Summary
Turntables are mounted platforms for devices.
Machinery such as cannons and tractor beams can be mounted on top of the turntables.
- Turntables enable the mounted device to rotate around their Y-axis.
- The mounted machinery is usually first mounted to a cradle to enable pitch.
Basic information
Turntable's target rotation can be set with universal tool, or by connecting it to a control device such as a lever or a button.
- Set the target rotation to a value between the maximum and minimum rotation. The turntable then tries to rotate to the given angle.
- Turntables come in two different sizes: 72x72cm and 129x192cm
Each turntable has a base that must be mounted to a device base and a rotating piece which can accept a variety of structures Structures differ in shape but they are always designed to house a special cradle or without special side-mounted rotating bits Instead of a struct you can also place a Devices directly onto it for things winch you don't want to be able to elevate A cradle is a middle structure that can only accept certain weapons and devices, which it can power. Cradle only comes in one size and can either mount a single standard weapon (mounted on the bottom of the weapon) or two standard weapons on the sides. Cradle is also wide enough to support a Railgun, mining laser or tractor beam. Side-mounted rotating pieces act as device bases and can accept (power) fixed mounts. Fixed mounts on their own can power weapons mounted on them Turntable speed is determined by the mass of all the attachments so the more stuff you put on it the slower the turn speed Turntables are too weak to withstand the stress generated by thrusters they also provide no cable connection between the ship and the Devices attached

Device fields
To learn more about how to use fields, consult these wiki pages:
| YOLOL field | description | range |
|---|---|---|
| TurretRotation | Target rotation of the turntable | 0 |
| TurretCurrentRotation | Current rotation of the turntable | 0 |
| MaxRotation | High limit of the rotation | 180 |
| MinRotation | Low limit of the rotation | -180 |
| TargetVelocity | Target velocity in which the turntable rotates | 3 |
