"turret creeping" = you don't bring guns and ammo, instead, you only bring laser turrets to destroy alien spawners. (...) thanks for clearing it up for me :) In that case I can think of one good solution - object construction/deconstruction (as it shouldn't be limited to only construction...

I think it would be very interesting if they implement something like age of empires 2 wololo conversion on creatures, so you can use some of them as inventory extension, base protectors , attack prediction (you know, hive mind and psychological shit), weapon testing and development.... But we alre...

Only one question - what do you mean by nerf "turret creeping"? Nerfing turrets at all, or making some super-hyper-logarythmic factor that decreases their efficiency depending on the number of turrets in some area? Also I think I don't really know what "turret creeping" is in gen...

You know - I posted this as a joke, but now that I seriously think of it, biter pens are not a bad idea. Really, it's quite the opposite.
After all, haven't man tamed wild animals, to do his biding (limited as it may be)?

Fixed possible save corruption when roboport was destroyed while robot was repairing it. (37647) Hmm, but imagine the little robot drama and its existential crisis. I think it's kind of like a moth that flocks around electric lamp. For her it's the moon, she was supposed to use as a guiding light. ...

I bow before you, and your movie player. Keep up the good work, and maybe we'll see Factorio VR one day:)

Not a problem, and welcome to this lovely station :) Now that you're brought up to speed, pick a wagon and hop on the hype train - train , mind you - for a hell of a ride :) Unless you're not a Factorio Railway enthusiast. Hype car, then? Or maybe a hype tank? Or hype biter, if you like it extreme :P

omg

Now that you mention it, this render really seems too flat... Oh well, I'm going to stretch it then

Well, a bit late but still - first off - the render, even though simple (or maybe because of that), is beautiful, made it to my wallpaper :) Now, about optimalisations - the game runs smooth for me, I didn't notice any drops so far, co - needless to say - I am really pumped to see it getting even mo...

Nuclear reactors should not go boom if they are maloperated in this game, its straightforward enough to automate them in real life and factorio is a game about automation. However in real life we don't have biters, so I think they should go boom if they are chewed on. Its up to the player to "...

So the big problem the incredibly careless player now has to suffer is not their base missing after a nuke happened, but a massive wave of incoming biters to their newly blacked out base with a reactor that is basically an immovable slag pile and a cloud of pollution that won't be going anywhere fo...

Another reason for circuits & explosion possibility : Yes, IRL "nu-clear" power plants explode extremely rarely, exactly because they DO have heavy automation , that we also should make to work it properly. As proverb says, nuclear reactor is a super-high-tech water boiler... ; ) So w...

No way - I'll have my pretty Mantis Walker. Cars, phah!

Unless there will be mutated bugs that are immune to radiation and, for added fun, glow in the dark. But that would completely defeat the point of nuclear weapons. It's an equalizer when the odds are REALLY stacked against you, not a Discharge Defense! :lol: Actually, some non-hostile glow-bugs eye...

As I've said, I don't like the idea of explosion as such, because nothing in the world just "go pop". Instead I think what was already proposed, a wave of heat, huge pollution, occasional small fires (imo best described by ThePhoenixian, here) would do just fine.

I'd love to clear maps out of biters with a single explosion.

As you could see already, most of us is not a fan of this idea. For that purpose, I'd rather like a regular nuke instead

So maybe one way to implement this, is a tech upgrade for reactors for an improved Reactor Protection System (Actual system in a nuclear plant), which instead of having an explosion, it causes the reactor to shut down for some extended period of time. ... I like that. I see all the ideas actually r...

I've had a thought, so here's a proposed alternative to the reactor explosion, that still remains dangerous and has it's own "cool factor". Instead of outright exploding if it gets too hot, since "no steam" = "no steam or hydrogen explosion" what if the problem is just...

You, I like how you think
