While I could mod this myself, I just don't have to the talent in actual coding to pull this off to the best of its potential. I've never seen this done right and it is such a simple mod I'm surprised it has not been. What I'd like to see is where you make the turret on a bench, and that in itself is the requirement for the turret, that way you can set the turret to built at a position when assaulting one of the sieging groups, have a colonist go build it and then man it, only having to carry one part. and then deconstruct it back into that one part when finished, sort of like the E-web concept from Star Wars. Another variant would be a collapsible auto turret, possible having two kinds if possible, one with a solar panel graphic for its own power meaning it would only work in the day. another being just an auto turret, and requiring a small portable generator of the same concept. meaning you'd need to bring the turret and generator into battle able to run at any time of day, but needing two parts to run. The turret and a separate block, the generator. either way I'd like to see the manual  variant Thanks again if anyone decides to pick this up!

Hello all

I started into the modded scene and everything was going well. Then I added a few recipes and all the files needed for them. and now when I load up the game with the mod selected in modconfig, all I get is a black screen that I must alt-tab out of.

the output log produces this.

Sitting here writing my mod files and I come to the part of adding recipes to my bench, I understand you need the workgiverdef or something like that. Just not sure how those xml files work, I can't seem to find much information on those ones and would appreciate any clarification you can give.

Hello all!

Getting into the modding scene here with a lot of my work already done, I find myself in need of textures. I lack the talent to make any sort of decent looking art so I look to the forum community for help.

Originally the mod started as a way for me to have a sort of "end game goal" in rimworld, hooking together rimworld and FTl: Faster than light. I wanted to code a mod that allowed me to build the ftl starships. I am using those as place holder textures but the quality is horrible for how big I want the ships to be. as right now the placeholder ship is 35*21 in game tiles to give you an idea of how big the ships are. this is completely voluntary work as I can not pay anyone. so anyone who wants to give making a ship a try would be awesome and will be given credit for texture work as long as the texture is used and can be used in the large scale. if anyone wants to try making the smaller textures I can post a list.

This is the placeholder I am using from FTL
