Unable to hook Artillery Cannon to circuit network

Post by octorok »

Hello,

I was expecting to be able to hook a Artillery Cannon to a circuit network. e.g. use a Red Wire to connect a chest, inserter, and cannon together. Then add a condition to only activqte the inserter if the cannon has less than X ammo in it.

Is that supposed to work? Or is the Artillery Cannon intentionally not available to circuit networks? (Or perhaps I'm mistaken and/or doing it wrong.)

Anyways, thank you for the great game!

Artillery turrets like gun and laser turrets don't support circuit connection.
You have to use mods like Inventory sensor to read their inventory.
