It has been brought to my attention that vanilla assembly machine 3s could not craft the ion cannon recipe because it had too many ingredients. Version 1.0.2 of the mod corrects this issue. If you have a mod that installs higher-tier assembly machines, however, you will still need to upgrade beyond ...

wait, really? I thought it would unlock with the research. Well, I figured there's really no point in building an ion cannon targeting device before you have any ion cannons to target... Holy hellthis is amazing! I am definitely doing a Mod Spotlight on this in the coming week. :D I am grabbing it ...

The recipe should unlock right after you launch your first ion cannon into orbit. Did this not happen for you?

a few things you could do: -increase cooldown to 15 min -decrease the amount of materials needed with bob's mods -add a heatup time, so the cannon won't fire immediatly when selecting a target -might aswell change the recipies for the rocket parts with bob's mods You can easily change the cooldown ...

Why would you want this? I mean maybe there is something I don't see but you could always restart the game. Because it would be fun to watch? Same reason I made a "H2SO4" potion you can drink but it kills you. :p "Little Johnny took a drink, but he will drink no more. For what he tho...

Hello! These are really great mods! I do, however, have a bug report and a suggested fix: When wearing the new armors defined by the Warfare mod, the player sprites revert back to the poor old armorless default. This is because this mod hasn't taught the game its new armors should also affect the pl...

There are two essentially identical mods that do exactly that:

Well, autonomous mobile attack platforms sure sound like an awesome mod on its own, irrespective of the increased biter difficulty of this mod.

Wow, awesome! I'm glad you liked the initial idea, and your implementation is certainly much more flexible. I'll package an update as soon as I can.

I don't understand why the regular gun & laser turrets wouldn't be able to shoot flying biters. It's not like they'd be flying at 30,000 feet off the ground, surely they'd be just a couple hundred feet at absolute most, and likely rather lower.

Optimally you would choose an existing license such as the GNU GPL or one of the Creative Commons Licenses.

Yeah using transport belts is a common solution to this problem. As the spitters step on the belts, they begin to move, and when they try to spit, the belt pushes them out of range, forcing them to move again before they can get their acid off. The lasers then kill them before they have a chance to ...

In the specs for Prototype/Entity/energy_source/usage_priority, one of the options is "terciary", which is a misspelling of " tertiary " (accumulators and modular armor batteries have this set as their usage priority). This is a very minor spelling issue, but it bugs me each time...
