[A17] More Vanilla Turrets (v1.8.5 29/5/2017)

[Rodrigogogo]

I grown accustomed to the vulcan, the sniper turrets and (mostly) the devastator ... can't play without them, i feel so weak without the turrets of this mod !

[DarkTemplarlord]

This needed to alpha 12

[Kairo]

Hi there, it is compatible with A12 ... no big errors seen so far 

[mo0504]

Yep i agree, its compatible, i use them in A12 as well

[Topper]

Is the rat launcher coming back? Its like the keystone of the mod..and now can launch unwated pets maybe ?

[Andy_Dandy]

Pleased to see it work for A12, but please increase the research costs. Please, please, please!

[HalfmoonSmile]

You may easily modifiy the research costs for your personal game. Look at the mod, then: defs>researchprojectdefs, and then simply adjust the field "totalCost" of the file inside.

I've attached a modified version of the research defs which almost doubles the costs for this mod's additions; just dump it into the researchprojectdefs folder for this mod and overwrite.

I've just started playing the game myself, thought I'd try out some mods after a few colonies, and I really like this one! Only...it seems like colonists have virtually no protection when manning a complex - I'm guessing because the code is cribbed from the standard mortars.

Is it possible to add: A) some from of cover rating when they're on the complex, and B) prevent colonists disengaging from the complex the moment they're shot?

[FMJ Penguin]

As far as I'm aware, you get cover from 2 squares away when using sandbags. At least I think that's how they used to work so double deep sandbags was the way to go. If that's still true then you should be able to sandbag around said turret and gain some defense at least. May have changed though sense that was many alphas ago.

[Degraine]

Well it seems like it changed. I replicated the setup in the OP with the vulcan and two complexes next to it, just to try it out. The operator got peppered with bullets from centipede miniguns and didn't fare any better with pirates, either.

[FMJ Penguin]

Yeah I could be very wrong about the whole thing. Not even sure if pawns that are using a device are even considered there own entity anymore. Could just be seen as part of that device while using it and world objects may not even gain "cover" from defenses. Kinda curious about it now though    Damn you! I was happy in my ignorance... now I'll be wondering if sandbags are even helping my turrets at all. They seemed to but I couldn't say for sure one way or another.

[Iwillbenicetou]

What I would do is use walls and sandbags. Even embrasures if you want. Go to Mech Defense. Best type of them

Can I suggest adding a lazer turret? It would be fitting for Rimworld.

Shoots more rapid but weaker firepower.
