... I will leave this in ideas for raiguard to give some feedback if he wants to.

Thank you, the method you mentioned is the one I am currently using, but I still feel that it is not very good. I don't know who you mean by 'raidguard', is it your boss? I hope he can see and take this issue seriously.

To quote FFF # 429
"Demolisher combat can be fun and strategic. Each one is a boss fight to unlock a new territory. Demolishers are definitely the toughest enemies in the game. When something which at first seemed impossible to kill, can later be killed quickly and efficiently due to a well-executed ...

... could be implemented the game needs to support more types of enemies. Because a mod cannot handle all the movements and other behavior without massive cpu-usage.

I'll throw these here for those who want different types of enemies. :D

Enemy manager to spawn different types of attack waves (e.g flyer waves, drop ships waves). You can also manage enemy strength, how each race spawns, how they expand and etc.

It would be possible to just accept an incoming voice or video call and the game would go quite automatically. As is any interruption of game ...

My boss has one form of colour blindness. He asked me this afternoon if I could change some colours on an Excel graph I'm producing because he can't distinguish some sort of orange with some sort of green. I spent 20 minutes juggling with colours to try and produce a version of my graph (4 colours ...

... saying something is better than nothing, but I also fully understand a potential mod creator not to wanting to produce a result that doesn't meet his/her standards. I hate when my boss explicitly requests me to do something despite the fact I consider of inadequate quality what I'm able to produce.

Awesome, but impractical. This one would probably sooner show up in a mod like being a boss in Rampant.

... by some internal function override, or by calling it on tick, it is still going to be slow.

Factorio isn't a typical game. You can make 1 of your boss units, and it will be fine.
But in Factorio, scale beats everything. People will expand the map and have 10,000 of your boss units,
Or place 200,000 ...

Let's say, I'm gonna code a boss. I need to control the boss to move, shoot some projectile. Even in the very simplest case, the boss doesn't care where the players are, I need to ...
