Water Turret
Posted: Mon Oct 05, 2020 3:44 pm
This mod has been around for a while, but now that the release for Factorio 1.0 is out, I'd like to showcase it here.
Water turrets are simple turrets that will be unlocked together with normal gun turrets early on in the game. They won't deal much damage to your enemies, but they have a large range (50 tiles per default) and are good at slowing down hordes of approaching enemies. If loaded with water, they will also extinguish fires in the area, and if loaded with steam, they will deal more damage. (Hint: Use hotter steam for higher damage!)
The mod also provides highly specialized fire extinguisher turrets. They are expensive to make, but they'll put out fire much faster than normal water turrets. With a radius of 360°, you don't need to setup one turret to cover each direction.
If the setting is enabled, both water and fire extinguisher turrets will also clean up the acid splashes left behind by worms and spitters.
Hardened pipes add value to this mod. Fire extinguisher turrets will require some more research, and the recipe will become more expensive and more complicated to craft -- but you'll be rewarded with some resistances and immunities for the turrets! Also, you may like the challenge of setting up a production line for making fire extinguisher turrets with hardened pipes.
Water turrets should be compatible with mods that provide new enemies, like Natural Evolution Enemies or Rampant. Due to some requests, there are many settings for customizing turret properties like range, preferred targets, or even the color!
