Extended Turrets

Adds new security turrets to RimWorld as well has a host of new researh choices needed to construct the turrets. New textures are added and each turret has its own attributes. These turrets are meant to fight off the larger groups of raiders that appear later in the game and as such the research projects do take more time to finish. This mod focuses on sticking closely to the vanilla games appearance and feel and as such these turrets are balanced to fit to the vanilla game.

New Lazer Turret has been added to the mod and I am looking for opinions on balance. A big thanks to mrofa from the ludeon forums for the code and art work that has gone into the lazer turret and to the other turrets as well, this mod would not be the same without his amazing work!

This mods adds four new new turrets:

1. Improved Turret
2. Sniper Turret
3. 'Lazer' Turret
4. Heavy Turret
5. Energy Turret

Each turret has a corresponding research project necessary and custom textures.

Turrets:

1. Improved Turret This turret is as the name suggests, an improved version if the improvised turret. The turret fires in bursts of four with reduced cooldown time and increased health.

2. M-24 Sniper Turret This turret is an improvised turret that has been fitted with an M-24 sniper rifle. A single high powered round is fired before cooldown, but the range and accuracy of the turret make up for the slow rate of fire, sometimes less is more.

3.Lazer Turret A complex assembly of lenses and electronics, this turret focuses a beam of high energy light at the enemy to deal damage with perfect accuracy but with pauses between charges.

4. Heavy Turret This monster is the improved turret on steroids. Sporting two barrels and a bad attitude this turret fires 12 shots before the cooldown and does large amounts of damage. If casualties are not an issue then this machine is for you.

5. Energy Turret This is the tip top of the charts. This turret has it all, high rate of fire, high damage and high max health. Instead of using conventional projectiles this turret is able to convert electricity into an almost pure form of energy.
