I don't think you can have a fourth weapon, at least to the best of my knowledge.

There are ways you can improvise on the other hand, like using WeaponSetUpgrade in the same way as the Worker's CommandSetUpgrade. That is, pressing an upgrade button which changes the WeaponSet, then you can press another button to change it again, but at the same time will remove the previous upgrade so it can be used again. You would still only have a max of 3 weapons at a time, but at least you can allow the object to access more than three.

You can always have more than one WeaponSet anyway, but you need an upgrade or status change (eg, CombatBike) to switch between them.

In addition, you can also use behaviour modules to use weapons, such a SpecialAbility.

Another option is to use the Overlord/HelixContain module so that you can include a contained object within the main object, thus allowing you to have as many weapons as there are objects, x3. Take the Helix & Overlord and their Gattling weapon as a prime example.

Directly, yes, there's only three weapon slots. However, as MereMortal said, there's plenty of ways to add more.

The best for your situation is probably using an OCL and a contained object - the Gattling Cannon Overlord method.

Well, it's a good thing if you and can persevere, learning by trial & error. Otherwise it's a waste of time, whichever applies to you ;)

It's a waste of time anyway :p I've thrown away so much time on this stuff... well, it is fun and there is learning involved. I guess that makes it a non-waste of time?

so it is or is not a waste of time
