https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... 92&t=14783 MOD: Displaying range of turrets

TODO: Move all threads to implemented....

This isn't really a 'Concept', and i think it probably belongs in just the 'Ideas and Suggestions' subforum.

Combat overhaul is pretty well known to be on the devs books, so i think apart from specific ideas about what type of weapons/defences could be added, this isn't really a suggestion.

Well, I forgot to change the name of this subboard. Man, it's so hot here... Somthing like "Frequently suggested" or just "Collections".

Nothing else than a short (!) description, keywords for searching and then only links to other articles... I'm just trying things out, cause I found, that the former idea with "concepts", "epics" and so on is a nightmare for moderation. I hope the forum will forgive me.

Edit: Changed subboard title. Renamed title of this topic from "New Defensive Weapons" to "New Weapons": We have some dozens of topics about new weapons.

So my idea is here, what does that mean? Is Ssilk a developer?

Dunama wrote:So my idea is here, what does that mean? Is Ssilk a developer?

nope just a moderator that attempts to bring order in the chaos that is user source suggestions

Exactly.
The reason for this is, that you can find easily, if there are similar suggestions (and maybe add a comment there instead of starting a new thread) and the second reason is, that we can hope, that the devs will also see this lists and try to implement what's possible.

To the state of this article: Every time someone brings another suggestion about Weapons an armor I try to improve the article and bring more examples. So every article slowly gets better.
The problem with this article in general is, that there are many, many threads that talks about new weapons/armor, but also mention it as one point of many - or much uglier: A weapon is a prequisite of their idea.

See the rest of this subboard for better examples than this.

So I updated the top post. Sorry for double posting, but I thought it was worth mentioning. Never thought it was so much material.

Looks like this is a mega-thread, so I'll post my suggestion here (along with some links to other users related posts):

Killer trains

Rail Combat Suggestions

• Armored Locomotive 
  Equipped with a long range machine gun, the armored locomotive can defend itself in transit. When unoccupied it acts as a turret on rails. Would come with increased armor; however, with slower acceleration/deceleration.

• Combat Wagon
  Essentially a haul-able tank, this wagon has reduced cargo space traded for two mounted gun turrets, and one train cannon - a longer range, but slightly lower damaging version of the tank cannon. The gun turrets are automated, with the cannon being a player only weapon (to prevent havoc on infrastructure and the AI destroying the train; alternatively there could be a proximity limit).
  
• Artillery Wagon
  A railway gun of epic proportions. The cannon can only be aimed in one direction, in what is called a car traversing mount. Being only able to turn a limited degree in accordance with the direction of the wagon and rail track, and being fired only from a stationary position, the rails the artillery wagon is situated on must be constructed to accommodate the firing arch. However, the artillery cannon matches limited mobility and firing speed with unprecedented range and destruction.
  
  Artillery would require purpose built ammo, coming in four varieties: high explosive, incendiary, poison, and atomic. High explosive shells would essentially be a long range, Cluster grenades (ten grenades instead of 7). Incendiary shells would explode into a concentrated dispersion of flame (radius of ~10), with an additional damaging explosion of 400 at the point of impact (radius of 2). The poison artillery shells would serve as a projected poison capsule variant, but without the central explosion. Lastly, the atomic shells would just be a long range atomic bomb, perhaps with a slightly larger blast radius (albeit at larger cost).

LongBolt I think those are already on this thread with new types of train viewtopic.php?f=80&t=17734

Also they're on the roadmap viewtopic.php?f=3&t=678

Thanks! I was not aware of that information until now.
