I'm having an issue getting turrets to work. I had two dwarves go into fey moods and come out with turrets. I have a dragonfire and a web turret.

I tried to create a pasture and set a turret to a 1:1 square. However, there was a no turret available to select as an animal, what am I missing here? I couldn't find much about this in the masterwork guides...it just says they need a pasture. Any assistance would be helpful.

...they artifact'd a turret? o.O? I've never heard of that, let alone seen that kind of behavior myself. presumably that's a bug, as turrets are 'pets' - artifacts (to my grasping) are always objects (not pets).

So they went to a machine factory in a mood, and created turrets to be clear? As yes. I've never, EVER seen this happen in 150+ forts that has the machine factory/turrets...

I've an artifact "adjustable turret", whatever it is.

I also have got an adjustable turret in my recent kobold fort.
it seems that its a kind of gnomish armortype.

Its a gnomish thing, you have to ask IndigoFenix. They are generally used to outfit his mechanical animals, I dont know if dwarves can use it for anything.

Here is a picture, sorry for that late response: https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Public/turret1.jpg?_subject_uid=45443223&w=AAD8zL37yDanVVgULyxVfANSCYs7BPPPJsXacTdOdxsYIQ

it's an 'adjustable' turret like some others have mentioned. I have one more too, I'll take a screen shot of here in a bit.

I got one in one of my forts, and yes, dwarves can wear them.

As others have said, it's part of the gnome-race inventions. To my best grasping, unless it's armor (can't say by that picture, as it's a dead link) - it's worthless to a dwarf. Fairly common to have odd objects like that as artifacts pop up, unfortunately. At least a dragon scale Thong gets me a giggle, where a turret like this would frustrate me to no end, as I want a cool gnome turret-of-death too!

It is armor, and dwarves can wear it.

[IndigoFenix]

Nice.  They should be able to use them too, although I'd advise against wearing that dragon fire turret.  Actually, maybe if they have a shield as well...
