Simple Mobile Turrets

Simple Mobile Turret

Inspired by SwiftSteps' Mobile Turret mod, which hasn't been updated for Update 1, this mod simply enables you to place Tier 1 Turrets everywhere.

It is completely balanced. I only removed the core building restrictions and electricity requirements, so there are no early unlocks, no improved stats, no immunity to infections, nothing. You still need to bring "Basic Building Material" and "Standard Ammo" with you, and you cannot place them in Red Zones.

Please Note: I'm not a professional modder, just a developer enjoying this game. As long as I'm playing StarRupture, I'll keep this updated if future patches break it. Otherwise, I won't dedicate extra time to it. Because of that, I've left the exact breakdown below so you can easily update it yourself if it ever breaks.

Technical Guide: How to Update It Yourself

To keep this mod running yourself in the future, you will need to unpack the original game files using Retoc by following this guide

Once unpacked, navigate to the StarRupture\Content\Chimera\Buildings\Turret_Tier1 folder and follow these steps using UAssetGUI:

• []Copy BD_TurretTier1.uasset/.uexp and DA_TurretTier1.uasset/.uexp to a new folder. This new folder should respect the folder structure, so it'll be like "NewFolder\StarRupture\Content\Chimera\Buildings\Turret_Tier1". This will become your new workspace.[/]

  []Open BD_TurretTier1.uasset and head to Import Data.[/]

  []Find CrActorPlacingConditionsData and set its ObjectName to APC_StandardBuildingsCoreOutside.[/]

  []In that same line, look at the OuterIndex value, follow it to the bottom of the list, and find the Package className line.[/]

  []On that Package line, change the ObjectName to /Game/Chimera/Buildings/PlacingConditions/APC_StandardBuildingsCoreOutside.[/]

  []Open DA_TurretTier1.uasset and navigate to Export Data -> Export 4 (CrElectricityTrait) -> CrElectricityTrait -> Parameters.[/]

  []Find ECrMassElectricityAgentType and change Value 2 to Producer instead of Consumer.[/]

  []Repack the files using the guide linked above and you are good to go.[/]

  Installation

  Move the three files (.pak, .ucas, and .utoc) into your game folder under StarRupture\Content\Paks\mods.

  If you don't know where your game is installed on Steam, right-click StarRupture in your library, click the gear icon (Options), and select "Browse local files". For example, if your game is on your D drive, the path will look like: D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\StarRupture\StarRupture\Content\Paks\mods
