[2025 update]

I was talking to Tynan a few days ago about RimWorld font and its existence and so far there was no official font made.
He gave me permission to give a shot at it, nothing official just something to make life easier for YouTubers or modders who want to imitate RimWorlds logo appearance for their thumbnails or mod titles.
I am aware it's far from perfect as it's my first legitimate attempt at making one,
and it's by no means designed to write long paragraphs with =p

To be more clear this has nothing to do with in-game implementation.
Its sole purpose is to give you the font for your custom image titles or thumbnails,
that you might create in Photoshop or any other image making software.
I hope this ends up helping some people in the long run.

2025 update
A decade overdue revision that adds some basic missing glyphs and reworked character spacing.
If you have the older version, once installing it will ask to overwrite the older one.

[Main mod]

v1.8.5

Description
A little mod that adds more turret variations with the attempt to keep their vanilla art style along with some careful balancing.

Have a quick glance at what it's all about in the video below.

Included turrets

Gun complex

A perimeter mounted gun is designed to work regardless if you have power or not as long as somebody is manning it.
Never explodes.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = max32
Health = 225
Cost = 180 steel, 100 stuff, 4 components
Damage = Bullet - 13, Burst - Continuous, shot every 0.5 seconds
Size = 3 by 1 cells
Research prerequisites = Electricity
Project cost = 1000



Rocket complex

An older class of weapon that requires manual control and reload. Fortunately, with the help of decent optics and deadly weapon blast radius its presence is still dreaded on the front lines.
Explodes in a radius of 3 when destroyed.
Requires shells to reload.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = min3 max55
Health = 225
Cost = 180 steel, 100 stuff, 5 components
Damage = RocketDamage - 40, Explosive radius - 2.5
CoolDown = 8.3 seconds
Size = 3 by 1 cells
Research prerequisites = Gun Complex, Mortars
Project cost = 2000



Military grade turret

A more powerful variant of an automated turret. Longer dual barrels provide increased range, and greater burst.
Has higher chance to explode in a radius of 4.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = 28
Health = 200
Cost = 150 steel, 120 metal stuff, 4 components
Damage = BulletDamage - 11, Burst - 6
CoolDown = 7.3 seconds
Power = 390
Size = 1 by 1 cells
Research prerequisites = Gun Complex, Gun Turrets
Project cost = 2000



Shredder turret

Shredder turret is designed for close range. It doesn't explodes when destroyed thus making it a perfect choice for indoor defense, the only downside is that it takes more space than an ordinary variant.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = 20
Health = 240
Cost = 225 steel, 180 metal stuff, 5 components
Damage = BulletDamage - 21, Burst - 4
CoolDown = 5.3 seconds
Power = 420
Size = 2 by 2 cells
Research prerequisites = Military Turret
Project cost = 3000



Precision turret

A highly calibrated gun turret. Advanced optics allows it to deliver a single but precise shot at fairly long distances.
Explodes rarely in a radius of 2.5.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = 50
Health = 120
Cost = 225 steel, 180 metal stuff
Damage = BulletDamage - 42
CoolDown = 3 seconds
Power = 420
Size = 1 by 1 cells
Research prerequisites = Shredder Turret, Charged Shot
Project cost = 4000



Blast turret

Blast turret is designed for close range area damage, and it does so by launching a burst of 3 frag grenades.
Explodes in a radius of 4.5 when destroyed.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = min5 max20
Health = 200
Cost = 250 steel, 200 stuff, 6 components
Damage = grenade damage - 30, Burst - 3, explosive radius - 2, explosion delay - 50
CoolDown = 5.3 seconds
Size = 2 by 2 cells
Research prerequisites = Precision Turret
Project cost = 5000



Vulcan cannon

Fortified minigun tower that fires continuously, very durable but power hungry. Its tall and has long range, but due to that it can't aim under itself and can't be placed indoors.
Explodes in a radius of 5.1 when destroyed.

Stats:
Tech Level = Industrial
Range = min6 max36
Health = 500
Cost = 500 steel, 600 stone stuff, 15 component
Damage = BulletDamage - 6, Burst - Continuous, shot every 6 ticks (0.1 seconds)
Power = 1000
Size = 3 by 3 cells
Research prerequisites = Blast Turret, Multibarrel Weapons
Project cost = 6000



Devastator mortar

A magnetic catapult that launches plasma projectiles with greater velocity, accuracy, and much larger blast radius thanks to its burst of five shells.
Needs cell fabricator to create ammunition. Watch out for a huge EMP explosion in a radius of 10 when destroyed.

Stats:
Tech Level = Spacer
Range = min20 max500
Health = 360
Cost = 750 steel, 400 metal stuff, 20 component
Damage = ShellDamage - 30, Burst - 5, Explosive radius - 3.5
CoolDown = 60 seconds
Size = 2 by 2 cells
Research prerequisites = Mortars, Vulcan Cannon
Project cost = 7000
Ammo = Power cell



Cell fabricator

A very power hungry station designed for assembling devastator power cells.

Stats:
Health = 180
Cost = 100 plasteel, 100 gold, 10 component
Cell cost = 1 component
Power = 5000
Size = 1 by 1 cells



Mud moat < not a turret

A light perimeter defense to slow down your enemy.
Can be dug on diggable terrain, and could be removed with "remove floor" tool.

Stats:
Cost = none
Size = 1 by 1 cells (can be dragged)
PathCost = 40



Personal comment
Hey I am pretty new around these parts but its amazing to see how modding community is thriving here a specially for a game that isn't technically finished yet.
I am fairly new to RimWorld modding so don't be too harsh, I tried to understand what I could and so far that helped me to make those turrets here.
I tend to be on more artistic side of things, I tried to mimic RimWorld art style as much as I could plus the images were vectored which means it allows me for an easy edit if need be later down the line.
Sure yeah "yet another turret mod" but hey at least I learned a lot of stuff doing that
I take balancing very seriously so if you have any feedback it would be more than welcome, I don't want those turrets to feel like they are op as all hell, and want them to fit well within the game universe without you even thinking about the fact that you're using a mod.

Here is a little comparison shot, so you could have an idea what it would look like alongside with the existing improvised turret


And a creative example how it looks along with existing ingame assets plus what you can do
