About Drone turret
From Factorio Mod PortalDrone turret launches one way long range attack drones for defence
Drone Turret
This mod aims to bridge the gap between flame throwers and artillery when playing on very difficult death worlds.
It is designed on purpose to be efficent at murder at the expense of painful logistics and setup to be able to do it. The goal is to make a forward beach head, establish logistics and use the drone launcher to destroy enemy bases as you creep forward.
The turret itself requires 5MJ of power to fire with a 150kw idle
The drones have a stack size of 1 like artillery shells and have a 100 tile range and they are fairly expensive to make balancing out the immense power they give when clearing very strong worms and bases.
This turret should fit in as a good utility pre artillery for nauvis a very expensive options for other planets / space.
