Battle Cannons and Turrets

This is a fork of Riders mod. This mod is kept up to date. This mod is compatible with the latest version of SE. This mod does not use or rely on any scripts. This mod likely functions with your shield mods. This mod provides destruction, disorder, and chaos. My favorite.

WeaponCore is absolutely terrified of these guns, so much so that it will try to remove them from your game. If you want to terrorize WeaponCore, you will have to put it in Unsupported Mode by following the directions that appear on screen when you load in. These guns will function as intended, but they will have no WeaponCore related features.

I will maintain this mod as a backup only. Tweaks will not be made. Nothing will change unless it's to keep the guns firing.

This mod maintains the original weapon values of Riders mod circa 2017 including damage* and accuracy. These are the differences between this mod and Riders mod:

• The code of this mod has been overhauled to conform to the standards of the current base game.
  
• The accuracy on the Little David and Big Bertha are back to normal, with a deviation of 0.1 instead of 0.5
  
• The 300mm and 900mm guns still have AP ammo available. This ammo was removed by Rider because of a reloading issue after having one type of ammo in a gun, and then switching to the other type of ammo.
  
• All missile weapons missile velocities reduced to 400m/s to reduce the chance of a projectile "skipping" through the first layer of blocks upon impact.
  
• Big Bertha ammo volume decreased to allow the gun to be loaded in survival mode.
  
• The damage values and accuracy (1+km for LD, BB) of these weapons may be considered "extremely f*cking overpowered"**

*Little David and Big Bertha damage has been increased because projectile velocity had to be reduced.
**Acceptable.

The following are known shortcomings:

1. Small ship missile turrets cannot be autonomously loaded
   
   • Explanation: They can't be auto-loaded because they use small conveyors and missiles use only large conveyors. Missile ammunition in this case is a definition borrowed from the base game; there's no way to make it move through small ship small conveyors. If you have to use this mods small ship missile launchers, load them manually. This applies only to small ship missile turrets in survival mode.
2. 300mm and 900mm guns won't load ammo.
   
   • Explanation: There are 2 types of ammo: HE and AP. If a gun won't load, it's 99% because you've loaded one type of ammunition, and now you're trying to load the other type. Rider removed AP ammo from the original mod because this is an unsolvable KEEN bug; there's nothing to be done. The other 1% = bug elsewhere.

In August 2017, a major game update broke features in Riders original mod. I posted this in the comments: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3008604461
There was no response.

In September 2017, I uploaded this mod and posted the following in the description:

I do not like reposting a mod, but I explained exactly how to fix these guns in the comment section of the original mod and nothing has been updated.

In February 2018 Rider returned and updated his mod. In response, I posted a thank you in his mods comment section and posted this here:

DrNiggle lähetti viestin:

Thank you everyone for your comments and favorites. I hope that your actions played some small part in encouraging Rider to return and fix the original mod, because this is probably the best weapons mod out there and it deserves to keep working.

Since 2018, Riders mod has experienced difficulties as the base game has been updated. I will continue to maintain this iteration as tribute, but it is and should always be considered a backup.

I encourage everyone to use Riders original mod, if able, found here: http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=543635673
