An overhauled, feature-rich, and modernized version of the classic Orbital Ion Cannon mod rebuilt specifically for Factorio 2.0 + Space Age.
When you need to call down the thunder to deal with those pesky biters, launch a rocket with an ion cannon into orbit and show the bugs who's boss.
Key Features
- Fully Standalone: Complete decoupling from
KuxCoreLibandKuxGuiLibwith custom inline events and vanilla Factorio GUI controls. - Platform Power Charging: Draw power dynamically from space platform electrical grids to charge the ion cannon's primary buffer.
- Orbital Capacitor Banks: Place
oic-capacitor-bankentities on platforms to increase energy buffers (+300 MJ) and scale charging limits. - Progressive Explosion Effects: Blasts scale continuously based on energy discharge:
- Laser/Explosion Damage: Up to 15x base damage multiplier.
- Firestorm (Buffer >= 30%): Sparking wildfires sweeping across the blast zone.
- Chain Lightning (Buffer >= 60%): Searing lightning arcs jumping across surviving biters.
- EMP Silence (Buffer >= 90%): Permanently silences hit spawners and turrets for a full 60 seconds.
- Mushroom Cloud (Buffer = 100%): Massive nuclear detonation visuals upon impact.
- Orbit Reorientation: Automatic platform location tracking ensures your ion cannons follow your space platform to new planets instead of remaining locked in the home planet's orbit.
- Smarter Auto-Targeting: Sector-based 3-chunk scans prioritizing high-density threat spawners and worms with spatial deduplication.
- Extreme UPS Optimization: The mod has been aggressively optimized to run on mega-bases. Massive map-scanning operations during explosions are pre-cached, and the auto-targeter utilizes lazy-evaluation with zero-latency idle execution.
