Artillery wagons can target biters

[PyroFire]

Option for artillery wagon to target biters (like a regular turret?)

Also, why doesn't ammo-type guns deal damage when used with an artillery wagon?

[wobbycarly]

The artillery has a minimum range.

The artillery has a minimum range.

I set it to 0, you can see screenshot its attacking the worm.
Why no damage or attacky biters?

See here:

In automatic mode, [artillery turrets] function much the same as other turrets, automatically scanning for valid targets within range and firing on them. Automatic mode can only target enemy structures (spawners and worms), not mobile units (biters and spitters); shells do, however, damage mobile units in the vicinity of impact normally.

Ooops, didn't see what subforum the post was in -- I always look at "New posts".

See here, here, and here.

I don't see anything there why it shouldn't work -- which doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't anything.

y no targety biters or damagey worms?

Don't know. Worms at least should be targetted.

BTW: there is that mod Armored Train (Turret wagons) that puts SMG or cannons on train wagons. It's using the cargo-wagon prototype instead of artillery-wagon, though.

Whoops, me either. Far outside my expertise!
