Shouldn't ion canons fire at worms and hives in the radars always visible region? They seem to only fire on the outer scanned region for me.
Also it would be nice to be able to direct fire using circuits or (in combiantion with AAI mods) using AAI vehicles to scout out enemy bases and fire on them. Maybe a mobile radar vehicle and ion cannon controller building.

I searched the topic first for this and didn't get a hit on stone, has anyone else noticed stone laying on the ground sometimes after the ion cannon fires?
Any command that can be used to pick it all up?
I see lots of it when running around where nests used to be.
Thanks for your time!

0.13.0: Destroying large stone rocks gives stone.
Ion cannon just happens to destroy some of those large rocks.
There are different mods to automatically pick up items on ground in range of logistics network. Leaving them laying around shouldn't have much impact on performance though.

Ok, thanks, I won't worry about it then

Stone on the ground is not specific to the Ion Cannon. Every time a rock is destroyed it happens, even when aliens destroy it. Not with nukes though I think.
You can set your deconstruction planer to filter for "items on ground" and just deconstruct everywhere. The construction robots will then pick everything in range up. Running through and pressing f also works.
Performance wise they should be the same as anything else on the ground, like alien artifacts. In sandbox recently I had 600k alien artefacts on the ground with not much drain on the UPS. I think that came more from the live aliens and machines. Problem only came when I deconstructed them all and 30k construction bots started collecting them.

can you modify this to work with the big brother mod? the automatic fire hasnt fired at all because the radar is larger range then default(i think thats the problem).
thanks if you can!

I also use alien science mod and loot chest mod, so I modded loot chest to pick up the stone around the killed bugs, so now when the ion cannon kills the bugs and nests, lootchest mod gets the alien artificats and stone from the ground, I'm happy.

I have disabled auto-targeting and it won't take effect on my game.
My problem is the constant alerts of the ion auto-targeting which ruins the game for me as the sound is very disruptive.
Please let me know how to disable auto-targeting or set the alarm sound to something more discreet.
I don't want to disable the mod altogether, awesome work!

You can disable the klaxon sound in the mod options menu under the
Per Player tab rather than the Startup tab shown here:
Unchecking the "
Play Klaxon" option in the
Per Player tab will mute the klaxon.

While using Big Brother mod, Te ion cannon wont target anything that has been scanned, But will target those that are currently being scanned or that have just been scanned, Could there be a fix for the cannons to target from say closest to a placaeble marker/Contrll station ( THis could replace the targeting system ) Or even a Radar Vehicle ?

Like you have some anti-targeting marker and you place them where you don't want the cannon to shoot. Everywhere else would be fair game?
The marker should have enough reach to build an alien farm. So the marker has to be far enough from the aliens so they don't destroy it but still cover the aliens so they don't get destroyed too.

Supercheese,
in the .16 version of factorio, this call no longer works, remote.call("silo_script", "update_gui"), the devs removed the update_gui from the remote.add_interface("silo_script", section in the silo_script.
Without that code, I launched 4 Orbital Ion Cannon's, and the Rocket silo stats shows
Satellite:
Orbital Ion Cannon: 4
Orbital Ion Cannon: 4
Orbital Ion Cannon: 4
Orbital Ion Cannon: 4

Is it Possible to implement an option (in the GUI for example) to enable/disable the Auto-Targeting?
and has it been ported to 0.16 yet? for some reason i cant find it anywere!

It's working just fine, no problems that I have found so far, but I would only upload it if Supercheese gives the ok to do so.

thanks, maybe you can open a pullrequest on github?
i tried to remove the remote.call line but its not fixing the problem for me. i am stuck with th error "error while loading prototype "crosshairs": key radius not found". unfortunately i have no experience writing lua code or factorio mods

stack traceback:

Sorry about that, in control.lua, change all colspan= to column_count=
you should find it 4 times.
