[MOD 0.11.x] Fort mod v0.2.0

[orzelek]

This is a small mod aimed at adding a bit more defensive buildings.

It introduces 4 3 level tech lines for variants of gun and laser towers. Reinforced walls and gates are also added.
The tower tech lines are heavy and long range variant for both types of turrets.
Heavy - shorter range, more damage and armored.
Long range - longer range, lower damage and light armor (compared to vanilla tower).

Thanks to YuokiTani for icons.

Since I redid most of stuff balance might require some tweaking.

The v.0.2.0 is not backwards compatible. Replacing from v.1.x in running game will break stuff.

i love it already
The range upgrade is so helpful, and i like the cost scaling too. Small upgrade -> small addition in build cost

Nice, this looks pretty cool. I think I will do a mod spotlight on it.
Also for graphics my I suggest contacting YuokiTani. He made Yuoki industries and makes some mind blowing graphics.

Maybe you could make gun turret upgrades work with it too? Maybe add scripted tech too, like you generate turrets. Probably make 1 dmg upgrade that works for all turrets of same type.

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean more turret damage upgrades similar to existing ones or something else?

Adding more of those should be easy - needs only nice formula for scaling of costs. I believe there are already few mods that add those techs - might be for lasers only tho. Also I'm usually using other mods that add better ammunition for guns - like bob's warfare mod or Yuoki's mod.

All the base game damage and fire rate upgrades work on reinforced turret variants as expected (at least for me in my testing).

Edit: I checked again and it seems that ammo upgrades work but turret damage upgrade doesn't apply to new gun turrets. I'll look into it and either make usual ones apply or create new upgrade lines.

When i upgrade gun turret damage, it does not affect fortified turrets damage. I haven't tested laser turrets. Did you even play your own mod? Ammo upgrades do count but not turret damage upgrade itself.

Also inserters load huge amount of stacks (100 max) of ammo into turrets, why the hell? 5 ammo stacks are more than enough! They are completely useless for automated operations.

Added new version with fixes for both those issues.
You'll need to use small trick if you want to fix damage upgrade properly in running game - see first post for details.

Everything now works just fine. No other suggestions yet.

New version with a bit different approach up.
