Has Rotating Anchor

Description
A large and strong rotating anchor with a high amount of armour. It does rotate slower than the GSO alternative, but it's tough as nails.


The GeoCorp Rotating Anchor is a grade 2 Manufacturing block manufactured by GeoCorp. Like all GeoCorp blocks, it can be crafted with a GeoCorp Fabricator.

It has 20 attachment point(s) and takes up 8 cell(s).

This block must be anchored to function and can only be placed upright.

Usage[]

The GeoCorp Rotating Anchor breaks the pattern of fixed and rotating anchor pairs having the same health. It has 2.5 times more HP than GeoCorp Fixed Anchor or 1.8 times more HP than Hawkeye Anchors, thus making it the sturdiest dedicated anchor overall.

Thus it is perfect for building a heavy sentry gun with a lot of heavy blocks on it, especially when every anchored AI Module can't take the weight. However, this also makes it only suitable for late-game usage where heavier weapon blocks and more powerful shields/batteries offer more options. Due to the slow turning speed, it is wise to have smaller weapons on everywhere possible that covers most of the blind spots.

This is comparable to the Hawkeye Rotating anchor. The Hawkeye one rotates slightly faster and has a similar level of capacity, though still lower than this one. It also has only 12 attach points and is smaller, on top of having lower hp..

Overall this anchor is really reliable for the room that it potentially leaves for all the defensive options. Just don't expect to have a large number of them.

Trivia[]

  • This anchor has the slowest rotation speed out of all anchors.
  • The gears within can be seen spinning when it is rotating.
