You do NOT need any special skills to use auto turrets. I use them on my bulky cargo ships and have no skills in any combat related skills beyond shield boost.
I usually have 2 back-facing turrets and 2 side-facing turrets (one for each side), all in a single group. I keep first two weapon groups for manual weapons for better contoll of who and what to shoot. So the turrets take care of ships I am not actively engaging myself or those that outmaneuver mine. This setup is especially good for large and heavy ships with low mobility.
deimos or hopetech, can't remember which, sells a flat plate next to the windows in structure section you can purchase for ships, you can use those to plop down weapons or equipment on.
havent been playing fallout 76 in a few months; when I clicked this video this morning and heard your voice (not realizing this was your video) I literally cheered "ANGRY TURTLE!" its good to be back. love this channel!
The turret placement is really bad. You need to place turret at open areas, where they can turn freely. Your turret is super restricted by other cosmetic things and getting stuck when they are trying to turn and shoot. I have 12 auto turrets on my ship and they didn’t bug once. Easy solution is to flip each and every turret 4 times and make sure it’s not obstructed in any position before placing them.
I like placing them on the raised deimos spines and point two facing every direction. Especially two rear facing turrets for covering fire when retreating.
I think having one set of turrets in a weapon slot is great for big battles, I use the rail guns and strip shields with my lasers, and have EM for the third slot to disable the last ship. The ship building in the game is so fun! I’ve spent over 1m credits customizing haha
They're especially good as broadsides for big 5000+ cargo ships, with over 2K mass and sub 16 maneuverability. I put one on the back and two on the side. So far no bugs. The automated weapons perk also improves autocannons, which is useful. Laser turrets benefit from both the automated & energy weapons perks for example. Which brings them up to par, as by default they do substantially less damage. I chose laser as it keeps their shield regen down and use railguns to punch through the hull and missiles for the bigger ships.
Once again, thanks to Angry Turtle for doing the search for me. I'm trying to build a viable missle ship, and i was thinking a good turret system would be a great backup. Missles are really hard to land, and i'm thinking the best way to use them is as a battering ram. Speed in close and jam them down the enemy's throat. That will take concentration to stay on target. I think this powerful turret system will help out a lot.
Turrets facing backward is actually the best setup for combat ship as you'd want to keep the distance from your enemy. The only way is to always point the thrusters toward your enemy.
You can actually face any direction and still be hightailing it out of there. First tier of Piloting unlocks thruster mode, which when toggled on maintains whatever velocity and heading you had while letting you face whatever whichway you choose while firing maneuvering thrusters for fine control. I actually make use of this in the simulator to cheese wave 6, just pick a heading at the very start and put the pedal to the metal before turning on thruster mode and turning around to take potshots at my pursuers.
i have a ship with nothing but turrets on it... all 11 weapons on the ship are turrets and i have never ran into a single bug with them... they destroy most enemies before i even know the enemies are there.... but i am using higher level turrets than shown in this video... the turrets i use are extremely high level turrets that use 4 power (at least for the most powerful turrets on the ship... the others use 3 power but its the 4 power turrets doing alot of the damage). I have 1 set of turrets for every direction... with my most powerful 4 power cost turrets facing forward for high power burst damage if they are in front and the side turrets hitting anything that survives the burst from my main turrets... so i have 3 high power turrets facing forward and 4 weaker turrets aiming at the left and right side... only my rear is exposed but nothing will stay behind me for long... as my ship has high mobility despite being a large C class ship i can turn really fast if i need to.
I basically use low power on auto turrets to supplement my main turrets with close to max power. I like to put 2 on missiles for some burst damage since (I could be wrong) it only affects the missile cool down.
Be careful in battles where there are friendly ships though. I stopped using these auto turrets because in multiple battles, they tried shooting an enemy ship with a friendly in between me and the enemy ship, which resulted in hitting the friendly, and then the friendly fleet also turning on me. As well as my crew becoming mad at me. Only turrets I could see being useful, are short range turrets like rail guns or cannons, to help kill enemy ships when they're surrounding you in close range.
Problem with the 250MeV is that is has a slow rate of fire and max power of 4, for turrets I like the PBO-300 ,PBO-100 and Disrupter 3340A. Not saying 250MeV is bad, but I prefer more pewpew per second..
I see you're using the "mouse over the mount point and hit G" method to place parts. That's handy, but if you're placing a lot of similar parts try using CTRL+G. That clones the part. It's much, much faster.
Yeah true you need the skill to have that perk cause it keeps saying "messing a weapon assignment" then it says also unassigned weapon" that must be assigned to a group"
The Problem with Auto current is they are limited in range and can move Behind to fire behind you or Above you. I wish they designed them better so they could turn 360 fire above and behind
@@angryturtlegaming True but I have noticed they aren't very accurate in here shoot, which makes a Ship with those weapons leave you vulnerable, It is best to mix your weapon Gear and have the Auto gun target other ships while you shooting at others. That the system I have with a similar game called Rebel
My turrets I use are 22 shield/hull damage and range is either 3300 or 3100... they start shooting soon as I load. Not seen much with farther range. And that 22 damage with 4 turrets melted ships even on very hard
I think if you build an outpost with a landing pad and ship builder it will give all the different module options within that particular system without having to go shopping at each different vendor. Yeah I know there is 120+ systems but I’m sure some like Wolf are better than others for more exotic upgrades 👍🏻
Wait until Sarah flips her lid and yells at you without telling you what you did leaving you completely at a loss. If your turret kills a friendly ship and they will eventually do it and you don't see it you get the bounty and blame for something you didn't do. How will this come to be? Friendly flies between your turret and it's target and gets shot by the turret making it unfriendly and a target of the turret.
@@dexarok Solid advice! Though I didn't need it. Learned my lesson when Sarah flipped her lid lol. I love the idea of having turrets but Bethesda screwed them up badly. The player is not in control of their fire so therefore the player should not be responsible for it. But that's the minor screwup from Bethesda, the major one is friendly NPC's choosing to get in the way. No friendly ship will strafe an enemy ship you are targeting without crossing your(turrets included) LOS(Line Of Sight). Never above or below LOS and never behind the target, always crossing LOS.
@@JETWTF I have to disagree with you on the ethics… you can't just go around with automated weapons on your ship and say "wasn't me!" when they destroy innocent families, lol… They for sure should be smarter, but it's actually a pretty good commentary on why humanity should probably avoid having automated killing machines.
@@dexarok What innocent families? That would only happen if you enter the space around a major Freestar or UC planet with civilian ships and the faction is already hostile to you. Visit a random moon and Freestar and pirates are already fighting it's a military patrol. Being military they will know that if they take friendly fire from a turret it is their fault not the pilot with turrets, and would they even know that the one or two hits came from you? And the scenario I was talking about I didn't even see the Freestar ships, I saw a pirate ship and was shooting it, the others were offscreen and by the time I turned to them it was just one more pirate. I assume it was Freestar considering it was a Freestar system and didn't know they were even there. So yes Sarah flipped her lid and I didnt know what she was talking about, ask and the answer was "you know what you did". No I did not. The problem isn't the turrets, it's Bugthesda's AI. The friendly military patrols should avoid getting between you and the target, the pilot inside would know where you are and see you firing or atleast see your shots hitting the target and what direction they are coming from. Then for the strafing run instead of going through your fire they should go under, over, or on the opposite side. They don't, they always fly into your fire. On the ground friendlies do the exact same thing. Bugthesda must think having friendlies get in the way is added challenge. It's added annoyance.
i keep 2 slotsfor turrets and 1 slot for normal weapons on my ships. that way i can still manually shoot asteroids or the occasional friendly unit. this also seems to fix the bug when they stop shooting, just put 1 power in to manual weapons and hit an enemy a couple times. the rest of the time i usually have the manual weapon powered down, because a total of 6 turrets kill even lvl 74 ships in 3-4 seconds
This is one thing the game doesn't tell you. Ship components, including weapons, aren't just gated by the ship design or piloting perks. They're also gated by level. It seems once you reach level 60 all ship components are available. So no, that is not the best turret. The best turret uses 4 power and does like 300 damage per shot.
You should try and make a broadside fighter. I made one with 10 turrets pointing at my left side which means I never engage the enemy directly, the only problem being is of course that it´s no good for capturing anything since enemies die extremely fast. It´s a bit like an old navy ship.
What I want to know is how to disable them when I want to board a ship so they don't destroy it. (Oh ok Im an idiot.. Just power them down durr of course lol) I have mine mounted 2 dorsal & 2 ventral.. and they seem to work brilliantly because 2 handle the top half of horizon & 2 handle below the ship horizon. I barely have time to use my manual weapons because they've been that effective.
are there any articles or videos explaning about ships engines? like mass to speed ratio or whatever the math behind it? something to consider when designing a specific ship
I read an article recently that said; Take the sum of all maneuvering thrust per engine and multiply by 'the magic number' 0.080952380952381 This gives you the maximum mass without loss of mobility
I boarded an Ecliptic Claymore that had the turrets mounted on it and I was so surprised when they started to take out ships without me doing anything. I do not have the turret skill unlocked.
I have laser and particle turrets facing all ways and missles just because I like the idea of commanding a capital ship like vessel. But the big set piece space battles of my dreams don’t seem to occur. Maybe go old school and put all the turrets on one side
Elite Dangerous players know Turrets are for non-forward facing weapons, typically backwards facing to protect the rear (The Type 10, for those who know). Face them all backwards in a 180 degree field of view and you should cause extreme disruption to opposing ships.
@@stevenflores9506 Dangit Bethesda! labeling a weapon as 'auto' when in fact it gives 'burst' fire. so basically, if i want bullet hoses on my ship, buy guns with no label. any that says 'auto' is actually a 3 round burst.
I've yet to use turrets as I'm not sure what they're going to do if you're trying to capture a ship? Once you K.O. the shields to try to board it, surely they'll just keep shooting and destroy that ship before you've managed to board it? 8-((...
Tried a duel turret setup on my class b pirate ship.. definitely need more turrets than 2. Seemed to rarely shoot. 9 power worth of class b weapons did easily 100x dps :( took 30m to kill with 2 turrets and a missed launcer compared to 12 seconds with 2 balistic hard mounts and a missile launcher at class.b. at lvl 21 with lvl4 piloting and tier 2 engineering. Currently 21 power requirement of 20 power output
I was literally look for something like this for weeks sense I got my first C class ship with turrets not to far into the game, then I figured it out, then this comes out
I have rank 1 auto turrets & have the same turrets you have on a class C ship & for some reason the game doesn't record any damage so I can get to rank 2 & beyond even though they are doing damage. Not sure why.
Hey turtle, this may be worth you showing off if you can get it to work on your end. You can customise space stations (A bug i found while playing) Simply follow these steps - - Get a uc bounty - go to the den and get caught by the guard - dont pay the bounty, instead allow him to take you in And its as easy as that, you will now be in new atlantis and the den will be halfway through the landing pad because it is now in your ship roster. P.s. save before you do this because the den DOES disappear from wolf when this happens and i have found no way to return it 😂
How do I stop them from firing? They leave me little chance of boarding. Also at one point I had a bounty on me and it automatically started destroying UC ships (oops).
My ship came with turrets and didnt work u just fliped them around and back to where they where saved and it worked without needing any points put into anything
Hey Turtle. Love your video subbed. Myabe you know is there a diference or benefit if you have the same type of weapon but split it up to three groups?
i can't stand the auto turrets. they fire at the closest ship or a ship that they can hit and not the selected ship. say i want to destroy the biggest ship and i target it, but it has smaller ships that are closer, then those only fire at the closest ship. Also they only way to get them to stop shooting is to power them down. i don't mess with power lvls while in battle. And if i want to board the last ship these will keep firing unless you power them down.
A) Vid doesn't show where to go to get these turrets, it just says "the den". The den ship vendor doesn't offer/provide turrets in building mode. Anyone have any suggestions?
ship parts are level locked that's must be your problem. Starfield How to Unlock All Best Ship Parts, Weapons, Reactors, Shields. When Best Parts Unlock. ua-cam.com/video/PFb4fxerFzc/v-deo.html
AUTO-TURRETS are so bugged and so inconsistent, I cannot recommend them at all right now. Couple that with the downside of them destroying ships you intend to board, their propensity to inadvertently hit friendly ships, and the lowered max DPS - in my testing EVEN with the perk tree maxed - there is no current value in Turrets. Auto Beam in both slots and EM or Missiles in Slot 3. Don't underestimate the Benefit of 1 bar power in 12 bar missiles for a fast, High DPS blast to kill a ship instantly when locked, although it will take time to recharge with only 1 bar.
Hey, howdy. You happen to know why the damage the turrets do is not counting towards the perk challenge? Mine still says 0 out of 1000. No idea whats wrong.
You do not need the skill automated Weaponsystems to use turrets. Thats nonsense. Also i placed them on vertical demos weaponmounts and they are working just fine.
hi i tried to put pbo-300 auto assault turret on my star eagle ship but then it said in the shipbuilders that the ship exceeded with more modules then the ships reactor class🤔🤔🤔 why is that🤔🤔🤔?
Ahhh, you need a rank of the skill for the turrets to even work! That explains why my turrets have been sitting uselessly on my ship, lol. Okay, that's an easy enough fix!
This game is so absurdly non-intuitive and bugged. People checking vendors as if different vendors would have different things. Yes, in some cases, but most weapons seem to be accessible at most vendors once you have reach their level limit. Yes, a bunch of things are simply locked behind levels in addition to the visible perk / skill lock. The game doesn't tell you that AT ALL. Same goes for what is required for turrets to work. (Luck mainly, that the game doesn't bug out.) and so on and so forth
Have a ship with 7 PB turrets, and 2 manual PB auto guns. 5 forward facing turrets, 2 turrets guarding the rear. Totally busted and hope it never changes. I would highly advise people to invest in ship design perk to get the best turrets.
you need rank 1 of a skill to use this weapons? wtf. why is there not a warning that you require a skill if you buy such a ship. thats annoying. thanks for this tipp.
Bugs? In a Bethesda game? Those are FEATURES! And a valuable lesson: NEVER BUY BETHESDA GAMES AT LAUNCH!!! Wait for a month. Or two. Better three. Then, some updates came out and at least half a dozen bug-fix mods as well. Also, then there might be a STEAM Sale.
You do NOT need any special skills to use auto turrets. I use them on my bulky cargo ships and have no skills in any combat related skills beyond shield boost.
so it was just bug then happening to me
I can confirm this. I bought the shieldbreaker with no points in the targeting skill and the turrets were working.
@@MattOfSmith Same...I can use the turrets without the skill
@@angryturtlegamingI had to restart the game after buying them due to them not working so definitely a bug!
I can't use the turrets. Must be bugs
I usually have 2 back-facing turrets and 2 side-facing turrets (one for each side), all in a single group. I keep first two weapon groups for manual weapons for better contoll of who and what to shoot. So the turrets take care of ships I am not actively engaging myself or those that outmaneuver mine.

I keep 2 side facing turrets on each side
4 backwards and 3 frontwards
My 3 front ward particle weapons do 100 energy and physical damage
deimos or hopetech, can't remember which, sells a flat plate next to the windows in structure section you can purchase for ships, you can use those to plop down weapons or equipment on.
I think Deimos sells the double attachment point for the side and hopetech and the outpost landing pad allow you to build the equipment plate

The turret placement is really bad. You need to place turret at open areas, where they can turn freely. Your turret is super restricted by other cosmetic things and getting stuck when they are trying to turn and shoot. I have 12 auto turrets on my ship and they didn’t bug once. Easy solution is to flip each and every turret 4 times and make sure it’s not obstructed in any position before placing them.
Thank u so much, I just blindly put them on thinking they'd do their magic lol

Pro tip. Use regular beams for sustained fire. Auto-beam weapons need to recharge, regular ones do not.
regular ones need to be fully powered to get full fire rate, auto can be used effectively at 30% power
Auto one's at 30 percent recharge 30 percent slower.
Regular gives sustained damage while auto gives burst.
Both are about the same dps
@@stevenflores9506 Dangit Bethesda! labeling a weapon as 'auto' when in fact it gives 'burst' fire.
so basically, if i want bullet hoses on my ship, buy guns with no label. any that says 'auto' is actually a 3 round burst.
I wish we could build ship parts and make out outposts have more use farming the materials for it instead of just buying them from starports
Good to have at least one or two rear facing.
I've yet to use turrets as I'm not sure what they're going to do if you're trying to capture a ship? Once you K.O. the shields to try to board it, surely they'll just keep shooting and destroy that ship before you've managed to board it? 8-((...
Tried a duel turret setup on my class b pirate ship.. definitely need more turrets than 2. Seemed to rarely shoot. 9 power worth of class b weapons did easily 100x dps :( took 30m to kill with 2 turrets and a missed launcer compared to 12 seconds with 2 balistic hard mounts and a missile launcher at class.b. at lvl 21 with lvl4 piloting and tier 2 engineering. Currently 21 power requirement of 20 power output
I saw another guy say it nut can't find it...would so much love for you to break down what parts you used to make your destroyer...it's so badass! :D
Hey Turtle, could you make a video about crew perks and their best use?
yes I will do that, still trying to figure out crew and related bugs
I was literally look for something like this for weeks sense I got my first C class ship with turrets not to far into the game, then I figured it out, then this comes out
sorry for being late 😐
@@angryturtlegaming it's fine, had fun defeating a fleet of pirates with my ship
For weeks? You get the game before September first?
My turrets don't show the lights (while firing) like yours, how to know if they are firing? Very confusing!
that skill is NOT required to use turrets, they just make turrets better.
I have rank 1 auto turrets & have the same turrets you have on a class C ship & for some reason the game doesn't record any damage so I can get to rank 2 & beyond even though they are doing damage. Not sure why.
Im using 2 Disruptor 3320 neutron turrets on the wingtips of my spaceship, they almost do turn 180.
How good is the ravager 20mev auto electron beam ??
What is that ship you're in is that anew one you've created as they are Class C engines?
turrets seem to have 30 degree shooting angle, so forward turrets cant really shoot side and backwards.
Hey turtle, this may be worth you showing off if you can get it to work on your end. You can customise space stations (A bug i found while playing)
Simply follow these steps -
- Get a uc bounty
- go to the den and get caught by the guard
- dont pay the bounty, instead allow him to take you in
And its as easy as that, you will now be in new atlantis and the den will be halfway through the landing pad because it is now in your ship roster.
P.s. save before you do this because the den DOES disappear from wolf when this happens and i have found no way to return it 😂
what is that for real 😳
@@angryturtlegamingworth a go, be sure to quicksave first 😂😂😂😂
I tried and didn't get the station :/
I got energy weapons on my ship but it won't let me use them how do I use them?
its the cannons you are using turtle, the disruptor 3340a ones. Other turrets got challenge to work.
TURTLE MAKIN STARFIELD VIDEOS LETS GOOOOO
How do I stop them from firing? They leave me little chance of boarding. Also at one point I had a bounty on me and it automatically started destroying UC ships (oops).
power them down
More weapon groups waiting room. I want it to be like a bullet hell, except I'm the last boss.
doesn't the Narwal come with turrets?
I'm about to try these out ...
My ship came with turrets and didnt work u just fliped them around and back to where they where saved and it worked without needing any points put into anything
Awesome video, thanks for the guide.
thanks for the bug help man
Hey Turtle. Love your video subbed. Myabe you know is there a diference or benefit if you have the same type of weapon but split it up to three groups?
you can't, there's no option to manually group weapons
How do you position your turrets to sideways or backwards on Xbox?
when you have turret selected button mapping should show up on the bottom of your screen
@angryturtlegaming yup. Thanks. And not all auto can point towards the back. Ended up with over 60k cargo with my hauler. Thanks!!!
where in the Den do you buy these auto turrets???
ship vendor at entrance, maybe you're too low level
@@angryturtlegaming Thank you, Ive finally just got enough credits to play around shipbuilding
i can't stand the auto turrets. they fire at the closest ship or a ship that they can hit and not the selected ship. say i want to destroy the biggest ship and i target it, but it has smaller ships that are closer, then those only fire at the closest ship. Also they only way to get them to stop shooting is to power them down. i don't mess with power lvls while in battle. And if i want to board the last ship these will keep firing unless you power them down.
Awsome Guide , Thanks
Odd, I added auto-turrets, and they work without investing any points in the Automated weapon system.
A) Vid doesn't show where to go to get these turrets, it just says "the den".
The den ship vendor doesn't offer/provide turrets in building mode. Anyone have any suggestions?

How I turn de turret?
Oh bugger, im gonna have to grind for that skill.
Are auto turrets still considered Proton beam weapons? Im confused about how to buff them in the perk tree.
there are different versions of turrets, good ones are indeed proton beam
AUTO-TURRETS are so bugged and so inconsistent, I cannot recommend them at all right now. Couple that with the downside of them destroying ships you intend to board, their propensity to inadvertently hit friendly ships, and the lowered max DPS - in my testing EVEN with the perk tree maxed - there is no current value in Turrets. Auto Beam in both slots and EM or Missiles in Slot 3. Don't underestimate the Benefit of 1 bar power in 12 bar missiles for a fast, High DPS blast to kill a ship instantly when locked, although it will take time to recharge with only 1 bar.
are there such things as missle turrets?
no
I’d like to know we’re to find these turrets can I get them in New Atlantis

Hey, howdy. You happen to know why the damage the turrets do is not counting towards the perk challenge? Mine still says 0 out of 1000. No idea whats wrong.
was working for me, so I don't know why, try to restart the game
You do not need the skill automated Weaponsystems to use turrets. Thats nonsense. Also i placed them on vertical demos weaponmounts and they are working just fine.
hi i tried to put pbo-300 auto assault turret on my star eagle ship but then it said in the shipbuilders that the ship exceeded with more modules then the ships reactor class🤔🤔🤔
why is that🤔🤔🤔?
you need class C reactor
@@angryturtlegamingah ok how do i get that then if i may ask🤔🤔🤔🙂?
@@mikaelowe8430 max out piloting is required to use C class ship, ship class is determined by reactor
Ahhh, you need a rank of the skill for the turrets to even work! That explains why my turrets have been sitting uselessly on my ship, lol. Okay, that's an easy enough fix!
they actually supposed to work without perk, try to edit ship and reassign weapons again
Can you put them on the underside?
yes
Bro i love u and ur video and i subbed to but i got to say, when i heard u speak, i remembered the man went to malta meme xD
Can they attack sub-systems?
no they fire as they please, you can only switch them off by powering down
Yeah I'm putting these on my UNSC frigate
I can't seem to find any turret in wolf. Is there any level requirements for it to appear?
yes all guns unlock slowly with level, I think first turret is level 30 or close to that
@angryturtlegaming aaahhh I see, thanks! I just got to level 12, maybe thats why. Gonna have to do a little bit of grinding then.
They’re super bugged. Mine fired two or three times then did nothing.
I captured a ship with turrets and they work fine, and I have no skill in them, so maybe a bug. Good video though!
Interesting , Thank You
The only Disruptor that I have is the 3340 alpha beam, No turret. Tried Deimos, Akila, Atlantis, I do not have theses weapons, I do have Class C rank
you probably need to level up more it's tradition at bethesda that items are level locked
@@angryturtlegaming player level? Currently at 24
My turrets work but I cannot get the skill challenge to progress....
This game is so absurdly non-intuitive and bugged.
People checking vendors as if different vendors would have different things. Yes, in some cases, but most weapons seem to be accessible at most vendors once you have reach their level limit. Yes, a bunch of things are simply locked behind levels in addition to the visible perk / skill lock. The game doesn't tell you that AT ALL.
Same goes for what is required for turrets to work. (Luck mainly, that the game doesn't bug out.) and so on and so forth
You sound like the demolitions expert in the atlantis cartoon. I will now watch you blow stuff up😂
Great video
For The Turtle and the Algorithm
I think turrets has their place. But if you intend to capping other ship for selling, don't use turrets on your ship.
Or you can just divert power away from em
Have a ship with 7 PB turrets, and 2 manual PB auto guns. 5 forward facing turrets, 2 turrets guarding the rear.
Totally busted and hope it never changes. I would highly advise people to invest in ship design perk to get the best turrets.
I don't see turrets I see auto cannon
you are most likely too low level to see them
Can you use turrets when you wanna disable enemy modules?
auto turrets will engage even when you enter precision shooting, example my turrets destroyed a target which I wanted to board
So the reason why my turrets dosen't work for sh*t, was because I needed the skill and placed them on "angled" slots?
Get work telling us, Bethesda.
the skill is not required after all (we did more investigation) but they do bug out a lot yes
you need rank 1 of a skill to use this weapons? wtf. why is there not a warning that you require a skill if you buy such a ship. thats annoying. thanks for this tipp.
after checking comments others don't need it, but you should know turrets like to bug out
Bugs? In a Bethesda game? Those are FEATURES! And a valuable lesson: NEVER BUY BETHESDA GAMES AT LAUNCH!!!
Wait for a month. Or two. Better three. Then, some updates came out and at least half a dozen bug-fix mods as well.
Also, then there might be a STEAM Sale.
lol my auto turrets do not fire at all
did you try my fix?
