Helios XGL-200 Gravity Gun

Description
[Vanilla|Survival Ready|No Subgrids]

The most simple gravity which needs neither a script nor any subgrids. You can even print blueprints that contain this gun in survival and it just works.

The XGL-200 is a medium sized large grid gravity gun, shooting simple projectiles with only a merge block, space ball and a warhead. What it is lacking in features in comparison to the XGS-20, it makes up with simplicity and sheer destructive power. A single hit from this gun will blow up any ship. If you are using a speedmod I would recommend to add a couple more gravity generators. I just limited it to three, because they are heavy as ♥♥♥♥ (8 tons each I think).

Does not work in natural gravity, unless you just want them to fall down I guess.


Some stats:
-Blocks: 24 (+3 per projectile)
-PCU: 1113 (+250 per projectile)
-Mass: 61.3t (+8.4t per projectile)
-FireRate: up to 60 per minute


How to use:
-Place it on your ship, make sure the "barrel" isn't obstructed (see pictures)
-To shoot simply trigger the timer block named "Timer Block grav gun"


Tips:
-When placing several guns, each timer will trigger all guns
-You can spam the timer, nothing bad will happen
-When using this in survival with admin tools enabled, you just need 1 steel plate in each welder to make it work
-It is excellent at digging straight holes (roughly 0.5 km/min -> 2 hours to reach planet core)

-You can turn the welders and the gravity generators on and off freely, they are not used by timers
-You can also replace the welders and the gravity generators, just make sure the welders will actually weld everything

Ok, piston jolts and wheel guns also work, I don't have any in my workshop though and I don't know if there's any on workshop that are ready to use.

yeah, gravity generators don't work in natural gravity xD
The only clang guns that work on planets are rotor guns like this one.
You can't shoot very far with them though, cause ballistics and shit.

:::WARNING:::
I JUST put this on my capital ship & tested it in atmosphere.
It blew up over half my ship. This gun is ONLY GOOD for space.
That being said, Major, could you make something like this that's good for atmosphere or space?
OR, direct me to another one of your brilliant workshop items that already works in space & on planets?

thanks for made this! its very helpful to me :steamhappy:

I know, that's the biggest disadvantage of this gun, I just wanted to make it as simple as possible. This small version has all the features like a battery, a sensor trigger, can't be blocked by grav shields etc. But then again it only has small warheads and isn't nearly as destructive.

Very nice design, I ran into this while suscribed to the https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1980290680 but i did notice that the projectile has no battery and will despawn after 800m due to lack of power unless trash settings are changed. I've tried to add a battery around your design but it makes the projectile very innacurate. Will keep trying.

Again, very nice design, extremely deadly when I shot it within range.

@Major Jon Thank you very much.
