Hey I got a question I have all 9 turrets connected and they all getting powered by one wind turbine and I have all the turrets on all day but they keep turning off and on constantly Do I need more power ? Or how can I keep the turrets on 24/7 without turning off

Nice video! Helped a Lot i'm dumb

Hey thank you!

Couldn’t agree more. One of the best how to rust videos I have ever seen. Keep up the great work!

Thanks! And that's a good point to consider. I never thought about that.

Thank you! I really appreciate the support.

Thank you! I believe the logic between console and pc is the same.

Hey you're welcome! And thank you.

Yes! Unite!

Already been done

Regarding battery charging efficiency, yes, RUST batteries only accept 80% of their input. The easiest way to understand it is to base it off the battery's Active Usage. Whatever that value is, divided by 0.80, gives you the MINIMUM charge requirement to keep the battery from draining. It won't drain, but it will also not charge, if you use that exact value. It's the balance point. Ergo, always add at least 1 volt to ensure a positive weight on the charge side. You can also avoid all of this by simply sending a charge to each battery that assumes you'll end up using it to its full capacity. Examples of this idea: Large battery with 100 active usage would be 100 ÷ 0.8 = 125. So send at least 126v to any large battery. Medium battery with 50 active usage would be 50 ÷ 0.8 = 62.5 so 63v. This is already above 62.5 so it's fine. Small battery with 10 active usage would be 10 ÷ 0.8 = 12.5 so 13v. This is already above 12.5 so it's fine. Does that help?

And I have a backup generator system in the works as we speak. It works well, I'm just refining it a bit before releasing it.

@@AustinKlailaGames I've been wondering how I can counteract the inconsistency that windmills have when providing power. The wind range is 0 to 150 and usually they sit between about 80 and 120. This means that they're rarely producing enough to charge the battery whilst it's in maximum use. The easy fix is just to turn off the circuit when you're not using it but that doesn't apply when you're offline. I ideally want a way to have a single windmill (at 8th storey) handle a single large battery, even when wind speed drops for an extended period of time. Maybe I'm missing something but I've experienced my batteries draining as output nears 100. At the moment I just use 6 turrets per battery and it tends to be fine but I'm building a bigger base next wipe with more turrets and more sensors etc. and want a way to guarantee they'll stay on when i'm offline and when I'm getting raided even if the wind turbines are MLRS'ed an hour before a rocket is fired

Oh that would be an absolute nightmare 😂

@@MidnightJake1 *revolver sniping noises*

They'd soak the first then the second and get two turrets. Unless I'm misunderstanding? The blocker is simply there to make sure no one can break the turret when it runs out of ammo

@@ayyorta on a return trip that would be the most likely scenario, but the first main attack is what I'm mainly after, where they don't have the knowledge of that kind of information, especially if it's set up on low ammuniton as the activating signal instead of no ammo.

It can be done. Do you have discord?

You could do it with AND Switches and an OR Switch. In each room, connect each turret's Low Ammo or No Ammo output to an AND Switch. Connect both of those two AND Switches to an OR Switch. Connect the OR Switch to the block passthrough on the Blocker. Provide 2 rW of power to each AND Switch. Should work.

Thank you! This is all done on pc

Its because ur trying to connect too many power sources behind a series of root combiners. Root combiners can only handle 16 components behind it I believe. To avoid the max depth short circuit error, you have to rewire your solar panels in a different way, or simply use less since

No, the turret determines the range. When it detects a player, it will fire whatever weapon it has. The only thing specific to the weapon is its accuracy and stopping power. The python is the best overall (cheap and powerful).

I have actually thought about this more than a few times. My first idea was to see if the game updated voltages after an item, in this case a turret, was destroyed. Unfortunately, it doesn't so using that as a trigger won't work.. Another idea I played with was placing a switch on the opposite side of a wall next to the turret that would be destroyed if the wall was destroyed. This is also limited because there's no guarantee the wall will be destroyed with the turret (ex fire). I've got a new idea involving an hbhf sensor that I'm going to test out.

I've been working on that one for a while now, actually. I've still got some things to work out but it's close.

In general, if the turret is outside, using standard ammo is best. It does the most overall damage to a player and is cheaper to make. I have, on occasion, used incendiary ammo in a pump shotgun located in tight quarters inside the base. That said, best weapon is the python with standard pistol ammo (powerful, easy to make, not a big deal if lost).

😂

Yep, I meant 200 rounds

Sorry for the delay, yes, I have multiple generic power sources just for the tutorial. You can run multiple power sources or just use Branch Switches to send power where you need.

@@AustinKlailaGames thanks man! I even figured out how to do 2 doors at the same time with 2 turrets. You just need another blocker. and one more branch what you do is put another branch after the AND switch. and put the overal power up

I'm making a video about this as we speak!

@@AustinKlailaGames my dawg 🫱🏼‍🫲🏽

I also did not know that for a long time lol

I'm using admin test generators in this video because the focus is on the turret use / attributes rather than ways to power them. Unless you're playing on a modded server that supplies them, you wouldn't have access to test generators.

The most basic way is to simply attach the turbine directly to the battery. That said, turbines generate power based on their installation, so what you get out of them will vary. If your battery is dying, then the average output of your turbine is too low. Take whatever the Active Usage is on your battery and divide it by 0.8. That value is THE MINIMUM you need. Add a little. I suggest you watch some of my videos that cover root power, batteries, etc.

this lol
