welcome aboard.

1. the key SuperWeapon3 doesn't exist. You can take a look in the game.exe with a hex editor to see all available keys.
you can only replace one of the other missiles since a second building with NukeSilo=yes doesn't works.
I wonder how it's even possible for you to select the weapon, while SuperWeapon3 doesn't works.

2. I'm not sure if it's possible to rename the droppods and change them into a different superweapon. (i think this could cause problems with the AI using the droppods)
There actually a lot of researches done how to create a new superweapon, but afaik without a good result.
Maybe one of the experienced superweapon modders can help you further.
You can also take a look here for more information about SW.

Thanks for your advises~

(i think this could cause problems with the AI using the droppods)

Yes,when the AI build this building then the game will show error...
So,I'd better not to change the superweapons~

Its a vein spawning weapon - could be relativ funny...
Mybe you do a workaround? Give a building this weapon, the weapon a high recharge Time and select the target... First you should make GuardRange=0 - the only problem is, that the player won't know, when the weapon is recharged... But I don't know another workaround
That this with the SuperWeapon3= tag works is really surprising...
