DO NOT ASK FOR UPDATES THIS MOD IS AWAITING VANILLA FURNITURE EXPANDED - SECURITY TO UPDATE. IF YOU ASK FOR AN UPDATE YOUR COMMENT WILL BE DELETED
You know the drill: I feel the mod has some balance/design issues, so I rebalanced existing content and added some new stuff.

There are a lot of building changes here, so I won't be able to explain everything in the description or infographic. However, a complete list of changes can be found in the lower part of the contents section.

The deployable turret/barriers while cool in concept, they struggle due to a lack of options and usability. The barrier slows you down even when retracted making it effectively a slightly better sandbag that needs power. Now, you can remotely toggle the power, while no longer having a speed penalty when submerged. Floor turrets now also have a remote toggle, plus three new variants and all floor turrets have slightly worse range than their base counterparts for balance (and because it slightly improves their accuracy due to how the range system works).
NOTE: To remotely toggle the power you need to research Microelectronics

The next changes I made weren't balance changes but visual fixes instead
- The Dual Autocannon wasn’t properly aligned with the vanilla turret counterpart. Fixed.
- The Military Turret wasn’t properly scaled or aligned with the vanilla turret counterpart. Fixed.
- The Floor Turret had an outdated icon from when it used to have an offset after popping up. Fixed.

I also took a look at the Artillery as functionally it gets unlocked after mortars but had worse accuracy and a longer cooldown while also being inconsistent with vanilla (it didn’t need barrels). Now, it has massively improved accuracy, making it a powerful, fairly accurate crowd control option. It also now requires barrels, consuming them at double the rate of a mortar, but it can also hold two barrels.

This mod is incompatible with Ferny's Persistent Calvary Spikes mod as it does the same thing.

As always, if you run into a bug, please leave a comment containing a hugslib log + what you were doing when it happened. (If you don't give me a hugslib log and I chop off your limbs)

Q: CE Compatible?
A: No If you want a patch, ask the CE team.
Q: I don't like the new turrets can I remove them?
A: Disable it with cherry picker.
Q: This sounds op! muh balance!
A: I tried my best to keep things balanced while also keeping things fun. If you think something is off, let me know!

@Cyser I apologize for the harsh response but i have been asked this dozens of times but nobody seems to read the mod page or the comments so it gets rather frustrating
Cyser Aug 28 @ 12:03pm 
@Smxrez what a nice, wonderful response lol :D

Excuse me then, still thank you for your work and have a wonderful evening

@Cyser i swear nobody can read
VANILLA FURNITURE EXPANDED - SECURITY IS NOT UPDATED FOR 1.6
AS SUCH THIS MOD WILL NOT BE UPDATED UNTIL IT IS AS THIS MOD IS LITERALLY AN OVERHAUL FOR IT!

@Smxrez

Could this get updated anytime soon?
All of it seems to work besides the artillery
Evan Jul 4 @ 3:50pm 
Apparently the vanilla expanded team is basically going to recode Security Expanded for 1.6 due to the old code apparently kinda sucking. Felt it was worth giving you a heads-up if or when you get on trying to update this for 1.6.

i cannot find the half wall or barrier,pls help
Smxrez  [author] Jun 13 @ 3:35pm 
@Neptimus7 Automatic power switch is used to allow you to toggle the hidden security
Power logic wont serve that same function
Neptimus7 Jun 13 @ 3:30pm 
Any idea if this works with Power Logic instead of Automatic Power Switch?

@Smxrez I use version 1.4 of Rimworld due to some mods I love not being updated for use with 1.5. I think this mod is awesome and would love to play with it. Could you please allow this to be compatible with Rimorld v1.4? Thank you

@Rime Pendragon fixed now in latest thanks for the report
