Adds Shock Turrets, which are early game electric turrets. They use little energy making them good for early game if you don't like restoring turrets with ammo. Their speed and damage can be upgraded.

Hey, could you add information about the mod to be available on the link below, for a more specific definition of what the mod does? Is this meant to completely replace ammo based turrets early? Damage/fire rate? Maybe explain what goal you had with this mod, sell it a little :)

It looks like just a weaker laser turret. Half the power drain, less damage, less power per shot, less range etc. I'm not sure if i agree with the cost though. 75 iron + 10 steel is a lot. Maybe reduce down to 5 gears from 15? Basic gun turret which is included in recipe already takes 10 gears (so current total is 25), whereas laser turret itself uses none.

For combat effectiveness these didn't have any upgrades. 3 big spitters destroyed 6 of these turrets easily, but it's for early game so it's propably fine. Visually it's some sort of electric projectile.
