Cannonfoundry mod [2.5.2]

Contained in this mod is a plethora of Age of sails - styled simple weapons and block types. These were designed chiefly for personal use in my Imperium age of sail custom campaign to spice up APS broadsides and supplement more complex weapons systems with lighter more space efficient alternatives. Next to these additions you'll also find some serious firepower in the form of several heavy blackpowder weapon emplacements.

Other than weapons, there are two sets of blocks: sailcloth (to custom build your own sails without having to resort to barbarous non-voxel means) and seasoned timber - a stronger more floaty variant of regular wood to build sailing warships worth the name.

1. Three types of simple weapon cannons: Carronades, Sakers and Culverins. These vary in effective range, cost, firing rate and the power of individual shells.
   
2. For each of these 3 weapons types there are the following variations for each type: 4 size classes per type, and three incarnations per size class: one with carriage, one with gunport and carriage, and one without gunport or carriage.
   
3. Several large heavy weapons, including a huge blackpowder siege rifle and a ribauld.
   
4. Seasoned timber blocks and all permutations also seen with regular wooden blocks.
   
5. Sailcloth blocks to mockup sails in all shapes and forms.
   
6. 10m barrel: A 1m sized barrel that functionally behaves, costs and acts the same as 10m of regular barrel. This is added for purpose of aestetics on broadside craft were a large barrel size might be neccesary.
   
7. Stackable APS inputs: these are shell input feeders which you can string together like gauge snakes. they work additively to improve rate of fire on direct input weapons.

You can use the invisible 10m barrel to simulate a long barrel on casemates or broadside APS guns without having to compromise on the looks of your vessel. Using the normal hull-mount cannons you can also build your own casemates in combination with a bit of mimicry.
In case you want a big broadside array of APS cannons but don't have the space or means to make each an adequately protected fully fledged system, you can use the stackable direct inputs instead of loaders. It's not cheap, but it won't chain react either.

Of course, if you want to break the game with these novelty items I won't and can't stop you :p

This mod was designed originally for my personal use in From the Depths version 2.5.2 where I mostly hang out nowadays. This mod should however be compatible with newer game versions as it does not use a plugin. This might mean that the overall mod balance might also feel slightly 'off' considering how the game has changed the past year and a half.
