In the campaign mission?

You can skip that objective by convincing the captain to start the attack; which isn't very hard.

So it plays like those top-down zombie shooters except instead of zombies we have humans?

Is there more to the game than just combat? The trailer doesn't really say much.

I might get it depending on the price, but other than that it looks like it plays like a flash game with better graphics and sounds.

The 444 pretty much is the ultimate sidearm. Kills nearly everything in a single shot; and even the ubermooks will go down in a clip or less.

I've been playing on Ghost difficulty, so I'm pretty much locked with the BOSCO + 444 + heavy armor. I die in a single with with light/medium armor even with 70 endurance. I swap the BOSCO for the Deprezador when I'm in the underground shafts.

I always bring at least two turrets; those things are pretty much essential. Particularly in that underground bandit area; with reinforcements set to maximum I can't even get through the first hallway before having the use up several clips of Deprezador ammo. I can carry a turret in front of me and watch it mow down all the enemies without using ammo; and I still get the money/xp for the kill to boot.

Remember that you get more money/xp on higher difficulties. And if you're grinding up, you can go to options and set reinforcements to maximum.

Oh, and Mental Balance is the most useless skill ever. There's even a researchable item that completely negates the need for it. Don't bother putting points in it.

We only have seven entries so instead of the elimination; we'll just do a brawl round.
I hope this update made the wait worth it. I'm going to spend the next three days with 12 hour shifts so...

Also, Monday.

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.

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?

Lithare: Starbound
i2amroy: Agarest Zero +4
Uber Pye: Shadowrun Returns +1
Shadowlord: Crusader Kings 2: Sons of Abraham

Remember we still need 4 entries.
