    on my dedicated server i have a mountain base. before I continue, yes i have power going to the base, yes all the targeting boxes are ticked, yes i have enough CPU, yes they have a line of sight and are in range and yes they all have ammo. Its not that they dont work, i can hop in a turret and blast the drones to kingdom come. Has anyone else had this problem of the turrets not attacking on their own?

    When you say mountain base is it a base in a mountain or on a mountain?

    both kinda. the turrets and the solar panels are on the peak of the mountain (technically a glacier) and the base is tucked entirely inside of the mountain

    I have, but only on SP. The solution is usually logging off and on again so that won't help you...

    see ive never had this problem on SP. occasionally the turrets shoot, but its more often than not that they just sit their twiddling their magazines

    Oh yeah, that's what I meant. It only happens occasionally...

    Can you send me the save game so I can check if I can trigger what you describe so we have possibly have something to look at ?
    Leave your character standing in the base & also please say if the there is an issue with targeting a AI entity or another player & their vessel.

    sure, how would i go about sending you the save file? Also Im trying to get into the game to make sure my guy is in the base, but my game is on 1.1.7 and the server i have is on 1.1.6. I tried to update the server, and i did the update command from SteamCMD. But, I keep getting 1.1.6 when i start up the server. Do you have any idea what im doing wrong with it?

    Stop the server & create a compressed copy of it then upload it to a file sharing site such as google drive or dropbox & send me a share link to it. Right click on my forum name & select the "Start a conversation" option.

    I have 2 servers updated with steamcmd to the latest public release with no issue I would guess it could be to do with the steamcmd cache.
    In your "Empyrion - Dedicated Server" folder do you see a "steamapps" folder ? go into it & delete all of the contents then try running steamcmd again (make sure the server is not online).

    when you say mountain peak did you level the peak before building?
    If you remove "ground" and place turrets or land claim device in the area where there was "ground" before they still think they are under "ground" and do not function. This is a long-standing issue and has been reported many times before.
    This may not be your issue, however.

    I did level the peak, but I made sure that i enabled the option to allow turrets to fire underground
