Turrets not working - any of them...
No turret is working - powered, put ammo, locked ammo, everything set to track (yellow),
but nothing, no ever shot anything.

I tried to use it manually - it works (using the camera), otherwise nothing, what I am doing wrong?

What entities do you have it set to kill? There are 4 choices if I recall.

Wiring direction matters. Click power supply first then drag wire to turrets. Let me know if that works.

That is exactly what I did, put turret, connected generator (211W) directly to turret, (the small white strips on cables are moving from generator to turret). Put ammo in turret, locked ammo, select target all 4 options, aimed turret where I want to track enemies etc.

I jumped in front of turret - nothing happens, (it even does not track), zombies in front - the same. Turrets are just not working :-/ I also tried the second turret (for 9mm ammo) - the same problem

Personally I run the wire from generator to a relay before sending it to others... When you open up the menu for the turret, are you able to go into the camera, and rotate it around... if so we first know you are actually getting power to it.

Then if you have ammo in the turret, try manual firing it when in the camera mode (just left click usually) to see that it is indeed firing.

Then, when you select target parameters, make sure the ones you want it to track, are highlighted (sort of a dull tan) and not faded or grey.

Didn't know that was a thing. I have 8 turrets at bedrock and they work fine,

That certainly throws a wrench into the solution. The only issue I've found with anything underground is that (on occassion) my trip-wire will actuate causing the dart trap to fire when a zombie isn't in the trip wire, but several blocks above the wire.

Anyone with issues underground leaves me to ask, are your turrets being triggered?
