I look forward to burning my problems, thank you very much this is going to be fun >

Is anyone working on making this mod? If no I would like to try to make this. I believe I can handle it

I fully agree with the idea. It would make looking for and getting a specific type of mod group people may want easy. I personally this type of thing for Minecraft and Garrys mod.

My only real concern is who would put such a thing together and make sure that each mod works properly with one another? If changes needed to be made to a mod who would do it, the created of the mod or the person (people?) compiling the mod pack? Also the issue of credit comes into play for some people. In the case of Garrys mod credit is lost very quickly but that is also due to the shear number of mods available.

I know I am not really a big deal or anything on this forum but these are what comes to mind for me. I am not really asking these questions specifically either, its just food for thought, and like I said I do like the idea

your acceleration cannon idea gave me tingles, consider it on my to do list. I an thinking custom projectile and sounds for that one too. As for the energy turret I am happy to hear you suggest that as it is also one of the things I have planned for the next release.

Really my only concern is that I don't want to add too many turrets to the game and I want to try to keep them as balanced as possible. As I said before though, that is where you guys come in as i tend to get a little carried away

Thank you very much for the idea and your opinion, it is valued greatly,

Turret Package

Description:
The main goal of this mod is to add more powerful turrets to the later part of the game so that you can fight off the ever growing raider parties that are determined to destroy your colony. This mod adds five new turrets to RimWorld along with six new research topics. There are three new textures added to the turrets and two new projectile textures. The turrets range in size, from 2x2 to 1x1 depending on what I figured seemed appropriate.

Features:

• Improved Turret (An improved version of the improvised turret)
• Incendiary Turret (An R-4 rifle fitted to the turret capable of firing a burst of 4 incendiary rounds)
• Sniper Turret (A sniper rifle fitted to the turret capable of firing accurate shots over long distances)
• Grenade Turret (A turret made specifically to fire grenades over short distances)
• Heavy Turret (A heavily armored, fast firing beast of a turret meant to deal with multiple enemy at a time)
• Energy Turret (All the benefits of the heavy turret plus extra damage done by the energy projectiles)

Special Thanks
A special thank you to ItchyFlea for allowing me to integrate his energy turret into this mod.
His profile page can be found here http://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?action=profile;u=959

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:
This mod works as soon as it is installed, nothing to difficult. To use the Improved Turret you must first research 'Armour Plating' and 'Electrical Systems' then research 'Improved Turret'. Once that is done you can then build Improved Turrets, Sniper Turrets and Grenade Turrets.

After those have been researched you can research either 'Incendiary Rounds' to allow the incendiary turret to be build or 'Weapon Systems' to build the heavy turret. Once the Heavy Turret has been researched you will be able to research 'Energy Weapons' and this will allow you to use the Energy Turret.

Notes:
The textures are a work in progress. I am an engineering student and not an art student unfortunately, but that has not stopped me trying my best.

This is a list of attributes of each new turret in more detail for those of you who are interested
