Salt's Capital Repair Turret

This is a port of crazyscientist's Capital Class Repair Turret Mod for Avorion v2.4+.

I don't, particularly, like to take other people's mods and update them, but the last update for the original mod was in April of 2020, and I saw several people were requesting an update for the mod, so I think it's time for me to take a crack at this..

I've updated the original mod to work in Avorion 2.4, with a few tweaks. Namely, I increased the range, further, and allowed the range to vary slightly, rather than being a fixed, flat value.

Additionally, I made it much more costly to build these turrets, and increased the scaling bonuses for providing optional materials during crafting.

Finally, I added some size variations for turrets, with 4, 6, and 8 slot turrets available.

I welcome any feedback that users may have, just toss a comment here on the workshop and I'll see what I can do to address concerns/ideas when I can.


TLDR of the following: Mod is in-development, in what I'd consider to be an alpha version. I still need to potentially visit balancing, and whatever bugs may arise in the course of testing.


Note1: This mod is currently an alpha version for working out any remaining bugs that might be lurking in the background or deep in the scripts somewhere. Currently, the console is not throwing any errors on my server that is running this mod, but that doesn't mean there are certainly no issues with the code. With that being said, no errors is always a good sign, and I can't think of any reason why anything would go too crazy or break.

Note2: The one point that I may need to revisit is the balancing. If the range causes performance issues, then that may need to be scaled back a bit. Likewise, if the crafting bonuses are too much, I may need to scale some/all values back. Of course, this can also be done, to an individual user's liking, by modifying turretingredients.lua for crafting bonuses, and turretgenerator.lua for range and charge values.

Note3: I saw many comments that mentioned strange behavior(s) and/or non-functionality when using capital repair lasers to make fighters. I'll have to test these things, and hopefully come up with some solutions. (Or hopefully these bugs simply existed by nature of the original mod using its own functions that fighters didn't know to call upon, perhaps?)



Original Mod Description:
This mod will add size 4, 8 slot repair turret with high amount of healing and above 20 km range, but they will consume massive amounts of energy.
