Rah's Vanilla Turrets Expansion
Rah's Vanilla Turrets Expansion
A small vanilla friendly mod that adds 9 unique turret variations, ready to defend your colony from merciless raids and attacks. Raids in Rimworld can be difficult to deal with due to breaching and sapper tools/tactics. This mod tackles that problem head on with strong new turrets for the mid and late game.
RVTE is a direct rebalance project and ‘successor’ to the old classic 'More Vanilla Turrets' mod. This version has been rebalanced to make the gameplay experience more in tune with the vanilla game. Major changes include build materials and rearming costs, more realistic rearming materials, tweaking of stats, an all new powerful armor-piercing cannon for difficult mech raids, and more.
Main features:
- Features 8 turrets and 1 special mortar weapon. Some turrets have both automatic and manned versions, giving a total turret number of 14.
- Significant rebalancing of material and rearming costs for better gameplay value. Players can no longer spam turrets with endless ammo, thus making the game more challenging and fun.
- No more 5 steel to rearm a powerful sniper turret, or infinite ammo super mortars.
- Turrets are strong and capable, but they need to be managed wisely due to vanilla-like rearming costs.
- Charge cannon added with v2.1. High precision, and deadly armor piercing turret. Expensive to build and maintain. [b](New RVTE turret !)[/b]
- Many of the standard gun turrets take approx 100 steel to rearm, or more.
- Rocket complex takes high-explosive shells; 5 for 10 rockets.
- Precision turret accuracy fixed. It’s now a lethal sniper platform in the right hands.
- Blast turrets take frag grenades instead of steel. 4 frags for 40 rounds.
- Devastator mortar takes plasma power cells for rearming the plasma reactor. 1 cell for 20 rounds. Made at the Fabrication bench.
- Manned turrets cost the same as automatic turrets. They still have more range and accuracy, but the operator is more exposed with around 40% cover on most turrets.
- Research nodes sorted.
- Better descriptions.
- Removed moat floor due to balance.
- Continued tweaking and balance work.
