[MOD] (Alpha 6) Gun Emplacements 1.2 Updated 07.30.2014

[Viper717]

Description:
Defense is a key factor in survival, but as of right now there aren't many options. As nice as it is to have a wall of improvised turrets, the energy strain can be overwhelming. We have brought you a new alternative choice. These turrets are powered by colonists.

With a set of mannable turrets, we take the energy requirements out of the equation by allowing your colonists to defend themselves. With a variety of turrets to choose from, as well as upgrades available, we allow you to play the game as you want to.


Features:
Adds 7 manned emplacements to the game.
Adds research for both emplacements and emplacement upgrades

Research Items:
Unlocks
Improved Emplacements - Using proper blueprints to improve your standard turret mount. This allows you to improve your turret capabilities by adding a variety of guns.
Advanced Emplacements - With better working knowledge of turrets you can create stronger turrets then before.
GE-X5 Enhanced Mortars - Unlocks the GE-X5 Enhanced Mortar with higher precision and fire rate over the standard mortar. Warning: Large explosion on destruction

Upgrades
GE-X0 Flammability - Newly designed coating applied to the GE-X0 decreases its flammability.
GE-X1 - GE-X4 Flammability - Newly formulated flame retardant substance derived from the GE-X0 research can now be applied to non-wood surfaces.
GE-X0 Armour Plating - Increase the HP of the GE-X0 by 200.
GE-X1 Armour Plating - Increase the HP of the GE-X1 by 200.
GE-X2 Armour Plating - Increase the HP of the GE-X2 by 200.
GE-X3 Armour Plating - Increase the HP of the GE-X3 by 200.
GE-X4 Armour Plating - Increase the HP of the GE-X4 by 200.
GE Burst Upgrade - Increase the number of shots per burst for the GE-X1, GE-X3, & GE-X4 by 2.

"Stock"

"Colourized"

"Just The Tips"

"WW2"

"Futuristic"


How to use:
- Each turret has an additional cost of silver, to account for the cost of the gun that is attached. This is to balance the game.
- Once placed, you can man these turrets the same way as the core game mortars by drafting a colonist, and right click the turret of choice.
- Some turrets may require additional research before they can be selected.
- GE-X0 can currently shoot over walls

These turrets were based off of weapons in Project Armory.

This seems fair. I can look into it.  What would make it stand out to you in comparison to the core-game mortar?

[IWannaChaos]

I've yet to try to mod but I noticed the texture on the leftmost gun emplacement looks pixelated compared to the other four.

Acurracy is golden raider vs colony mortars one made by a certified t ech and one by a dumb gun

Beta,
I'm not entirely clear as to what you're saying here. Are you saying that the raider motars currently have a greater accuracy than the mortars that the colonists can make?

Cheers

[BetaSpectre]

Well, I most certainly should have refrained from driving while texting with my phone.

Anyway what I mean't to say.

I would like to see a mod that would increase the the accuracy of the colonist's Mortars preferably with several research options.

[Ramsis]

Can I request a skin pack that makes the turrets not look so high tech? Sorry, they just look too silly for my liking

We can certainly look into making a "better" mortar, or possibly even just including some upgrades for the stock mortar.

We will have a look to see what we can come up with for an alternate "lower tech" skin pack. But it should be do-able.

Cheers

Hey there,
I've been doing the designs for the turrets. How low tech are you looking for? Are we talking primitive? Dark Ages? WW type?

A texture pack that matches the theme of the base game a bit better would be nice. On the low end, maybe something that resembles a WW2 DFP/machinegun nest.

Now, I guess we see it a bit differently. As I understood this game was set in a futuristic location (ex. The mechanical enimies, crash landing on a planet, the spaceship end-game), however I do like to make people happy. Let me start on a WW2 texture pack, and I will get it up as soon as possible.

[AfroHarrison]

So I did up some rough WW2 era turret looks based on pictures online. Am I going in the right direction for you? Let me know what you'd like to see differently, or what it is you're looking for.

Side note, that crossbow turret will probably become the new texture across all texture packs as someone previously commented that it looked pixelated in it's first rendition.
