So, I have a turret that is pinned on a concrete block.
The problem is that whenever a particle settles under the turret, the turret is forced out of its place by the particle.
I've set DeepCheck to 1 and PinStrength to something even higher then it was (Currently stands at 9000000), but it still gets forced out of its place...

Here is how it's placed and here is what happends.

What causes this/How do I fix it?

Code:
function Create(self)
self.stayPos = self.Pos
end

function Update(self)
self.Pos = self.stayPos
self.PinStrength = 9000000
end

Forces it to say in one position.
That is also a great looking turret.

No idea if this will work, but maybe also have

Code:
if self.pos ~= self.stayPos then
     self.Pos = self.stayPos
end

Code:
function Create(self)
self.stayPos = self.Pos
end

function Update(self)
self.Pos = self.stayPos
self.PinStrength = 9000000
self:ForceDeepCheck(true)
self:EraseFromTerrain()
end

Try that.
Oh, and try use stronger materials for your deepgrops.

Dunno if this helps:
I believe Shook has a good solution for it. Some kind of corridor cleaner.

I've 'solved' this problem on my turrets with having an invisible magazine drop on reload which gibs and blasts away surrounding crap. (an invisible non-mos hitting grenade.)

Still moves, but in a somewhat different way...
Instead of just popping out of place when facing opposite direction, it kinda slides away...
Also, changed DeepGroup to Mega Metal, it doesn't seem to change anything.

@ Gotcha
But I don't want the ♥♥♥♥ around removed :(

This is freakin' annoying.
I have another MOSR emitter turret that is also pinned, but it doesn't move when particles settle in it.

Curse this blasted thing! D:<

Try surrounding your turret with a bunker module, maybe the crap won't annoy you anymore.

Example : That metal thingy around your turret could be a bunker module instead of some kind of attachment. You should just put a longer cannon so it doesn't shoot itself.

That won't change anything.
It is being forced out of place whenever a particle settles inside the turret's base.
If something is settles in the shields it doesn't effect it in any way.

And it doesn't shoot itself either, a longer cannon would change nothing except AI would be able to destroy it without getting through the shields first.

Post the code so we can examine it.
