I understand the feeling,
I am yet to lazy to update the patches I made for myself

It only changes vanilla behaviour, so yes, it does. I forgot I need to update the thing.

does this mod still work in 1.6?

I currently have some other obligations to focus on, but I'll look into it. Thank you for the suggestion!

question: would it be possible to apply this to the VWE-Frontier manned Gatling turret as well? That thing is so impossibly slow to start firing at something it rarely gets more than 2 shots off before having to restart cooldown. It has a similar mechanic to the laser one in that it speeds up the longer it shoots at a target, but the target usually dies or runs away before it can actually do anything.

Not a problem. I’ll see what I need to do as far as my end goes.

Okay, quick test showed that the interaction between my mod and ECS does not affect anything.
The lads on the RimWorld Discord tell that it is rather hard to spot the right error, but in general the issue is this: some mods add too many new sounds to run at the same time, and your system that runs sounds (I don't know what FMOD stands for) runs out of channels to render those.
I am afraid I can't help you much further on this issue.

I am not really good at mod making. However, I think the issue may come from the interaction with Enhanced Combat Sounds. The error shows it cannot play the spinup sound, which normally does not exist. Maybe it is trying to play the sound for a spinup that no longer matches the length. Or maybe it is coded to fit only the burst weapon pattern and, since miniguns are no longer "burst" it freaks out. Anyway, I think that is our culprit.
I'll run it by more qualified people, but that's my take.

the hugslib might be useless however I'll see if it comes up later. I really want to retain your mod because I like it but if it keeps screaming at me during play, I might have to try not using it.

I'm not sure what it could be but I think there's a bug with your mod related to the spinup sound

Man i appreciate this FR

Right now - no guns from "VWE - Heavy" are affected by the mod. This can be added, if I get around to doing it some time...

Vanilla expanded heavy weapons compatible?

haha pawn go brttttttttttttttt

Yeah in combination with Simple Sidearms you get walking tanks.

Honestly one of my required mods at this point, makes kitting out an entire death-squad of heavy weapon soldiers feel awesome instead of wasteful! Has anyone asked about Project Itzal: Reloaded yet? There are some really cool beeg guns that could use this kind of touch up.

No as in I honestly thank you, because I used your Mod as a basis and learned from it :)

I changed the mods I wanted for myself a while ago, but then one got an update and the others got completely deleted because Steam stopped downloading mods and I had to completely reinstall Rimworld ..

so I took the hint and finally got around to learn Patch Operations so shit like this does not kill my changes again.

As in, I didn't do it so you did? Sorry, was busy with other projects on my plate.

Thank you Garr, you just tought me Patch-Operations :)

I'll look into it when time permits. Thanks!

Another Mod that really needs the minigun touch up :
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2906456426

when you forget to which mod you are actually subsribed :)

Yup thats right, and there might be less Mini-Gunny weapons than I thought.
And it would be my pleasure to support your endeavour.

Rimsenal Core -
Jotun Interstellar - Either the "Muspel" Supressor Cannon
or "Grendel" Siege Gun

Rimsenal Augmented Vanilla Pack - Charge Weapons - Assault Charger

Rimsenal Ferals - Feral Crank Gun - Skullbuster ( after checking the stats already has single bullet, low cooldown fire )

Rimsenal Federation - none


Another though this mod gave me, is that Machine Guns are used completely wrong.
Long Salvos with Long Intervalls instead of short to medium salvos with shorter intervalls.
( at least that is how my instructors tought me shot one .. )

@SpaceDorf
I vaguely remember Rimsenal having a selection of mods. If I am mistaken - please correct me, but if I am not, I would very much appreciate you helping me see which mods have miniguns to modify and which aren't.

@Garr Incorporated
I would love to see the Rimsenal Weapons getting the same treatment.

It wasn't that hard, really. But thanks!

yeah, sorry about that, thanks for putting in all the hard work

Your false advertisement made me chase a goose for ages. The gatling gun is not from Settlers. It's from Vanilla Weapons Expanded - Frontier.
Anyhoo, it's updated now. Happy belated New Year!

Settlers? Okay, I will probably be able to get to it tomorrow.

what about Vanilla Factions Expanded - settlers, the handheld gatling gun is the grandfather of all miniguns, it needs some love too

Hello @Garr Incorporated.
I found a typo error in xml
# Patches/All_Minigun_Patch.xml
:162

<OverheatMoteThrown>Mote_HeatGlow</OverheatMoteThrown>
It must be
<OverheatMoteThrown>HeatGlow</OverheatMoteThrown>

I made the same changes in 1.3 for myself.
Thank you for making it easier for me. :)

thank :D

Right. Those are easy to do, since they are literally editing vanilla files. Give me a moment.

Update pls? I'd also love the optional patch to get an update :D

The mod has been updated. Now Warcasket Minigun is also affected by this mod!

Awesome,thanks

I lied. Patch should come within the next 15 hours.

When I get the time, I will do that. Hopefully tomorrow.

Could you also patch the warcasket minigun from vanilla expanded: pirates?

Minigun2's author knew about this but didnt have an issue with it since trigger happy is balanced by the traits trade off although mods that permit upgrades like equipment reinforcer are even more funny

I honestly never considered the implications of that. Due to my time being busy, I haven't played even one game of RimWorld in the past year in general, let alone with this mod. Guess my dream future campaign will be hella fun.

this is probably obvious due to this mod being pretty much just a patch operation, but figured I'd let anyone else who discovers this mod know that this works just fine for 1.3, as far as I can tell

that said, I must say that the interactions between this and stuff that modifies aim speed are pretty funny. trigger happy shooting specialist's minigun go brrrrrrr

Alright! You go for that diploma! Real life comes first. :)

To keep the balance, I will need to think of something... Later. Diploma is coming soon and hard.

Phew. I finally found the time to play a bit and you're totally right. They do fire somewhat slowly. I guess that means the rate needs a bit of tweaking?

In my testing they fire somewhat slowly. I await your judgement on that front.

Awesome! Can't wait to try it out! The turrets will be pretty gnarly, hehe.

Finally had an hour of free time, and so I added the compatibility with VFE Mechanoid, changing the Charge blaster turret!

It's all good. Mods are of course an unpaid work of passion, so please take as much time as you need to finish your priorities first! Just glad I was able to help in whatever small way by providing an idea to help improve this amazing mod.

Right now I am pinned down with my bachelor's thesis, so I don't really have time to dive into it, but I will definitely try to include such capability into a Charge Blaster turret. Thanks for the idea, @Norfuer!
