This mod adds some turrets and combat drones to shoot down your enemies and protect areas from them. All turrets and drones have targeting configurable per-mob type; default targets include all aggressive mobs.
To get started, you will need to obtain steel ingots; you can use steel from other mods or use this mod's steel. To get a steel ingot, you must first craft "semi-finished steel ingot" from 1 iron ingot and 3 coal or charcoal, then process it in the blast furnace. Then you can craft turret/drone spawners using steel.
There exist following types of turrets:
1. Bullet turret.
This turret uses iron nuggets and gold nuggets as ammo and shoots iron or gold bullets. Iron bullets do more damage than gold ones.
2. Arrow turret.
This turret can use all vanilla arrows as ammo. It needs to have a bow or crossbow to function. Punch, power and flame enchantments on the bow are usable by the turret. Crossbow adds 20% damage to arrows.
3. Brick turret.
This one uses bricks and netherbricks as ammo. Netherbricks deal more damage.
4. Fire charge turret.
This turret uses fire charges as ammo and shoots fireballs. It doesn't target fire-immune mobs, because they are immune to its fire balls.
5. Gauss turret.
Gauss turret uses special bullets - gauss bullets, and shoots very fast projectiles.
6. Cobble turret.
This turret uses cobblestone as ammo, and has lowest damage of all.
And there are 6 corresponding drone types. Unlike turrets, drones are flying and can follow their owner. Their stats are derived from corresponding turret stats.
Health, range, armor, fire rate and damage can be changed for each turret type in the config.
A turret/drone can be toggled to be mobile/immobile - basically determines whether you can push it around.
To access its inventory, right click on it.
To access its configuration screen, Shift + right click on it.
To repair it, Shift + right click it with a steel ingot.
If you use this mod on a server, don't forget to claim your turrets/drones after you place them so no one else could access their UI or inventory; if you want your turrets/drones to shoot at other players that aren't your teammates, you can set it in the UI and add "player" type to target list.
Claimed turrets/drones also don't damage their owner and other turrets/drones with the same owner.
You can turn on drone sound in the client config.
Also you can put turrets into minecarts.
