Allow for train mounted artillery #659

It would be very nice if we could put these guns on trains.

Maybe there could be a train specific gun mount that has a seat to allow a passenger to control the gun?

rbasamoyai commented 2 months ago

It would not be that far of a stretch to make cannon subcontraptions on trains work.

However, the dealbreaker is that loading mechanisms (aside from possibly a manually operated quickfiring breech) would not work at all.

In addition, most redstone does not work easily either, which the Cannon Mount depends on, so this idea is unfortunately infeasible without large change to Create's contraption code.

None can do.

YackMyGack commented 2 months ago

perhaps instead of using redstone and other things for loading mechanisms it could use the train's inventory? moving the cannon could be similar to how the mountable cannons work.

rbasamoyai commented 2 months ago

Redstone is still needed for the firing mechanism.
