second question is there a way to effect A: the amount of energy per shot OR B: energy input rate via upgrades? I'm not sure what the effect would be of it, my scripting skill is next to none :/

aww, copy that, thanks i will just rebalence around that

I know it seems crazy but I am trying to have a research slow attack speed while increasing damage for my unique towers I am making, it shows in game but the speed is having no effect, am i missing something or do i have to do this another way? and yes tower uses a unique ammo/damage type ...

is there a simple way with the new system to have a static entity(no-animations like a pole) to emit a soft glow/light? tring to make a building emit a small glow/light but im not getting any results:


{
type = "electric-pole",
name = "pylon1",
icon = "__Pylons__/icons/SP1.png",
icon_size ...

is it on the portal or is it private, i really wanna check it out(even if its not updated)

just wondering how i can add lighting/glow effects to entities... my old methods don't seem to work in the current version anymore :(

glow_size = 3,
glow_color_intensity = 3,
glow_render_mode = "multiplicative",
light_when_colored = {intensity = 3, size = 3, color = {r=0.4, g=0 ...

that would be amazing, i loved using this mod...
