Thanks, I guess i can now stop editing the visibility radius back to from 1 to base radars 3 after each update.
Do the auto targeting radars target enemies in their visibility area?

Suggestion: could you throttle the number of audio messages back to maybe no more than one announcement every 15 seconds? Or perhaps have the option to silence it altogether?
Having got to 500 satellites in orbit around my developing megabase I started looking for something else and this seemed ideal.
So I'm currently up to 60 ion cannons in orbit and having fun going around blasting those nasty creepy crawlies!
However it's not so much fun hearing it go "Ion cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon readyIon cannon ready"....
I can see the point if you've only got a few up in the sky.

Yeah I'll have something to address that for the 0.15 update.

Hey Guys, great mod!
I love to use it, but now i have a problem.
I am building rails in the area where i was blasting out enemy bases, but i can not build in places where a biter base was.
Is this a known issue or are problems with other mods known?

Sorry for my english :oops:

You need to update your Factorio version. The current version as of this writing is 0.14.21.

Is it possible to make ion cannon count as satellite, to increase launched satellites counter and to avoid empty rocket message ?
(I didn't found it, but sorry if you already have answered this question)

Empty rocket message will be fixed with Factorio 0.15.

Is it possible to make ion cannon deorbit after certain number of firing from config file? I need some sort of meaningful infinite resource dump for my mega base.

Really like the Mod. But is there still the thought of adding in Rods from God? You could make a cheaper rocket which would just resupply the launching station with tungsten projektiles (Made of a lot of steel, some plastic and copper) and have no cooldown. Or just have a set times of charge for the launching station and then needing to shoot up a new one.
Would really love that

The targeting device will become craftable once you've launched an ion cannon into orbit.

Hi!
Auto-Targeting Stations are rarely targeting enemy bases for some reason, but i have placed at least 18 of it, all gets electricity. I have 4 ion cannon ready to fire. I'm not changed the radar scan distance in the mod's config. What is the problem? What kind of data can I provide to help find and fix the problem?

Perhaps the bases are too close, and are within the always-visible radius of your radars? If that is the case, the base sectors will not get scanned, and it is the scanning of chunks that triggers the automatic targeting; in that case you could try removing some of your radars or manually clearing out the nearby bases.

Maybe some, but not all bases :D

It looks like your entire map is charted. Are you using any mods that disable the "fog of war"?

No, i'm not. I only revealed all chunks with "creative mode" mod (just to see far bases are not destroyed), but after it i loaded a save that i made before the chunk revealing. You can see the command line output in the bottom-left of the picture
