 Extended Turrets Mod

(http://i.imgur.com/TRBFdEM.png)

Description:
An update for interested users, I have uploaded the mod to steam's workshop under the name "Extended Turrets Mod" for easier access and use for everyone on steam. As well as that I have updated the Nexus Mods page for the users who do not have or use steam. I hope that everyone continues to enjoy this mod and that your colonies stay safe and secure!
Extended Turrets Mod on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=754095466&tscn=1472440921)

This mod adds five new auto-turrets to game making it easier to defend your colony. There are also new research projects for the turrets along with custom sounds and textures.
This mod is meant for use in the later stages of the game and so to accommodate this each turret requires a hefty amount of research, resources and build time.

Notes:
Some features that can be expected in the future are some more research projects that will provide minor tweaks and improvements to the existing turrets.
I will continue to provide minor fixes and work on larger features for the mod.
!! I have not made any changes recently, just updated this page. You can expect updates soon and I am always happy to receive suggestions or told told about problems people are having.

Changes For Version 1.8.0:
-Updated for the Alpha 18 version of Rimworld

Turrets:
1. Standard Turret
This turret is as the name suggests, an improved version if the improvised turret. The turret fires in bursts of four with reduced cooldown time and increased health.

2. Long Range Turret
This turret is an improvised turret that has been fitted with an M-24 sniper rifle. A single high powered round is fired before cooldown, but the range and accuracy of the turret make up for the slow rate of fire, sometimes less is more.

3. Laser Turret
A complex assembly of lenses and electronics, this turret focuses a beam of high energy light at the enemy to deal damage with perfect accuracy but with pauses between charges.

5. Energy Turret
This is the tip top of the charts. This turret has it all, high rate of fire, high damage and high max health. Instead of using conventional projectiles this turret is able to convert electricity into an almost pure form of energy.

Install:
To install this mod you simply but the directory folder (the folder containing the About, Def, Texture... etc. folders) into your mods folder. In game select the mods menu and select the Turret Pack mod.
This mod does not require a new colony, you can start using it at any point and any update unless specified will not require a new colony.

Credit:
All of the new textures and the C# code for the 'lazer' turret are the work of mrofa (http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=2507). He has contributed lots of his time helping me put some more detail into this mod, he deserves a lot if credit for his skill I cannot thank him enough.

License:
Download and share this mod as you want but don't change it or sell it without my consent

Where's the heavy turret? D:

I haven't gotten that far yet, its on its why though I promise. I have had to change a lot of things to get the mod working on alpha 7 and I wanted to be able to share some of it with you guys asap

Good Mod, but before I restart another colony and use it, might I ask the costs of each Turret?
I assume there is a Research involved, yes?

Just wondering because I currently use another set https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4601.0 (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=4601.0) when I'm playing with zombies, so perhaps the two Mods could work together rather well.

!!!Currently I am having a problem with the sniper turret base texture, it is super tiny in game. If anyone know what the problem might be I would greatly appreciate the help!!!

Two things that I noticed.
1. You don't have <overdraw>true</overdraw> tag in the "SniperTurretStructure.xml" This looks to be what tells it to scale the image to the size of the building
2. Also the Size is set to <size>(1,1)</size> for the Sniper while the other turrets are set to (2,2), I don't know if this is a deliberate choice.

Nice work Kilroy  ;)

HOORAH! THE SNIPER TURRET RETURNS!

Yay! Glad you managed to update this, been wanting new simple turrets .

Will there be a Incap Turret?  ::)

Good work,love your turrets, " Will there be a Incap Turret? "

As I have just updated the mod again today you may notice I have added a few little things. To sum up:
1. Thank you very much to Jaxxa for pointing out my dumb mistake

Quote
<overdraw>true</overdraw>
tag in the "SniperTurretStructure.xml" This looks to be what tells it to scale the image to the size of the building

2. The heavy turret is back! [insert party here]

3. I will begin working on an incapacitation turret because I think that would be pure awesome. This may take some time however because I do make all my own texture, sounds etc.

Please leave any comments or questions, and I will try to get back to you with a reasonable answer. Thank you for the support guys :)

How about suggestions? Want some suggestions?
I would like to see a chain lightning type of turret if possible. It could fill the 'incapacitation turret' slot as well.

Thanks for updating this for a7

Let me know if you think there is ever anything that could be changed.

Where is the screenshot for the Heavy Turret,also can you explain why most of these seem like 1x1?In your old mod you made them 2x2.Seems weird,although I don't mind more normal looking turrets(Staying true to the original improvised one)

The screen shot for the heavy turret is second from the second last screenshot in the original post. As for size there was a little mix up at one point but all of the turrets have been 2x2 with the exception of the sniper turret which is and has always been 1x1.
I am assuming you got the idea that the turrets are 1x1 from the pictures. I should has used a colonist or something for scale, so this is my mistake.

I want a rpg turret :3 i love explosions.

hey great mod :) makes this extreamely useful for a little bit safer defense, especially paired with the rimworld enhanced defence mod :D

Thanks for the mod!

if u take a look at the bushes or trees u can easily know the size of the different turrets^^ no need to put a villager

one of my favorite mod great job

If the sniper turret misses the torso, either a hand or a leg is flying in the air right now.  ;D

In the next update you guys can expect new firing sounds for the turrets that don't already have them (improved, incendiary and heavy) as well as a TOW Launcher.

Thank you for all the positive comments, I will continue to try and provide an effective mod for you guys

seems has a "draw radius" issue with the new Turret, otherwise pretty good, espesially the new sound.

Thanks for pointing that out, I have noticed a few little bugs after some more play testing and I am going to fix it asap. I have been dealing with midterms lately so I am a bit behind.

Nice update! I wish the information tab would list the damage rate like weapons do (weapons have a stats tab that shows rate of fire, damage, cooldown, etc); would that be possible so we could easily know which is best for situations?

I have never heard of there being any compatibility issues with other mods nor have I ever had any myself

One small note: The ToW launcher often gets deployed with raiders who would typically have mortars, since it requires power they often have deployment that not only distracts one of their numbers but also can't work at all.

What about a tesla turret? high energy consumption, very high ROF (or chaining between targets) electric damage, pain inducing (easier incapacitate)

A funny little mistake on my part eh? I have fixed it and am working on a few other things and then I will post an update. Sorry for the inconvenience

For some reason the link doesn't seem to work for me. Anyone know why?

EDIT:
Apparently, it takes about 10 times for it to work.

I really like that sniper turret. It blends well to its surrounding area. Also heavy and energy turrets are very cool. Good job, you just earned my respect.

For anyone interested I've done a rather sloppy conversion of this mod from a7 to a8.

I also changed some stuff to suit my personal taste (Removed TOW launcher, reduced sizes of turrets, changed some sounds and made my own vanilla-friendly art based on the original designs.)

Some problems that remain with this conversion,
- Alpha bleeding on the turret tops
- Custom turret bases don't appear properly ingame, so they're using the vanilla base.

Keep in mind this is my own personal conversion and I in no way wish to take credit for any of the original work done on the mod, this is only to tide players away until the official conversion comes around.

[attachment deleted due to age]

wow, nice work! i really like the vanilla-compatible graphics, thanks for taking the time to update to a8

Uploaded a new version, fixed the alpha-bleeding with the graphics and added a custom incendiary turret sound aswell as a changed the energy turret bullet graphic and firing sound.

Link above should be updated.

thank you for your work hunter712!

fyi:  it helps us users if you somehow include the version in the archive name.
perhaps Turretpack-1.2h<version> (h to show its yours and based on of the OP version 1.2, just in case he returns and starts coding a 'real' version)

lol.  or just ignore me, what you've done is splendid

Can't wait for Alpha 8 update! This is a must-have mod!

Added :>

Version number ingame should be Alpha 8, name of the zip itself should be v1.2b Alpha 8 (The b signifying the conversion)

Thanks for the work Hunter712.  I really like your version. :)

Uploaded an update to my conversion, changes include some modifications made to the graphics, nerfed all the turrets ( I feel they're terribly OP, especially the sniper turret.), changed the name on the improvised turret to modified turret (It was a tad confusing since there was already an 'improved' turret alongside an 'improvised'.), changed the name of the energy turret to charged turret, and added a new sound for the heavy turret.

The sniper turret is probably still necessary to take out heavily armoured foes. Like those centipedes or the Jaffa from the Jaffa mod.

Quote from: kokuto on December 24, 2014, 02:08:51 AM
The sniper turret is probably still necessary to take out heavily armoured foes. Like those centipedes or the Jaffa from the Jaffa mod.

It's still very powerful, I had it mow down almost an entire group of raiders before they closed down into cover.

A little indepth of things I did though, I made the sniper turret have just a tiny bit less range with 5 points of damage reduction, and nerfed the health to 250.

For the heavy turret I reduced the range on it (So it can't solo massive groups at long range now, leaving the long range for the sniper turret), reduced the health by 100, and reduced the damage a very tiny bit.

Balancing changes between all the turrets involves material cost reduction and energy consumption reduction (Especially the improved/modified turret.)

So the turrets are still VERY effective, but I wanted to try and make it so that making one single sniper/heavy turret wasn't the endgame strategy.

Depending on if Kilroy decides to drop the mod (Or gives me the greenlight to actively update it for him), I will spend more time on the balancing and whatnot of the turrets, I still feel theres a lot of unpolished material that needs changed.

Oh so far, I've been actively testing out using bunkers of Sniper turrets. They are generally effective against vanilla enemies if the numbers aren't too great. Once it exceeds a certain threshold, even a bunker of 3-4 sniper turrets is not much use.

Against modded factions like the Orks from WH40k, their effectiveness is lowered even further, again due to numbers.

anyone can tell me how to unlock new towers? i don't remember >.<

I cant seem to get this to work, going to try the new version, but the research for the turrets is not in the research tab, only gun turret cooling, and that is vanilla D:

The new version works!

HI. I'm new to th forums but does this work with alpha 8? I don't get any turrets when I install it and set as the first thing to load.

This could be a conflict with Mai+miscelaneous.

Let me know.
Thanks :D

Look here (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=6770.msg83927#msg83927), I made a conversion of the mod to a8.

Thanks, Just noticed it and tried it but it won't work. Sent you a message.

Edit: Never mind. Silly me didn't check that it has a duel folder. Turret pack is the one you install. -.-
Works fine.

By Hunter712, just 2 posts before yours ^^

Will this mod be updated for Alpha 9. I like the old sniper turret.

Agreed, really love this mod. Please update it.

okay, so I am back again with an update for alpha 9. Sorry to make you good folks wait but it took me a little time to collect my thoughts and make some minor changes.

Before I release the update though I would just like to know if people have any requests for the next update, leave ideas in the comments please.

Just one: make them movable!

Quote from: 10001110 on March 06, 2015, 04:56:38 PM
Just one: make them movable!

I am not sure I understand the request you are making... care to expand on the idea? (or an example?)

incap turret or stun turret

How about a real heavy armored turret? Slow, close, high damage. Something like a tank, with a shield as well. Maybe it could grab the attention of the attackers while other turrets take the enemy down.

I would also really love to see more upgrades for individual turrets. For example, adding a longer barrel for the sniper turret, or an upgrade that would make it fire faster, ect. Or maybe a tri barrel sniper turret. Things like that would really be something to look forward to. Just random upgrades that make the current turrets awesome, more awesome.

Moveable turrets: You build the turrets at a bench and then have to place a single object (Like sculptures from A8). When you dismantle it you get the item back and can therefore move it without wasting metal. You can also make a turret factory this way and sell them for silver to the Combat suppliers or Slavers.

I gotcha, this concept actually seems like where the game is headed as well. My plan as it stands is to release the mod updated for alpha 9 with a new turret for incapacitations only. After that I believe this will be on my priority list.

Also, might I ask. Is the A8 Conversion compatible with A9? Because I CAN NOT play with out it. Because eventually I befriend all factions and regularly get attacked by mechanoids. CURSE YOU SNIPERS! Also one of my snipers once shot off the head of my healer in my colony while a Centipede crushed the left leg of my melee guy.

Unfortunately I never personally got around to making a A8 version of this mod. I know one or two lovely people on this forum have helped my by doing the necessary corrections to make it compatible but I have neither looked at those versions nor looked into that possibility.

I promise I will have a A9 version up in the next day or two at the most!:)

Edit: Alright, so I have uploaded a version of this mod that is compatible with A9 that also includes a stun turret. I will hopefully continue to be working on this mod further and so I will always be listening to any issues, suggestions or complaints.

Finally, my favorite turret mod is updated \o/ Thank you Killroy :)

This was my favorite turret mod, too! 

I am so glad you updated it Kilroy!  Thank you so much for your hard work!

The mod that I love so much for literately having a sniper turret then 3 shots Scythers with extreme accuracy is finally A9 Compatible!

ADD TOW TURRET i loved it. maybe add dmg vs mechanoids

These turrets, while a great idea, seem very overpowered. If the turrets are too powerful, survival is too easy, and there is no incentive to improve your colonists or your base.  Could you look into the things Hunter did with the unofficial Alpha 8 update and Nerf them a little?  Thanks!  It looks like it could be a great mod!

This mod was originally made for Alpha 2 or 3 when the middle to late game would send swarms of 20 to 30 pirates at you all at once, that has since changed and I think the mods needs to change as well.

I agree that the weapons in this mod are too powerful and I have had a number of ideas on how to deal with this but I would like to ask the people that use this mod what they would like to see nerfed. Do people think one thing is more overpowered than another and good ways to combat this?

I could simply reduce damage, or health. I could increase cool down time or required materials to build. Another idea I had was that for each turret you would need to have the weapon it is based one to build it. I.E, if you wanted to build the sniper turret you would need a sniper rifle in your stock.

I would love to hear peoples opinions and ideas, this is for you just as much for me and it makes my job much easier if I have an idea of what people would like.

not tried this mod yet, but i will.

i use zombies-mod, which means waves of 20-30 and more, are pretty common, i also only play with advisor randy on serious or extreme. so over-powered is a relative term to me.

however if they are really over-powered, the best i reckon to nerf them, is a slight reduction in damage and a slight increase in cool-down to balance.

i'll let you know my thoughts later on when i install the mod and start a new game.

okay started a new game (didn't wanna dev-cheat. i only use Randy and serious or extreme setting with Zombie-mod.)

here`s my opinion; :D

the new turrets are pretty far down the tech-tree, took me awhile to get there, which is good i reckon, makes them kick in around mid-game.
i got the sniper turret first.... at first i thought way over-powered. 4sec cool-down. this thing is rapid fire compared to stock turret with CD 6secs. it stops dead the loners or small bunches (10 under).

however the larger mid/late swarms, lol.... certainly not over powered.
in my defence i have 2 stock turrets, 3 snipers, 1 heavy turret, 3 improved turrets and 2 manned M2.brownings from another turret mod. the waves always knockout a quarter or half my turrets...

if playing with zombie-mod and higher challenge mode.... these fit perfectly balance wise, playing normal rimworld, maybe abit over-powered on the CD.

however in my opinion for what i use your mod with, its perfectly fine.
i much prefer your turret-mod looks.... really fits in well with stock.

only thing missing i reckon is some man-able turrets, for when solar flares hits or when you simply run out of power.

i use 3 turret mods. yours is second in my list, but only just!

i thank you for your time and effort put into the mod, your deserve many Rim-cookies!!!

Thanks for this mod, Kilroy.  This mod saved Rimworld for me via the sniper turret.  It started getting REALLY old having bandits plink my turrets out of range, and the sniper turret takes care of that.

When will this mod be updated. This is an essential part of my colony defense due to the lack of proper defensive methods available in game.

Addressing this soon with an update of my old a8 conversion if that is acceptable, will be doing a ton of balancing changes before I roll it out.

I can wait, look forward to when it gets update.

Any chance you can do a quick update for A10? I miss the sniper...

Yeah, it would be cool to get an update to the mod. This is my favorite turret mod. :)

Hey Killroy, I'm getting errors on all the turrets something related to exception drawing. Can't even close the error window. The turret base shows but the barrels dont show.

I'm having the same problem as well.

Cool! Take your time, no rush! Looking forward to the stun turret!

Keep getting this error, can't dismantle it either all i can do is shot it to pieces.

Using the download on first page and alpha 10.

I am currently using this as my only turret mod (in Alpha 10F).  I have built one of each turret on this list in my current game, and am sad to say none of them work.  They don't shoot.  When I select one (to manually) make is hoot at a target, instead of the expected icons (including the target selector), it shows a bunch of (java?) code text.

I have lost a bunch of good colonists sir!  :)

Sorry guys, I have been busy with me job and moving into my new apartment (just got internet yesterday) but I will get this sorted in the morning and ready to use for all you good people.

Much love brother. Just installed the mod and noticed it bugged out.

Okay, so it took me WAY too long to figure out what was wrong but I have finally sorted it out and we are back up and running! Links have been updated and you are free to download

There's an error in your TOW turret and modified turret.
It's in a some script error.

About making turrets minifiable, you should ask BBream, he wrote the DLL in my mod which initialises turrets. I think he'd be happy just to be credited if you use his code in your mod, though!

Well, if you want to test it out, just lift the DLL from Hot and Cold Minification (https://www.dropbox.com/s/tbxvpqsswbzwysv/HotCold_Minification149.zip?dl=0) and add the following to your turret's XML:

Cool~ Will give it a go tonight.
Though is Kilroy232 himself going to be updating the page for this? Because it does seem that he's no longer around recently.. (his last active date was like 14 June)

Dont know i couldnt get in touch with him to

If he doesn't come back or intend to continue updating maybe you could consider starting a new thread to notify about the update. Assuming you intend to takeover where he left off :).

Its a big maybe, and even then i will need atleast his promission.

Im going to be honest, after trying it out for about an hour I think that the heavy 12 burst turret is extremely underpowered for its energy cost, I used the god mode to spawn about 10 of them in and after sending in a decent sized raid, my base fell. The turrets were just so inaccurate over multiple attempts that they just dont seem worth it.

If anything raise their accuracy a tad bit... but thats just my 2 cents

I've rarely used the heavy turrets myself as I find that the sniper turret and standard turret is more than sufficient to defend my base. The sniper turret especially can be a beast once its fully upgraded.

From what I see of the heavy turret, it only works best if you can bottleneck the raiders coming in. Usually through means of a killzone or something. However, its still wildly inaccurate and its used more to slow raiders down by inflicting injuries on them through hit or miss. If combined with the sniper turret and standard turrets though, they will be a formidable defence.

Thats true, I just figured that 12 bullets would do a whole lot more damage and be alot more accurate than a few hits every burst. If ya know what I mean.

It have more health and its more effective to fight canepids, before full upgrade atleast.

The thing to look at with turrets (or any weapon, really) is how accurate it is at the specified range points. If there's a significant fall-off of accuracy with range, it doesn't matter how many bullets it's putting out, it won't hit much at maximum range. But if it is accurate at short range, then those bullets could do significant damage at that range - as Euzio says, you just need to fit it in somewhere where it is most effective.

Turrets also attract enemies, so even if a turret isn't particularly accurate on its own, it can lure enemies into the range of turrets (or colonists) which are.

Thank you for putting up with my forgetfulness and a big thank you to mrofa for taking the time to move this mod over to A11.

If you have played it then you have already seen that there are some major improvements and still some more work to me done. mrofa was kind enough to make all new textures that blow my work out of the water as well as adding dll coding to add new research projects.

I hope that everyone enjoys that improvements and as always I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions in this thread.

Been using it in my recent play through. Love the texture upgrades. Makes everything look alot cooler. I also like how the research paths have been expanded upon.

Also, although its considered a nerf, I did like seeing how the turrets now require more power than normal. Always felt the sniper turret especially was rather OPed in the past with its lower power cost. Now its just about right and I have to juggle between toggling my turrets on or off to ensure sufficient power.

Anyone know if it is compatible with A12 yet?

It works fine with A12, although I do get an error on start up, but it doesn't seem to affect anything. That's actually the reason I came here, to try and solve this. On startup, I get these errors. I get the error whether I have just the turret pack mod loaded, or any other number of mods. And as I mentioned already, it doesn't actually seem to affect anything, as all the turrets seem to be working correctly.

Its a problem with HEdiff defs in xml, since the stun turret actually put them to sleep ;p

Hey guys, trying to download this but I get an error with dropbox saying I do not belong here? Found it odd. Any thoughts one how I can download?

Well I am back again after another semester of school and I am really interested with all the new updates to the game what people are looking for from this mod.

I have already begun to make addition and changes including:
-Spelling and grammar in the research projects
-Making the research projects branching instead of one after the other
-Stun turret mechanics

I am thinking of adding armor piercing ammunition to turrets and give them higher damage output (would like thoughts on that). Could look into making the turrets portable like the statues and other objects.
Thinking of cutting out the missile launching turret.

Really though I would like to know what you guys want to see. What aspects do you like, what don't you like. Please let me know and we will try to make this all prefect

Hello! How to fix?

This is part of the assembly for the Stun Turret. Currently I can't fix this because its uses Project Armour but that hasn't been updated to Alpha 12. For the time being it works as is and I will work on updating the parts I need for myself

the climbs to avoid the error, remove the file in Toksins HediffDefs))) It is not correct!

I can throw you a version without error Stun! And without Stun!

Same for me, I second this tho. This was the best mod for turrets. All new ones seem to be missing textures for the bullets. :o

Would anyone be interested in one of the following ideas for this mod:

-A trader that deals primarily in weapons and armour
-A new kind of perimeter defense like barbed wire or firewall
-Rocket artillery to be used against sieges

I think we already have a space trader that deals in weapons/armor?
More perimeter defence is always nice to have.
What sort of rocket artillery are we talking? Something like an MLRS? multishot salvo with long reload? That could be fun.

Just found this mod and can't hold myself back, the title says it's version 1.5.6 but the OP says it's 1.5.5 and there is a typo in the description of the improved turret (improved version *of) :)

Gonna test it now and see how it does

I don't remember if the vanilla turrets do it as well, but I've noticed that the turrets also shoot at downed enemies. Makes capturing them rather difficult.

Hey love the mod, although I feel extremely stupid but I can't change my turrets to different ammo types and I can't find anyway to do so?

I don't mean to seem rude but I have played many hours with this mod and I can assure you that the turrets don't fire at downed enemies. Having said that if there are active enemies very close to downed enemies there is a chance that a stray bullet (or bullets) may hit the downed individual just like with any other weapon.

There is also the smallest chance that if you are running other mods that change the behavior of the turrets a problem could arise but otherwise I personally have never had this problem.

Currently there two turrets two have alternative ammo types are the long-range sniper turret and the energy turret and you can change them by researching the new ammo types. Once you have researched them they will become actively used by the respective turret.

I have never been told there are any conflicts with Combat Realism and this mod, there shouldn't be because all of the things I have modded here are self contained. I have not changed anything from the base game.

Having said that if you find any issues please feel free to tell me and I will clear it up.

I went through and I checked very carefully and in my case at least the research projects do infact change the projectile that the turret uses

can not load the textures of "Things\Projectile\Rocket"

Had the same error, checked the def's and textures etc, couldn't find anything strange, so I thought it might be some kind of compatibility issue with some other mod.

So I moved this mod above that one (and a lot of other mods as well), now everything seems to work ok. Can't think of any of the other mods I had loaded above this one which will cause an issue like this, but I've been testing mods all day so I'll leave it to you to troubleshoot further.

I am very sorry to everyone that had any trouble because of my oversight. I am happy to say though that I have removed the source of the error completely and that this mod works just as intended now.
As always I am happy to get suggests, ideas and any problems people are having. Thank you for your continued interest!

Since I didn't see any new feed back I can confirm it seems you have fixed the issue and the costs in general appear to be back where they should be.

If you are looking for input of any sort maybe some sort of direct fire artillery that uses shells like mortars or lighter auto-fire slow rate of fire auto-cannon turret.

Thanks for the effort.

Thank you for taking the time to let others know that this is infact working properly.

As for direct fire artillery I have been looking for something new to do :)

Thanks for making this mod. After some initial testing in dev mode, it seems far more balanced than More Vanilla Turrets.

Can you possibly post the turret stats as well? I'd like to compare the turret damage, burst count, fire rates, etc.

"Not enough squares to get to radius 60.  Max is 56.40036"

Does anyone know if this red error is related to this mod?  It pops up when the sniper turrets get a target, or when I destroy a sniper turret.  Not any other turret, only sniper turrets.

bump for A16 update pls :)

A16 update please!

Would love an A16 update assuming this isn't compatible (too lazy to check). Also you might want to check the sniper turret, from what I remember 2-3 shots would kill a Scyther so you only, ONLY needed them. From memory they targeted the thorax a lot on them.

I am happy to announce that this mod is now updated to run with alpha 16! Thank you for your patience and I am also happy to tell you that many fixes have been made along with the addition of new content including the 'Lazer' turret

When I enable your mod I get this error "couldn't relax research project coordinates apart after 200 passes" (see screenshot).  When I disable the mod the error goes away.  The mod is being loaded near the very end of my load order, just before my miniaturization mods.

Having said that I am only one person and I cannot guarantee there are no bugs so if anyone has any problems please let me know. I am also happy to listen to any requests or ideas that you may have for the mod. I am doing my best to learn to write C# for the mod to provide a more detailed and higher quality mod.

It sounds like some how the version of the mod you are using hasn't updated from the workshop. That was one of the problems I fixed when I updated the mod. One way to fix it might be to unsubscribe from the mod on steam and then run the game, make sure it is gone then close the game and subscribe again and try.

The laser turret is messed up. I've made myself few changes; you may be interested:
- Fixed laser turret definitions, cleaning up some weird settings.
- Fixed turret laser to not be craftable and to not appear in the game as loot or trade inventory.
- Increased a bit sniper turret accuracy, so it would be less overwhelmed by laser turret (it is now on par with Superior sniper rifle)
- Changed Energy turret to do Bullet damage, since Frostbite is broken now - game AI never recognizes it as an attack.
- Removed empty research named "label."

Things should better be fixed, but are hard coded:
- It looks like laser turret has forced friendly fire.

Thanks Oblitus, I was left wondering what was going on with the lazer turret. I thought it was a mounting point for OHU dropships or something.

Here's a mega link to a quick re-branding for B18 that I've been using alongside a healthy implementation of Oblitus' kindly tweaks and fixes; common syntax errors tidied up to some satisfaction. I haven't touched the library, so if something mysteriously explodes 2 hours into your next colony, you're free to lay blame and throw terrible insults my way. Then, in the aftermath, hopefully pause for a moment of introspection -- and at the threshold of enlightenment, thoughtfully acknowledge that I warned you and it's your own fault for using it in the first place.

Enjoy!

I tried this, and it seems the laser turret is still acting oddly.

Exception ticking LazerBeam27450: System.MissingMethodException: Method not found: 'Verse.Thing.TakeDamage'.

Oh my, well that answers the question of whether the old A17 library will work with B18. That's what I get for my hacky efforts. Apologies!

You might want to avoid using the lazer turret until an official update finds its way out. For at least this week, I'm unable to re-compile the library for B18 due to chronic procrastination (it's a real sickness!) and crippling fear of other peoples' source code having many files (#gitohippopottamorphobia). I have more excuses, but they're boring real-life things.

This mod has been updated by me and with minor play testing I have found no bugs. If you find any errors please let me know.

If you have any suggestions or requests I am always happy to hear them!

Awesome! I'm always looking for balanced, simple turret mods like this that don't seem too over the top, and every turret is well defined with a purpose that isn't too redundant. Also, I was reading on your OP that you plan on maybe having researches to improve your turrets. Just a FYI, there is a mod SS Researchable Stat Upgrades. I have it, and one of the things you can do with that mod is actually change comps and verbs inside of defs through researches. So one of the things you can research with that mod is to make regular vanilla turrets shoot 4 bullets instead of 3. It does this by changing the comp or verb (can't remember) inside of the thingDef. Something I thought you might be interested in, or anyone for that matter, if they want to have something fun like that to play around with, and make their turrets upgradeable through research, or really change tons of stuff with that mod! :)

Thanks for the update. Appreciate your hard work!

Lazer turret gun is still missing tags preventing spawn as normal weapon:

<canBeSpawningInventory>false</canBeSpawningInventory>
<tradeability>Never</tradeability>
<destroyOnDrop>true</destroyOnDrop>

Energy turret still uses inappropriate damage type. If you really want it to inflict cryo damage, make your own:

  <DamageDef ParentName="LocalInjuryBase">
    <defName>ET_Frostburn</defName>
    <label>frostburn</label>
    <externalViolence>true</externalViolence>
    <deathMessage>{0} has bean frozen solid.</deathMessage>
    <hediff>Frostbite</hediff>
    <harmAllLayersUntilOutside>true</harmAllLayersUntilOutside>
    <impactSoundType>Bullet</impactSoundType>
    <armorCategory>Heat</armorCategory>
  </DamageDef>
and change Energy Turret Round accordingly:

  <ThingDef ParentName="BaseBullet">
    <defName>Bullet_EnergyTurret</defName>
    <label>Energy Turret Rounds</label>
<graphicData>
    <texPath>Things/Projectile/EnergyBall</texPath>
<graphicClass>Graphic_Flicker</graphicClass>
</graphicData>
    <projectile>
      <damageDef>ET_Frostburn</damageDef>
      <damageAmountBase>15</damageAmountBase>
      <speed>50</speed>
    </projectile>
  </ThingDef>

It would properly inflict damage and still count as external violence.

CE version pls

Any plans for this mod to be updated to 1.0? Thanks.

Oh ya, I will be doing that as soon as possible! I have updated the mod to A19 on steam already and hopefully I can have it updated for 1.0 before next week

Your not the only one a lot of mod makers update first for Steam. I own a Steam copy of the game too. But I don't like playing this game on Steam. So what I do is subscribe to a mod I like. Copy it out of the Steam Workshop folder. Rename the file to the proper name. And plop it into Ludeon Rimworld mod folder. Works 100% of the time. lol I have gotten some Steam exclusive mods or early mods that get updated on Steam days or weeks ahead of here.

For everyone that doesn't use the steam version of the game I have uploaded the 1.0 release compatible version of the mod to Nexus Mods (https://www.nexusmods.com/rimworld/mods/6/?) for you.

Hey, fan update to 1.1, will be removed as soon as possible, if kilroy232 comes back or messages me.
