g Have you abandoned your plans for Military train wagon with cannon turrets and machine guns yet?

2 years ago

Good afternoon! You wrote that you want to make a Military train wagon with cannon turrets and machine guns, and you mentioned the mod https://mods.factorio.com/mod/Armored-train

The Armored-train is no longer maintained and is essentially dead, as its trains cannot be loaded with ammo.

The author of the mod has blocked discussions and it is not possible to contact him.

Have you abandoned your plans for Military train wagon with cannon turrets and machine guns yet?

Thanks

This is an old comment. Back then the armored train was completely buggy...

Many bugs have been fixed now, but it still doesn't look very good.

I once worked on the animation of a machine gun turret based on an artillery wagon. https://mods.factorio.com/mod/My_add_pack version 0.0.0

But I couldn't bring it to perfection. ... It looked cool...

Here are the pictures:

If this concept were implemented according to the "Armored Train" principle, it would be even cooler than it is now!!!

By the way, here is an example of a close implementation:

I can also remove the shells from the artillery wagon.: https://assets-mod.factorio.com/assets/4885edc94eec51f1c23d37ed7ce25528d21fb4a4.png

Of course, this will take time. But for the sake of the cause, I am ready to sacrifice it...

Very interesting thank you for sharing this. I tried to start from the artillery wagon myself too a long time ago :) I'll take a look if I can brew something.
