The small-grid variant of the Custom Turret Controller Block

An Automaton with Event Controllers has finer senses and is likely better mass-produceable. Custom Turret Controller AI is also less effective for building automatic welders or grinders with seeking behaviour, because the custom turret AI cannot aim at individual blocks. One disadvantage of custom turrets is that they are often bulkier and slower to build, because projectors and 3D Printers cannot project grids with Rotor/Hinge subgrids. The advantage of a custom turret over a weapon block is of course that you can build the custom one out of any blocks (weapons or tools) you like, and aim multiple weapons at the same time. In automatic mode, you can tell the AI to aim its tool at chosen targets (stations, ships, players) weapons can lock on to specific subsystems (enemy weapons, propulsion, or power).įrom the Automaton update on, while flying/driving, the pilot will be able to take manual control of a Custom Turret with the mouse, and still steer the ship/rover with the WASD keys, just as with Block Weapons.Magnetic Landing Gear, Collectors, Connectors.Block Tools such as drills, welders, grinders.The subgrid arm can be equipped with functional blocks of your choice, for military and civilian applications: The Controller lets you activate Block Tools/Weapons on the subgrid by mouse click.The Controller lets you manually control a wrist-like movement of a custom subgrid "arm" with your mouse.

You can control the turret/arm manually or use the game's built-in automatic AI ("artificially intelligent") targeting. The Controller is easy to use and straightforward to set up - neither mods nor scripts are required. The Custom Turret Controller lets you construct and steer custom subgrid turrets, robot arms, or cranes with your mouse.
