I went through a few pages and found nothing like it but I was wondering if it was possible to create a mod that basically makes a Turret base but with the addition of allowing the user to mount a gun of their choice on it instead. I think this would be very interesting as usually I have a missive abundance of gun laying around doing nothing useful so maybe just putting down the base that would be cheap, like 50 metal?, and then just sticking a shotgun on it or a pistol would really help make all of the stupid raider's guns a bit more useful. Maybe the down side could be they take more energy or fire a bit less accurately but I think that it could be very worth while and help with quite a few problems. Thanks for reading any way :p
Tynan actually made it.
it's in for the next version, then maybe some modder will make different versions for it! :)
it's in the changelog
Turrets can now require manning to work. This is the case for artillery.

I meant as in just mount a stand alone gun that fires with out any human interaction not as in the people needed for them as in Literally Fixing say a pistol to a turret stand and have it fire automatically at people :)

I could do a stand alone mod for that you want it? ill make it! :D
let me just clarify.
so you mean. its like a turret. but it is interchangeable right?
so at first. make say a [Gun Stand] then whatever Gun you put in it It will turn into that kind of stand.
For Example:
In the [Gun Stand] you want to put a (ShotGun)
then the [GunStand] will turn into a Shotgun Stand.
is it like that?

Perfect :) I would love to use it in a modded series or even put it into a mod pack I was going to work on :3

I second this idea, seems like a very cool idea :) Though if possible add a chance that when removing a gun after installation it will destroy the gun.. All cool powerful features have to have a downside :p

Very True But not only that but maybe they should also be a lot less likely to explode or at least have low damage just to make it a bit more viable but maybe have low health
hey guys its almost done ill have it uploaded in about 6hours from now? i don't know, im still at school so. yeah. :)
What I did was:
Make a gun stand to that accepts weapons.
basically the gun stand is a storage for weapons.
but strictly vanilla weapons and not mechanoid weapons.
it will accept all weapons but you can set restrictions on it just like a hopper.
then, whatever gun you put on it, it will transform into that kind of turret.
example:
You put a (Pistol) on a [Gunstand] it will turn into an [Equipped Gun Stand] that has a (Pistol) installed on it.
Feature:
It has a Dismantle button just like how forbidding items work.
when you click on it it will dismantle the [Equipped GunStand] and return the Gun that you equipped on it, and it will turn back into an [Unequipped Gun Stand] that accepts weapons again.
The Gunstand will have varying health depending on what Weapon you installed.
Though it will have the same energy requirement.
It will have very low accuracy. maybe like -2 to the weapon accuracy, low health, and it won't explode because it's just a gun stand.
how about that guys? :)
Sounds really good :) but maybe not lowwer accuracy as it is a robot doing the shooting :/ to be honest I thought maybe it would be more accurate. I dont really know though any thoughts? Unless could there research to improve the accuracy like advanced targetting or somthing :)
Im really thinking about lower accuracy because my idea is its a gun strapped to something. hmm.. I made turret top basically just the weapons. so it's like a tilted gun stuck onto the gunstand.
doing research isn't really necessary, but if you want it, it can be done. :)
but if you insist on accuracy, I can make it stay on the same accuracy as the weapon stats.
what do you think?
we should finalize it now. :) I'll be going home in a couple of mins :)
I think yes for lower accuracy but then the research could put it to normal levels and then prehaps a higher level where it improves reload speed and another for accuracy? How does that sound?
Hey flebe I have uploaded the mod here. (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4120.0)
What I did was -1 accuracy from the original weapon to the turret, and made HP low, like half of the improvised turret but same energy requirement.
If you really want research I could do an iteration. but can you test it first and post there? Thankyou!
