by the sounds of it you are actually looking for the fallout mod, i don't really do small arms, its not my thing and there isn't any 80s tech i could base it on, and i have no interest in mutants, you just get cancer from radiation.

The liberator already has infinite range once upgraded.

The Punisher already has a big range upgrade.

The punisher can't operate as a mortar because the projectile velocity is too high to arc it over a wall, only at extreme ranges, it does not fire an explosive warhead, all of the energy is from kinetic force, use standard mortars if you need to shoot over walls.

I know how railguns work first of all but why not just add a lower power mode that acts as a close range mortar also I find the railgun to still have a short range I have a colony on a island and it cant hit anything in the main land only like 3 surrounding islands
its fine if you dont want to add weapons or mutants i see this is a fairly realistic mod
also how do you upgrade the liberator?

oh yea one more suggestion for the punisher add a form of Flashet or fragmentation sabot round that once fired it makes a spread of weaker explosions within a certain radius

flechette*

the upgrade projects are in the rimatomics research tab, they aren't designed to be able to shell the entire planet, only provide support for caravans or raids near your base, if you chose to land on an island then its not really a good choice of weapon, if you want to hit any base on the planet try icbm's. And i really don't have the time to add mortars, the mod already went way beyond what was expected, very few people show support, and the standard mortars in the game already work as mortars.

ok then
well thanks for your time

@Fanciful, if you're looking for shiny mortars, the Devastator mortars from More Vanilla Turrets, seen here, are really shiny. It's a sixty second cooldown for a five round burst of energy mortars that don't need ammo. A properly staggered battery of those is more than enough whoopass to push enemy raiders back.

@Dubwise With regards to the line of sight requirements, is there a way to add in the description that local fire requires line of sight? I had a similar issue to someone in the comments on the main post where I was trying to shell a megasloth on the other side of my walls and didn't understand why it wasn't working.

If it's already stated in the Rimatomics research page, then oops, should have RTFMed.

yea I know about the devastator mortar but its not that glamorus nor would I prefer it over the railguns provided in the rimatomics mod

discussed it with players on discord, railguns won't be made into mortars, it isn't obvious in the ui that they can't shoot over walls so i need to add a check when you click that the target is line of sight

Late to the party but one thing which might be helpful is a disarm button on the nuclear warhead. To prevent accidental annihilation.

maybe add an airblast option for the liberator, so you can cause mini solar flairs for less ground damage and less fallout, and sorry for the fact that I too am late

So I've got a suggestion! But it's directed at the Tesla Coil and Obelisk. Having played way more Command and Conquer than I care to admit, I was a bit disappointed to find they couldn't fire over walls! When I specifically remember them doing that back in the day.

I dunno if this is something you could add or not?

it would be awfully unbalanced, you could just have 10 cells of wall and zap enemies as they try to chip away at it

Would it be possible to restrict the railguns to fire only if the target is in a specific zone? I'm having a lot of headaches with setting up my defense because they keep hitting each other when e. g. mechs get closer than they should. It's insanely expensive and frustrating to rebuild them over and over and with some way of restricting the targeted area that wouldn't be necessary.

you mean the minimum range is too short, i could probably add a minimum range adjuster in
