    Turrets red = you didn't build a turret factory first.

    In order to build turrets you have to first build a turret factory. Then you can only build turrets in about a 50 foot radius around the factory. If you want to build turrets near the enemy hive, you'll have to build a factory near there.

    Also if there is a levelo of water around the hive, you cannot build there... I dunno why.. it just doesn't like it.

    The <a href='http://www.natural-selection.org/manual/techtree.html' target='_blank'>tech tree</a>, straight out of the NS manual.

    Excellent tech-tree, Comprox. I'm sure that's exactly what led howwie astray. This tech tree makes it seem like you only need to <i>have</i> a turret factory to build turrets.

    The turret factory isn't really a factory, you should think of it more as something that supplies the turrets around it with power and ammo. You can only build turrets within a radius of the turret factory, and, also very important, when the turret factory is killed, the turrets stop shooting.

    Basically, you have to build a TF at the new location, and make sure the turrets cover all sides of it, so skulks can't get behind it and eat it.
