Object description

Space Age expansion exclusive feature.

The rocket turret is a powerful defensive building capable of firing any rocket ammo at high range. It is unlocked with agricultural science packs which can be crafted on Gleba. The rocket turret has a minimum range, so it is best paired with other turrets that can pick off enemies who get too close. Its high range and damage make it particularly effective against large asteroids in space and stompers on Gleba. The turret's rotational and firing speeds are fairly slow.

Rocket turrets can fire all kinds of rocket ammo, including atomic bombs and capture bot rockets. However, when firing atomic bombs, rocket turrets do not get the usual range increase that the hand-held rocket launcher or spidertrons get. This means the turret will be very close to or inside of the blast radius.

When firing capture bot rockets, a rocket turret will exclusively target biter and spitter spawners, overriding any target priorities it may have.

To one-shot big asteroids (except for promethium asteroids) with standard rockets, stronger explosives (research) level 23 is required.

History

• 2.1.7:
  • Fixed that capture bot rockets would still be fired at a non-spawner target if the turret had that target selected before loading capture bot rockets.

• 2.0.7:
  • Introduced in Space Age expansion.
