[#546][6.00 Beta 1] mining ship turrets incompatible - Total fix in a build after b2.

[mp63]

...all my L and M mining ship configurations are flagged invalid in the shipyard building menu. It looks like only mining turrets and on L mining and missile turrets are available to choose from.

Bug or new "feature" ? ?

[Ketraar]

Please provide a vanilla save where the issue can be investigated. Thank you.

...no vanillas here. Played since 2.0

[Ketraar]

Well vanilla in the sense that it needs to be a save that was not made while using modifications. We still need a save if we are to look into it.

..check Alligator mineral (editor will not allow anything but mining lasers) or Crane mineral (mining lasers or rocket launchers but nothing else); other ships I use (i.e. Donia or Wyvern) work.

I just claimed the Derelict Drill Vanguard in The Void. I sent it to the Equipment Dock in Black Hole Sun IV and am only given the option to fit Mining Turrets. I can add a save in a bit if needed. No time at the mo.

[Scoob]

This save will show the issue. Send the Drill Vanguard to the Equipment Dock and you'll see.

I tried that Scoob's save and custom start. There's no difference between them, but as one can see from the custom start selections, for example Crane which mp63 mentioned has 3 turret slots which are supposed to have Standard Missile Mining, but only show Missile and Mining. Then it has 3 turret slots which are supposed to have Standard and Mining, but only have Mining.
So the standard selection of turrets is missing from all 6 of them.

[magitsu]

These are missing the Standard M's: Chthonios and Chthonios E (Mineral) both Sentinel and Vanguard variants, Crane (Mineral) Sentinel and Vanguard
Alligator, Bolo, Drill, Manorina, Plutus

All Gas versions are ok, as are Donia, Hokkaido, Magnetar and Wyvern.

After a look through the extracted files, I noticed a new tag for the turret connections "combat". This is the new tag required for non mining/missile turrets to be mounted and should resolve the issue after they are added.
A line for the Drill reads:
<connection name="con_turret_02" tags="turret medium standard mining unhittable ">
When I believe it should read
<connection name="con_turret_02" tags="turret medium combat standard mining unhittable ">

I made a post earlier regarding the Erlking, and posted this possible answer there.

I have the same problem - fresh Split start, came to Split Warf and can confirm that Alligator(Mineral) and Wyvern (Mineral) can't use anything except Mining turrets.

Attached save and screenshots with Alligator(Mineral)/Wyvern (Mineral) and Alligator(Gas)/Wyvern (Gas) for contrast.

Fresh Split start -

Wyvern(Gas) - as expected

Wyvern(Mineral) - only mining turrets

Alligator(Gas) - as expected

Alligator(Mineral) - only mining turrets

Wyvern is slightly different case. Yes, it says Equipment compatibility: Standard Mining also for L turrets, but it had only Mining L turrets available before.
This bug is more about M turrets. Those are fine in Wyvern.

So with Wyvern(Mineral) it's another bug - turret compatibility should be only 'Mining' without 'Standard' if it is intended.

Since I installed the beta, I can no longer put any weapons besides missiles onto any mining ship turrets including S / M / L.
I've seen some people posting about individual models of ships, but in my game its all of them. This makes me sad.

Please help my Captains.

[BurnIt!]

Hi everyone - thanks for the report. We've confirmed the issue and the fix should be in the next build.

[hairyhermit]

add the Leviathan to the list.

Hello, all M miners had their turrets bugged to only accept miner turrets, not weapons ones in the initial release of the 6.0 Beta.
After the Beta 2 today, this was mostly fixed for the M miners I looked into, however one of the turrets for the mineral Terran Bolo still remains bugged.
It is possible that other types of ships still have the same bug.
Viel Dank, hope u fix it in Beta 3.

[magitsu]

I can confirm: it's specifically M1 turret of Bolo (Mineral).

Besides that obvious bug, two ships still stand out:
*Crane's 3/6 M turrets locked at being just mining turrets. I don't know whether they need to be kept as such to maintain compatibility with non-beta saves, but M turret availability in every other case is never just mining turrets (all L are mining is the only clear rule)
*Chthonios and Chthonios E having L mining turret and also 3 std/missile/mining. Every other ship which has L mining turret(s) isn't also able to have M mining turrets.
