(A16) Tranq Turrets (updated 1/9/17)

[Canute]

You don't want them stunned, you want them downed.
Thats a bit different in the game.
Stunned is when they can't move or attack, like an EMP on mechanoids.

[MineFoxC]

yes,but when you have them stunned,you can easily down them.

You can hardly move into a horde of 30 tribals charging your defense to down a stunned pawn. I like the current implementation, although I have to use a mix of normal and tranq. turrets because they have less range and don't do burst shots.

edit: So, I just upped the range of the vanilla and the tranq turret a bit (tranq still has a bit less range) and gave the tranq turret a 2-shot burst. Prolly a bit unbalanced compared to the standard variant, but I really need more good colonists. Last raid 6 of 30 tribals were downed, using 6x tranq turret, 4x vanilla turret, 4 sniper rifles and a minigun in a killbox.

6 out of 30 sounds about right for that setting,  the minigun and snipers are what are keeping you from getting more prisoners, also if you have the turrets bunched up all 6 might be shooting at the same target and that can kill pawns, burst fire shouldn't be necessary because the turrets have about the same number of shots/minute as the stock ones, unless i messed up on the math or packed the wrong XML

Yea, my killbox pretty much hordes the raiders together. Already had a prison break (the hold fire option is neat), all three guys have been incapacitated. Yesterday a bezerk rage from a prisoner (got no meal, cause my guys were fighting a psychic ship) got subdued with a tranq turret, no wounded. Thanks for making them reinstallable.

I didn't check the xml, it just felt right to give them an extra shot. The fire rates did not appear to be equal (single shot feels lame compared to 3-shot burst ^^).

A few questions to ask~

1) Does this mod work on saved games?
2) Does it work with existing turret mods? (I'm currently already using More Vanilla Turrets mod)
3) Lastly, is it possible to upload this mod to the Steam workshop? I'm currently playing Rimworld on Steam and would love to give this a try.

Been looking really hard for a way to incapacitate raiders without killing them. It gets real frustrating when a raider shows up with awesome stats but I always end up killing them or completely shooting something vital off....

I would LOVE to see tougher mechanoids. Bring em on.

1: its pure XML so it should work just fine on saved games
2: yes, it works with other mods (i tested it with More Vanilla Turrets)
3: i don't have Rim World on steam so i can't upload it there, but you should be able to use the mod from here, open steam and right click on the game>properties>browse local files>the folder named "mod" (or mods) then unzip the zip in there so you only have one folder level, if you end up with a folder named tranq turrets inside a folder named the same you unzipped it wrong, just copy the "deepest" folder back up to the mods folder so you have mods/Tranq Turrets/defs,textures,about


seeing as how this mod is getting a lot more notice then i ever expected il be adding in some new stuff soon that should make things a bit more interesting

I would LOVE to see tougher mechanoids. Bring em on.

ok,  fun fact: mechanoids now are kinda like how my A12 mod beefed them up, no where near as armored but somewhat close in HP, however you can still kill mechanoids in Vanilla with sniper rifles, mine back then would have laughed at you if you tried it
i might even try to add in a new mechanoid or 2
