Turrets not working.

[GIGROLL]

My turrets are not working when i did a purifcation, they are fully powered. The enemies just walk straight pass them and they dont do nothing, yesterday they worked fine. Now i have a nice hole in my base, due to walls floor roof etc being destroyed.

Make sure you unhide the wires. They should work then. Press L to do so

you need cameras pointed in that direction so the turrets activate, camera may have been destroyed last time

This is false. Don't "need" cameras for them to work. But the turrets only shoot where they point. They can swivel a few degrees left and right, but they can't shoot behind them.

Also the guns have poor animations and sound effects. I don't even think they have a sound effect. So sometimes it might seem like they are not shooting, but they are.

Go in build mode and fly, see if you can see bullet tracing. And in build mode it will tell you "working" when aiming at the turret. Another thing you can do is make sure you have enough power when all the turrets are on. If all your generators say no surplus watts then you are maxed out.

Another thing is check your wiring. Due note that you can't connect a pylon switch to a pylon switch. The power does not go through. If you have a turret connected to a switch then that switch is connect to another switch, it's not going to work. Switches have to be connected to the grid and can't daisy chain off each other.

You're false
My turrets shoot 360 degrees (with camera)
If his turrets were working fine, and now their not Camera might the reason they aren't responding

If it has no power it's animation and base state is "powered down barrel limp on ground with red text saying no power" Pretty obvious if it was power issue

I've never got them working properly without a camera

I don't use cameras and my turrets work fine. Without camera they only have a 90 degree arc of fire for detection. Camera gives them 360 vision.

What cameras on the turret?

My turrets were 100% healthy no damage at all and yes they are powered, And they definitely weren't shooting as my base was nearly destroyed they just did not shoot at all. Yet the day before they worked fine.

[Jaeger]

Just wanted to add to this as I had the same issue with Turrets not firing, then I put cameras on the outside of the base and the turrets worked 100% perfectly.

[Captain Jack]

Same problem, the turrets dont shoot, no matter how i wire or how i use cameras

[Jaeer]

Same here, no clue why

[Aribad]

I've been thinking that the turret only seeks targets when the server checks on them.

[Zackerie]

not a wiring issue, a game issue. my turrets haven't worked since the patch.

I built new tier 3 turrets and they were okay. Perhaps the old turrets are bugged somehow?

[BigAlGaming1]

I have tier 3 turrets and they are powered but aren't working. I've tried everything from cameras, various of elevations, facing them to the enemies, switching them on and off, dismantle and rebuild them and logging out and back in both closing the game and re logging. I'm out of ideas at this point.

[Gladius Victorius]

For me the Turrets still dont work and not only at my Homebase had today the Quest to start a War . So im in the Zone spent a lot of item to Build a very heavy Deff and even 28 Level 3 Turrets and 2 Gatling Guns Build enough Power for all and then start the war not one Turrets shoot in the entire Fight so i lost after 20 Minutes as my Wall was good enough to hold the enemy back a little bit with Workinkg Turrets that was an easy Win but without Turrets i lost only a lot of Item and thing i Farm for weeks . So that mean the turret Bug is for me everywhere not only in my Base

[K1_CriticalGamer]

have same problem hope they fix it
