Dear me, I haven’t seen Zardoz for years. It was ground-breaking stuff in its day. There’s no way in the world that model’s been made using regular NMS building tools. (edit) The 1974 original Voldrang ~~stole it from~~ was inspired by. ![Zardoz1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/7/9/797507f30ab9a83a17766f7712d1f43a77062a6d.jpeg) ---

> [@toddumptious](#): > > Finally decided on a settlement from my short list, went with the island paradise. Happy to have this freshly acquired settlement to now build upon even more. I used to hate when you’d get to the tail end of building, and you were met with yet another choice of, stardock or water tower? And boy I hated those water towers. Well they have spiral stairs now. I love water tower 💕 you are like inside out lighthouse now 💕 ![1000038874](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/8/3/83923fdd37e95f394c2126dae5ef9a6e6a363783.jpeg) I have yet to upgrade any buildings or look into it so these spiral stairs seem to be there by default. Now can we get spiral stairs for our bases next? I wonder what else got a huge functional change to it’s looks outside of aesthetic additions? ---

> [@sheralmyst](#): > > Now if only I could keep the butterflies from slipping in thru the windows and pushing me out of build mode… I see defence turrets crop up occasionally as user requests, maybe some day they’ll be a thing to keep the critters out. I wouldn’t say no to one of those automated retractable turrets from derelicts. You could set it to target creatures, sentinels, unknown travellers or a selection of the bunch. I would like to imagine it would take out those butterflies before they ahd a chance to mess with your build cam but knowing this game… It will probably just miss and shoot you out of build cam 😛 ---

Defence turrets already exist as an installable settlement option. They reduce the likelihood / frequency of sentinel attacks. Trouble is, you can’t see them. You can find them listed in your settlement assets, but they have no physical presence. ![turrets](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/etarc/original/3X/2/0/20cf78b92ee374c81b3ccf385584e4c550ebf51c.jpeg) ---

Main takeaway: If you want to decrease attention by the authorities, install some automated canons in your backyard. Yeah, I’m sure that works well… 🤪 ---
