[2.0.14] Tesla turret does not damage asteroids

Post by Zymoran »

Tesla turrets do not deal any damage to asteroids.

How to reproduce:
1) Place tesla turret on space platform
2) Power tesla turret
3) Travel to any planet
4) Tesla turret will fire at incoming asteroids, but the direct hit and its arcs do not deal any damage to any asteroid types.

A physics argument can be made that tesla turrets can not work in space, but in that case the tesla turret shouldn't be able to shoot at all.

*Edit: Shouldn't it be impossible to place tesla turrets in the same way that flamethrower turret can not be placed in space

Thanks for the report. Asteroids have 100% electric resistance and as such don't take damage from the tesla turret. You can see this in Factoriopedia.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.
