Turrets

Turrets provide a way to automagically fire a laser gun, with a slight increase to fire rate. Turrets also incur a slight energy cost to fire (200 RF by default).

Crafting

To craft a turret, you'll need:

• 1 piece of Laserite
• 1 Thermal Expansion Machine Frame
• 1 Thermal Expansion Redstone Reception Coil
• 4 iron ingots

The GUI

The GUI provides a way to change the turret's settings.

Components:

• Owner's Name (green)

  • The owner of the turret is displayed in the title of the GUI. Anyone can see the settings, but only the owner can confirm any changes made.

• Power Information (orange)

  • The energy bar shows the current energy level of the turret.
  • The inventory slot is where the gun goes. Only laser guns can be placed in here (or piped in with something).
  • The RF usage per tick and per shot is also shown here.

• Target Button (purple)

  • Clicking this button cycles between possible options for the turret to shoot at. They are:
    • None
    • Mobs
    • Players
    • Mobs and Players
  • This value will only be saved when the "Confirm" button is clicked.

• Value Sliders (blue)

  • Each of the four sliders control one of the turret's settings. They are, in order of top to bottom:
    • Range (1 - 20 blocks)
    • Damage modifier (0.1x to 2.0x)
    • Accuracy modifier (0.1x to 2.0x)
    • Cooldown modifier (0.1x to 2.0x)
  • Changing these sliders will update the information in the Power Information section.
  • These values will only be saved when the "Confirm" button is clicked.

Power Usage

Turrets use some power each tick, as well as per each shot. The formula are as follows:

RF per tick = 5 + range^2

RF per shot = 200 * damageModifier * (1 + accuracyModifier)^(1 + cooldownModifier) + 50
