Anyway we can get a vanilla+ version of this mod? WC has been rather laggy of late for some reason.

Hey nukeguard do you do comissions? Pay via Patreon?

Not unless I add a bunch of different colored ammo, as far as I know there's not another way.

Is there a way to modify the color of the plasma?

@Nukeguard. I'm playing on PC. Testing in a creative server of my own.

are you on a DS? there are syncing issues last I knew

@nukeguard, unfortunately I think it got worse. Part of the issue may be caused by when a player takes control of the gun. When I control it manually, then turn it off, it does not return to the home position before retracting the gun. The gun retracts first, then does not return home. Then I have another thing to point out. When placed, I can turn the gun on and it will extend no issue. I turn it off, no issue. The gun will retract and the mesh lines up however, and this is where it gets weird, the gun will continue to lower right out of the block and continue to do the lowering animation further and further down through the block until it's turned back on.

YES! You're amazing man. I'll go test it out.

The homing when turned off issue should be fixed now

I'll get to it soon, busy with work and little time in evenings

@Nukeguard, I know you're a busy person and have done some amazing things for the SE community, but any chance that this will be repaired?

well, code must have changed, they used to return home, and then retract

I'm in the same boat as Helldiver #1. The gun does not return to home position (straight forward) when retracted, leaving the closure panels open at an angle. Due to me being extremely OCD, I just can't use them.

Works just fine, dunno what they're talkin about.

However I have one complaint. Whenever I use them (as in, enable and fire) and then retract them, they aren't reset to their original position, which makes them look REALLY weird.

Besides that, works just fine.

Great Mod!

Unfortunately it doesn't work any more. I can't control the turret nor can I or the AI system shot this gun.

I really enjoyed it.

It stopped working since one of the last update, the plasma turrets aren't targeting or shooting anymore.

there is a collision box above the closed space to make the gun not phase

I am using it well. I restarted the game after a recent automaton upgrade. After powering off the block in the game, you cannot pass through the top of the block. It has a transparent collision box, so when you stand on top of a block, it appears to float in mid-air. This symptom appears to have occurred after an Automaton upgrade. Or what have I done wrong?

Is there a config file that allows for easy changing of power requirements? If not can I upload a version that is set to private for my server?

Any future plans for retractable weapons? Like cannons or such, this deployable weapon block is pretty amazing ngl

Yeah I've seen that as I put 2 other aiming strait up for this case now xD

It can't target straight up, it has limited elevation values

@Hotaro any mind sharing what mod it was for others? as It don't seems to shoot for me either...

Maybe it can't target strait up but well... Gonna test it later to see if there is something other that is strange (well... A missile turret targeted me through it's own grid making me need to do nothing to disable it but it's probably another problem that don't have anything to do here :p)

Cancel that. It was an error with another mod that caused this. They work fine once I removed the broken mod.

Does the small grid version still work for anyone? I can't get it to fire in any mode.

Really nice mod, spectacular graphics.
Impossible to play without !!!
I would like to see something similar 3 x 6 block version, triple cannon and more powerful!

This weapons is awesome for the small grid!

dga8705 you may need to turn on the override for firing. A lot of weapons have trouble with that these days.

Are any more weapons like this coming? I use it alot but what I really need is a fixed retractable gun with higher fire rate for a fighter, and some kind of missile launcher. Every one I can find is 2 blocks wide which makes it awkward for small fighters.

How i can miss this... Awesome weapon!

I have plenty of power on that ship. I was just testing it by controlling the turret and it wasn't showing me firing, but maybe I need to get it near an enemy. I'll mess with it more at some point.

they also have a minimum firing range, and do you have enough power

uses power only

Does this use an ammunition? Or is it just power and creates its own ammo? I can't seem to get it to fire so far.

@jangan22 I noticed that too, but then I realized that the weapon would have too much delay between popping out, aiming and firing.

I am using it well. I have a question. It is stored when the power is turned off, but not the turret when idle?

Thanks for the props :-)

Thanks man. Best energy weapon ever is working again

fixed small grid not damaging anything

more, wondering how it works, does it damage random block, targeted block? | also, i am not having any problems with this weapon, and it is likely the best energy weapon mod out there.

this one has slight shield penetration, in the description is one that does not penetrate shields

Ok further investigation: the Plasma Cannon small grid isn't doing any damage, while the large grid one still works. No matter Creative or Survival, it's a matter of size (as always :P).

For those saying that it's not targeting anything: check your mod list or try to go away from the target over 50-100 meters, this one worked for me (no matter if you go near again, auto target still works)

I can confirm it's not doing any damage in Survival mode, while in Creative still works.
It's a shame because it was the best energy weapon I found. Balanced damage and rate of fire, it retract if turned off and it has a long range.
If you can fix it that would be great.

Does this weapon always penetrate shields, or is it random, maybe a percent of the overall damage hits?

for some reason it isnt doing any damage

MORE RETRACTABLE WEAPONS!

you also need a target to fire manually if you don't have Override set to On

@Maverick You might be encountering a similiar bug I had.

First thing you should do is check your load order and make sure Weaponcore is loaded before any mod that uses it as a dependency. I usually stick it at the top so it loads up first.

If that doesn't fix your problem, the other issue is it could be a glitch with your world. If that's the case, create a new world and copy paste your stuff over to it after you've tested some turrets and confirm they work.

I haven't tested automatically against projectiles but it will not fire even when attempted manually with the "shoot" button in the control panel.

wont shoot enemy only defends now against projectiles
