is this obsolete as well?

I'm using Vanilla Gatling guns and Missile Launchers. With smart turrets on my turrets do not target bots (populated worlds mod), wolfs, or spiders. They do target ships. I have to use the vanilla turrets settings to target the bots, spiders and wolfs. The vanilla settings do have target characters, missiles and meteors. You might need to add these targets to the target setting for select types.

Very odd indeed, is it possible for you to upload a copy of the world and send me a link I can try and take a look, I haven't personally seen that issue.

hi I just tried smart turrets but for some reason, the turrets don't target anything while the new AI is on I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but I tried with the default settings and tried to change obstacle block tolerance to infinite and nothing
