Firework Launcher

Firework Launcher
Data Controls:	[create] (?)

The Firework Launcher is a decorative block that was added in Update 1.203.5 to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Space Engineers. It's a stationary flare launcher for signalling or for putting up a spectacle. The fireworks are shot into various upwards angles and can ricochet off walls, floors, and ceilings, which can do minor damage.

On its topside, the large grid variant has 32 launchers, this means it can shoot at most 32 fireworks in a row before having to reload. The small grid variant can shoot 9 times.

Construction

The Launcher can be built on stations, large ships, and small ships and takes up 1x1x1 blocks of volume. It takes 200 W to function. The large grid block has an inventory of 32 litres, and the small grid of 6 litres, which can only hold flares and fireworks. It does not connect to the conveyor system.

Usage

To use its function as a launcher, you must charge the block with Fireworks or Flares as ammo and power the block.

1. Produce the ammo in an Assembler
2. To place the ammo into the launcher's inventory, aim at it from above, and LMB-click or press (I key).
3. Open the launcher's Control Panel Screen and toggle Shoot to On.

The launcher stops when it's out of fireworks/flares, or when you switch Shoot to off.

Ammunition

Each box contains 9 fireworks of a color type. The fireworks projectiles are not meant to do any damage.
