Spud Gun Turret Aiming?

[GameDog535]

So I've been trying to build a spud gun turret that can aim up and down so i can put it at the top of my base. But i have looked everywhere online and NOTHING useful is there. Please help

Use Intelligentia Mod, and any non-vanilla engine, preferably electric

[go_stalker_666]

vanilla engines don't work very accurately for some reason

If/when Chapter 2 releases, we will get an actual turret seat, as highlighted in Dev Blog 23:

Until then, how much rotation you need will determine what components you use.

If you need full 360 degree yawing, I have had the most success using an individual controller/bearing/button for each direction. Basically, one push button activates a controller which rotates a bearing left, and a second push button activates a controller which rotates another bearing right:

You would repeat this setup for up/down control as well.

If you don't need full 360 yawing, then you are better off using a fully upgraded driver's seat for your left/right control. This allows you to adjust the rotation of a single left/right bearing to + or - 120 degrees, as well as set the speed and bearing lock. You'll still need to use the above mentioned button controller bearings to manage pitching up and down.

or use a seat ball from the F00nt. Just remember, you CAN'T SAVE it! for some reason it doesn't load

Look up "Spud Time V2" by Axdude on the workshop. It's a man-operated turret that's all vanilla, and has the ability to aim side to side and up and down. Maybe you can dissect it and figure out a way to translate those features into your build

Do you need a vanilla turret?

[go_stalker_666]

By turning, you activate the sensors connected to the motors that will turn the turret. and the W S can be connected simply to the seat and the engine

Check out the Scrapman Youtube channel. A good while back he did a speed build challenge in which he made a turret in 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. It should provide a basis for making your own. In Kan gaming's survival play he also made a pretty cool turret that could aim up, down, left, right, but also slid on a rail.

I already checked Kan's channel and it was incredibly hard to get every single thing you require for that because he is a god at survival in that game

But im just trying to make a simple turret that can aim up and down and right and left without going only 3 certain degrees of view

I have figured it out but the controls are not A and D to go right and left
