Changelogs
Version 1.0
Cryo and Flamer turrets changed to custom projectiles, which should hopefully lead to an increase in effectiveness (unfortunately, I can't fix AI stupidity).
Bumped double-barrel shotgun range up a tiiiiny bit to bring it in-line with the new flamer and cryo ranges.
Reorganized the order the turrets appear in the build menu to hopefully make it easier to navigate. The new order is: pipe, shotgun/LMG/sniper, cannon, minigun/gatling/chaingun, cryo/flamer, grenade launcher/gamma gun, laser, heavy laser, assault laser, plasma, assault plasma, gauss/railway, heavy assault laser/cryobeam.
Bubble turrets! Get your bubble turrets here! Added bubble versions of the following turrets: Minigun, Gatling, LMG, Sniper, Cryo, Flamer, Laser, Heavy Laser, Assault Laser, Heavy Assault Laser, Plasma, Assault Plasma, Gauss, Cryobeam.
Bubble turrets require wireless power transmission (with zero drain due to game limitations), the same crafting materials as their standard variants, PLUS some additional materials to simulate an internal power source. These additional materials are the same as a medium generator and are as follows: 1 ceramic, 3 copper, 3 gears, 3 rubber, 7 steel, 3 screws. Twice that for the heavy assault laser.
Version 0.5
As of 0.5, perk requirements have been made OPTIONAL. Considering the material requirements for some of these, you're already limited enough by that. If you would like to keep the perk requirements, there is a "Hard Mode" patch in the files section that will restore them.
Introducing intermediate-grade turrets. Much easier to craft than their high-tech counterparts, these can still be effective in their roles. They are a little more fragile, but are easier to repair as well. All variants require 2 power and provide 8 defense. These include:
Double-Barrel Shotgun Turret - Very effective at close range. Very high damage with a slow rate of fire. Will not pointlessly try to snipe like the vanilla shotgun turret.
Light Machine Gun Turret - Sprays 5.56mm death at the enemy. Not the best accuracy, but still does its job.
Sniper Turret - High accuracy with a low rate of fire, it will generally hit what it aims at.
Introducing low-grade AKA junk turrets. Extremely easy to craft and maintain using fairly common materials. Even more fragile than intermediate-grade, they can still get the job done. All variants provide 4 defense and require wireless power transmission, identical to how lights function. This means that you will need to provide power to the area around your turrets, but you will not need to run individual wires to each turret and they will not negatively affect your power system. These include:
Pipe Pistol Turret - The bottom of the barrel. It's weak, it's inaccurate, it's the pipe pistol! This will probably make a radroach think twice, if radroaches are capable of such things.
Pipe Rifle Turret - Increase the barrel length a bit and you get the pipe right! More accurate than the pistol.
Pipe "Sniper" Turret - But wait, there's more! Using a little copper, you can throw together a "sniper" barrel. The power is nothing to write home about, but it can usually put rounds on target.
Pipe SMG Turret - Alternatively, you could use some adhesive instead and go the opposite direction. Put out more bullets and maybe one will connect?
Version 0.4
Significantly increased accuracy of Railway, Gauss, and Assault turrets.
Moderately increased accuracy of Minigun, Cannon and Gamma turrets.
Slightly increased accuracy of Cryobeam and Heavy Assault Laser turrets.
Added Gatling Turret - basically a .50 version of the minigun with higher damage and slower firing rate. Requires Gun Nut 4 & Heavy Gunner 1.
Added Chaingun Turret - Fires high-explosive rounds, making it a good choice against clusters of weaker enemies. Requires Gun Nut 4 & Heavy Gunner 2. Uses extra oil for crafting due to lack of an existing comparable round.
Added Automatic Grenade Launchers. Good for area-suppression and comes in several varieties. Perk and crafting requirements vary by type (see mod description for full list).
Added standard and blue plasma turrets, functioning similar to the Gatling Turret.
Added versions of the minigun and gatling turrets using the vanilla MG model.
Increased range of both cannon turrets from 15000 to 25000. This needs testing because the AI is unreliable at the best of times, so I'm not sure if this makes any difference.
Version 0.3
Added cryobeam turret. As the name suggests, it fires a cryo beam that has a chance to freeze and/or knock enemies down on impact. It deals low damage compared to other turrets but the small splash radius makes it great for crowd-control. Based on a suggestion from chuckdm.
Fixed crit effect on cryo turret
All turrets now have descriptions on the build menu
Fixed firing sounds for cannon and cryo turrets. Cannon emplacements get an extra special sound that I hope everyone will enjoy.
Doubled the firing speed for the minigun turret and boosted damage by 2. They should be a bit more effective now.
Doubled turret HP (except for the blue versions of the vanilla laser turrets) from 100 to 200.
Slightly increased damage of railway turret due to accuracy issues (still trying to figure out how accuracy works in F4)
Cryo turret perk requirements changed to SCIENCE! 3 and nothing else.
Version 0.2
Added blue (Institute) versions of vanilla Laser and Heavy Laser turrets. Stats and materials are identical to their vanilla versions.
Added assault laser turrets in the red and blue variety. These have a single, slow-firing beam similar to the gauss turret. Requires SCIENCE! 4
Added assault plasma turret identical to the assault laser turrets, except shooting glorious plasma projectiles at high velocity. Also includes a blue version using the alien blaster projectile model. Requires SCIENCE! 4.
Added heavy assault laser turret AKA Liberty Prime laser. Firing even slower than the standard assault laser, it deals high damage and has a minor splash effect. Requires SCIENCE! 4, Nuclear Physicist 1, and increased amount of materials to build, including 2 fusion cores.
Normalized base damage between flamer and cryo turrets. Cryo will still do more crit damage.
