Precision Cannon Sights Mod FAQ
10 questions players actually ask, answered.
How do I start using the scope on my cannon?
Hold the Scope Connector and right-click on your cannon's breech block to link them together. Make sure the CBC Scope item is in your inventory, then press = to enter scope view and start aiming.
What's the difference between the two aiming modes?
Press = to aim from directly above the barrel for a bird's-eye view, or press , to switch to muzzle-tip perspective where you're looking straight out from the cannon's firing line.
Can I use the scope on a moving vehicle?
Yes, the scope automatically tracks moving vehicle chassis and adjusting turrets, keeping your aim locked even as the contraption moves and rotates.
How do I change the zoom level?
While aiming through the scope, scroll your mouse wheel to cycle between 2x, 4x, and 8x magnification levels.
What does the reticle style key do?
Press / to cycle through different scope overlay materials and reticle designs to find the sight style that works best for you.
Do I need to keep the scope item in my inventory?
Yes, the CBC Scope item must remain in your inventory for the scope to function; if you drop it or move it to a container, the scope will stop working.
How do I unlink the scope from a cannon?
Hold Shift and right-click the cannon block with the Scope Connector to unbind it and link to a different cannon.
Can I use the scope on any cannon block?
The scope works with any artillery block from Create Big Cannons, though right-clicking the breech block is recommended for the most accurate aiming.
What if the scope view doesn't update when my turret rotates?
Make sure the cannon is mounted on a moving vehicle chassis; the scope only tracks tilt and rotation on physical contraptions, not stationary blocks.
How do I exit the scope view?
Press the aim key (= by default) again to exit scope view and return to normal gameplay.
