Where Orbital Turret spawns and how to find it
| When the world is generated | Placed on crystal ground in The Shimmering Frontier with a 0.4% chance per tile. Roughly 4 per 1,000 tiles of that ground. |
|---|---|
| Spawn events (respawning) | Spawns on Crystal Crust (a spawning tile) during spawn events, which come round every 15–22 minutes, with a 5% chance per tile (needs at least 6 tiles of it, up to 1 per event). |
How to find Orbital Turret
- Look where crystal ground in The Shimmering Frontier covers a wide area. The chance per tile is low, so larger areas of that ground are more likely to have one.
- It comes back during spawn events after you kill it. However, it does not spawn within 6 tiles of a player, and placing blocks, walls, furniture or torches on the ground stops it from spawning there.
- Lay Crystal Crust near your base to spawn it on purpose (spawning tile chances and layouts).
- It is already placed in the scenes (buildings, ruins and so on) listed below when the world is generated.

The chance is the chance that at least one of the item drops when you kill one enemy (combining the 1 roll(s) of the drop table per kill). The guaranteed group is a group from which exactly one item always drops. Only items that always drop are marked "Guaranteed". Calculated from the drop tables in the game's configuration files (Conf/Loot, Core Keeper 1.3.0.6) the same way the game rolls them.
