Siege Turret Problem

Could someone tell me what are the requirements for siege turret? I know that you have to upgrade turret factory to advanced turret factory but I did this many times and still couldn't place siege turret after factory was upgraded. And I had enough resources..

    Well, the green circle won't appear even if you have the upgrade, did you make sure that the placement model/blueprint really couldn't be placed?

    After I upgrade turret factory I can see that green circle, but really cant place siege turret there. I can place normal turrets anywhere in the green circle without problems. Maybe its some bug?

    Where was the turret factory, and where were you trying to place the siege? Screenshots, if possible, please.

    Well, I placed the turret factory in various places and I always tried to place siege turret in the green circle, even right next to upgraded turret factory without success. Dont have any screenshot at the moment, but will try to make some next time.

    Just in case you didn't know, you have to upgrade each turret factory if you want to use a siege for that one, not just upgrade any of them. For example, upgrading the turret factory in base and then trying to place a siege turret next to a turret factory in a hive room won't work. So make sure you're upgrading the correct TF.

    I've found that in some matches, after upgrading the turret factory, a marine has to +use it. It sparks, makes "building" noises, and then, after a few seconds, activates, and siege turrets can be placed without trouble.

    In some matches, I don't think anyone +uses the turret factory, and it still upgrades.

    An odd quirk I'm sure others have noticed, as well.
