Turret range upgrade.

Post by Dumbgenius »

We already have damage and fire-rate upgrades, so why not a range upgrade? It would help to be able to deal with Spitters, especially the larger variants, and also larger Biters, as the turret would have more time to wear down the enemies' health before the enemy could attack the turret.

I'd also add armor upgrade to this. It would be quite useful to protect from spitters.

Both of those can't be modded in right now since we can't expand upgrade system.

Wouldn't that be just boring?

Ahaja, I move this from Suggestions to Balancing.

It would be certainly easier then my attempt at making those through turret marks in fort mod.

And while might not be needed in vanilla when you go into mod territory some stuff there gets scary :D

It's very similar to a suggestion I made, a month or four ago, and I know that you're expert at finding such older posts.
