Except there is actually an artillery turret too, in theory you could do the same thing with that, then don't have to mess about with the wagon at all.Koub wrote:1) Lay a rail alongside of current turret wall / border of base defense perimeter
2) destroy all nests on range with artillery wagon
3) wait for the biters to kill themselves on the turrets
4) build new wall very far into what was before biter territory.
This actually totally makes sense.
With the way shells stack, it's currently easier to reload artillery wagons at a central station than to reload many remote artillery turrets.bobingabout wrote:Except there is actually an artillery turret too, in theory you could do the same thing with that, then don't have to mess about with the wagon at all.
It's on a train because of remote production/mining. I have a train hauling 4 artillery turrets. It rolls into a remote base in my player train stop, destroys all the biters in range and the response hits the walls of the remote base. Then I come back home, rearm, and go out to another remote area to clear that up. I suppose you could build turrets at each remote base and send a train to reload them, but I feel like I'm building less this way.Deadly-Bagel wrote:I still don't understand why it's a wagon at all =/ Everything it fires at is guaranteed to generate a large biter response meaning it has to be entrenched behind turrets and walls.
