The Railgun turret is a powerful late-game turret, unlocked with cryogenic science packs. They require both power and railgun ammo to function.
The railgun turret has a limited firing arc of 72°. To compensate for this, it can be placed in one of 8 directions.
The turret does massive damage to all entities and structures in its line of fire. Any buildings in its firing arc are unlikely to survive (including walls).
Railgun turrets are very effective against huge asteroids, as the damage of railgun ammo easily beats their flat physical resistance. In fact, it only takes the second level of railgun damage research to be able to destroy all asteroid sizes in one shot. It is also quite useful against Demolishers, especially when fired directly down their bodies, as shells can hit multiple segments at once.
