- Ballista: Bronze and Fine Wood
- Steampunk Turret: Iron and Surtling Cores
- Frost Cannon: Silver and Freeze Glands
- Hot Pumpkin: Resin and a Turnip
Tested with dedicated servers, and only required by clients. But probably don't take turrets where people don't want them.
Works very well with ValheimRAFT to create gunboats.
