Turrets double powering :D

I wish they'd trained you to .. use words. I'd guess you're complaining about connections, but unless you state what the issue is, all I can say is "good enough for a game, especially with vanishing walk-thru wires".

Removed the joke thread name and added description - so u could better understand what is already obvious on a picture :rolleyes:
Well...the wires were visible back in A16 but i guess they were removed because were blocking vision if staked a lot together!

Well, thanks; at least you have a complaint now. Your original reference to "monks" made me think of magically leaping energy or some such - as in the insulators you've highlighted on the generator end. Those are meant to isolate high-voltage lines from whatever support they're attached to. Drawn as it is, there's no actual connection to the generator itself. In the other end you've highlighted the end of the connecting lines as well as the batteries, in one it looks like the gennie is powering the frame of the turret, and in the other is kinda hidden within that contact point; not exactly electrically sound either.

Given less words (this time) and more precise editing, I might've guessed your intent; but comparing the efforts of me (or TFP) guessing what you mean Or you just spelling it out, I'd say the latter is always going to more effective. Especially as the editing would have to be a lot more precise to highlight what you want highlighted, and thus take more time than typing it out...

I think I'll still refer to my original answer, "Good enough for a game".

Turrets have battery in 3d models but still require to be powered from other energy sources!

As an engineer, I got this.

The 12 VDC battery is for the PLC / circuitry that powers the tracking system and control functions. The generator is providing the AC voltage that the motor needs to turn and track the gun portion of the turret.

I was thinking the other way around .. the gennie is providing the actual control line (as it is), and a maintenance level of power for the "threat detection system", while the 12V battery is there to boost the relatively high, but very temporary, power demand of rapid actions of firing. Much like the starter engines that battery is for anyway.
 
I guess I would complain about the "junk" and sledge turrets. At least the junk turret has a "fuel" bottle, don't know what that could be. The sledge has no obvious source of power.

PLC = Primary Logic Controller? Is my Nerd Translator working?
