    Is there any way to get turrets to work on Planets? I have Reforged Eden on and alot of planets have cool Zirax ships with lasers on them and all I have are Cannons and Miniguns which are to me kinda lame. because my CV has alot of Laser and Plasma turrets I can't even use.

    Laser Turrets on CVs work in Atmo in Reforged Eden.
    Secondary firing modes of Flak, Plasma and Laser also work in-atmo.

    Sadly, the enemy POIs are usually severely undergunned due to strict restrictions for POI design in the early days. So CV turrets working in atmo would severely destroy any POI in seconds.
    If you're intent on enabling CV weapons in atmo, there's the scenario's Config.ecf file that you just need to scroll down to the section that enables CV weapons in atmo and remove a few #'s off the designated lines and your weapons will work in atmo.

    For normal use, you can either make your own Config.ecf that contains ONLY the targeted turretweapons with the locations to include planets and it'll work.

    Reforged Eden allows minigun, cannon and pulse laser turrets on planets.
    Turrets in Reforged also have secondary firing modes when manually controlled that have alternative firing methods (particle beams, EMP shells, incendiary shells, etc...) Those all work in-atmo, except for Rocket and Artillery.

    If you're running the scenario from the workshop, you'll need to find the scenario folder in the steam workshop folder on your PC and make the changes to the Config.ecf there.
    There's already a setting in the Config.ecf to enable turrets if wanted. Just read and follow the instructions. Should take a minute or two at most.

    Is it just Config.ecf or is it Eden_Config.ecf?

    i found this in Config.ecf in workshop when i searched it up


    # This is a dummy config file that's there to overwrite any custom Config.ecf being used by the main folder
    # Its purpose is to prevent errors from players using unneeded files outside the scenario that break the game
    # Individual personal customizations can also be applied here without breaking the mod, which people keep doing.
    # Reforged Galaxy v1.44
    # May or may not work. This is a test.
    # ==============================================================
    # As of v1.46 this config file now allows players/server owners to change the limitations by easily finding
    # an aspect change that they want enabled and removing the #'s at the start of each line.
    # Descriptions for each change will be listed above the effect.
    # ==============================================================
    # Optional changes include:
    # Easier Mining (For impatient, lazy people)
    # CV Turrets enabled on planets (For people who just want to blow **** up)
    # Softer CPU Limits (Extenders gain an extra bonus amount of CPU)
    # Lighter SVs (SV regain a degree of mobility. For players with no piloting skill whatsoever.)
    # ARMA Mode FPS (FPS combat enters nightmare mode as enemies deal massive damage, but you can drop them with a few shots)

    That's the one.
    Go down to the section with the title "CV Turrets enabled on planets" Should be the second section down.

    A couple of those sections don't work anymore. Easier mining is slower than the current settings and ARMA mode is from v1.1 and not up-to-date with the current enemies.

    OK, I'm confused...We are running a RF Eden Server and would like to make some of these changes (we are only two players so speeding up drilling, and better damage is a plus) are things we would want to make.

    Where do I find this config that is referenced above? I already edited the config in the scenario folder (currently only the blocks.cfg) for a few things, but are you saying there is another config that I should be changing?

    go to steam in program files(x86) go to Steam then Steam Apps then workshop, now most of the workshop items are named with numbers, so you are going to have to search until you find the Reforged Eden one it has more files and stuff than blueprints and you can check the jpg image to see, then open it and search Config.ecf
