This (my first mod) adds two new turrets:

   
• Manned Turret
  
  
  An emplacement for a brave sacrifice colonist. The mounted gun fires in 5-round bursts but has a slightly shorter range than its AI predecessor.

• Mounted Turret
  
  
  It's a bird! It's a plane! It's....a turret on a wall! That's right, we did it. No longer will you have to worry about those pesky tribesmen bashing your precious turrets.

Simple nice, and does exactly what it says on the tin.

Nice.
Do the wall mounted turrets have free range over all sides of the wall, or do you have to select which 'side' it's on?

do the turrets get any cover bonus?
also, this is going to get confused with the More Vanilla Turrets mod.

Mounted turrets can fire on any side of the wall. Unfortunately this means that, should your defensive line fail, the turrets may fire upon friendly colonists.

1. Yes and no. The Manned Turrets do provide more cover to the operator than simply standing behind some Sandbags. Mounted Turrets, however, simply provide colonists with the usual corner-cover bonus. The turrets themselves only benefit from the extra HP provided by the wall.
2. Meh. Right now this mod is so small (in terms of what it does) that I'm not too concerned.
