Mounted turrets and autoturrets

[Evul]

I noticed in the changelog that is now exsist artillery and now also mounted turrets replacing the old autoturrent system. Will we still be able to have auto targeting turrets simple or do we have to program them?

Edit: and will you be able to mount other equipment?

I think you got the changelog wrong. It says:

Turrets can now require manning to work. This is the case for artillery.

I think what this means is, a turret type can require manning (as a concept), and the artillery, which will be added in alpha 5,  does. It does not mean that the current turret requires manning. That is at least what I understood from it.

Oh yeah you right xD
I read the thing wrong... Not the first time xD

with how guns seem to work a manned gun may actually be more effective, a turret seems to have low to no gun skill while a colonist would appear to be more accurate with a comparable weapon. I may be wrong but it would be nice if this was the case.

Indeed, it would turn, big lumbering grenade magnets into veritable machines of death.
