Orbital Ion Cannon (Space Exploration Edition)

by qwuin_

Fork of Kux-OrbitalIonCannon with full Space Exploration 0.7 compatibility. Launch ion cannons via vanilla rocket silos or SE cargo rockets. Cannons are tracked per-planet — fire from orbit of the planet you're on. Supports SE zones (planets, moons, orbits) and Space Age platforms. Based on Supercheese's Orbital Ion Cannon and kuxynator's Factorio 2.0 port.

Orbital Ion Cannon — Space Exploration Edition

Call down the thunder on those pesky biters from orbit. This is a fork of Kux-OrbitalIonCannon with full Space Exploration 0.7 support.

What's different from Kux-OrbitalIonCannon?

  • SE cargo rocket support — launch ion cannons via SE launch pads, not just vanilla rocket silos
  • Zone-aware targeting — cannons are assigned to the destination planet/moon, firing from orbit works correctly regardless of whether you're on the surface or in orbit
  • Per-surface GUI — the cannon count and cooldown display shows only cannons orbiting your current planet, not all cannons across all surfaces
  • Surface name migration — existing saves with cannons will automatically resolve surface names when SE is active

How to use

  1. Research Orbital Ion Cannon technology
  2. Build an ion cannon item
  3. Launch it in a rocket silo or SE cargo rocket to a planet
  4. Use the ion cannon targeter to rain fire from above

Works with and without Space Exploration — if SE is not installed, it behaves like the original mod.

Dependencies

  • Kux-CoreLib >= 3.17.7
  • Kux-GuiLib >= 3.0.9
  • Space Exploration (optional)
