Improvised Turret

Improvised turrets are rudimentary defenses that can be build from the start of the game.

Name Build Time Metal Cost Power Usage Flammable Beauty Has Gun Range Accuracy HP Speed Damage Fire Rate Time between shots Spin up time
Auto-turret 1000 160 350 100% Ugly L-15 LMG 25.9 3 140 70 7 3 8 ticks 180 Ticks

Improvised turrets can be build to defend your colony, they will automatically target human entities. Turrets will only acquire animal targets if they have gone crazy.

Turret goes critical

Upon taking lethal damage, turrets will explode (doing damage) and destroying most objects around. The explosion radius is three units. This explosion will instantly destroy any sandbag in the vicinity.

A note on explosion damage

The explosion is not pretty, it can destroy a good game quick.

I set up a little experiment, to test the damage and explosion radius. Building up an 11x11 square of sandbags, with a turret in the center, I placed 4 colonists around the turret and had them shoot the turret. This allowed me to get a look at the explosion radius, and damage of the explosion.

▩ = Sandbags
▣ = Turret
◍ = Colonist aka "Scientists" ̈(test subjects)

The end result was it did and average of 75 damage to each of the four shooters. This isn't an exact science. Suffice to say, if your in the middle of a firefight and one goes off, you may lose anyone within range.

So be careful
