I've tried this and I'm disappointed: This cannon can't stand a single biter.

It was pretty good balanced for version 0.15.
If you can say me better balance parameters for 0.17-0.18, say me about it.

I'm playing 0.17 with space exploration mod, but I don't know anything about modding this game, so I can't give you suitable data. But I've build 1 cannon and have decoyed only 1 biter and the turret didn't survive that.

It was about twice slower than the normal turret, less effective by short distances, but much effektiver by long distances than standard ammo turret.

...maybe. But I have the impression that biters/spitters in space exploration are much more aggressive (??) and I need only weapons that kill them reliably. Nevertheless: Happy gaming !

I can add extra balance for specified mods, but nor for all of them.
Please write me the list of mods / attach the "empty" save game file for mod sync.
