With the new 'Stuff' system for Walls and things, I had the thought of why not incorporate it into make Modular Turrets that you 'Build' using the already existing guns in the game.

Maybe make them a Research option (like Mortars) and once researched, select the Turret, choose the gun you want to have it shoot, and poof, autonomous M-16 or R4 or Minigun. Possibly have some nested research under that for Modular Firing Speed, Accuracy, Health, Resistances? Iunno, it's an idea.

Personally I'd like to see this done with the existing improvised turret system. Instead of automatically equipping it with an LMG make it so you have to provide the turret with a gun. So you could even have T-9 turrets if you really wanted, or pistol if your desperate.

Well it is am "Improvised" turret after all. If you can make these turret guns out of thin air then why aren't you arming your colonists with them?

This is true, I know there is a mod out there somewhere that does this. But it would be excellent in the vanilla game :P.

its Haplos Miscellaneous mod that has this.
