I'm getting a little concerned given nothing has even been alluded towards grazing anything content related towards enemy forces, whuch is a core, non-superfluous part of the game. I'm very curious as to what or when there'll at least be even a smidgen or dripdrop of anything related towards efforts with that system as it is just as imperative to the game as having a train, new surfaces, or even having inserters & conveyor belts in terms of both their implementation, interactions, and integration if I were to dare to be bold. And asserting that shouldnt be bold.

Hopefully soon we get at least even a small allusion towards the content in this area, as its been a rather flat sensation given the past two months. Be it an improvement towards performs & behaviors of the already existing Biters, a new weapon type with allusion that theres something we'll need it for; be it a player weapon or stationary fixture turrent or something new that synthesizes a dynamic between both, or a new enemy type we'll have to engage with overall as alluded to in FFF #367. All with the same emphatic flair of having to conceptualize and knead it into the workings of the game just like these new snake arms which are in themselves awesome and appealing as a draw towards this package given how its presented to us.

Greatly looking forward to the news regardless of what's ahead of us, though slightly hoping that those sort of game aspects are given at least a glance or passing nod for the people like me who resonate with Factorio through them so we aren't left in the cold. Factorio, to me atleast, has been one centered as its core values in being a fully featured game after all that respects the people that engage with it.

Nevertheless, enough pitiable groveling at the feet(?) of my machine gods regarding the fate of my people for the sake of logic & industry as the factory must grow. This is awesome stuff as always, thank goodness we didn't just get tractor beams or a silly little paddle n scoop.

But, little off topic, can we build them (or variations) on surface for fishing a fishes od smal bitters to munch them into something useful?

In recent FFF you use word chunk repeatedly for asteroids. This inconsistency is confusing especially when translators of game help or wiki comes to play.

I would recommend use word asteroid or bolide or boulder.
Keep "chunk" in the range of current meaning.

One known issue around the time I was starting out with the collector was platform speed. With high quality thrusters, the platform could eventually move so quickly that turrets could not turn fast enough to shoot incoming asteroids in time.

The expansion contains 4 additional planets. Each of which has its own unique theme, resource, challenges and gameplay mechanics. Most of them also have different military targets.
