Gun turret: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 20:30, 10 July 2014

Gun turrets are very basic defensive structures and the easiest way of automatic defense.

Gun turrets are your first defense weapon.
They are cheap and ammunition can be refilled by Inserters.
You can fill the bullets into them by hand. But you should automate that, use a chest, a belt and some inserters to do that job constantly.
They don't need any power to operate (only the inserters to fill them, but you can use burner inserter for that job), so they are not dependent to electricity.
With upgrades (gun + turret defence upgrades) and Piercing rounds magazine gun turrets are a much harder weapon, than laser turrets ( see thread)
