✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real annoyance—no more getting nailed by your own defenses (167 endorsements back that up)
- Tiny download, so it's a quick add to any mod list
- Straightforward fix with no extra bells and whistles to fiddle with
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in February 2023—might not play nice with the latest game patches
- Only affects ballistas—if you use other turrets, this won't help you
For 7 Days to Die players who rely on ballista turrets for base defense but are tired of friendly fire incidents.

- If you're playing on a dedicated server, the mod needs to be installed on the server side too—otherwise it won't work for anyone.
- Check the mod's compatibility with your current game version after updates, as it hasn't been updated since 2023.
