[VH] The Iroh: AI Edition
Ever wondered why such an advanced sub as the Iron lacks any AI functionality? Now you get it. Lo and behold: the Iron AI Edition.
The original Iroh is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2602920829
The Iron: AI Edition is simply the famous Iroh with automatic turrets and discharge coil. The original Iroh suits the lone-captain-with-small-crews-and-advanced-ship type of vibe very well for me, and I am pushing it further. I try to keep the overall appearance very similar to the original Iroh and only change designs/decors if absolutely necessary.
I also include a heavily modified version: Iroh Full Load. The main difference is that the Full Load version has a remote control gun drone for those cave moments.
- 4 AI controlled turrets with long tracking range (longer than people can aim)
- Safety mode for the turret AI where it stops firing when a human is present in the turret’s firing arc
- Automatic discharge coil that activates when a creature contacts the front of the ship
- Automatic reactor that never explodes
- Searchlights automatically sway in cargo gun mode and stops in the searchlight mode
- Toggles on the navigation terminal for the turret AI and safety mode
- Toggle on the weapon terminal for the automatic discharge coil (Normal version only)
- Gun drone with a laser and a storage space accessible from the top, controllable from the weapon terminal (Full Load version only)
- Toggle on the weapon terminal to switch drone navigation modes: sonar vs camera (Full Load version only)
- Periscope on the weapon terminal (lower-right panel) to control the drone or the drone’s weapon (Full Load version only)
- Emergency battery with increased capacity that automatically toggles on when the fuel depletes (Full Load version only)
1. Great thanks to Quint for his Iroh. I haven’t played long but it’s my favorite ship.
2. Great thanks to 江奈 for his Dagger, another awesome ship. I took great inspiration from (shamelessly copied) his automatic turret system and extended the original design’s range. The Apo-3A Dagger is here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2365108119
3. Great thanks to Davik for his Type 7 Akimbo SG. for the MULE drone design. I constructed the remote-control gun drone entirely based on the MULE. The Akimbo is a excellent carrier-type sub and can be found here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2519843917&searchtext=akimbo
4. Great thanks to The Gaming Nerd for his automatic reactor controller tutorial! You can find the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEfWnL-kyL0
5. Due to technical limitations, the turrets can only target monsters. So you still need to to manually engage during sub to sub combats.
6. WARNING! Due to a lot of motion detectors, the ship has more than twice the amount items than the original Iroh, so performance, especially multiplayer performance, may suffer.
