Turret Bug

[Corp. Hunter2042]

Placing turrets on my wall, and manning them afterward, causes the turret to spin around facing the toon manning it, and his portrait goes into combat mode. He is in combat... with himself.

Not sure if this will work, but here's a picture.

For future reference here is how to post Steam screenshots. The picture shows up in the thread and others do not need to click a 3rd party link. You only need to ensure setup once then it is as simple as F12 > Copy > Paste.

Thanks man. I initially attempted to get a screenshot, (about 15 seconds ago) and it's not happening now. Will update with a screenshot when it happens again.

[Corp. Hunter2042]

Yeah it hasn't happened again... so far. Maybe they uh, fixed it?

If you have your settings correct and your profile pics not set to private it should work. I do not fiddle with profile settings much so not sure about the privacy settings.

If it is working there will be an audio tone when you press F12. You can hear the screenshot happening. At least it is an option in settings. Steam > Settings > In Game.

No, when I said "it's not happening now" I meant the bug I initially described. I got it to repeat a couple times, sort of. They were targeting an out of range crab though so it wasn't the same, thus I didn't screenshot it.

I'm sure your suggestion will work when I need it. If not I'll tinker around with whatever settings until it does but, I haven't messed with any privacy settings so it should be fine.

As for the bug, I know they weren't targeting anything the first few times it happened because I didn't even know how to use the damned mounted crossbows yet lol.
I would set up a character to man it with the game paused, unpause it, character runs to man it, after a 1-3 second pause where everything seemed fine, the crossbow would swivel around facing the character, and he would enter combat mode.

Since then I've found multiple other bugs though, characters standing around when they have a build job and all the necessary supplies available, among other things. So I don't know how important this is to the devs to fix, if they're concerned about fixing anything at all, since the game is relatively old now. :(

Sometimes the turrets will target an animal or other live thing beyond your visual range. You may have to scroll around a bit. But also, things can be funky in the game due to the cobbled together spaghetti code and old engine.

Our hope is Kenshi 2, which is being developed now will have vast improvements.

[Corp. Hunter2042]

Weird. I always have to manually target unless something is attacking. Nothing here attacks, there was only one group of "Blooded Reavers" but it was scripted. The crabs will attack my people, but not my gate unless I attack them first.

Found another annoying bug... when you build something, and then decide against it, and disassemble it, it only removes the graphic sometimes. The mesh is still there. So your character is getting stuck on invisible things that should no longer be there... -_-

Save and reload will remove them. Def annoying though.

[GIJoe597]

One thing to avoid with Kenshi is loading a save from within the game. Game has issues when you do that. It is suggested to always exit the game, then load a save from the menu.

[Corp. Hunter2042]

Ah. It's too bad Kenshi has so many problems. It's a pretty killer game otherwise.

EDIT: Just now read your bit about Kenshi 2. Yeah that sounds awesome. Can't wait. I got this game a long time ago, played it for a bit then set it down. Recently picked it back up.

my turret guys were stuck in combat because one of the canibals somehow got inside my wall i had to tear it down kill him and rebuild it since then the turret guards work fine

[Corp. Hunter2042]

You ever kill something and have it fly 300 yards into the air? Happens to me all the time lol.

I'm sad. I got a nice base built up... and the game started sending these groups of crab men at me... like once a day. I have 10 gates set up so they get stopped up. They made it to the tenth gate. I don't even have time to upgrade my turrets. The game screwed me over. I put so much time into this base... now I'm probably gonna have to abandon it. I have so many supplies... tons of cats worth of stuff. Just gonna have to leave it all. Pretty upset. It would be ok if I could upgrade my turrets to II like u can the harpoon guns... but it doesn't let me... even though I've got all of it researched.

[Tralalakk]

you could hire mercseneries to protect it if you have the cats
