Watchtowers

Description
Since it's hard to test everything by myself this mod is in beta and I need your help, please report everything unusual and, of course, any errors

Adds watchtowers from which you can shoot behind walls and other buildings all while reducing cover of enemies the closer they are to a watchtower
Roofs can block LoS, thick roofs block LoS as if they are of infinite height

"Isn't it OP?"
Yes, I believe it is in fact OP. Not only Rimworld wasn't build around shooting through walls but like in case with embrasures mods AI gets a little lost. This in mind I see it as a roleplaying accessory, and not a balanced addition to the game.

Should not break saves on add and on delete, though it's better to deconstruct all watchtowers first

In my tests it did not tank performance, if it does for you I'll see what I can do

Combat Extended incompatible (watchtowers lose their properties), but I'd like to change that

Hello @Frex,
Did you disable any mods? Because I seem to have the same problem. :)
Appolyon 21 Apr @ 7:59am 
Oh it's fine, still thank you for replying :)

Usually something like this happens when another mod is not modifying some method, but replaces it altogether. Guess you disabled some mods or they changed their code.

@Frex I didn't do anything. I was just about to ask you for further details :)

It works now, thank you!

Unsure about it, but it doesn't show any conflicts in Rimworld mod manager i installed.I click on the tower to try placing a pawn ontop in combat mode, and htey can only stand next to it, it's like a solid object
