Description
Ever wish you could have some better variety with your mobile turrets? Now you can!

Guardians DLC and SAD_CommonLib mod required!

Please Thumbs Up and Favorite this mod if you enjoy it's content.

This mod will allow you to deploy improved/varied types of mobile turrets to assist with your base's defenses.

Note, however, that this comes at a cost. These require additional research with additional prerequisites, and (sometimes significantly) higher costs to build and repair.

These new robots are available under the existing Mobile Turrets menu under Defense.

There are also two new research items. One allows you to unlock the otherwise inaccessible 1.0 vanilla Mobile Missile Turret, and the other allows you unlock Mobile Turrets on scenarios where they don't spawn so they can be used all of them.

If you have any suggestions or feedback on bugs, balance, or additions, please post them in the comments!

Was working ok for me. I'll check it during my current play through. Didn't make any changes to the research or unlocking from the last update other than removing the now unnecessary extra Missile 1.0 turret research item.

Its been awhile but I researched the tech and it didn't pop up in the build menu.
Mantastic  [author] 23 Jul @ 8:46am 
That could be fun, but they'd definitely have to be in smaller spawn amounts and an end-tier spawn, especially if you're only using vanilla weapons. They'd easily wreck your base otherwise.

Enemies level up somewhat does this with artillery bots and upgraded laser and MG bots.

Something I can look into. :)

Stupid question but wouldn't it be fun To add theses turrets to the enemy Robots pool? Like having better turrets for ourselves but also the enemy expands their robots too?
Mantastic  [author] 13 Jul @ 9:16pm 
Sure enough, it did. Unfortunately when you have mods that overwrite other mod's values, if you don't unload said mods they'll apply those changed values as default when you save. In this case, requiring steel and nanotube steel from OET instead of regular metal alloys.

All fixed!
Mantastic  [author] 13 Jul @ 8:30pm 
They cost metal alloys, or if you use OET Resource Integration, also steel and nanotube steel.

I’ll double check the mod to make sure the latter didn’t become the default.
Twini-Kiwi 13 Jul @ 6:40am 
short question about the cost of thesse turrets dindt they cost also metall alloys? or was that just componets?
Mantastic  [author] 20 May @ 9:02am 
Thanks! I hadn't noticed that, but I'll have a gander.

Theres a small visual Bug at the flak cannon after it shoot for the first time a small Ring appears on the left side under the barrel Its not a big Bug but i just saw that
Mantastic  [author] 19 May @ 9:05am 
Update is released. This is likely to be the final one for this mod.
