SRTS Submod - Warhammer 40k
In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only, war... and some planes...
This is a submod for SRTS Expanded that adds 7 aircraft to the game from the Warhammer 40k universe. From the Imperial Navy, these are the Lightning, Thunderbolt, Avenger, Marauder, and Valkyrie. From the Adeptus Astartes, these are the Stormtalon, Stormhawk, Stormraven, and Thunderhawk.
These aircraft are broken down into three categories:
Fighters - Cheap, small, and fast, these small aircraft are designed to get a single person or small strike team to a nearby destination quickly. Larger fighter aircraft are capable of conducting small bombing runs.
Bombers - It's all in the name. A bomber is a large aircraft capable of conducting devastating bombing runs, with limited capability of doing much else.
Transports - While slow and expensive, and with less bombing capability than a bomber, transport ships are still an essential part of any fleet for getting entire squads or platoons of soldiers across large distances.
If you enjoy the mod please leave a rating, it helps a lot :)
Usage Guide
Prerequisite mod
This requires the
SRTS Expanded mod. Note that this is the v1.4 SRTS, not the v1.3 or earlier version. This submod should work for v1.3 or earlier but I haven't tested that.
Combat Extended Compadibility
This submod is CE compatible, except for bombing. If you launch a bombing run with CE enabled, the aircraft will launch and return without the bombing run occurring. This is a compatibility issue with the base SRTS Expanded mod.
Known Bugs
All aircraft are paintable. However, the paint applies on top of the existing color of the aircraft. For example, if you try to paint a blue aircraft red, it ends up a deep purple. I am troubleshooting this but it may not be fixable, given how painting buildings works in Rimworld.
Please report any other bugs here on the workshop forums.
