NPC Cannon Range

Recommended Posts

So when are we going to discuss that NPC Aggro range on Cannons isn't anywhere near the range the cannon can fire?

The agro range setting on the NPC doesn't affect the distance at which they agro on the cannon... the cannon has High, Med, and low... If you place a cannon the NPC will only shoot at you after you enter a certain radius... even though the cannon can be manually fired twice that distance.

This.

Its the same with each type of weapons like this. That´s why NPC cannons / ballistas etc. do nothing against cannon bears. It sucks.

This is exactly the point I am trying to make so the devs can make quality changes instead of this bullcrap they been working on..

This would mean that you dont need to place NPC cannons, right ?

Offline raiders can easily take them out by firing at max range, correct ?

Correct, Ships, and Cannon mounts could be manually fired to render NPC defenses completely useless.

Ye, that type of defence only slows them. They can't go directly to your base if your def tower is between you and a base but it does nothing to them if they stay out of NPC range. 

God bless Colonies with offline protection now.
