Description



You know the drill: I feel the mod has some balance/design issues, so I rebalanced existing content and added some new stuff.

There are a lot of building changes here, so I won't be able to explain everything in the description or infographic. However, a complete list of changes can be found in the lower part of the contents section.

The deployable turret/barriers while cool in concept, they struggle due to a lack of options and usability. The barrier slows you down even when retracted making it effectively a slightly better sandbag that needs power. Now, you can remotely toggle the power, while no longer having a speed penalty when submerged. Floor turrets now also have a remote toggle, plus three new variants and all floor turrets have slightly worse range than their base counterparts for balance (and because it slightly improves their accuracy due to how the range system works).
NOTE: To remotely toggle the power you need to research Microelectronics

The next changes I made weren't balance changes but visual fixes instead
- The Dual Autocannon wasn’t properly aligned with the vanilla turret counterpart. Fixed.
- The Military Turret wasn’t properly scaled or aligned with the vanilla turret counterpart. Fixed.
- The Floor Turret had an outdated icon from when it used to have an offset after popping up. Fixed.

I also took a look at the Artillery as functionally it gets unlocked after mortars but had worse accuracy and a longer cooldown while also being inconsistent with vanilla (it didn’t need barrels). Now, it has massively improved accuracy, making it a powerful, fairly accurate crowd control option. It also now requires barrels, consuming them at double the rate of a mortar, but it can also hold two barrels.

This mod is incompatible with Ferny's Persistent Calvary Spikes mod as it does the same thing.

As always, if you run into a bug, please leave a comment containing a hugslib log + what you were doing when it happened. (If you don't give me a hugslib log and I chop off your limbs)

Q: CE Compatible?
A: No If you want a patch, ask the CE team.
Q: I don't like the new turrets can I remove them?
A: Disable it with cherry picker.
Q: This sounds op! muh balance!
A: I tried my best to keep things balanced while also keeping things fun. If you think something is off, let me know!
Q: Save game compatible?
A: Should be safe to add but could be dangerous to remove.




- Smxrez (Me): XML, new turret textures.
- OskarPotocki: Original flame/charge/popup turret textures.
- OganessonG: Remote power toggle functionality.

Apparently the vanilla expanded team is basically going to recode Security Expanded for 1.6 due to the old code apparently kinda sucking. Felt it was worth giving you a heads-up if or when you get on trying to update this for 1.6.

i cannot find the half wall or barrier,pls help
Smxrez  [author] 13 Jun @ 3:35pm 
@Neptimus7 Automatic power switch is used to allow you to toggle the hidden security
Power logic wont serve that same function
Neptimus7 13 Jun @ 3:30pm 
Any idea if this works with Power Logic instead of Automatic Power Switch?

@Smxrez I use version 1.4 of Rimworld due to some mods I love not being updated for use with 1.5. I think this mod is awesome and would love to play with it. Could you please allow this to be compatible with Rimorld v1.4? Thank you

@Rime Pendragon fixed now in latest thanks for the report

I think I have found the problem. The error goes away when I remove the Alpha Prefabs mod.
Smxrez  [author] 7 May @ 3:45pm 
yeah seems to work fine on my end
maybe your load order got messed up somehow?
Smxrez  [author] 7 May @ 3:41pm 
@Rime Pendragon it should but i may have messed up the mod compat patch ill double check

Does this work together with your Turrets: Re-Examined mod ? I'm getting a Could not resolve cross-reference to Verse.ResearchProjectDef named VFES_PulseChargedDefenses (wanter=researchPrerequisites) error when I have both mods active.
