NO MORE AUTO TURRETs... I think the current ones should have thier prices doubled or somthing & that you shouldn't add more turrents

[Canute]

Mod to look into: AstroTecLabs: off-world mining.
I'm not sure if it would be balanced, but looks interesting and could help expand the usage of more metals in the production cycles (too many steel parts needed), by making them more accessible. I have not tried it personally, but just wanted to bring it to your attention.

This mod only would made sence if we didn't got allready the mining drills.

Re turrets: I'm a base builder, i like turrets. I want autoturrets, and i don't care what i have to do.

If you really don't like them, then how about moving them to lategame, and making them a part of a larger computer system. maybe in order to make autoturrets work, you need a central AI computer to control them, and cameras for them to see things, etc. Also give them limited ammo! i don't mind having to make or buy ammo for them

 In the original game it was too easy to build them. But once you add a bit of difficulty, people won't bother unless they really want them,

Regarding the miscellaneous turrets that you stick normal guns onto.I don't care whether you like them or not, but you have to fix them. Not fixing a buggy feature because you don't like it is silly.

The poll on the first post seems heavily biased, it's clear what the author wants. But it's also dumb. In a world with bionic limbs, combat robots, mechanoid hives, AI control cores, automated doors, etc. It's really stupid to call automated turrets "unrealistic". They are very realistic, they fit the gameworld perfectly, not having them would be a glaring omission.

[zenfur]

In my opinion auto turrets are important and cool part of this game. I wouldn't remove them.

What we can do is to reduce reliability of them and give tools for raiders to deal with them better. For example, add some weapons which are precise medium range EMP launchers and make EMP work on turrets (if it already does not). It's stunning power may be pretty weak on mechanoids, but considerable for turrets. Or maybe make any EMP damage flick turrets off power and require to flick them on manually.

We can also add a (quite rare) event that (specific) turret's AI is malfunctioning and it shoots at everything what moves until it's resetted. Smart colonists would provide flicking switch in safe place. Also make this event disabled when player has built tactical computer.

Also allowing raiders to be able to cause short circuits while melee attacking any powered device (maybe apart from doors) which would deplete all your batteries and cause traditional zzztt... battery discharge explosion event would help with reducing reliance on electricity.  (unless you have sufficient fuses, then just discharge). Or possibly "damage your grid" and cause mini solar flare type of event.

If you want more economic balance, maybe remove automatic turrets whatsoever, but introduce craftable (probably with AI-core or advanced electronic chips) targeting AI module which can be installed on any turret to make it automatic. If that doesn't work, maybe some kind of drone which can man turrets. It would be great to have something like that, together with ammo dispensers (hoppers) for heavier, artillery weapons.

Also add that raiders often use the chance of solar flare to attack your base when it's without power and your electric defenses are down.

Such as drones are great addition for the game, so is automating turrets and I wouldn't remove this great part out of the game.

Also I agree with Nanako.

I can post changelog for 1.12, but in Russian (what is already done). Can you help me to translate into english? Because the translation is time-consuming that i would have to spend for work. There are about 60 lines.

I can if I have free time. But I can't promise about it. Also my english is far from ideal.

[zenfur]

I very appreciate you did great job sorting all mods' stuff into well fitted tabs. I have one request though, could you create separate category for bows?

[MarvinKosh]

My approach to turrets in the Hot and Cold pack was this - give the player a good alternative to the default turret. So I have turrets which you can craft at a smithing bench, upgrade at the smithing bench, have limited range and firepower but can take more punishment because basically they're not squishy like colonists.

[Uglyr]

My position about auto-turrets: they should be and should be expensive and tech consuming. So early game you fight only using colonists and in late game auto-turrets help (but not replace) colonists to fight hordes of mechanoids.

[zenfur]

Oh, also one minor thing: coffee and rainbow petals (spectago plant) aren't in "cooking stuffs" category (which could be renamed "cooking ingredients" tbh)

spectago is used for 2 things: spectago tea and painting

Stun gun and stun grenade are in "Others" instead "Weapons" in inventory menu.

[Red Perversion]

I still need help with where to build the MANNED turrets, please!

They are in security tab with M letter. The research path for them is Security: path. Probably they are as early as in battle platforms.

I agree that all research is very obscure and should get upgrade in both in-game view and description.

Thanks for reply mate, BUT have you LOOKED at the COMPONENTS required under Security path of Architect? I already got them researched, I got them in Security tab, but you can't construct them from Security tab as far as I can see. I.e. to build a Vulcan it requires you to have 1 x Vulcan package. Where do you make those packages apart from looting or buying them from traders?
