In my opinion nerfing the plant turrets would hit the low level players, solo players and small tribes the hardest. The plant turret is the only defence untill you can build an auto turret and still the amount of gun powder it takes to fill the turrets is ridiculous for a solo player.
i am in a 2 man tribe and filling plant turrets is becoming a chore as is with the dung beetle. Now we need to get another dung beetle just to keep up.
i understand having to do maintenance but the whole game shouldn't be a constant grind to refill your turrets. Please devs re think this. As nydarri said, play the game. Play as a solo player or a 2 man tribe and get wiped repeatedly untill you grow so many plant turrets that raiders just look at it and say "nope". Plant turrets are our only salvation!
PS- I'm finally to the point where I could feasibly tame a quetz and it's getting nerfed... *Sigh*
