Cannon Ammo and Turrets
About:This is an edit of PunisheR007's mod "Cannons and Turrets" http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=3878.0 combined with my "Turret Ammo" mod http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=5183.0
The main change that I have made is that all of the heavier cannons will require a constant supply of ammunition to keep firing.
The idea behind this mod is to keep the awesome cannons and turrets that are In the mod, but require a decision to employ them or not because they will be using resources, so sometimes you will be better dealing with smaller attacks without the cannons.
Because of this I have rebalanced the costs involved with deploying the cannons (removing the shell/missile requirement to build them and reducing the power requirement).
Almost all of the stats are identical to the base mod by PunisheR007, so look through the title page of that mod for information on damage / firerate ect.
I have changed the display string on the smaller turrets to reduce the number of lines that it takes up, but have not made any game play changes to those (they don't need ammo).
How to use:The ammunition is provided by building a Hopper next to the Turret and filling it with the Ammunition resource that the turret requires, (usually Shells or Missiles).
If insufficient Ammunition is found to fire the Turret will powerdown and not powerup until the ammunition is provided.
Clicking on the Turret can provide information about the amount and type of resources that it requires.

It should do, I had the same issue. Was using the original mod, liked the ammo/hopper idea you implemented so switched, saw the wierdness so it made sense what the issue was.
Hoping to get into modding just going through some simple mods on my own for now to get the basics down. Shouldnt be too long before im firing mods at you peeps! :)
