APS won't accept shell

[jebediahbob]

My APS keeps giving me the notification "shell is too long can't be accepted". The contoller says the shell length is 1600mm and I have 2m shell racks. What am I doing wrong?

Make sure your gauge slider is at the proper diameter. It happens a lot to me, so that's the first place to check.

[jebediahbob]

Is the barrel guage the same as the diameter?

[jebediahbob]

It still won't accept

shell builder thing is to big. 2m long only accepts 2 piece shells

[jebediahbob]

Yeah but my shell loader that is 4m long tells me it only requires a 2m shell and the shell is goingint to be 1600mm

No.
Length of most shell components is the calibre. 5 components on a 50mm gun -> 250mm shell length.
Some components (fuses and base bleeder I think) have a "max size", and will never be bigger (base bleeder has max size 100 iIrc, so will be the same size on a 100mm and a 500mm gun).

I'd love to see a bullet of that size! actually I think you could. just make the bullet as long as you can (isn't 1600mm 16 meters?) and attatch an ammo input directly onto the firing piece. you'll get a really long reload time of about 20 seconds or more but it'll do tons of damage. you could even make a super longrange arti out of this.

Try this idea if you really want.

Ignore loaders and other stuff, and just slap a ammo input feeder to the firing piece. There you get to pretty much break all the rules of advanced cannons except for the fire rate.
