Are you talking about the vlf here? I don't think it works out that way, I think it _starts_ that way, but having that big empty distance between camps means it's more likely expansion groups will find a spawning point between the (much larger) existing camps... It remains constant after you reach ...

Thing is, the submachine gun _isn't_ as strong at that point. Even with uranium ammo it does about 20% less DPS vs spawners than the shotgun, and it eats ammo like candy, 4-5 times faster, Did you take into account the spawner's armor? Even so, you're not counting the missed pellets, or the pellets...

Thanks for the testing! You've yielded some valuable data! I've still never found fire patches from upgraded flamethrowers to be particularly threatening to the Tank, but then again I'm the kind who prefers to just pass through fire patches and not hang out in them (because I always use the tank wit...

The Tank has a flat fire reduction of 15 points, since fire is dealt in many small chunks it's never going to come close to overcoming that resist. [*]A flamethrower turret fireball deals 3 damage (this means you need +400% fire damage before it can overcome the flat resist of a tank) Please play-t...

I used to build rockets before the technology tree was changed with the new science packs. Launching rockets now requires an hundreds of hours and a massively complicated base. I don't understand how that is a problem? The game development is bad because the devs are keeping the playerbase busy? Ga...

And Flamethrower. Not really, when you have to kill spawners to get them out of your way so you can move. Maybe it works better with upgrades, I don't know. I always avoid flamethrower damage upgrades because the base flamethrower damage kills big biters really fast yet the tank is almost imperviou...

Train engines should come with a liquid fuel tank that you have the option to use.

I'd still say it should only work if you're standing in a charging dock. it means it has to check once when you stop moving in a few specific spots. it also means you'll be heavily reliant on batteries, because you charge them, then run and do things. It's also a good reason to set the throughput h...

That tactic doesn't even work on big camps. You sure you don't want to inject a dose of uncertainty into that claim? Quite certain. Reading your posts, I have to assume you've never played on very low frequency enemies. I don't think you've ever seen a big camp. I've encountered camps the size of t...

You can't for example use tactics like luring the biters away into a trap and then strike the undefended nests (or in multiplayer have someone else hit the base while you distract the inhabitants). Of course you can, substitute "undefended-enough" for "undefended" and that's the...

using the flame thrower turret would require serious oil reserves afaik oil usage of turrets is absurdly low It is. You'll lose more oil changing your mind about where the pipe should go than you will to the turrets' usage. If you make a system of flamethrower turrets, fill their pipe line once and...

Imho the main problem with current biters is that they respawn almost instantly. THIS!!! If this were changed, it would take a lot of rebalancing from scratch, but I really dislike that we've been going down this route for so long. I just feel it would be way more fun if biters had a far slower res...

To rewrite it the more useful way it would be extremely inefficient - either every single ghost on the map would need iterating in a single tick, or every single Roboport would need to do a check for covered ghosts (and good luck with overlapping ranges). It's never impossible. There's always a bet...

I can't wait! I assume you've seen the feedback I've given on a few other posts on the forum. If you would like more details, let me know where to put them.

Sure Bob. However, even current default settings are hard for me, despite way over 500 hours of gameplay. I'm not ashamed to admit I'm a shitty player :) This is why it is important to be able to change the difficulty. I want it harder, you want it easier. Actually the biggest problem I have with t...

It is a fact that changing the biter settings does not change the amount of spawners. This has been thoroughly tested. In fact, changing the size setting does nothing at all to spawner generation. Deathworld has the same number of spawners in a given area outside the starting area as any other world...

I agree that any difficulty settings should be available immediately, and I expect the dev team to actually test the difficulty settings and verify they work. And i'm pretty sure the devs are intelligent enough to not spawn in behemoth biters in the first mission. Have some faith. This is the dev te...

Neat, thanks!

Markdown should be abandoned to die. End of story. It never had any use and it never will.

- Grid size is 5x5 and 7x7? So many modules are 2x2. This creates pointlessly awkward layouts with lots of dead space (PSPs are dead space) to function. - Armor scaling too heavily set towards mk2. It's easy to skip mk1 for many reasons, but the biggest reason is that mk2 is so overwhelmingly super...
