About this Mod
CBC: Firepower Components
CBC: Firepower Components is a small addon for Create Big Cannons. It adds a few compact blocks for building tighter cannon setups and handling ammunition with Create-style automation.
Features
- Compact Cannon Mount - a one-block side-mounted mount for big cannons.
- Compact Autocannon Mount - a smaller 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 Cannon 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.
Note
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.
