Tuning Turret Firing Speed with Rotational Power

Understanding Beam Charge Times

Guardian Beam Turrets rely on kinetic rotational power to charge their internal laser mechanisms. Their firing cadence is directly determined by the speed of the kinetic network powering them:

• Low RPM Input: Results in a prolonged charge-up phase before the turret can fire a burst at acquired hostile mobs.
• High RPM Input: Shortens the charging duration, allowing the turret to execute fast, repeated attack sequences against hostile targets.

To maximize defensive throughput against incoming mobs, connect your turrets to speed-increasing gear assemblies or high-speed shafts rather than low-speed networks.

Maintaining Operational Conditions

Kinetic power alone will not damage enemies if targeting conditions fail:

• Keep clear lines of sight between the turret and any approaching hostiles. If a mob slips behind an obstacle or outside the 17-block range, the lock-on breaks and the charge resets.
• When reconfiguring your rotational gearboxes or rearranging defense lines, do not strike the turret with a pickaxe. The block takes an extremely long time to mine with tools; interact with it using a wrench to properly dismantle and deploy it elsewhere.
