hmm, that spicy politically correct response. Anyway..

re: "I mean just improving the aim would have been sufficient."

Swarm Shells ?

@mqwiemer Start by clicking on the link to the original mod, then continue from there.

how do I do that?

@mqwiemer Be sure to inform the original author of your opinion

I mean just improving the aim would have been sufficient.

I think it's kinda overpowered now, since it effectively tripled the firepower of vanilla ones with only 1 component and 35 steels of cost increase. I think adding 2 reinforced barrels to its build cost would be a nice balance. But its up to you. anyway thx for maintaining this mod.

@Jerma Fanboy No the differences are listed in the preview image

Does this mortar have increased range?

@God? Should be using the reinforced barrel if enabled now.

Does anyone know if there is a version of this that requires reinforced barrels like the standard mortars? Feels pretty cheesy that it dosent need them, but i love the burst shots so much.

@Twitch.tv/KAEN_SG Strange, Ill change the desc

@Mlie I do not use CE. Using 1.3 + both DLCs and about 70ish mods.

@Twitch.tv/KAEN_SG You are using CE I presume?

You might need to update the mod description to indicate that as the "Original Description" says it will not be used by enemies.

@Twitch.tv/KAEN_SG Yes the enemy will also use the mortar, as any other weapons added that they can afford

In v1.3 Enemy raid built advanced mortars and burst fired them on me... completely destroying one of my bases. When using it myself I am also unable to Change "Forced Targets" unless there is a round loaded in first but not fired yet. (using hold target)

@Mile I see now that it is working, they just grab a shell for each shot but don't have to like "reload" . Thanks for the quick reply though!

@Ximerous Works with no other mods loaded so might be a mod conflict

I have a ton of mods so could be that but the burst fire isn't happening. Do I have to enable it somehow? I see no option / mod settings for this so unsure. Thanks :)

Awesome work bringing this back.

@eNRAGED Sure, should be added now

@Mile Any plans on making such a patch, perchance? :D

@EnRAGEd It would require a patch I think.

Hm. Hostile faction constructed advanced mortars in a raid. Is this compatible with combat extended perchance?

No problem, glad I could help.

@Nigerian Astronaut Sorry about that, should be fixed now. The cost for the normal turret got increased in some patch since 1.0. Thanks for the report!

Why does building it cost less than the normal mortar?

many thanks Mlie :)

@pgames-food Should be fixed now, thanks for the report!

here is a small example:

hi mlie, thanks for updating this mod to 1.1

is it possible for you to slightly modify something in the mod when you get a moment, as it seems to be including a few (seemingly redundant) images, which are causing some errors:

its some texture files with japanese filenames which could cause issues with modding tools.

for example the files with 복사본:

"F:\Steam_LIB\steamapps\common\RimWorld\Mods\2023771298\Textures\Things\Building\Turret\A_TurretMortar_Top_11 - 복사본.png"

Looking at the error some more I reckon it has something to do with the bullet casing mod.
Thanks for taking the time to look and at the same time sorry for wasting it Mlie.

@Nagger I do not get that error when I test the mortar. Mod conflict?

@Nagger Ill check it out

Thanks for the update @Mlie
I unfortunately get an error message [prntscr.com] when using the mortar.

@Meltup Sorry about that, should be fixed now!

All great but it seems that advanced mortar can be build without special research for it
