How Boosts Work
A common misconception I see is the belief that support towers, such as the flag and the torch, don't stack. However, they do stack. What is more is that they stack multiplicatively.

This means that there is a huge benefit to stacking support towers.

The question then becomes, how do you deal the most damage per second? I had the answer to this, however as I was writing this an update came out. This update made range an actually useful attribute for towers to have. I will be updating this once I figure out a configuration that works best while taking into account the range of a turret soon.
The MATH!
Below is a table displaying the various DPS' of turrets based on the ratio of Gears to Steam Engines. I then multiplied the turret's damage by their attack speed to get their DPS. The highest DPS' are highlighted in yellow.


What Does This Mean?

The second best turret is the cannon. It has a maximum DPS of 67 when surrounded by 7 Gears and 1 Steam Engine.

This is great, because it means that one can have 8 maxed out turrets, dealing a combined total of 736 DPS.
The Layout
Now on to the actual layout. We want our shrine to be touching 4 Steam Engines and each Cannon to be touching by 1 Steam Engine. We then want to encase them in Gears. A diagram of this layout can be seen below.

  • Blue/S - Shrine
  • Yellow/G - Gear
  • Red/A - Steam Engine

New update caps attack speed at 5/second, and adds a stronger tower. Curious how this changes, I dont know where to find default tower attack speed

Some say 8 Windmills around Shrine are better.

@EdwardLThompson please make your own guide then...

@NubieDubie , since posting that comment, I revised that info and formulated a detailed spreadsheet with a handful of different build options and one includes the max DPS build for each turret type. You can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ag5vhIn0EhvPIPP0jIH6PsZsTco5c5T8U4NyNBo9grg/edit?usp=sharing

@EdwardLThompson, I believe your formula for attack speed is incorrect. The game boosts ASPD multiplicatively, therefore 4 cogwheels would instead give (BaseASPD * 1.4 * 1.4 * 1.4 * 1.4), or (BaseASPD * 1.4^4). OP's calculations are correct, 7 Wheels and 1 Steam is the optimal set up.

Max DPS without consideration for Range is as follows.

Shrine: 97.24 Cogwheel (4) + Steam Engine (4)
Heavy Cannon: 65.52 Cogwheel (1) + Steam Engine (7)
Rock Launcher: 60.00 Cogwheel (2) + Steam Engine (6)
Twig Cannon: 55.44 Cogwheel (1) + Steam Engine (7)

I checked your math on this and I believe there are some mistakes. For instance the Shrine, you will get the max DPS with 4 Cogwheels and 4 Steam Engines with no addition to range.

Base Shrine Attack Speed: 2.2
4 Cogwheels: 3.52 (0.4*2.2*4) (40% of Base x 4 Cogs)
Attack Speed Total: 5.72

Base Shrine Damage: 5
4 Steam Engines: 12 (4*3) (4 Engines x 3 Damage)
Damage Total: 17

Shrine Max DPS: 97.24 (5.72*17) (Speed x Damage)

You got the Damage numbers correct but the Attack Speed is incorrect. The first row is correct with the 8 Steam Engines. However, on the opposite end with the 8 Cogwheels, your Attack Speed is way off. At the max, the 8 Cogwheels will provide 9.24 when combined with the base speed.

I have run all 164 variations of the Cogwheel, Windmill, Campfire, and Steam Engine to come up with the best possible combo for each ranged weapon.

Does anyone know the base range on the shrine? The Twig Cannon, Rock Launcher, and the Heavy Cannon all have a range of 6. I'm guessing it must be 10-12 for the shrine.
