Mini-turret help.

[Tiltowait]

So I've researched built and powered them. Then I watched the maintenance drop to 0 while the colonist walk by and now they have the flashing red explosion (broken). However I cannot for the life of me figure out how to repair them. The colonists will repair the wall next to them, mine ore next door, etc...but ignore the turrets.

Help?

I do have the colony manager mod and everyone with a decent skill is assigned to both repair and rearm.

you need component to repair them.

So when you right click on the turret nothing happens?

[vurt]

make sure you have component, click colonist (to repair), right click "repair" on turret.

In addition to needing spare components in storage, the turrets also need to be in the home zone or colonists will ignore them.

I had recently started up the game after a long break (numerous version changes in between) and ended up caught out by over extending my base to early, I didn't check the tech tree to realise about getting the Fabrication bench up (to make components from raw steel) and ended up with no components to finish the Research Analyser while the rest of the base started to fall into repair.

I ended up having to scrap my turrets to regain some of the materials to finish the Research Analyser and then do the Fabrication research. Once that was done I managed to get back on track keeping the base in repair.

So if you are in the same boat, sacrifice the turrets that require repairing and aim to finish the research and building off before replacing them as it helps alot.

Check if its in the home zone. Colonists won't repair anything outside of it, and if you've described it correctly, the zone might have ended right at the wall.
