(vanilla)Exterior turrets

Description
Something seems to work not as intended? Report it in comments please, i will fix it with any free time.

Various turrets for use outside of the submarine, made from vanilla parts.
Note: this is not a mod. This is item assembly, vanilla stuff to use in submarine editor.

Includes:
- Coilgun turret (4 variants)
- Chaingun turret (4 variants)
- Laser turret (4 variants)

Turrets needs no power to fire, but instead they "overheat" when firing, and need time to cool down if overheated.
They have a lights indication that shows current "heat" and overheat status, have "visual effect" of overheating(made from hidden pumps).
Also they have significantly increased rate of fire. As a consequence, they have more firepower than normal sub's guns in short-term damage-dealing, but with limited capability to do prolonged bursts it is ~equal or less in long-term.
All variants equipped with shield from reinforced glass which prevents direct charges of European inhabitants while do not block line of sight, however besides that it not grants any protection.

How to use:
After subscribing in editor you will find a "submarine" named "Exterior turrets".

Just open it and then copy desired turret variant(s) to your submarine. You may save it to an item assembies for further use.
(note that in some cases items(usually periscope) can flip after copy-paste(bug), if it happens just change "rotation" value of affected items)
Also you can test it all from there.

Turrets is intended to be outside. However, they theoretically can be placed inside submarine, but when I tried it was somewhat buggy.

TODO(maybe):
More variants of current turrets (ones with 180° upper/lower hemisphere firing angle, wall(vertical)-mounted ones)
Universal turret (less balanced for each gun but with capability of changing in campaign)
Some railgun variant...?

Will be really interesting to see any feedback of use.

@PwnedByDumplings supercapacitor's "recharge speed" setting(hidden in middle of turret, behind deco plate), higher speed = faster cooldown and harder to overheat(from some high point impossible to overheat). Also "capacity" also affect, higher capacity = higher overheat threshold and longer cooldown.

what setting do i adjust to lower the overheat time?

@Kaiser strange, at my side all seems to work as intended.. idk, it may be just about balance preferences. As it is just stuff for sub editor, you always can change and adapt it for any your purpose. If you dont like "overheating" and "cooldown" time, just experiment a bit with settings of batteries(they hidden behind round part in middle of turret) and gun's power consumption

It very easy to overheating now and cool down was very slow
Garother  [author] 23 Jan, 2022 @ 4:06am 
@dingjunhuang.health maybe it happens because "overheating" mechanism uses hidden shuttle batteries with huge stored amount of power which, as i thought, will be enough for any adequate amount of time played on one submarine. And it simply wasn't enough. I multiplied amount of stored power by ~100 times now as potentional fix of this problem.
How long you played on sub with it to find this problem?

It's very useful. Also, I have installed four chaingun turrets outside my submarine. But, however, after playing for a period of time, only one of them is workable, and the others are kept in overheating. How should I repair this problem? Thanks.

@Garother Roger that, thank you kindly :) "same as the planters" I was referring at the planter boxes for the plants, who are positionated with E key

@Ewk95 don't sure what you mean at "same way of the planters" (seems my english skills fails here), but as it is item assembly, the only way to add it to your sub is through submarine editor.
Ewk95 5 Jan, 2022 @ 1:09pm 
Can I place the turrets in the same way of the planters or it's required to add them in the editor?
