Mar 22nd 2025: Turbolasers turrets now fire in bursts, but with reduced damage per shot, Ions have logics changed to improve preformance, and Mass drivers now ignore shields from Deflector and energy shield mods

All the laser and turbolaser weapons have Red, Green, Blue, Orange, Pink, Purple, and Yellow ammos. These are mechanically the same.

Laser, turbolaser, ion, maser, and mass driver turrets automatically draw power from the grid to generate their ammo. The power draw for each weapon is detailed in the description of their block. You do not have enough power generation on your grid, all the weapons will cease to function.

Missile and torpedo turrets as well as fixed weapons are all conveyored and their ammos are built in the assembler. Please note that, all small grid fixed conveyored weapons now generate their own ammo and no longer require conveyors.

Current blocks in the mod are:

Future plans:

If ammo switching for ammo generation is implemented in Vanilla+, I'll combine the duplicate blocks for the different colors. As new blocks are added to source mod, I hope to continue adding them here.

Known Issues:

Ion Cannon sound effects have a conflict the Safe Zone sound effect. [FIXED]
