Not so much a bug but would it be possible to implement an Autoloader kind of feature? An example is a cannon can fire 5 shells in rapid succession (say 3 seconds per shot) then once the 5th shell is fired the cannon requires a much longer time to reload (say 60 seconds). This would be an awesome addition if it's not too much trouble.

It is a bit of a struggle to implement this with the current framework, but I do have an outstanding issue for tracking this.

Does this framework work alongside WeaponCore, or do they cancel each other out? Can you have both?

The reason I ask is I would like to have a multiple selection of weapons for ships.

Should work fine

This mod does absolutely nothing with cockpits or middle mouse, so I doubt it is this mod in particular.

Been seeing this in my server console on every server startup. Not sure if I've got the load order wrong or if this is a problem with the mod itself or another mod.

Pretty sure that can be ignored. That appears when you have manually added the framework (a dependency) manually in your world. Dependencies are automatically downloaded in the correct order, but if you have one in your list in the wrong order, it will whine.

player on my server just reported that his client crashed with this error
he was just flying around in suit.

If nothing is dependent on the weapon framework, that code should not be running at all... You are sure nothing is using the framework?

nothing that uses it. unless oki weapons secretly uses it lol

OKI does use it. Also, looks like that error has to do with some parallelization, not sure why on earth that is happening because I'm not threading anything. I'll look into it, thanks for the report.

Pushed an update so this should not happen any more. Issue was that the block Init method is apparently threaded now and accessing non-threadsafe dictionaries made the game mad. I've since changed to thread safe dictionaries.

Still getting this "Keen: Mod Whip's Railgun Weapon Framework is accessing physics from parallel threads. This is not safe and might cause the game to crash or behave unexpectedly." come up in the torch error log.
