Alright so I've got a github set up and I am welcoming serious contributors to help develop this mod. Here is the link: https://github.com/lethargicchii/rocket-turret Additional update: I am hard at work on v0.0.9 which will have acid rockets, masks for the turrets, and whatever else I can cram in i...

Hello all! I'd like to request turrets to support multiple ammo categories much like the assemblers support crafting categories. Reason: I am currently developing a mod that adds a rocket turret and different rocket types, but, one in particular is giving me a hard time. I need it to have it's own a...

I think you are right. I tried lots of different stuff the other day. I did manage to get the damage bonus of rockets when researched to apply to the poison damage as well, but, I had to do this to the projectile: Projectile ----- Poison Rocket ----- { type = "projectile", name = "poi...

I'm going to have to extend the release of 0.0.9 to sometime this week. Rather than adding in just the rocket pods, I am taking a second look at the tech to upgrade the poison cloud damage for poison rockets, and I want to do the masks for the turrets. TLDR; Release: Later 0.0.9 Tasks: - Masks for t...

Hello potentially helpful mod dev / reader. I have a little problem I haven't been able to solve. I'm trying to increase the damage of a poison cloud that is created by one of my custom rockets via research just like you can with laser and gun turrets. The custom rocket I made acts just like a capsu...

v0.0.8 is going live in just as soon as I finish this post. Changes/Additions: Added Poison Rocket Added Hybrid Rocket Technology - Lyneria takes credit for tech name Nuclear turret max range changed from 80 to 55 to avoid activation bug Minor code changes and description corrections. Removed old co...

Wow thank you for that insight. I see now. Seems that I will have to reduce the range of the turret.

I didn't have any problems with it at all. I have a 1080 TI and settings are High for textures, and All for video memory. 20170519112454_1.jpg Thats really big by the way. I kinda like it. Edit: If you used blender to make that, I would give that inner metal square a texture to help it out. The flat...

Attachments and documentation: https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=47497&p=277549#p277549 I'm not sure if it can be classified as a bug, as to achieve this result you must modify the game code, although it is only 1 line and 1 setting. Set the turret range of the base game turre...

A little more on the Nuclear turret bug: So after some more testing the issue seems to be a bit more complicated or simple depending on how you look at it. The Nuclear turret has a string that defines it's minimum range, min_range = 43. At first I thought this setting was causing the issue as the no...

I've actually been wracking my brains trying to come up with some method of creating "rockets" out of pure electricity or pure fluid without them seeming like magical handwaving -- my brain insists on rationales like that. The best I've managed to come up with is a hybrid idea along railg...

0.0.7 is live! This is a massive update so there could be a bug or two. My migration scripting knowledge is limited so expect to redo some research, sorry about this. Changes/Additions: -Basic Rocket Turret added with custom base image and original rocket turret extension graphic -Crude Rocket added...

Content Update Coming! I am currently deep in the mod and here is a list of things I am working on: - NEW Basic Rocket Turret with custom ammo for beginning/spaghetti phase with custom graphics - Restructure of graphics and code (Basic rocket turret will now use Rocket Turret Extension, and Advanced...

You are very welcome, I'm glad you like it. I only started heavily using blender over the last week, and I really enjoy it, so the pleasure is mine. Enjoy.

Well this is the best I could come up with. I'll need more time and understanding if you want realistic discharge, and not this halo effect I used. LargeAccumulatorAnimated.png Edit: This is the tutorial I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FYZrw8cci0 which was for an older version of blende...

Phew, sorry that took so long, a lot of little parts and the wires took awhile too.

Edit: I'll see what I can do about animating it. Also I can upload the .blend file if anyone here is good at animating.

I will try and make up a model. I've never done more than a rotation animation, but, who knows, this how you learn! If not, at the very least I CAN get you a model. 4x4 tiles? Do you know the dimensions of a tile? If not just give me an X and Y resolution to work with. For now I'll make up a model a...

For anyone interested, I figured out the issue. It seems when I use blender and set the resolution to the numbers seen in the code for width and height (X and Y in blender) and then use spritify addon in blender that the sprite sheet will not come out at the exact resolution as the base games sprite...

So I was really unhappy with the way the turret extension turned out, it just kept bugging me, so I beefed it up and have a new proposed model: New Turret Design 3D model.PNG New Turret Design 3.PNG Let me know what you guys think, I'm going to get some sleep, will upload new graphics sometime tomor...

Custom Graphics for the rocket turret have been added and the new version is up 0.0.6.

Changes
-New Graphics added
-shell particle removed from code, and will no longer display during firing.

Here are some screenshots of the new models
