Kinetic Ordinance Overdrive Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
Does Kinetic Ordinance Overdrive work without Create Big Cannons?
No, this mod is an addon that directly extends Create Big Cannons. You need Create Big Cannons installed to build the standard artillery barrels and obtain the base components like fuzes and tracers.
How do I load shells into a Shell Holder?
Place the Shell Holder on the ground like a normal block, then right-click it while holding your chosen cannon shells. Before picking it up to load into a cannon, right-click the holder with a fuze and a tracer to set its mid-air detonation timing.
How do I take a shell back out of a Shell Holder if I loaded the wrong one?
Sneak and right-click the placed Shell Holder with an empty hand. This will remove the last shell you loaded into the container.
How do I build and fire a ground rocket using the Launchpad?
Place a Launchpad block on the ground, stack up to 3 powder charges directly on top of it, and place your chosen artillery shell on the very top. Apply a redstone signal to the Launchpad to ignite the charges and launch the rocket.
What do the different colors and Mk tiers on the shells and powder charges mean?
The colors indicate the progressive upgrade tier of the ammunition, which multiplies damage, armor penetration, or muzzle velocity. The tiers scale from Mk.I (Orange, 3x multiplier), Mk.II (Red, 5x), Mk.III (Violet, 10x), and Mk.IV (Cyan, 15x) up to Mk.V (Gold, 20x).
Why isn't my Shell Holder splitting into cluster bombs in the air?
Make sure you attached a fuze to the Shell Holder before loading it into your cannon barrel. Without a fuze to trigger mid-air detonation, the container will not deploy its stored sub-munitions during flight.
What kinds of ammo can I put inside a Shell Holder?
You can load any standard artillery round into a Shell Holder to create custom cluster strikes. This includes upgraded tier variants of armor-piercing, high-explosive, mortar, shrapnel, and smoke rounds.
How do I increase the range and projectile speed of my cannons?
Use the mod's upgraded powder charges instead of standard charges when loading your cannon breech or rocket launchpad. Higher-tier charges from Mk.I to Mk.V provide increasingly faster muzzle velocity and longer firing range.
Why is my screen warping or changing colors when certain shells explode?
You or another player are firing Exotic Shader Shells, which apply custom visual distortion effects on impact. Rounds like the Singularity Shell, Vortex Shell, and Disintegration Shell intentionally warp light, split colors, or dissolve pixels around the blast area.
What are the strongest explosive shells in the mod?
Beyond the gold Mk.V standard shells that offer a 20x stat multiplier, the mod features four doomsday munitions. These include tactical Mini H-Bombs and full-scale nuclear shells designed for maximum area destruction.
