Description:

The mod changes Mine Layer Towers and allows the player to change the action area of mine layer drones.
The mod changes Mine Layer Towers and allows the player to select the types of mines to place.

To change the drone action area, select the building (the action building menu appears), move the cursor to the point and move the mouse wheel down.

Mine Layer Towers changes will only be applied to newly built towers and to towers that have been upgraded.
Existing towers will continue to operate as before.
Existing towers do not have mod slots component (EquipmentComponent).
This is done so as not to break the work of other towers from other game mods that use the tower_mine_layer script.
To make tower changes work, just upgrade existing towers or sell and rebuild existing towers.

——————————————————————————————————

The mod adds mod slots to Mine Layer Towers:
– Level 1 has 1 slots
– Level 2 has 2 slots
– Level 3 has 3 slots

The mod slots can be filled with a mine type mod:
– Small Mine
– Acid Mine
– Cryogenic Mine
– Energy Mine
– Gas Mine
– Gravity Mine
– Holo Mine
– Incendiary Mine
– Nuclear Mine
– Sonic Mine
The default mine type is Small Mine. If the mod slot is not filled, Small Mines will be placed.

Icons and names of mods are displayed above towers in build mode.

The mod adds new research tree that unlocks new mine types.
New research will be automatically completed when required research is completed.

All types of mines require research "Heavy Artillery Towers – Level 1".
Mine types require the following research or global awards:
– Small Mine does not require other researches
– Acid Mine require "Corrosive Gun – Standard" research
– Cryogenic Mine require "Cryogenic Mine – Standard" research
– Energy Mine require "Energy Weapons – Standard" research
