Transport raw ore by sending it flying through the air! This mod adds artillery "delivery turrets" that send special artillery shells filled with ore. Use the targeting UI to select from all "delivery targets" within range, and watch the shells fly!

After researching the Artillery Delivery technology, you can:
- Build and place new "artillery delivery turrets" (the red artillery turret on the Logistics tab)
- Build and place "artillery delivery targets" (currently looks like a small-lamp on the Logistics tab)
- Craft delivery shells for 50 ore each (iron ore, copper ore, etc.)
- Click on turrets to select an "artillery delivery target" with in range.
- Turrets will automatically shoot all shells towards their target.

Shells exploded on target with a full stack (50) of ore! Be prepared to collect their contents, e.g. with an array of belts surrounding the target.

Artillery shells are currently "free" (i.e. just cost 50 ore each to produce) and cause no damage on impact, but I will probably change that in future releases -- or at least add it as an option.

Any item can now be sent via artillery by including it in the "supported-items.lua" file.

Leave comments if you have suggestions or requests! Thanks to jelmergu for contributing!
