Can the battery be recharged? I don't want to remove the use of the battery to avoid people just abusing the turret, but I can't find a way of charging the battery. If I pickup the battery, I can't place it back.

Last I checked, it was possible to plug in the battery while the minicopter is stationary.

Can confirm; still unable to target and connect to the battery.  The only other mini-related mod we had was minicopter seating. Disabling that mod did not restore battery connectivity.

@devilrun1105, for our server, we're trying the following settings since it's an electricity-free turret.  If this ends up being too OP, we'll just disable turrets until either a fix comes out, or attack copters arrive.

  "Add auto turret to heli": true,
  "Auto turret uses battery": false,
  "Auto turret targets players": true,
  "Auto turret targets NPCs": true,
  "Auto turret targets animals": true,
  "Mini Turret Range (Default 30)": 25.0,

By slightly decreasing the range, and then setting the turret to shoot at literally EVERYTHING that's alive, it forces players to have a higher degree of skill to force the turret AI to select the correct targets, and because it's eager to shoot at literally everything, it drives the ammo costs way, way up.

It doesn't seem to be possible to connect a wire to the battery anymore, so I'm thinking of just removing the battery feature. Alternative options are possible, such as place a battery in then fuel storage to transfer charge, or wireless charge, but those are a bit over complicated.

Is it possible for the mini to detect a state change with the activation of the turret, and then use a different fuel drainage profile?   My thinking would be something along the lines of there being no need for a battery for the turret, but it pulls off of the mini's motor, and results in a higher fuel usage, akin to the small gas generator, in addition to the flight cost of the mini?

Do these mods work on a truePVE server? I set it to auto turret everything, with and without a battery and I can't seem to get it to target anything or see a place to put a battery like mentioned above. Am I doing something wrong?
