[1.0] Turret Collection (update 02.03.2019, adds more contents)

[curtmaddog]

v1.8 turret overkill does not function for me. Black screen when I load the game. Tried re-downloading. Same result. Standard turret collection mod works fine. On Rimworld Alpha8 657. Nice work on the mod. Been a welcome challenge scrounging ai persona cores. And the cannon sfx is epic. Keep it up.

thanks for the kind words
have you delete the old version before unzip the new one?
have you activated the "turret collection" before activate "turret collection: overkill"? overkill need main mod to run.
try reastart rimworld after activate the mods, and try start a new game to see if the problem still exists.
i hardly changed the .xml files from v1.7c to v1.8, this is not supposed to happen.

Had same weird black screen issue, but seems fine now that I have started on a new map / new colony...

Agree with the cannon sfx. Great stuff!

Doesn't it make you feel good to see people making accounts to complement your mod?

[curtmaddog]

Got it running. Had to run the game with just turret collection installed then exit and install the overkill mod. Appreciate the help.

There are tons of mods for a million things in Rimworld, but I just couldn't find one that gives more options for defense without tons of fluff and needless micromanagement. This pack is great. It's simple as a doornail, build turret, point, shoot, things fall down. No excess BS. The Browning is the best thing since sliced bread for challenging game starts, the Howitzer is great for shelling the shellers before they shell your base to ruin, and the Chaingun stops any assault in it's tracks. They are kind of OP (almost game-breaking even) but when a horde of pirates or norballs show up, this is the only plausible way of staying alive, save for going full meta and building killrooms with tower-defense mazes with the vanilla turrets.

One thing though: could you implement a way to make the shells/rockets/EMP grenades ourselves and not rely on traders? It takes ages for one to show up AND carry at least some of it. Usually I have everything ready and my colony gets overrun because I can't get the last ingredients. If I could somehow craft these in the colony, that would be great.

thanks for the kind words, i may nerf some turrets like 5-10% and ammo crafting is already in my to-do list for next update.

I dunno if its been said already but if you build enough GAU-8 turrets you can level most of the map my turrets go off before I can even read  the raid notice. I wish I could edit the notice to say "pirates from the XX clan have arrived near by and are attack.... Running like pansies, nvm...

First off, great mod! Second, I have a texture problem?
It's a pink/red square with an X in it.
Here's how I found out:

I oped some Cyrocasket-things and one of the raiders that popped out was holding said square as a weapon. I went to check their gear and it was called a "Spotlight tower lamp".

You're the only mod I'm using with the words "Spotlight tower". I have no idea where lamp came from but I'm so confused. Any idea what's causing this?

Experiencing the same issue.

Think I'm just going to remove the Spotlight tower for now since I never use it anyway...

Texture problems usually go away if you restart the game (exit to Windows then get back in).

Actually I recently started a on new map / new game since I downloaded the Jaffa and Norbal mods. Unfortunately Mister 'X' is still showing up...

I haven't assign a texture to Spotlight (and other turret guns)since it shouldn't be spawned as a weapon. But if I remember correctly I do write the line

Code Select Expand

<canBeSpawningInventory>false</canBeSpawningInventory>

in the Def.

Thanks for the reply! It's not a game-ruining issue. I'll find out eventually.
