g Standalone Mode (No Space Age) Question

4 months ago
(updated 4 months ago)

So I noticed in the information section you stated that it will be a very long time before you do a "Standalone Mode". Is there a reason that it will take you a long time to make this turret optional for Space Age? I would assume it shouldn't be too hard to make it, even though I have no modding experience with Factorio or LUA, I have my fair share in many other games.

This is because I would love to use this turret with the official Krastorio 2, but that is incompatible with Space Age.

I am not working on this mod anymore, as life has gotten pretty busy. So don't expect new updates anytime soon.

That said, the dependecy only exists because I used the rocket turret prototype to create my capsule launcher turret. It was always intended as a "placeholder" and the dependency was meant to be removed as soon as I created my own design. However, after many attemps, I was never able to create anything that looked even remotely good.

If you really want to use this turret without Space Age, you’re welcome to create your own design for the turret. I’d be happy to add it to the mod. Alternatively, feel free to create your own fork and change the base turret yourself. I don't want to change the base turret in my mod, because that would mean changing its size, thus breaking people's saves. I'd be happy to assist if you need me to provide some guidance as to how to navigate my code.

Ah, so it relies on the rocket prototype. Well I don't have any skills in designing, so creating a custom type of turret is out of the question for me too. Thanks for answering it so fast, but I think i'll have a look at another mod called "Rampant Arsenal" and see how their Capsule Turret works.
