Boom boom boom boom
The sound of coming doom
Let's dig this trench together
Attrition lasts forever



Boom boom boom boom
The trenches don't have more room


Let's bomb them all together
The crust will be their tomb



Boom boom boom boom
The charge can't come to soon
Their mortal coil, we'll sever
For that's our sole endeavour


Boom boom boom boom
The sky's a darkened gloom
The whistle sounds its sharp tune
None'll come back after noon

F

will this ever recieve 1.2 updates or is it forgotten. or is it compatible.

reason im asking is, i love this mod and the mod extension for this.

not to nag

@Da]BSE[WuergerKing thanks for the heads up man

@ all: Trenches 1.0 out now - also additional guns for trenches. Bunkers will follow tomorrow, goin to sleep now :-P

While i dont know if anyone else has payed attention to what youve said. thank you for working on the update and letting us know your on it. just being informed your on it is greatly appriciated.

Updato Pleaso. Arigato.

Give it a try, i think it still works. New version will come out within a couple of days.

need 1.0 pls

Need 1.0 update. You're mods are too awesome to miss

@ All: Sorry for the late responses, don't have muich spare time atm. I am still working on my newest mod, but it's very time consuming. Anyways, after release I will check all concernes and will balance/fix trenches and add ammo to it.

@ Nightrad: Personally I don't like that at all, but I will fix it, because people keep on asking me. In the next Update.

@Ryhnhart: Will check the code and fix it in the next update.

@ Karnettech: No sorry, this is technically not possible.

Does the trenches lessen chance of getting hit by friendly fire? I mean, allies should be able to shoot over the trenches.

Just found out you can't have the MG's under roofs, they aren't artillery and found it odd.

I am having a terrible time placing this stuff, maybe an arrow on the ghost to show?

we need body armor mod with this

Can you put the shells into manufactured goods instead of their own category in the inventory sorting on the left?

I love the weapons included in this, Not really a fan of the trenches themselves but would love just a weapons pack like the Howitzer and such...

Well this is embarrassing, I wasn't selecting the right trench.... I was selecting the cosmetic trench instead of the funtional trench, sorry about that!

@ Genericusername: Trench Tile is just the floor covering and won't provide any cover. It's more a cosmetic/speed thing like any other floor you can build. In order to get the real thing, the trenches, you will have to DO RESEARCH, and then you will get trenches/sandbags etc. And Remember: Stay BEHIND the Trenches to get the Cover-Bonus.

@ Hexatron: Well, I personally think vanilla ammo for mortar is way to cheap and gamebreaking, so my guns make you pay for every use. The small mortar can be deadly for close enemys standing in positions, because it fires fast and has no missing radius (the vanilla mortar is forced to miss the target by 1). The PAK can take down every enemy by one hit (and i will improve accuracy with next patch), the howitzer shells fly twice as fast as vanilla mortar shells (important for moving targets) and has no miss radius / plus 1.5 time dmg. It depens on your own gaming style, i made it for me in the first place. I can't satisfy everybody.

I think the ammo for the PAK and the mortar (haven't tried out the howitzer yet) is way too expensive to make. Takes tons of resources, and then you get a single one. With that high cost i expected it to be some sort of bulk recipe that makes at least 5. Getting only 1 was like super disappointing and like "never going to use those guns, not worth it"

I'm not sure if I'm just doing something wrong, but when I look at the hitchance it shows a pawn sitting on a trench tile is not in cover, it shows when a pawn is behind vanilla cover like stone chunks or sandbags correctly, but it shows no cover in a trench, it may just be how rimworld calculates cover though.

Thanks for this mod! I love the idea!

@ Nex_Lupus: Well, sorry I don't think this time invest fits the benefits. I'M already on a different mod with about 300h development.

@Super comrade: Yep, will fix it in my next update.

@ a_oger: Humm, sounds like the moratr is loosing the line of sight again and again. Don't kn ow what could cause that...

having an issue with the mid range mortar where it wont fire, the aiming hemisphere keeps cycling but nothing happens, down to the lack of other complaints i guess its down to conflict on my end so i was just wondering if anyone knows the conflict/ any suggestions as what mechanic could be effecting it. before i trawl through my hundreds of mods

good mod, it looks great for role plays and so but i don't see how i could include this in a colony without forcing it but it well done :)

can you make a mode by chance to force ww1 weapons? that way it feels more ww1?

Oh, alright somebody already said that, not only mg-42 all of the guns sound so loud, i wear off my headphones whenever i use them :D, if you can fix this I would be very glad, other people would be too.

Can I reduce the sound of machine guns that this mod includes, they are simply earraping me.

@ WTG Mandrird:
- About the fire: True thing, but this is hard-coded. Won't change that.
- About the sounds: I will recheck all of them and fix it with the next upcoming update (will add ammo for the mgs.)

@BlueTheFurry: Thanks for your suggestion, but this will not happen. First, this will be really tricky to code and second, it would be a gamebreaker and way to OP.

A Pro would be the obvious High Target Distance of Across several Tiles
A Con would be Slow Deconstruction and Slow Building As well as being Heavy as FUCK

I have a Suggestion
Why not add Railway Cannons that can Destroy Enemy Bases From across the World (Several Tiles)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_railway_artillery

Two more things:

Possible issue, colonists that man machine guns will not try to beat out fires that are next to them or even on them.

Personal preference issue, I haven't checked the other machine guns, but I think the MG-42 sound effect is a bit loud.

@ Keylocke: It somewhat messes around with the thingclasses, hum, but honestly, by seeing these errors: Minor errors, not really effecting the game.

@Da]BSE[WuergerKing : i dunno either, i thought it was from your mod coz the other errors are Scherenfernrohr, but after i disabled your mod, the Abyss_Fence error is still there and i dunno which mod is causing it.

i even asked the discussion board if anyone knows which mod has an Abyss_Fence and nobody is replying.

sorry Keylocke, saw this too late: Ik don'T know what this Abyss_Fence is, but i could not reproduce this bug. Pls. tell me whre this Abyss_Fence is coming from, maybe i can help you then.

@ Mandrid: In playthroughs i did not seem to me that imbalaced, but I changed some parameters. In an upcoming mod, there will be ammonition for the mgs making them pay for every shot. Also, changing the magazines will take its time. But no promise on that...

Cool mod... but I am a little worried about balance.

I'm looking at the MG-42. The MG-42 seems to do about 85 DPS. Compare this to a Masterwork quality Assault Rifle, which only does 15.5 DPS. This seems HUGELY imbalanced.

Similar concerns with the other machine-guns, of course. MG-34 does 48 DPS, and the MG-08/15 does 32 DPS. Feels very game-breaking.

i've been getting this error.

config error in Abyss_Fence has null thingClass
config error in Scherenfernrohr has null thingClass
config error in Scherenfernrohr has components but its thingClass is not a ThingWithComps

@Nocktowl: Thanks for the input, I will rethink accuracy of the PAK.

Im absolutely loving this mod so far, I have my own personal verdun! however I cannot help but feel that the Pak Gun needs an accuracy buff, Every shot fired with it so far has missed the target, which has ranged from a Single inferno cannon aout to fire next to the trench, to a conga line of centipedes slowly walking next to a psychic ship (at around 30 tiles range) So ive gone through half a stack of AP shells with no hits.

@Askeleton: There are plenty mods for roleplaying and combining with Drontline. Sorry, I won't make any Uniforms/guns/factions in near feature.

@Flitzkrieg: Personally, I think vanilla mortar shells are way to cheap. Frontline-Mortar-Ammo is more expensive to fit more the effect of this artillery.

@Ayylien: One can't argue about taste, right?

Very cool idea, but very out of place texture wise, your textures do not fit with rimworlds.

Hey, awesome mod. Question, why are the mortar shells so much more expensive than the vanilla variety? I understand howizters being crazy expensive but the standard mortars cost like 3x the amount of a vanilla mortar shell

NICE !

I dont know why but I want a PKM too

definitely one of the coolest and well done mods for rimworld atm, good job sir!

Uniforms and tech level limits when eh? I wanna do a trench colony now.

Thank you so much!

ah, thnx, btw keep up the good woork. these mods are amazing

It is the Machining Table.

how do u make the howitzer ammo? im guessing one of the crafting stations but cant find which one?
