Im fairly certain the problem is with how the turret was made, and I dont think there is anything players can do aside from manually aiming the turret.

Im noticing that when im playing with the victims of clang mod installed (the turret will just miss the zombies chronically, like it doesnt hit a single shot even at point blank range, is there a way to fix this?

Gotcha, thanks for the quick response!
Skallabjorn  [author] 18 Jun, 2023 @ 8:50am 
No Sorry I dont do Weapon Core
Kam Solastor 17 Jun, 2023 @ 6:36pm 
Would there be any chance of a WeaponCore version of this at some time?
General 6 May, 2023 @ 6:04pm 
ok, I will have to track that down. thanks!
Skallabjorn  [author] 6 May, 2023 @ 1:01pm 
Yup thats a weapons core thing ( the 4 m range and shooting thing ), does that to vanilla type turrets. Almost sounds like you have another mod running thats loading WC as a dependancy after you had removed it.
General 6 May, 2023 @ 11:13am 
I guess weaponscore is active by default? I did disabled it, the problem now is that I cannot set the radius larger than 4m. The only thing different from the last time I played when it was working to now are the core game updates. I have restarted the game, turning weaponscore on and off before each restart. I just can't seem to get it to increase above that 4M mark, so they only fire when you click the "shoot" button, but then it will just fire in whatever direction it is pointing and there is no AI targeting. Any suggestions on how to get this working again?

This is not a weapon core compatible turret. if your using weapon core then thats the reason.

They are working fine on my server. you have another conflict.
General 3 May, 2023 @ 7:59pm 
this doesn't seem to work anymore with the automaton update. Getting weaponcore errors and wants to remove them because they are not compatible. when I disable weaponcore, the turrets do not function properly. They no longer rotate and just fire at their default orientation and destroy things they are not supposed to.

Sorry, that is ( a gravel rifle ) outside the scope of this mod. Cheers.
Maya 1 Oct, 2022 @ 6:43am 
I dont see any real need for such a rifle
Stormraven204 1 Oct, 2022 @ 4:09am 
@Maya

What I meant was a handheld rifle using gravel magazines rather than the magnesium based NATO rounds. The mod is still working fine.
Maya 1 Oct, 2022 @ 3:17am 
Last time I checked this did use ammunition made with gravel
Stormraven204 1 Oct, 2022 @ 2:38am 
Hi Skallabjorn,

Would it be possible to implement a gravel rifle that uses gravel based ammunition rather than NATO magazines, may be outside the scope of this mod but could be an interesting idea?

Fantastic mod by the way, certainly a must have on my list as I have NPCs knocking on my door on a regular basis and the gravel turret has saved my life on countless occasions!
Skallabjorn  [author] 20 Jun, 2022 @ 8:03am 
Its a spring loaded spring fired weapon, thus the low muzzle velocity.

Your thoughts are noted.
Volg 20 Jun, 2022 @ 3:58am 
Or i guess you could just add Ice as a requirement for the ammo box. Just figure the conversion of ice to Hydrogen to find out how much ice would give the required amount of hydrogen.
Volg 20 Jun, 2022 @ 3:51am 
I like the idea of this mod, however i cant get past the idea that it is somehow "cheating", so I had an idea. Maybe use hydrogen gas as it fires, if it is possible to add a "fuel" requirement.

I am not here to dis the mod, as I like the idea. I have never looked at weapon modding in SE, so i am not familiar with how damage is done to blocks, or how they consume ammo and power etc. so I have no idea what I am talking about here . My only modding has been to make new blocks that were just reshaped duplicates of existing blocks. I will most likely use it as is and try to "justify" it to myself in some way, but the addition of hydrogen as a fuel would be great in my opinion.

Warfare 2 Update - Mod appears to have survived the Keen weapons crunching, will re ballance as time allows...
SpaceAngel065 27 Dec, 2021 @ 4:01am 
thanks for info! i might have not read the whole information of mod.
Skallabjorn  [author] 26 Dec, 2021 @ 4:14pm 
Mod conflict, that mod list has weapons core, this mod clearly stated not weapon core compatible nor supported.
SpaceAngel065 26 Dec, 2021 @ 2:08pm 
I added this to my world and my whole game crashed, i cant even open the game. Playing Kanajashi's season 4 modlist. problem appears then opening search bar.
Skallabjorn  [author] 30 Jul, 2021 @ 11:54am 
Yup beastie bang bangs
BIV 30 Jul, 2021 @ 11:28am 
Dog killers, nice.
Darkaiser 19 Jul, 2021 @ 7:27am 
I love this idea! I'll have to try it.
Zach Jepson 12 Jun, 2021 @ 5:43pm 
I know there was code released for vanilla turrets to be upgraded into weapon core so maybe?
Skallabjorn  [author] 5 Jun, 2021 @ 5:18am 
Most "vanilla" turrets dont work when WC is loaded, but I havent tried it.
Cave Canem 5 Jun, 2021 @ 4:23am 
I see it doesn't require WeaponCore, but does it work *with* Weaponcore?
Been wanting to make it part of my progression in a modded world that ends up with various WeaponCore based turrets.
Skallabjorn  [author] 16 May, 2021 @ 5:11pm 
Wc is not a dependancy as you can see. Thus no its vanilla
Zach Jepson 16 May, 2021 @ 5:03pm 
weapon core?
Skallabjorn  [author] 5 May, 2021 @ 11:01am 
@deusex block name search for grav, they are there. Just looked
Zombie 29 Apr, 2021 @ 5:13am 
@dues ex makana some items do not show on list but they are there is just no pic for the icon. Also great mod finally a use for gravel
Skallabjorn  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 1:33pm 
of course :) Cheers
DEUS EX MAKANA 21 Feb, 2021 @ 12:48pm 
your right
Skallabjorn  [author] 21 Feb, 2021 @ 12:12pm 
They are there, search key word turret, im looking at them right now in a world no issues
DEUS EX MAKANA 21 Feb, 2021 @ 12:02pm 
for some reason the turret and the small Gattling cannon do not appear on the building block list UI i believe the update is to blame . the compressed gravel ammo does appear and is build-able but the weapon blocks are not
Skallabjorn  [author] 31 Dec, 2020 @ 11:49pm 
I have been asked how this thing fires when there is no Magnesium used in the making of the rounds... well... think "spring gun"... a spring loaded striker to "throw" the gravel ball down the barel... thats why the lower rate of fire.

Retract striker, load barrel 1, rotate to barrel 2, retract, load, rotate to barrel 3, loads 3 & Fires #1, rotate to next, loads barrel 1 & fires barrel 2... etc etc
Skallabjorn  [author] 6 Dec, 2020 @ 11:18pm 
make sure the one your trying to place says LB in the top corner... Large Block
Skallabjorn  [author] 6 Dec, 2020 @ 11:17pm 
i just did
Wolverine 6 Dec, 2020 @ 8:54pm 
I cant place the turret on a Large grid..
Skallabjorn  [author] 5 Dec, 2020 @ 10:47am 
Added new icon for grav gat ammo and small ship gat cannon ( used the Keen Vanilla model for now )
Skallabjorn  [author] 5 Dec, 2020 @ 6:44am 
No not at this time
rottielover 4 Dec, 2020 @ 9:14pm 
Are you planning a Weapon Core compatible version?
Skallabjorn  [author] 4 Dec, 2020 @ 11:56am 
thats the whole point, just liek the low power lasers mod i have
Falcon_Flyin_High 4 Dec, 2020 @ 10:48am 
This makes sense for early game when you don't have Magnesium.
Skallabjorn  [author] 4 Dec, 2020 @ 1:50am 
Looking to fixed fire small ship cannon to the mod.... stay tuned
