About Scientist Sentry Turrets
The most advanced and vanilla-friendly sentry turret plugin, allowing your players to place the Outpost NPC Turrets.
With an extensive amount of configurable features, you can tune the plugin to best fit your server.
Features (all toggleable in the config)
- Vanilla friendly: Does not use a custom wheel UI, keeping interactions just how they are with vanilla turrets
- Base Defenses: Allow players to place them in their base like a turret for stronger, more unique, and fun raids
- SAM Site: Sentries can double as anti-air, so a compact base can still cover its sky
- Powered Turrets: Wire sentries into base electricity with a configurable power draw
- PvE Ready: One setting stops sentries ever firing players, only engaging NPCs
- Remote Control: Allow players to control the turrets in a computer station, making for unique experiences on your server
- Ammo Types: Incendiary, explosive, HV, each type has its own damage and effects, so what your players load actually matters
- Compatibility: Compatible with plugins like Auto Auth, which lets authing stay effortless

Known Issues
-
Authorize Friends does not work
This option sadly will not work unless a special wheel UI is used, removing the vanilla UI and making experience worse for high-ping players
This is due to a client-sided bug with Scientist Sentries that can not be fixed in the plugin itself
