Current release

Version 0.4.2

The current playtest build makes turret progression an explicit player choice with Veteran Cores, uses real turret-body variants for specialization stats, and keeps a scrollable five-section Evolution list for upgrades, elements, augments, and second-element combos.

What It Does

Veteran Core profiles

Ordinary gun turrets stay stackable until a Veteran Core is installed. The core carries XP, levels, upgrades, elements, and custom name.

Combat feedback

Shows HP, shooting speed, range, loaded ammo, estimated ammo damage, estimated DPS, kills, damage dealt, and quality summaries for affected rows.

Early balance pass

Awards configurable XP from cored turret damage and proportional kill credit, then lets level-earned points buy compact core upgrades and augments.

Playtest Path

Install from the in-game Mods interface, place a vanilla gun turret, add ammo, open it, and confirm the Turret XP panel appears on the right.

Install or dev-create a Veteran Core.
