== Structures ==

Structures are friendly units/objects that spawn in to help you survive the wave or kill the enemy aliens. Structures can be spawned by certain [[Items]] and [[Weapons]] as seen on the lists below.

[[Engineering]] Builds {{StatIcon|name=Engineering}} are based around having turrets and/or Landmines around, which means a lot of structures. 


{{MiniIconbox|name=Improved Tools}} has the ability to increase the spawn rate of  {{MiniIconbox|name=Garden}}'s fruits and the spawn rate  {{MiniIconbox|name=Landmines}}. It also increases the firing rate of turrets. The amount is equal to 50% of your [[Attack Speed]].

You can have a maximum of 100 Structures out on the map at once. If more spawns, random structures of yours are destroyed. Trees are not Structures. Each individual landmine counts towards this limit.

Some Characters have special abilities tied to structures:

* The {{CharacterIcon|Engineer}} has an ability that makes Structures spawn together in a cluster, but it doesn't affect Landmines
* The {{CharacterIcon|Streamer}} gains +2 armor for each structure you have, granted by weapon and items you have. So even {{MiniIconbox|name=Wandering Bot}} grants armor. However with {{MiniIconbox|name=Landmines}} the +2 armor doesn't depend on the amount of mines on the field, but rather just on the amount of weapons and items you have that spawns mines. The same logic applies to the [[Progress|Advanced Technology]] Achievement.


== Scaling & Effects ==


Turrets and Landmines do not scale with Primary [[Stats|Primary Stats]] except [[Engineering]], but do scale with [[Stats#Secondary Stats|Secondary Stats]] and other effects provided by [[Items]].



*  {{MiniIconbox|name=Ugly Tooth}} lets your turrets slow enemies on hit. 
*  {{MiniIconbox|name=Boxing Glove}} adds knockback to your turrets. Which might not be something you want.
*  Turrets can inflict [[Burn]] on enemies with {{MiniIconbox|name=Scared Sausage}}. This fire and the fire inflicted by {{MiniIconbox|name=Incendiary Turret}} can be spread to more targets with {{MiniIconbox|name=Snake}}.
* {{MiniIconbox|name=Landmines}} and {{MiniIconbox|name=Explosive Turret}} are affected by Explosive Damage, and Explosive Size. such as {{MiniIconbox|name=Dynamite}} and {{MiniIconbox|name=Plastic Explosive}} 
* Turrets are affected by [[Piercing]] and [[Bounce]] which can be gained by {{MiniIconbox|name=Bandana}} and {{MiniIconbox|name=Ricochet}}.

== Turrets Fire Rate ==
The base Fire rates of the different turrets are listed below. 

You can increase the fire rate of the turrets with the {{MiniIconbox|name=Improved Tools}} item which makes the turrets scale with 50% of your attack speed.

Turrets spawned by {{MiniIconbox|name=Wrench}} are the same as the turrets spawns by their respective items.

The attack speed of turrets is slightly randomised between each shot to between 70% and 130% of the attack speed. So the Attack Speeds shown here are just the averages.

* In an earlier version of the game, [[Range]] would affect your turrets despite the Tooltip of Engineering Stating otherwise. This was fixed as bug in [[Patch 0.8.0.03]]
