Turret guards will no longer require food as long as they are using the turret. Good for roleplay, as it allows you to do things like have turret guards on the roof of a palace or prison who never have to actually shoot anything without wasting food on them or risking them starving due to the game messing up with pathfinding or something.

I made this mod because my turret guards, when assigned to the turrets as a job (not just right clicking the turret), would frequently just not get food. They'd just stay unmoving at the turret until they collapsed from malnutrition. One of my roof guards also couldn't figure out how stairs worked, so they starved to almost death at the top of a staricase because I was micro managing a caravan around the map.

Should work with all turrets, including the variants that come with lights. If the mod doesn't work, either at all or with a certain kind of turret that I forgot, let me know in the comments.

If you'd like me to make a version for a turret from another mod, also let me know in the comments.

Best mod ever

The characters keep diying by hunger because turret put them in "combat state", so they prefer end the combat before take food. The real problem is when the characters keep focus on an enemy they can't reach, wich can take several hours some times (because enemies love being fooling around on floor without a leg near the base) and the guards just don't even know there's a "combat" because no one is engaging.

It's not a pathfinding problem, because can order any guard to go in pasive or desactivate the task and they will inmediately go for food.

Maybe the real problem of this issue is the range at the guards detect the enemies, as they can't fire them but keep in combat mode until die by hunger.

Have to try this mod, let's fix the ia for now.

@Bambles If I knew how to update mods I'd check to see if I could fix that lol

An issue I'm seeing is other races with different hunger effects like the Sheks, they've got a 1.25x rate instead of 1.0x so they very slowly starve. Not a huge issue as normally Sheks arent gunners and at worst you'd only have to micromanage the one dude but figured I'd let you know abt it.

@Dixbfloppin Since the problem is likely to come back the next time you start a new game, you're still going to want to fix this. To check load order, just put this mod at the bottom of your list in the game launcher. If that doesn't fix it, then your MkII Crossbow have been replaced by another mod. Open FCS, go to buildings -> furniture -> Mounted Crossbow MkII, open it, and look at the String ID, it's the third item on the list. If it's something other than 2887-gamedata.base, that's your culprit.

@Dixbfloppin glad to hear it, pls don't hesitate to lmk if you have any more problems

Yeah I have since upgraded to harpoon turrests and these seem to be working.

aren’t* causing the problem
glossyplane542  [author] 6 Sep, 2023 @ 6:21pm 
@Dixbfloppin I’m not really sure what would be causing that, I just checked FCS and I did do the crossbow mk 2. I also tested in in a fresh save and it works with the crossbow mk2. Have you tried importing and rebuilding the turrets, and made sure that the mod order is correct (you’d have to use an external guide for that)? If those are causing the problem then it’s likely just a Kenshi issue, it’s notoriously janky, try experimenting.

It does not work for my crossbow turret mk 2, it's really weird sometimes it does work sometimes it does not.
Do I have to put the turret guard job as the only job?
