Can we get a tower or a base station for a turret?

[SlashSasha]

As i try building turrets for protection, turrets wont even fire when there is something in there way, like a fence or barricade/wall. So i have no choice to build it outside of the defense perimeter, in which cause it to get steam rolled by those wave of bugs. So I find it pointless building it.

My only way of defense is watch tower and a sniper, and multiple barricade.

What are your thoughts people?

The foundations do raise, but a dedicated defense platform would make sense as we have sniper towers.

One tip to making towers for turrets...

You have to be able to reach them but stairs take too much space. So instead make a foundation step. They can traverse up or down one foundation level. So you can create a stair-step of foundations to make towers.

You don't even need that since survivors can reach the top of any foundation, even a single one, whatever the height, by automatically pulling a ladder from their personal inventory and using it. I never bother to build stairs for my turrets.

I was/am expecting dedicated turret scaffolding. I use foundation but it doesn't really fit in, looks strange. Might try to train my dog to stand still and plonk a turret on that.

Yeah a dedicated turret platform would be nice, which has a built in ladder to climb up and looks nicer than the normal platforms.

Build a two-tile foundation and raise it off the ground. Place the turret, build it, then deconstruct the foundation that doesn't have the turret.
