Auto Turret

The Auto Turret is a defensive mechanism in Rust, designed to automatically target and fire at enemies within its vicinity. It boasts a 180-degree detection range and will engage targets when they enter this zone or attack the turret. Importantly, the turret operates independently of Tool Cupboard authorizations, relying on its own authorization list to distinguish friend from foe, meaning all allies must authorize themselves on the turret to avoid friendly fire incidents.

To function, the turret must be equipped with a ranged weapon and the corresponding ammunition. Users are required to power down the turret to safely reload and change its armed weapon. The Auto Turret requires a minimum of 10 rWm of electrical power to activate. Additionally, it features three output slots - Has Target, Low Ammo, and No Ammo - which can be integrated into complex security systems with devices like the Smart Alarm, necessitating an additional 1 rWm each.

Users can toggle between two operational modes: Peacekeeper and Attack All. The default Attack All mode instructs the turret to fire upon any unauthorized individuals, while Peacekeeper mode limits its response to actively hostile players indicated by a red sight icon, similar to the behavior of Safe Zone turrets found in the Outpost and Bandit Camp.

Not only does the Auto Turret fortify a base with a layer of automated security, but its configurable nature allows it to be tailored to different defensive strategies. Strategically placing Auto Turrets can create a formidable defense network that protects your assets and deters enemy raiders.
