Modular Turrets

by wodzu93

Adds 8 (15 counting variations) new turrets for dealing with alien menace, as well as other military-related items. Good compliment to mods that add new biter types, like Rampant or Natural Evolution.

g REQUEST: Mod setting

11 months ago
(updated 11 months ago)

Would it be possible to add a mod settings that unlocks a "360° firing technology/upgrade/version" of the Gatling/HMG/other backline turrets ?
Those turrets could cost a lot, take long time to produce - anything to justify the feature :)

Why:
1-the range vs defense depth - is too low
2-biters rush into breaches so fast that there isn't always the time to react
3-biters flank too well

1: Putting enough guns to cover the (not even all)possible directions + backup vanilla turrets makes a defense line so deep that front turrets always get destroyed/damaged (not speaking about walls, that just evaporate)

2: If wall (not fort): once breached or weakened - all the "non 360" turrets become useless

3: bitters manage to target weaker dps spots of forts (weakspot-less forts grow giant and resource hungry) and further weaken them. Walls & line forts suffer even worse.

After many hours of use - ended building vanilla turrets forts back due to smaller turret size and 360 firing = more flexibility, simplicity and fire density

Also, was asked to submod/patch Modular turrets for 360° fire. Prefered to ask your opinion on all this.

Main mods: K2, Rempant fixed with highly modified settings (30% slower biters with greatly higher hp. The hps do evolve less through aggro stage).

Also: didn't mention it, but your Modular Turrets are greatly appreciated. That's why this message came to existence :)

Thanks for your attention!

Not going to implement it - works as designed, exploitable weaknesses like that are part of balancing. Turrets were also balanced with vanilla biter stats in mind, so I'm not suprised that making them way more tanky breaks turret effectiveness. However, feel free to make a submod with the desired changes!

Got it! Thanks for the reply!
