How To Turn Off Turret Friendly Fire on Your Space Engineers Server

Note:

Disabling <EnableTurretsFriendlyFire> only applies to AI-controlled automated turrets. It does not prevent players from manually damaging friendly grids with hand-held weapons, nor does it stop collision physics if friendly ships accidentally ram into each other! Additionally, explosive weapons (like missile turrets) still have a splash damage radius that can occasionally harm nearby friendly blocks if a projectile detonates too close.

1. Log In to Your Panel

7. Configure the Turret Friendly Fire Setting

Scroll through the file or use Ctrl + F to locate the <EnableTurretsFriendlyFire> tag.

To Enable Friendly Fire: Change the value to true so the line reads <EnableTurretsFriendlyFire>true</EnableTurretsFriendlyFire>. Players will need to be incredibly careful about where they place their turrets and how they fly around their base!

To Disable Friendly Fire: Change the value so the line reads exactly <EnableTurretsFriendlyFire>false</EnableTurretsFriendlyFire>. Your turrets will no longer damage blocks owned by you or your faction members, even if they accidentally hit them.
