Help space exploration: meteor defense won't shoot
I've equipped the meteor defense which covers a whole planet with electricity and ammo. It says it is ready but whenever meteorites are falling down on the planet it says no one is ready and they don't shoot as well. Can anybody help me with this issue?

Any tips how I can fix it?

Save
Try this console commad:
/c __space-exploration__ global.forces[game.player.force.name].has_players = true

It will only work for newly placed cannons.

Can you take a screenshot while your mouse is over one of those cannons and paste it here? i have few ideas what might be wrong and that screenshot would answer to all of them

once you have uploaded the screenshot then from top left on steam, view -> screenshots -> view online library -> open the screenshot and copy its url address and paste it here.
You're using the more advanced planet-wide version, right? Not the smaller, localized defense?

I can't open those links, probably issues with privacy settings. Either way, does your meteor turrets look like this?

I am not an expert on SE by any means but my meteor defences (which do shoot down meteors) have the "disabled by script" status (which is supposed to happen according to reddit) instead of the "working" status displayed in your screenshot. I would start looking there.

Yes now they work, there seems to be something wrong with your turret, See that green circle? it should be red, not green and say "disabled by script". Try removing it and placing again.

Also do you have modded big power pole? because it shouldn't reach your turret from that position

Removing and replacing does not work. I don't have a modded big power pole I just forgot to place it

Since the latest version of SE works for me and 0.5.103 does not work for you I would try updating the mod.
