This thread gets more action than the Minecraft and SS13 threads combined.

Which means we're catching up! FULL-SPEED AHEAD!!!!!!!

[KingofstarrySkies]

The SS13 thread is also a thread for a server. We usually talk and stuff on the server ya dumb

Cataclysm is a playa.

[Orange Wizard]

Well, what else do you do with infinitely spawning NPCs?

The SS13 thread is also a thread for a server. We usually talk and stuff on the server ya dumb

That's not relevant at all.

[KingofstarrySkies]

I mean, that's why it doesn't get 'As much action' as this one.

So I finally got all the loops out of that turret mod I mentioned. I got the following so far:
3 flavors of energy turrets. Bolt, Pulse, and Beam.
2 types of nail turrets.
Dual and Quad SMG turrets that can be swapped between .22, 9mm, and .45
A old-esque gatling gun that uses paper cartridges (Will probably need balancing to make up for the lack of reload).
A Chain Lightning turret.
A Ballista
Two Spearguns
Canister launcher and ammo (Will definitely need balancing)
HMG turrets
Grenade Launcher Turret
Currently testing out the Splintergun which uses UPS power to shoot huge amounts of small metal splinters. You can obtain ammo by disassembling scrap metal (any tool with cut) or by disassembling rebar (needs metal sawing and hammer). The damage is low since ammo is plentiful; and the gun is useless against anything with armor. Then again, with 25 burst...

If you'd like to test it out: https://www.mediafire.com/?dpcc5k4xabkkm1i
Simply unzip that into your "mods" folder in game/data/mods and then enable the mod "Vehicle Additions Pack" and any other mods you want. Then generate the world.

If you want to use an old world, do the above, then transfer the mods.json from the new world folder into your old world folder.

Feedback is appreciated. Currently working on blob-based items. Also trying to get vehicle (Gatling gun on wheels) to spawn in the museum.

*Ahem*...

HOW DO BASES WORK?!?!?!?

And for those who don't know what bases are, you can apparently make one by examining a bulletin board.

[Aseaheru]

They dont, yet.

Besides sending NPCs there.

They let you order NPC's that are following you to wait at a given location. That is all.

They are an old hangover from way back when, eventually they will probably either be replaced or removed depending on future NPC interaction formats.

So how much longer til we get turrets that have to be manned or can be fired manually from the vehicle controls?

I mean I always thought it was kinda silly that we could make a 100% automated 360 degree firing, fully IFF capable lead hose dispenser out of a few pieces of pipe, a gun, steering wheel, and a welder with 150 battery power. (rough estimate)

...Not silly enough to learn enough C++ to do it myself of course, but enough to make 2 separate attempts to make them require a laptop or cell phone or something and giving up out of lazyness. 

In other news, awesome turrets blaze!  I kinda wished we had some more exotic options.

The original recipes required an AI module that you either programmed from a fixed laptop/PDA or ripped out of a military drone (Tank drone, Chicken Walker, Secubot, Turret, etc), but I removed them to help streamline the mod. Now it just uses processor boards/RAMs like the other craftable turrets do. They still require you to build a turret frame/powered turret frame so...

Like what kind of exotic options?

[Sean Mirrsen]

Maybe a "cutting claw" "turret"? Less an actual turret, and more of a doorway guard. Anything that comes into range is immediately assaulted by powered claws, expending battery power on the turret.

A TELEPROT TURRET. SHOOTS TELEPROT AT ENEMY, ENEMY LOOKS DOWN. ENEMY DIES IN LAVA.
