A secret octopedal project? That's intriguing!
Hmm... a new enemy type, of the arachnaid family? Or maybe a new type of crawling combat robots? :twisted:

I would really like to see a 'bunker' style turret for the late game defense. It does not matter what it it's armed with, it just needs tons of HP to survive the end game waves long enough for laser turrets to clear them out. Maybe even an option for slow self repair in form of putting repair packs as 'ammo' inside it.
Laser turret with shields? For outposts where player does not want to spam roboports and supply repair packs.
Maybe even something working like roboport but for combat drones?

You will be surprised to see how fast those sweets disappear in a hard working environment.

I really like the idea of the self repairing (slowly) turret using repair packs. maybe use a research to unlock that after robots?

As to the snacks that is a small care package. But maybe I am skewed

As an American, those sweets are going to last for only a week.

Oh, and you may want to buy scooters.

And camo hats.

And MP5's.

And Eagles.

Here's hope he takes a look at the stone furnace also, it quite literally looks ancient. As in, it's like something egyptians would use :lol:

What, no Hershey chocolate bar? As for quantity, our Holloween tradition is (was) to fill a pillow case or two full of candy.

Yes, I agree ! The graphics are evolving nicely, a lot of the sprites in-game are becoming more clear and distinctive. I am also excited to see what the new features entails ! As always the progress of the game is coming along quite nice.

Well, considering it's build from stone what would you else expect?

semi secret mini project with 8 legs
I really hope it's a new enemy (even though we got the spitters not that long ago) - we really need an enemy that's either FAST (faster than a biter, at least) and weak OR is slow but tough - main idea would be that they are able to climb over our walls and get inside of our factories to fuck shit up. Nowhere would be safe. But I suppose this'd be quite hard to get the balance right with.

A new vehicle isn't necessary (Tank is already OP as it is) and not "realistic" (I know...) and I can't imagine anything else beside arachnids or vehicles that has 8 legs.

I'm still hoping those 8leggers are mining bots.

Seriously, with how important mining is to the game, there should be more options to it.
