Bots fire immunity

Post by evildogbot100 »

Bots should be fire immune, it is very annoying if flamethrower turret put some flame puddle on a building and bots try to repair them at the same time. They will repair each other even so wasting even more repair pack. It's not even adding more difficulty to the game, it is just annoying to see your bots died because they repair each other.

Why is your Flame turret burning one of your buildings? (Walls are fire immune, so they would get repaired, then bots would leave, if your robots flow towards the wall from opposite side that biters attacked from, then they shouldn't ever end up in the puddle of fire next to the walls where the biters were toasted by your flame turret.)

Treat the situation as a design challenge to be solved.

I too am curious why you have chosen to defend your incendiary compatible base structures with FIRE.
