How do I connect my cannon to the scope for the first time?
Right-click your assembled cannon with the 
Scope Connector item while standing near it. The Scope Connector must remain in your inventory or backpack for the connection to stay active—dropping it will disconnect the scope.

Movement inputs are intentionally blocked while scoped to prevent accidentally walking into obstacles or off cliffs while aiming. This is a safety feature and cannot be disabled.
What's the difference between the two reticle styles?
The mod offers two switchable scope overlays with different visual designs; you can toggle between them to find the style that works best for your targeting preference. Both show the true muzzle direction and work identically for aiming.
Does head aiming mode let me aim independently of the cannon?
Head aiming mode (press H) lets you guide where the cannon points using your mouse, but the cannon will only turn if it's not already being rotated by gear mechanisms. If gears are actively turning the turret, head aiming pauses automatically.
Can I use the scope with cannon carts and compact mounts?
Yes, the scope works with original cannon mounts, fixed mounts, cannon carts, and compact mounts. Connect the Scope Connector to any of these assembled artillery pieces the same way.

The linked range indicators display distance information to help you judge how far your target is from your cannon position. This helps with shot planning but does not automatically adjust your aim.
Can I rebind the scope keys to different buttons?
Yes, the mod supports custom keybindings for opening the scope view, activating head aiming, zooming, and firing. Check your controls settings to customize these bindings.
Why does my cannon stop responding to the scope sometimes?
Make sure the Scope Connector is still in your inventory—if you dropped it or put it in a chest, the connection breaks. Also verify the cannon is fully assembled and not obstructed.

You can fire and aim remotely without standing next to the cannon, but there are likely distance limits based on how the mod loads chunks. Staying reasonably close ensures reliable control.
Can I use zoom levels while in head aiming mode?
Yes, you can scroll the mouse wheel to adjust zoom (2x, 4x, and 8x magnification) while in head aiming mode to fine-tune your aim on distant targets.
