[Necro910]

Hello, dwarves. Due to this thread, I felt like making the Aperture !!Science!! turret. I had a few questions, though.

What metal should I make it out of? The deep inside should be copper (Copper wires), but I'm wondering what the "Skin" should be. Aluminum? Platinum? Steel?

I may have a few more questions as I move along, but that's it for now.

EDIT: Should I add fire breath, so it'll pack a bigger punch?

HERE IT IS! I don't think you can eat the eggs, as I now made them from steel (It would be overpowered if the 50-100 eggs were edible). The turret is common domestic, so you can embark with it! Here ya go!

Are you still there?

[Supercharazad]

The turret has no wires, only bullets and a frame.

[SirAaronIII]

Make it out of plastic. That's what the shell thing looks like to me, anyway. Of course, then you'll have to make a plastic material...

[Necro910]

The turret has no wires, only bullets and a frame.

That solves that then.

[Necro910]

Make it out of plastic. That's what the shell thing looks like to me, anyway. Of course, then you'll have to make a plastic material...

That's what it looks like to me too. But I want it to be vanilla materials, as plastic has hundreds and hundreds of varieties. it could be kevlar, or it could be plastic spoons.

[SirAaronIII]

Hmm, do aluminum then. Or silver.

[12innigma]

I would go with aluminum, personally.

[Necro910]

Aluminum it is! Those turrets are pretty light, so aluminum would make more sense.

Now for the next order of business, what biome should I use? Or should I make it only domestic? "Egg" laying or "live birth"?

[Foamy]

How are you going to do the machine gun?

[Necro910]

How are you going to do the machine gun?

Glob. On that note, is there a way to make it fire faster without making the walk speed high?

[Foamy]

The glob wont act like a bullet. you wont be getting any more penetration than light bruising. You could add a syndrome to kill though. At least that was my experience in trying to make a machine-gun before. I don't think there is any way of modifying the firing rate but it has been a few months since i tried.

[The Scout]

Aluminum it is! Those turrets are pretty light, so aluminum would make more sense.

Now for the next order of business, what biome should I use? Or should I make it only domestic? "Egg" laying or "live birth"?

Eggs. They will multiply.

[Foamy]

I suspect the live birth of a turret would be quite horrific as they should probably be fully grown from the start.

[Lovechild]

You must have vocalizations.

[SOUND:ALERT:100:1000:VOCALIZATION:say "Hello":says "Hello":"Hello"]
[SOUND:ALERT:100:1000:VOCALIZATION:say "Are you still there?":says "Are you still there?":"Are you still there?"]

...and so on.

[Necro910]

I suspect the live birth of a turret would be quite horrific as they should probably be fully grown from the start.

Don't picture that. Please...

OH MY GOD MY EYYEEESSSS
