I meant like the ones you already made, like a nailgun turret or maybe a pneumatic rock thrower turret. I like the lategame idea of having a base defended by autoturrets but the current vanilla guns seem to mostly be good at wasting hard to find ammo on rabbits (and missing 99 out of 100 shots anyway). Weaker autoturrets able to use less precious ammo types like nails or pebbles sound cool.
Dual and Quadruple Nail Turrets are already in the mod, for 2x and 4x burst. Quad SMGs are also in there and can be swapped between .22, 9mm, and .45 by reinstalling them (Also 2x and 4x burst). I went for lower bursts precisely to conserve ammo. Compare it to the current M249 (Will always fire 30 shots even if the target would die to 1), and the M2 Browning (Burst 25). The splintergun essentially uses scrap. There are no arrows since there's a bolt turret and bolts are much easier to make. Any other materials you think we can use?
I had a pebble gun using 2x pneumatic assault rifles; I guess I forgot to port it to this current version.
Note that the energy turrets consume quite a bit of energy; they're meant to be hooked up to a base's solar grid or on a car that has a plutonium reactor/tons of quantum solar panels.
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.
It's possible by adding the "WHIP" effect, but If I set the range too low you get loads of debug messages.
A TELEPROT TURRET. SHOOTS TELEPROT AT ENEMY, ENEMY LOOKS DOWN. ENEMY DIES IN LAVA.
"This weapon contains a portal generator that generates a stream of a degenerating, unstable universes. They decompose before they can expand, but meanwhile they are rapidly attracted to nearby matter; exploding violently upon contact before moving towards anything else unfortunate enough to be nearby. It is theorized that the use of this weapon will permanently scar the fabric of the universe as well as cause genocide on an unimaginable scale as the generated universes release massive amounts of radio static which is said to be the cries of their inhabitants as they plunge helplessly to their inevitable doom."
It's possible, but most likely overpowered.
