Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, good damage and use [[Electric network|electricity]] to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). By dealing '''laser damage''' they don't face any resistances ([[enemies]] receive full damage) but have a lower rate of fire than gun turrets. Each shot costs a constant 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.  
Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, infinite ammo, good damage and use [[Electric system|electricity]] to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle).

Each shot costs 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.  


Since using laser turrets to ward off attacks can cause electricity usage spikes, using [[Basic accumulator|accumulators]] to offset the cost is recommended to keep the rest of the network fully functional.
Using laser turrets to ward off attacks can cause electricity usage spikes, these can be offset by using [[accumulator]]s (or [[Storage_tank#Usage_as_.22Energy-tank.22|steam storage]] and excess [[steam turbine]]s).

Laser turrets are an advanced defense building with a longer range, infinite ammo, good damage and use electricity to operate (and a smaller amount of energy when idle). By dealing laser damage, they don't face any resistances (enemies receive full damage) but have a lower rate of fire than gun turrets. Each shot costs 800kJ of energy; as the shooting speed increases through upgrades, so too does the power required to keep firing.

Using laser turrets to ward off attacks can cause electricity usage spikes, these can be offset by using accumulators (or steam storage and excess steam turbines).
