@Farbott
The way the patch is written it should be pretty much compatible with everything without adjustments.

reinstalling this from my list cleanse and not realizing this was pretty convenient, does the patcher play nice with extra middle and extra mini turrets?

@PatoPixelado
I mean it has the 1.5 tag. As far as I'm aware there's no issues with it. If you encounter any let me know.

so this mod works well in 1.5?

i guess that's true

@Lama man
When I was making the patch the only results that came up were actual turrets and mortars so it obviously doesn't work. If I recall correctly you can change the refuel threshold in the mod options for those.

i wonder if it works on Vehicles since they have Turret guns

Everything works now! Appreciate the quick fix!

@Ravings1
Alright I'll take a look at it later. Sounds like the main patch isn't catching it for some reason.

Ancients adds two new turrets, an ancient mini turret and an ancient point defense turret. They both just use steal to refuel, but pawns don't refill the ancient point defense turret until it's below 50%. The only difference between this turret and the other turrets is that this one is capable of shooting down projectiles and drop pods.

@Ravings1
I don't use that mod. Could you describe what the problem is? Is it not patched to work or is it a turret that uses something expensive like components?

Will there be a patch for VFE Ancients point defense turret?

@NotoriousNix
Looking it up on the workshop despite the name at least one of those mods removes refueling from everything. You might want to ensure the one you're using doesn't go beyond what you intend.

I think I figured it out, I suspect it was lag free lamps as it removes some refueling functions. I didn't realize it extended past lamps.

@NotoriousNix
I'm not sure how that could happen. It's a very vague patch that just goes for anything with the thingClass turret's use then patches the autoRefuelPercent. Are you using any turret mods by any chance?

Got a small stacktrace patch error

this doesn't seem to work with the more cannons mod :( any chance of a fix for that?

@no
Sorry about that, it looks like the same issue as the autocannon. I added a fix so it should work now. Unsubscribe and resubscribe to ensure steam updates the mod.

I'm having the same issue with uranium slug turrets -- the autocannon and mini-turrets work fine, but the slug ones aren't being rearmed.

@Rumline
Thanks for letting me know. I tested it in my game and it didn't function. Looking at the files the Autocannon does not have the class for the patch but it should inherit it from its parent def. I'm not sure why it's not working as intended. At any rate I added an targeted patch to the files and tested it to make sure it works. So if you unsubscribe and resubscribe to ensure your mod updates properly it should work fine again. Please tell me if you encounter any further issues with this mod or any of my others.

@FrozenSnowFox On 1.2.2753 with Royalty and no mods that should effect turrets, the Autocannon isn't being picked up by the "Building_TurretGun" class so isn't auto reloading at 99%. The Mini Turret works just fine. Adding the XML snippet from the 1.0/1.1 version of your XML file to the 1.2 version fixes the issue. Here's the mod list I'm using just in case one of them is causing the problem.

Thanks.

Thanks to Kayedon the patching was updated. Everything classified as a turret should be caught and have its reloading threshold set to 99% unless its specified. Just ensure this mod is loaded after everything else.

If you encounter refueling/reloading issues after this patch let me know. However since the patch checks for class that is exclusive to turrets it shouldn't cause problems.

@Kayedon
That would be great. It might be easiest to discuss it on discord since you can paste code and such. I'm listed as a modder on the normal and official rimworld discord servers. So if you send me a message we can talk more.

Hey FSF, I can assist you with a far similar patch scheme to support more mods with no additional work on your end besides changing how you perform your patch. Let me know if you're interested.

Thanks for the change to railgun, seems more efficient that way !

@Dr Zhivago
Fixed, thanks for letting me know. I forgot about the turret complex's.

I believe you accidentally missed the complexs from Vanilla Furniture Expanded Security. Both the VFES_Turret_HMGComplex and the VFES_Turret_ChargeComplex. Unless it was intentional.

@TheFatPuppers
Both of those are already included. It works on all vanilla turrets.

ok thanks i will try it

@Dr. Ben Carson
I can't say since I haven't tried it although I think it should be. Its a lightweight xml patch that only changes the when to refuel field. As long as its loaded after combat extended it should work fine. It would still only work on vanilla turrets and those listed under mod support though.

this is combat extended compatible?

@NECEROS
I'm glad you like the mod and its nice to see modders willing to have it on their turrets by default.

You know, I hadn't thought about this. I'm going to change my turret mod to do this by default. Great mod

ok cool, thanks very much for the information,
yep - it could be that 1 or 2 extra shot which saves the battle (i mean the defence) :)

@pgames-food
That value is the minimum amount of ammo allowed. So if you set it to .90 then it will only reload the turrets if its 90% or below. If that's how you want it then there's no issue and yes you can change it at will without worry. I set it to 99% because I hate my turrets missing even a single round. I believe the vanilla turrets and many others don't have any loss for reloading obsessively and if they do its probably 1 or 2 units of material at most (1 unit of material may count for 2 shots). The only ones you'll really notice a loss is ones that use something like components because blowing a component for 1 missing round is quite significant.

hi this sounds like it could certainly be useful in prolonged battles... (maybe even in that Wave Mode mod too) :)

(sometimes a pawn might get locked into combat on the way to refill, or take some time, so by the time they actually do it, many shots might have been fired, so this is useful to reload.)

can i check how this works with the vanilla turrets (which use steel?)
it looks like we could edit the patch file xml value (without rimworld running) to 0.90 if we have some steel, and then change it back again to 0.99 when we have lots of steel, but wasnt sure if that will work or is it just best to leave it at 0.99?
