Automatic Targeting System for Cannons

This mod adds a fully-featured automatic targeting system for mounted cannons, designed to reduce manual control and enable advanced combat automation.

Instead of manually aiming and firing, you can build a modular control structure that handles targeting, rotation, and shooting for you.

Version 1.0.6 adds a new block that sets filters and activates or deactivates all controllers within a 20-block radius

Version 1.0.7 adds cartridge_collector Добавлен новый блок, который собирает отработанные гильзы и патроны, лежащие на земле.

Version 1.0.10 It has been decided to remove the auxiliary blocks that appear when the controller block is activated. Now you can place the cannon much more tightly on your structures. If you have any interesting suggestions, please join us on Discord.

1.0.15 Added a Machine Soul block that allows for automatic control of structures via redstone links from the Create mod.

1.0.16 Added new interface and new functions in the soul machine block.

1.0.20 Thanks to improved filtering, your Soul Machine-controlled constructs can now follow you and attack targets specified in the filters.

(At this point, you can install the controller unit on an existing physical structure)

Place the controller block on the mount Make sure the structure has enough space to assemble Open the UI and configure targeting Activate the system
