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)

Mod Team:
  • Kilroy232

Special Thanks
A special thank you to ItchyFlea for allowing me to integrate his energy turret into this mod.

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.

Maybe you could create a more endgame Energy turret modelled after the R-4, and then right at the end of the tech tree a mass acceleration cannon thats 3x3 and does massive damage AoE damage, but has a very long reload.

'Needs moar boosters!'

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 :P

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

Any way to make turrets feed off of a hopper like the Nutrient Paste machine?

They already sell rockets and shells...

Kingoftime

Hey! i love the turrets! good job!

NorseGod

Looks great but I'm running into a small problem - none of the advanced turrets will actually attack enemies. They just sit there getting fired upon until blowing up.

Kilroy232

Really? do you happen to have them sitting behind something? At one point during the testing I had them sitting behind a barricade (another mod I am working on) I was testing making and they would not shoot over them despite the fact the barricade was set to the same height as the sandbags

Kilroy232

New Update out for this mod if anyone is interested! :D

Thaldon

Very Interested.  midgame raiders are wiping me out unless I use the laser turrets which seems overkill.

Unable to download it though :(

That's strange. Are you getting an error? or is it simply not downloading?

EDIT: scratch that, I know what the problem is just gotta figure out how to fix it. For now you can download it by going to the bottom if the main post and clicking the attached .rar file to download

Sorry for the trouble

Hey Kilroy, why'd you take away the grenade turret? :)
