RailGun Superweapon
Description:This mod was really more for my amusement but I did think it turned out pretty well so I thought I would release it to you folks to check out, if it is well received I will add more features.
It is a heavily armored Railgun that fires single rounds of solid metal at supersonic speeds. In an attempt to balance it out I added a research requirement, made the resources needed to build it high, and it also has a high power consumption.
Features:
- Custom textures and firing sound
- New research project
- New Turret
Mod Team:How to Install:- Unzip the contents and place them in your RimWorld/Mods folder.
- Activate the mod in the mod menu in the game.
How to use:Pretty simple, install and activate. Research and destroy the raiders in style.
Download:To download go to the bottom of this post and click the attached file, I will be adding it to Rimworld Nexus ASAP.

Notes:Due to the high power requirement I suggest you go download Psyckosama's Atomic Power mod.
Thanks again,
Kilroy232

Any chance I could take this further by making it use a custom dll? I've got a good plan :)

Currently it explodes on contact, and doesn't pass over walls but that may change

Sorry for the inconvenience, I have to wait for the nexus page to be approved.
Say hello to my little friend. This is my boomstick.
etc.
You could make it 4x4 sized to balance it out. A big cannon volley would look so awesome.
I had actually tried that at one point, it was 3x3 but even then I was having some issues. I would like to try it again but I think I would have to resize the texture files and see if that helps
Needs a version that uses boomrats as ammo.

Not to steal a mod idea.....but I got over excited and drew a simple boomrat turret. Still could use some work.

Will it require a special hopper that only accepts boomrat corpse? Or...live boomrats?

I've never made a turret, its not working. Someone else would have to work that :P
it would be better if it used live boomrats (so it goes boom on impact) but... then you'd have to replace the bullet texture with a boomrat... and maybe also be able to pick up the (now spent) boomrat (dead) and use it for food?
just some ideas :P
Yeah Live boom rats sound great you just need to make a stock pile next to the gun and the colonist will capture boom rats put them in tiny metal cage's then a colonist will take them out and carry them to the gun and fire, and when it fire's, the boom rat explodes turning to raw boom rat meat, ready to be cooked :D
hmm yes that brings up another thing i'd like to see in rimworld... because a boomrat usually get's caught on fire shoulden't the meat be (at least) semi-cooked?

Kind of surprised you take the time to read some of these dude, but its definitely cool that you do. Especially my stuff, I have asked some dumb questions and will probably continue to :p

And also this (http://www.beekeeping.com/articles/us/war_bees.htm):
"Jumping to the eleventh century, Emperor Henry I's troops, commanded by General Immo, defended their fortifications by launching a barrage of beehives at the siege forces of Duke Geiselbert of Lorraine and sent them scurrying."

Those bees must've been really,
really pissed when they land. It's a solid strategy.
I love the idea of a railgun in this game, but aesthetically it doesn't fit the tone of the game. If it was a little less clean cut and and a little dirtier I think it would fit in fine, just a suggestion.

Like I had said in the description this is the first version, the next release should be a little more appropriate to the theme and a little more fined tuned

Off topic but, I used to play Clonk. Like a 2d colony, mining, building etc. Anyway, while mining out some of the rock or other elements you would have to be careful not to disturb hornets? nests as they would swarm you and could be lethal if you hang around. Could be incorporated into tree harvesting too. Just a thought.
I find the blast radius is abit big and if target get close.
oh! i just thought of a funny idea for the boom cannon (idk came up with it last min) when firing the boomrat it should make a "SQUUUEEEEEEEEE" sound like the boomrat screaming across to it's target XD
(and maybe glomp it's target and hurt it a lil before exploding to simulate it grabbing onto it's target and nibbling a lil... just for a taste... *insert vampire boomrat mod here*)
can u make a new area like home but for railgun not to shoot, well when angry tribe break in or mob drop suddenly...the railgun is hell on earth for colony lol
