Rah's Vanilla Turrets Expansion

A small vanilla friendly mod that adds 9 unique turret variations, ready to defend your colony from merciless raids and attacks. Raids in Rimworld can be difficult to deal with due to breaching and sapper tools/tactics. This mod tackles that problem head on with strong new turrets for the mid and late game.

RVTE is a direct rebalance project and ‘successor’ to the old classic 'More Vanilla Turrets' mod. This version has been rebalanced to make the gameplay experience more in tune with the vanilla game. Major changes include build materials and rearming costs, more realistic rearming materials, tweaking of stats, an all new powerful armor-piercing cannon for difficult mech raids, and more.


- Features 8 turrets and 1 special mortar weapon. Some turrets have both automatic and manned versions, giving a total turret number of 14.
- Significant rebalancing of material and rearming costs for better gameplay value. Players can no longer spam turrets with endless ammo, thus making the game more challenging and fun.
- No more 5 steel to rearm a powerful sniper turret, or infinite ammo super mortars.
- Turrets are strong and capable, but they need to be managed wisely due to vanilla-like rearming costs.
- Charge cannon added with v2.1. High precision, and deadly armor piercing turret. Expensive to build and maintain. (New RVTE turret !)
- Many of the standard gun turrets take approx 100 steel to rearm, or more.
- Rocket complex takes high-explosive shells; 5 for 10 rockets.
- Precision turret accuracy fixed. It’s now a lethal sniper platform in the right hands.
- Blast turrets take frag grenades instead of steel. 4 frags for 40 rounds.
- Devastator mortar takes plasma power cells for rearming the plasma reactor. 1 cell for 20 rounds. Made at the Fabrication bench.
- Manned turrets cost the same as automatic turrets. They still have more range and accuracy, but the operator is more exposed with around 40% cover on most turrets.
- Research nodes sorted.
- Better descriptions.
- Removed moat floor due to balance.
- Continued tweaking and balance work.
- Combat Extended compatible !
- To get you in the mood ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRAlWtadQRc

ALL TURRETS:

Stats:
Style: Continuous fire
Barrel: 150 rounds

An older class of rocket weapon that requires manual control and reload. Fortunately, with the help of decent optics and a deadly blast radius its presence is still dreaded on the front lines. Makes efficient use of high-explosive shells. Gives good cover.

Stats:
Style: Slow continuous fire
Barrel: 10 rockets
Range: 55
Rearm: High-explosive shells (5)

Stats:
Style: Burst fire (3)
Barrel: 150 rounds
Range: 30 auto, 38 manned
Rearm: Steel


Shredder turret is designed for close range. It doesn't explode when destroyed, thus making it a perfect choice for indoor defense. The only downside is its rather large size.

A heavy pulse charged rail-assisted weapon turret. It fires high precision armor-piercing projectiles every second continuously until the barrel breaks down. Meant for heavily armored targets. It requires a large amount of plasteel to restore. Experimental tech.

Stats:

Barrel: 40 rounds
Range: 50
Rearm: Plasteel (80)


A magnetic mortar weapon that launches plasma projectiles with great velocity and accuracy. It also has a large blast radius thanks to its burst of five shells.

Barrel: 20 plasma rounds
Range: 500
