Extremely Simple Auto AI Turret

This rudimentary auto-turret is designed for easy defense of a farm in survival mode. It uses the bare minimum of resources (the light on the top is optional, but I like that it lets you know the turret's "field of view") so that you can get this deployed in survival. I do recommend building some defenses around it if you have metal to spare, just so the farmbots don't go chomping these fancy electronics. It also requires a spud ammo box connected to the gun, but they don't have those in creative yet for the purpose of making this blueprint.

The switches work as followed:

BLUE: Toggle to "OFF" to ENABLE side to side sweeping for targets.
RED: Toggle to "ON" to ENABLE the firing of the spud gun when a target is in sight.

I encourage you to deploy this turret in creative and play with it and pull it apart and look at the settings to see how it works. The side sensors will turn the turret to point towards and follow anything that has entered its field of view - the bottom sensor tells the gun a target is in firing range, and to shoot!

I hope you find this helpful - obviously it could be a much more effective weapon against incoming farmbots with the addition of more sensors and more complicated programming, but I wanted to make something that would be feasible for a player to get up and running without a ton of grinding for components.
