Hope it helps anyone!

I have similiar problem to @rimean.
I can build new turrets yet when I try to upgrade them no pawn handles it, and they cannot be forced to do it.

Compatible with Turret Extensions Continuum 1.2?

needs a 1.2 version

Wrong version for Turret Extensions. Requires 1.3 Turret Extensions version.

How can i upgrade turrets? I'm pressinng upgrade button and i have resources, but what's next?

Potentially, haven't really checked how that works in code. I'll play around with the explosive stuff a bit at some point and take another look at how things are

Hm, I don't know, really. Vanilla mortars do 50 damage and can reliably damage stuff like mechanoids whereas a cannon shell can be blocked by clothing made out of cloth. I think the issue might be that the 10% is applied two times, i.e. the cannon ball does 10% of the 10% - once from the vanilla damagedef 'bomb' and once from your items_resource_shell.xml

If you look at the vanilla mortar shells, they don't have any damage in their respective xml itself, instead simply referencing the damage type 'bomb'.

@Chicago Ted - I do agree 10% AP is low, however, I'm keeping this in line with vanilla in terms of balance and vanilla explosive weapons also only have 10% AP.

The cannon hits like a wet noodle, 40 damage but only 10% armor penetration. Anyone else having the same problem? Even cloth parkas reliable stop any damage.

Thanks for the quick response, it didn't even dawn on me that it could have been mod manager!

@Mobius-1 - TIL Mod Manager updated. Seems to be a known issue with Mod Manager.

Hay, having an issue where TE Turret Expansion doesn't recognize Turret Extensions right, it says "Depends on [XND] Turret Extensions v>= 0.0.0. v1.3 is loaded. Any quick fixes I can do? Is this just a weird thing?

@XeoNovaDan
I get the "not very much" aspect, but for cannon it seems like nothing changed.

@HeadWar - Can't seem to reproduce the issue you're mentioning. Is there a mod conflict perhaps?

And I probably won't expand on that particular path since I don't really want to introduce too much power creep with this mod and really want to keep it minimalistic.

@Plymouth - Since they're low-tech, not very much. Their upgrade costs are also fairly low to reflect that.

How exactly do ballistas and Cannons improve whenever I upgrade them? From looking at the stats, I can't see any obvious difference.

Okay, since 2575 is not like 2573 as far as Turret Extensions is concerned, I can take a look at this this evening

It would be good if there was some more modern option on the Ballista -> Cannon -> ??? path. Something with an area effect, that can be manned. Perhaps a recoilless rifle or a rocket launcher.

Definitely sounds like a fault that's occured with Turret Extensions. I'll check when RW's next main build drops since TE's current build is actually reverted from a previous build since RimWorld had an update which was also reverted

They will also cheerfully start loading the mortars with cannonballs once they are out of high-explosive rounds.

@HeadWar - How bizarre! I'll need to check this at some point.

@The Iron Rose - Sorry, forgot to get back to you on this one! I'll also check that when RW gets to its next build.

Not sure when this broke, but I know it used to work a few days, maybe a week ago? Tried to load an upgraded mortar with an antigrain shell. The pawns instead load it with a cannonball for the cannon. Forbidding all cannonballs makes the game say there is no available ammunition, even though I have an antigrain warhead lying around.

unfortunately i get the following when loading into a game in progress:

@Mortagon - Steam may have updated Turret Extensions for you but not TE Turret Expansion. Should fix itself at some point

Just started getting the error XML error: <useMannerShootingAccuracy>true</useMannerShootingAccuracy> doesn't correspond to any field in type TurretFrameworkExtension. Context: <li Class="TurretExtensions.TurretFrameworkExtension"><useMannerShootingAccuracy>true</useMannerShootingAccuracy><useMannerAimingDelayFactor>true</useMannerAimingDelayFactor></li> with newest update

And update pushed

@Simmin - Good catch, will fix!

I found a bug! Regular mortars cant take cannonballs, but when upgraded they can.

A medieval Bombard!!!, now just need a way to add them onto the boats mod and we can have pirates of the caribbean in rimworld!

Note for 1.1: This mod will be updated along with the next update to Turret Extensions - this will include the suggestion below since the next TE update will introduce limited attack angles!

It would be cool if this added a manned, old-fashioned cannon to give more pre-industrial options. I really like how this mod gives manned turrets to secure your less technologically advanced colonies.

I'm a fan of XeoNovaDan. Great mods. :)

It's funny in the description of his mod Neceros says "to do [in future] add some manned turrets that use vanilla weapons" so I was wondered if you two had talked / were aware of each others mods. Maybe you two should be trading ideas and such? Anyways thanks again for the quick reply :)

*Thats what I figured*

Awesome thanks! Thanks what I figured actually but such a non-issue :)

@CreativeFraser - Hello, there would appear to be some minor overlap with the Mini-Sniper Turret from this mod and the Sniper Turret from Simple Turrets, but that's all there is to it as far as I can tell from description alone.

Hi XND sorry if this has already been asked, would there be any issues? or overlap? when using this alongside Neceros' Simple Turrets mod?

having an issue to get the emplacement upgraded, doesnt work for some reason.

Unfortunately, it seems that actually patching won't be so easy after all. I'm not really into modding RW anymore, so I won't do it myself.

Open to PRs though!

@CANADIAN TAPEZOID - Sorry for the late response. Here's a list:
Ballista - Greatbows
Mini-Sniper Turret - Gun Turrets + Precision Rifling
MG Emplacement - Gas Operation


@DrStarfish - I think I might actually do that one.

Can it be made compattible with Combat extended?

how do you unlock these

In my limited experience with this mod, I don´t think the Ballista and the Machine Gun Emplacement are Op, in fact, they feel more weak than a regular pawn using just a decent weapon, and I only use them situationaly with my melee pawns when I dont want to risk them in a close fight, but you know better the mod, and I respect mods who care about balance, so I will not modify it

@Maverik - As designed, otherwise they'd be way OP. You can easily edit XML though.

Using the manned turrets doesn´t increase the ranged skill, can you add that?

Can anyone upload a B19 version? This update is kinda in the middle of my playthrough

Very cool mod!

thanks

Thanks to an update to Turret Extensions (v1.2.2), this is now fully compatible with existing savegames.
