The '''improvised turret''' is a stationary defense mechanism which fires at any enemy pawns which enter its firing range. It will automatically target any [[raiders]] or [[Animals|psychotic animals]] which enter within a 25 square radius around the turret. The turret is a 3-round burst weapon with a moderate warm-up time and rather lengthy reload. While somewhat weak on its own, large groups or turrets are able to incapacitate or kill hostiles within second
The turret can be upgraded to a 4-round burst through [[Research|researching Gun Turret Cooling]] at a [[research bench]].


When the hit points of the turret drop to 28 or less, a metallic sound will be heard and it will begin to spark. Shortly thereafter, the turret will explode, wounding all pawns and causing 300 damage to all [[structure]]s within the blast radius. Placing two turrets within blast range of one another may cause both turrets to explode in a chain if there is no wall in the way of the blast. For this reason, it is not recommended to place colonists, turrets, load-bearing [[Structures|walls]], or important [[power conduit]]s within a three-square radius of a turret. Turrets do not benefit from cover, but their relative durability offsets this partially.


Used alone or in small numbers, turrets do not provide much additional firepower. However, raiders will target the turret instead of the colonists if it is closer to them, shielding the colonists from harm until the turret is destroyed. However, the firepower of the turrets adds up when massed together, to the point where turrets alone can beat back even massive raids. Larger colonies often build a "killbox", an entrance area designed to funnel raiders where turrets can do maximum damage while raiders' own ability to fight back is minimized.

While somewhat weak on its own, large groups or turrets are able to incapacitate or kill hostiles within second
-Mini-turrets can be constructed once the [[Research#{{P|Required Research}}|{{P|Required Research}}]] research project has been completed. They require {{Required Resources}}, {{Ticks|{{P|Work To Make}}}} of work, and a [[{{P|Skill 1}}]] skill of {{P|Skill 1 Level}}.
+The turret can be upgraded to a 4-round burst through [[Research|researching Gun Turret Cooling]] at a [[research bench]].
-Alternatively, turrets can be uninstalled and looted from various world sites.
-== Summary ==
+When the hit points of the turret drop to 28 or less, a metallic sound will be heard and it will begin to spark. Shortly thereafter, the turret will explode, wounding all pawns and causing 300 damage to all [[structure]]s within the blast radius. Placing two turrets within blast range of one another may cause both turrets to explode in a chain if there is no wall in the way of the blast. For this reason, it is not recommended to place colonists, turrets, load-bearing [[Structures|walls]], or important [[power conduit]]s within a three-square radius of a turret. Turrets do not benefit from cover, but their relative durability offsets this partially.
-The mini-turret uses the [[mini-turret gun]] weapon. In addition to the weapon's accuracy, the turret itself has a per-tile [[shooting accuracy]] of 96% or equivalent to a [[Shooting]] skill of 8. It fires a 2-round burst, with no need for warmup, but with a slow 4.8 second cooldown.  It has a maximum range of {{P|Range}} tiles.
-After firing 60 rounds, it needs to be reloaded with {{Icon Small|Steel||80}} [[steel]] by a hauler. This can be adjusted in the [[storyteller settings]], but all default [[difficulty]] settings do not alter this.
-Mini-turrets ''do'' benefit from [[cover]], following the usual rules of adjacency and angle. The long standing bug regarding this mechanic has since been resolved as confirmed through empirical testing.<!-- This bug was, as mentioned, long standing, but also had been claimed to be fixed several times and had a number of compounding factors confusing the issue, such as displaying a non-existent accuracy penalty. Leave the clarification in for the near future - Harakoni -->

-Like all turrets, they cannot target enemies through [[blind smoke]] and are temporarily disabled by sources of [[EMP]], with downtime scaling to the EMP damage dealt. Unlike mechanoids, turrets do not adapt to EMP and thus can be continuously restunned.

-=== Explosion ===
+[[File:Turret explosion radius.jpg]]
-Mini-turrets have a 50% chance to explode when damaged below 20% health. The exploding turret will spark and emit a hissing sound for {{Ticks|240}} before exploding, dealing 50 [[Damage Types#Bomb|Bomb damage]] in a 3.9 tile radius centered around the lower left tile of the turret. Bomb damage is multiplied 8x against [[wall]]s, 4x against other impassable structures and plants, and 2x against passable buildings. All nearby raiders will attempt to move out of the blast radius before detonation.

-== Analysis ==
-{{See also|Defense structures#Turrets}}
-A single turret isn't much firepower. Each mini-turret is roughly equal to a good [[short bow]] or normal [[recurve bow]] shot with 8 Shooting skill. Even when massed up, turrets are unlikely to handle raids on their own. But they can be useful.
-* In large numbers, turrets do add up. A group of turrets, ''when combined with colonists'', can make a meaningful difference.
-* Mini-turrets are great as decoys. If a turret is closer to an enemy, enemies will often target it over your colonists. It's better for a [[doomsday rocket launcher]] to hit a turret than a colonist. Turning a turret's power off (such as with a [[power switch]]) will prevent [[manhunter]]s from attacking them.
-: Turrets can also be used as explosive bait. While [[IED trap]]s are generally more efficient, a turret that happens to explode will severely damage any enemy in melee range.
+Video demonstration:[http://youtu.be/FKiICV1xh2g RimWorld Improvised Turret - Explosion Concepts & Mechanics-Demo & Explanation]
-[[Killbox]] structures are natural fits for turrets. Killboxes funnel enemies into 1 place, allowing you to take full advantage of your turrets' firepower. In a killbox or not, you'll want to place turrets at least 4 tiles apart. Otherwise, a single explosion can cause a chain reaction, and destroy all your mini-turrets.
-Enemies that are ''unusually clever'', as well as [[sapper]]s in general, will try and avoid a turret's line of sight. While this might seem like a bad thing, a lategame colony can place mini-turrets where you ''don't'' want sappers or breachers to go. Even if your main killbox uses turrets, you can place another, turret-less killbox near your colonist's bedrooms in order to lure sappers in.
-=== Material ===
+{{nav|security|wide}}
-{{Rewrite|section=1|reason=Make into proper paragraphs, expand etc}}
+[[Category:Security]]
-* You should expect turrets to be frequently replaced.
-* Steel is the most viable option early-game, but steel turrets aren't durable and won't survive sustained firepower.
-* The most effective material is nominally plasteel. It has the most HP and is non-flammable. However, it is relatively high cost and is typically in high demand in armor, bionics, etc. Uranium is commonly received as a quest reward and is significantly less in demand, while offering similar performance.
-* As mini-turrets only require {{Icon Small|Stuff||{{P|Resource 1 Amount}}}} [[stuff]], the cost of upgrading is relatively minor. Not including work to build, uranium only increases the cost by {{Icon Small|Silver||{{#expr: {{P|Resource 1 Amount}} * ({{Q|Uranium|Market Value Base #}} - {{Q|Steel|Market Value Base #}})}}}} while making the mini-turret significantly less likely to be destroyed. If the upgrade prevents destruction a single time, it has more than paid for itself. Should mini-turrets be retained past the early game, it is strongly suggested to upgrade them to uranium. Notably, either Uranium and Plasteel are required to withstand a single standard explosion without destruction, and the effect of the chance to wick at 20% health further incentivizes higher HP pools.

-== Version history ==
-* [[Version/0.2.363|0.2.363]] - Made turret look and sound weak to match its functionality.
-* Alpha 3 - '''Auto-turret''' renamed to '''Improvised Turret'''.
-* [[Version/0.19.2009|0.19.2009]] - Renamed from '''Improvised turret''' to '''mini-turret'''. Power decreased from 350W and cost decreased, but now requires barrel changes.
-* 1.1 - Nerfed to fire a 2-round burst, down from 3.
-* [[Version/1.1.2569|1.1.2569]] - Range increased from 25 to 29.
-* [[Version/1.1.2618|1.1.2618]] - Reload cost was doubled and the fuel capacity was halved, while the damage was increased to 11 from 10.
-* [[Version/1.3.3200|1.3.3200]] - Damage increased from 11 to 12. Accuracy increased: touch 0.7 -> 0.77, short 0.64 -> 0.7, medium 0.41 -> 0.45, long 0.22 -> 0.24. Turret ammo cost is no longer factored by difficulty (previously: Adventure Story and below reduced cost).
-* Between [[Version/1.3.3117|1.3.3117]] and 1.4.3580 - Turrets now properly benefit from [[cover]]. Despite displaying in the mouse-over box as such, empirical testing demonstrated that mini-turrets did not benefit at all.<ref>https://i.imgur.com/mq4aojR.mp4</ref>
