Huzzah!

This mod has now been made compatible with my Chaingun Corners and Crossings mod :)

it doenst connect to mags

i have a bug that mags dont connect

I tested it again, still doesn't seem to connect, even after trying EVERY spot around the gun with magazines, mine's probably just absolutely fucked, oh well.

@Pan It works, but it won't show that it connects. Sorry for my bad development practices.

Is the magazines bugged for this chain gun? it doesn't seem to connect to the gun at all.

@K I've managed to do it before, with my other mod General Munitions. It crashed a bunch though, but I persisted. The Roof Cannon was one of the things I was able to get overheat working for.

That's too bad. I tried to do it myself but I just don't understand the file structure enough to know why it is crashing.

Lol JK. I might but I don't really have the time to do these anymore.

No

Would be great to see overclock option at some point

Oh dear.

I tested again, it is now working, it just does not show an indication that it is connected while in build mode

It seems to work on my end, though?
What do you mean by "unfortunately bugged"?
Please test again for me and tell me what is going on.

will the magazine bug be fixed in the next update?

Yea the magazines are unfortunately bugged and don't work.

nice

Heat update!!!

But they worked with it for me before? That's weird. Something must have broke.

I'll wait for the Heat Update though. That one breaks a lot more.

I cant use the chaingun magazine with this one. Without magazines the chainguns are loosing a lot of offensive capabilties.

Probably not, too lazy

I might have to do heat compat for this tho

anyway you would make a higher cost no collider version like some of starwars turrets?
like needing more tristeel and hyper coils?

Cool!

I've seen you in ever game i've played, you have rimworld, PPG, and now this.

@Kot-sornyak

Whaddya mean?!

HEY WAIT, YOU AGAIN, I'VE MET YOU IN EVERY SINGLE GAME I PLAY

That's only if that mod has compatibility with this mod, which I don't know - I haven't tried it.
I suggest you just try and see yourself.

If it doesn't work, you could maybe notify the mod author or simply make a version of this mod with the high collider removed.

Currently I don't think there's a way to provide global compatibility for every mod ever released considering that there's no C++ coding in Cosmoteer modding yet, so it may be possible that No More Deck Gun Collide would only affect the vanilla deck gun and nothing else..

You said that it also has a "high" turret collider like the Deck Cannon.
Would that feature cancelled if I enable the No More Deck Gun Collide (I forgot the real name) mod?

For some reason it doesnt work with the unlimited ammo mod, guess something must be different with roof vs vanilla chaingun

Fixed the research thing.

@Sullis Oh nope, whoops. An oversight on my part.

Is it supposed to be researchable without having standard chain gun unlocked first? It is for me.

@Bonible

Interesting damage system...

maw with.... Yeah I can see how that could work, would take up a lot of space though.

Alright, cool.

@radar_zone

Normal vanilla cannons do not have damage resistance but are quite tanky anyway, and since their outside is considered "Structure", they take less explosive damage.

The roof-mounted chaingun has zero damage resistance capability at the same health as the original.

If you look at the Cosmoteer discord, there are ships that have really good chaingun placement; I don't know how to describe it but it's like a maw with sideways chainguns that shoot from a shield reinforced "barrel".

Walt (Cosmoteer dev) deems corner chaingun belts too uninteresting apparently.

The extra steel cost reflects the additional space taken up by room squares, while the lessened tristeel cost is for the shield - that's what I think it's made of.

I'm a fairly new player here, so I'm asking for a comparison to damage resistance.
Do the normal vanilla cannons (excluding the deck cannon) have damage resistance? Or are they as soft as crew quarters and storage bays?
I think this is a pretty cool mod, if I didn't have this i probably wouldn't bother with the chaingun since getting any reasonable firing time takes a lot of crew, a lot of ammo and a giant flat spot in your armour for not a whole lot of damage output.
Now all we need is a belt corners mod that allows you to wrap the belts around ammo storage.





Also bit of a nit picky balance change but according to the deck cannon the deck mounted versions of weapons tend to consume /more/ tri-steel than their frontal counterparts, while armour seems to be made of steel. Meaning removing the armour and deck mounting a chaingun would in theory use less steel.

How about Roof mounted Armor?

can you add roof mounted crew quarters please?

@boo7716 - Roof mounted hyperdrives.

They made roof mounted cannons, roof mounted lasers, roof mounted thrusters. Now you made roof mounted chaingun. What's next?

This is quite a good mod, got a mod that adds an 80 round mag and this helps me spam tons of projectiles from the safety of behind armor

@SHD2 I don't know what you mean?
You could go to the Cosmoteer discord server and ask around #modding, I'm there and so are a bunch of other modders.

i would like to make your mod compatible with mine but i got no idea how to modify values from a mod with the actions could you help please ? :)

@wolfpack-ultr4 Goodness. I think I will stick to making what I want to for now though.

@bonible ah sorry. its from the GA mod. they got a gauss cannon, similar to the heavy cannon, or chaingun. maybe you could get in touch with their devs, and make a turreted version?

most yes

@wolfpack-ultr4

What is gauß?

thats awesome. can you do the same with gauß? i hate sticking the guns out past my armor. i love this. opens up a lot of possibilities

@Industrial_Idiot It was always useful, you just have to build smart :3

Holly now the chain gun is useful now!
