Q & A
Here you can post questions.

Q: Can you please make tank tracks for the game so you dont have to build them?

A: It's one of my plans for the future mods.

Q: How to use it?

A: Here comes a proper example in words:
1. Sit in the cockpit, be sure you have gun attached to your ship*, station or giant !@$@! with enough power (and ammunition if you are on survival mode)
2. Press G - search for the gun in weapons tab
3. Attach it to a hot bar (That big 1-9 + 0 bar at the bottom of the screen)
4. Press the button the cannon is attached to ( 1 for example)
5. Aim at something
6. Press LMB - Left Mouse Button
7. Give yourself a hug and make an evil smile.

You can feel so Stronk now. :)


Q: I don't know if the last patch broke these or not but the guns are not connecting to the conveyor network. Straight and 90 degree conveyors are showing red when placed on the back of the gun and the conveyor block is not connecting either.

A: Update broke something. You have to save your world and load it again in order to get the conveyor system to work.

Might be a stupid question... but, where do I find the alternate ammunition in the menus?
I know you're suposed to load it into the gun, but so far I'm stumped :<

You mean producing it in survival?
You have 3 types of shells for each gun. They are visible in the asembler to make.

If you mean spawning them in creative mode, you need to press shift+F10 and select them from the list and type the amount and then click spawn item.

If you mean cycling through the ammo while operating the gun, you have to have the amunitions loaded (in survival) and press a button corresponding to the gun on the toolbar to switch beteen them (both survival and creative).

Although the game doesnt tells you which you are using at the moment.
In creative it's best to load 1 AP 2 APCR and 3 HE shells to the gun, so you know which type of shells you are firing.

Hope it solves your problem :)

Where is the conection point for the convyor system?

Or did you intentionally make none?

@dennis.danilov:
-----------------------
I don't know.. have you maybe tried looking at the back end of the gun yet? There is a big black hole.. you can't miss it.. or can you?

The connector tube lights did not turn yellow. I did try.

Here: added answer on the list above, this was a common thing after one update, I'm not playing the game rly so I don't know if they've fixed it yet.

the conveyor system does not work. Hope you can fix it. I also can not load ammo on the rear of the gun.

It seems like a bunch of players has that problem, me too, although I have no clue what would make that happen.

I didn't change anything with conveyors so it should be fine, also I haven't seen any news telling that there were some changes in dummies so..

I wonder if I'll be able to fix that.

I know, although there is a temporary solution, read it way above from here - it's my last answer in Q&A section.
