I also really like it. But you need to balance it.

It was balanced, I spent a lot of time to it.
Needs it be more or less powerful?

Thank you so much, I was looking for a mod like this and you have answered my prayers! THANK YOU!

as for balancing, you can do that your self by editing the configs, I do it all the time in any mod I download, because balancing to everyone means something different.

Edit: Also I found a small problem, Unknown key "entity-name-cannon-alpha"

Thanks, here's no localization at all.

About the balance. I think it's worth making the default gun somewhat weaker. But add technology to research more expensive and more powerful tiers of Cannons.

I think 50% DPM of gun-turret to first biters will be nice balanced. First tier of cannon needs damage not less than 15 hp, so it can kill one biter with only one shoot.

I have created a lot of small biters and two turrets with standard (yellow) ammo:

Gun turret: 477 kills / 9550 damage,
Cannon Alpha: 272 kills / 4216 damage.

Same, but piersing rounds (red ammo):
Gun turret: 559 kills / 8973 damage,
Cannon Alpha: 190 kills / 4712 damage.

So, one standard turret has ~2 times more efficient.

Red ammo, medium biters (it needs a lot of time!):

Gun turret: 581 kills / 47616 damage,
Cannon Alpha: 482 kills / 43955 damage.

Green (nuclear) bullets, big biters:
Gun turret: 40 kills / 15610 damage,
Cannon Alpha: 26 kills / 10757 damage.

Here the standard turret has the fast same damage deal.

It was by continuously shooting. The starting and folding by Cannon Alpha needs normally a lot of time.

Now I see, you are absolutely right. great job. Thank you!

The problem with the normal turret tho is it doesn't have the range to shoot at spitters, so this cannon is what fills that gap and that is what I needed the most at lest till you can get Laser Turrets.
