I really hope someone picks this up. I hate when my turrets blow through everything I'm trying to salvage to get at a dinky little interior turret.

why is this mod marked obsolete? is there a spiritual successor? The vanilla turret ai is still bugged and practically useless if it did work.

Has this mod not seen any attention in THREE YEARS? That was the last time you or your contributor replied to the comments here.

Can we get this updated to work properly? The turrets are kinda stupid
DaysofKnight 8 May, 2023 @ 6:30am 
Is this is obsolete, where's the mod that made it obsolete so I can subscribe to it? That way I can tell my turrets which priorities are more important than others

I do not think this script will work for me since the server I play on uses Weapon Core Mod

I hate AI turrets in a way. I mean once the ship is disabled the turrets should stop firing, but noo they keep firing wasting ammo destroying so much of the ship that it hardly even worth going out to salvage it. 95% of what you end up with is steel plates Metal grids and scrap metal

This is still better than the new AI update.

@maxwindude: well, the thing is it *does* appear, at times, on other grids in the same session. Moving ST2 to the bottom didn't change anything for me. As well, ST2 beta does the same thing, at the top or the bottom of the mod list.

Is there a way to have this and weaponcore in my world at the same time? It seem that one will work while the other doesn't.
maxwindude 29 Oct, 2021 @ 5:49pm 
The UI problem Is most likely a load order problem. Try putting Smart turrets 2 at the bottom of your load order under your weapon mods.
Unruly 13 Oct, 2021 @ 9:43am 
I'm using the beta version, and it also doesn't show up in the UI all the time. restarting/reordering doesn't seem to help. And then suddenly, there's the UI options again for no apparent reason.

The funny thing is, the turrets I have already set to be Smart continue to work, I just can't adjust them or set new turrets to be Smart.

Doesn't show up on any of the weapons mod we use for some reason (MWI, PDC, GH).
Stavinair Caeruleum 20 Sep, 2021 @ 10:00am 
Some turrets don't even have the settings for what the mods do, and I am unable to ammo cycle anything in the hotbar or the weapon settings menu. The "obsolete," version doesn't have these issues, although for some reason I think it tanks simspeed.
chemicalvamp 25 Aug, 2021 @ 6:01pm 
This doesn't appear in the search for turret priority, or target priority.
Chojun 16 Aug, 2021 @ 6:45pm 
For those coming around here - this mod only supports Missile turrets and interior turrets. Not Gatling turrets.

Please fix this mod!

wait so my base will be blown to bits by meteors and attacked by endless spiders?
Andrew 17 Jul, 2021 @ 9:31am 
This mod has been crashing for me recently. The Smart Turret UI is not showing up in the turrets and whenever there is a storm, it seems to crash. Devs, msg me if you want logs.
CeeJay232 8 Jul, 2021 @ 6:46pm 
will this make NPCs target more intelligently?
GigabyteGamer 6 Jul, 2021 @ 3:28am 
the fact that this doesnt shoot spiders or wolves is such a shame. cant even use it for a lot of my stuff
Aggressor 15 May, 2021 @ 4:38pm 
Smart turrets dont shoot at spiders for example. So they are not so smart than.
ignis 19 Apr, 2021 @ 3:17am 
The "smart targeting" is visible only the rocket turrets.
ignis 18 Apr, 2021 @ 7:00am 
Many times the "smart targeting" option is not visible. (reload save, reload game, readd mod not helped)
Stefan 14 Apr, 2021 @ 6:39am 
used to work for me, then randomly stopped working for me, no option to have 'smart' enabled anymore
Montogro 3 Mar, 2021 @ 10:50am 
Doesn't work anymore, smart targeting doesn't show.
Zé Brasa 2 Mar, 2021 @ 5:47am 
I can't add this script to a programmable block, It doesn't show up
Unruly 28 Feb, 2021 @ 4:33pm 
Thanks for the mod. Would it be hard to please break out 'thruster' from functional block? I realise it's included in functional block, but ticking that results in too much other useful stuff getting wrecked.
CiberX15 3 Feb, 2021 @ 8:36am 
Not seeing the crashes but I am seeing what dnjuandmrk was, where the options aren't appearing at all. They appear for the interior/small turret but not the larger gatling turret. Haven't tried the missile turrets.

Interestingly, my friend who was playing on the same server _could_ see the options on the large turret. Unclear why it's not appearing on random turrets and not for all payers.

FWIW I was the host.

Crashes the game when trying to load preset.
Tempiik 26 Jan, 2021 @ 5:55am 
Hello. We have problem with this mod in our multiplayer. Turrets are set correctly according to picture in descriptoin of this mode, but none of our turrets are shooting. In best scenariom turrets destroyed 1 interior turret on ship, but after that all turrets stopped shooting. Any ideas?
Hate vanilla turrets wasting so much ammo and destroying our base.. Thank you for replies.
zibafu 24 Jan, 2021 @ 3:05pm 
whats included in functional blocks ? Does it include thrusters ?
orsa1305 10 Jan, 2021 @ 10:21am 
it looks to me that the targetting range is bugged, i have it at 600M (even changed it to 0 and then back to 600) but it only shoots when te rarget is less then 200M away.
kullen 9 Jan, 2021 @ 8:54am 
This mod blocks the ability to use "controll" on modded turrets, and for some reason interior turrets but not normal gattling or missile turrets
dnjuandmrk 8 Jan, 2021 @ 5:50am 
It no longer adds the additional options to the terminal of turrets for some reason. If you have a blueprint of a grid with turrets that have it active, it seems to work, but there is no way to adjust it or turn it off. If you build a turret you can't use it at all. I have tested this in multiple survival and creative worlds. Please fix! I use this mod religiously to prevent my turrets from destroying my stuff!
BrasilianHitman 9 Dec, 2020 @ 1:35pm 
Please update! it used work great. Now DLC has caused it to be buggy.
Crabique 23 Nov, 2020 @ 3:48am 
Mod is still unstable? Dont wanna crash my server :)
Rojueru 19 Nov, 2020 @ 3:45am 
Please Fix default turrets suck i get shot the do nothing i see destroyed ship they fire nonstop ...
Rojueru 19 Nov, 2020 @ 3:43am

It crashes my game upon loading the world....can't use it

Why Can't You Target Engines?
Dakroth 7 Oct, 2020 @ 10:37am 
Is there any known information on this mod not cooperating with packs like Modular Encounters?
Doge Star 6 Sep, 2020 @ 4:10pm 
null exception still. crashes regularly.
uninstalled.
ttr 6 Sep, 2020 @ 10:47am 
@Pochemuchka - thx :)
KuroShiro 3 Sep, 2020 @ 10:07pm 
can it shoot blocks with no computer components? I'm looking for things that can help against people dropping a huge amount of block frames on static bases and since turrets cant target them, its a free kill
Red007Master 2 Sep, 2020 @ 4:59pm 
fire through hostiles function don't work on clean game
Red007Master 2 Sep, 2020 @ 4:32pm 
lol now any turets don't work when smart mode turned on
Red007Master 2 Sep, 2020 @ 4:56am 
upd only when turned on on prebuild turret
Red007Master 31 Aug, 2020 @ 7:08pm 
when turned on on wship's railgun game crush
Swanny 26 Jul, 2020 @ 4:27pm 
Starting to have targeting problems too. Having issue targeting spiders and such. If I remove it (make a vanilla turret) no problem. Enable ST and it wont shoot the spiders. This is on the small point defense turrets. The large gatling turrets do fine :/
Rekalty 24 Jul, 2020 @ 1:26pm 
Any update regarding a fix to the crash that several people have mentioned?
