I have a couple users for my mod asking me if I could see about making our mods more compatible.

After some investigation, I noticed your mod creates all of its turrets in the data-final-fixes stage.
Would it be possible to have your mod make all of its initial turrets in an earlier stage, then update final combat values in data-final-fixes?
(My mod also "boosts" turrets, and does things that way)

I made a fork of your repo to try doing this, and the tests I did looked promising -- turrets were still ranking up just fine.

I can make a pull request to a branch of yours if you like.
If there's tests you'd like me to run before doing so, I can do that too.

Well hell, This mod is very old now but considering you have put in the effort very much I will try look at in the weekend.
Biggest fear is doing this would break compat with other mods.

there are some other minor changes i need to re-wrap my head around before hand. It may be safer to check if your mod exists do this otherwise do that.

Thanks so much for taking a look! Your mod might be old but a lot of people still love it

Working on now, had to update many things, different version + some other changes were in process in the back ground.
Doing some basic testing now. Will be a start up setting.

Well that sucked first test failed no turrets at all

sorted

Thank you so much!
