Delivery cannon

The Delivery cannon launches full stacks of the selected material at high velocity, with a launch time of 5 seconds plus a variable recharge time based on distance. First, select the target surface within the current solar system, then choose destination coordinates. A Delivery cannon chest can prevent damaging structures and creatures at the destination, if it has empty space to receive the payload. The Delivery cannon capsule does not survive the journey.

Not all types of items can be delivered via cannon. Cannon-able items include core fragments, raw materials, ingots/plates, barreled liquids, fuels, scrap, and some intermediates.

The delivery cannon has no module slots and is not affected by beacons. The cannon itself has no connection for use in the logic system, but the Delivery cannon chest does. The structures from AAI Signal Transmission can help configure a controller to turn the Delivery cannon inserters on and off based upon destination space.

While the base consumption of the delivery cannon is 100kW, it can use up to 50 MW electricity when recharging after it has been drained by frequent (or distant) launches.
