CBC: Firepower Components
- By
CBC: Firepower Components is a small Create Big Cannons addon that adds compact cannon mounts and practical ammunition-handling blocks for tighter, easier-to-automate artillery builds.
Crafting recipe for the Compact Cannon Mount, a one-block side-mounted cannon mount for Create Big Cannons artillery setups.
The protruding shaft marks the side where the cannon or autocannon should be placed before assembly. Use a wrench to change the mount axis and swap the assembly and firing faces.
Crafting recipe for the Compact Autocannon Mount, **a lighter mount made specifically for autocannons**.
Crafted with either a hopper/ andesite funnel. When placed next to a Compact Autocannon Mount, the feed belt automatically faces and connects to the mount, letting hoppers, mechanical arms, and similar automation insert loose autocannon rounds.
The initial block set: Compact Cannon Mount, Compact Autocannon Mount, Autocannon Ammo Feed, and Cannon Magazine Loader.
Description
CBC: Firepower Components is a small addon for Create Big Cannons. It adds a few compact blocks for cannon setups where the normal mount and loading layout takes more space than you want.
The current release includes:
- Compact Cannon Mount - a one-block side-mounted mount for big cannons.
- Compact Autocannon Mount - a compact mount for autocannons and handle autocannons.
- Autocannon Ammo Feed - feeds loose autocannon rounds into adjacent assembled compact autocannon mounts.
- Cannon Magazine Loader - a three-round external magazine for assembled big cannon mounts.
The magazine loader accepts projectile and powered-cartridge pairs, waits until all three rounds are ready, then feeds the mounted cannon. Spent empty big cartridges can be extracted from the sides, back, or bottom with normal item automation.
This mod is meant to stay close to Create Big Cannons in both function and visual style. Since art and modeling are not my strong suit, most of the visual assets were made with AI assistance and then adjusted for the mod.
Required dependencies:
- Create
- Create Big Cannons
