Shock quick tip for building in lunar, if you take off your tek legs you can press CTRL to punch instead of having to cancel the build placement to punch upwards.
if youre building this on gen 2 it needs to be done with metal double doors so it cant be broken as easily by tek tapi rushing and it needs a 1.2x forcefield over the gen box so it wont get dropped by a cannon. also dont use stairs for connecting foundations, instead use a fence foundation on the lowered foundation on the side of the higher foundi. when you do it you shouldnt be able to see the metal beads on the side of the foundi anymore.

A good tip for the sky towers, put floating turrets all the way up in the middle, that way the sky tower is supported by the hatchframes as well, plus added protection

Can anyone tell me how to build the cage of a tower if it’s uneven? I saw a corner pillar and the got a big cage around their towers but idk how they built that because it was uneven
Shockist just a question. When lowering foundations I seem to lose the ability to build 2 ceilings out? "Structure not supported" Have you ever encountered this?
hey, so say you're on unofficial and people have insane tames that can soak pretty well, am i allowed to add as many turrets to this and it still works the same? or will too many turrets mess with the LOS of the original build?
@@nationv2 but on flip side many racer builds can smack into a vault drop tower and kill it np at all something that it can't do here. With this build u basically gotta drop 64 double door frames spread over a 14x14 area. Your gonna need Alot of meks to do that with any sort of speed. Time will tell I suppose. But I see ppl using this more and more nowadays.
@@GrabnarMyers after my last base being raided due to holding a riot shield, I think you want turrets stacked to get the most dps at any given spot without weakness anywhere.
this is better than the vault one because like you said, the turrets will shoot from every part and on the vault one the turrets won t shoot and the second reason is that sometimes the turrets by the other sides will bug and shoot in the vaults. So don t waste your time to drop vaults on towers because it takes a lot of time and it doesn t deserve.
Does anyone know how to build a cage tower on a hill because when I build it all my hatchframes don’t have support.I drag all the foundation up and down using pillars to snap and dragging it down I do ceiling pillar then snap foundation but the hatchframes at the top of the net wont snap
Yes, exclude carbos on all your turrets, EXCEPT for a few AUTO turrets! Capped auto turrets (1400) take as long to soak as capped heavies (5800). 8 or 12 autos on skelies is fine, you can also have all your heavies on survivors only (when all autos get destroyed your tower is done). Heavies don’t contribute to your tower’s dps as much as teks do so the few autos isn’t a big deal. Please note, if you have the arb to cap all your turrets go for heavies instead of autos because of the disguise. If you don’t, cap all your autos and spread the rest of your arb over the heavies, the autos will take ages to soak so karki carboing or carbo bombing your soaked heavies ain’t a thing. If you’re going to build on gen1 lunar, use a skiff (without structures on it) to build, it’s way easier than punching your way around. You can also put an exomek on the skiff so you can pick up and have longer build range, your tribe mate will have to fly the skiff though.
those are my only tips for crystal isles for you along with turret towers on the walls so they can fly over your base to scout and claim the land in front of you and claim the log than make 4 sandis with main base near the water for ezy escape just in case they miraculously get i 3 minutes ago make a base on that log near the end of red forest they will have to magmasaur raid you or cannon raid they cant soak your turrets without a ramp and if you ace spam on top with a turret tower mix of death wall around your base

why metal frame? except only tek?
I dont play official but do you think this tower is better than a 4x4 on a 300 turret cap server?
Could you possible do a video on building multiple floors on uneven terrain. Would be alot of help, ty.
It's pretty easy just use pillars stairs and triangle foundations
shockist quick tip for building in lunar use a parachute it makes you fall way slower and you can control yourself much easier
How about the best cave turret wall? I’m building a Center pearl on Friday and looking for the best design
Why do u build metal and then tek next to each on the double door frames
Can i ask why tek and metal door frames? Is one or the other not better? Asking because im going to build this 2moro
tek structures are highly vulnerable to tek saddles, and metal is vulnerable to cannons, but they are strong against each others weakness
why do u use tek and metal double doorframes?
Noti gang
Great Vid!
Nice tower and great tutorial
what your recomment with turrets settings med range high player or player and tamed
how does it make it stronger using tek and metal doorframes ?
i cant get the doubledoorframe to connect with the hatchframe when i have lowered foundation
what is the point of making it so high up? the turrets at the top wont reach a stego or something that is soaking.......
They called sky towers for a reason to prevent things coming from the … SKY
Thats a masterpiece
Beautiful, simply beautiful
nice one shockist .
Great video thankyou.
Shockist just a question. When lowering foundations I seem to lose the ability to build 2 ceilings out? "Structure not supported" Have you ever encountered this?
So when trying to place the top of cage, The hatchframes aren't supported, Even though there is snapped foundations for below.
so u need to make sure its snapped , there is many ways to connect it u can use Stairs or double door frames
@@Shockist thanks man
fire. ty for the vid.
Love it need more!
would it be beneficial to make the outside doubledoorframes half tek half metal too?
Is there any way this could be built with a normal gen and cables?
Ummm no
i like it and think it will do the job but gl holding that tower on hard offi against mek rush meta :D

Es necesario poner lo tek? Cimientos y Marcos de puerta?
So the thing I’m scared about with survivors only is can’t they just drop an arthro and destroy the whole thing?
@Shockist Is this also the strongest Turret Tower outside of the lunar biome?
in many situations on official(not smalls) vaultdrop towers are the better option it built properly with doublevaultdrop because mekrushing is a thing
Going by that this build would be better as more turrets would shoot the meks
Vault drop towers are shit. You can't say they better against meks when half the turrets don't shoot 🤣.
@@sumguyonabike8776 Ik what you mean but you also got about 6x as much HP on your Tower before it drops

@@sumguyonabike8776 the Generator especially in lunar can be ome an easier target also vaultdrop should be done double
Why so high? Turrets can’t reach floor? Wouldn’t it be more efficient if lower?
Im wondering the same thing. Couldnt someone just get a tapejara platform and fly to the top to kill the little tower too anyways if not ignoring it
@@GrabnarMyers after my last base being raided due to holding a riot shield, I think you want turrets stacked to get the most dps at any given spot without weakness anywhere.

How do I resuply the turrets use ammo box I guess right
Why do you put a double metal frame and another tek?
Why is it done with one tek and one metal door frame? Is there any strategical reason behind it or is it just a flex?
Tek is strong against c4 and metal is stronger against Tek weapons
