Alien juice ?

I was thinking about War of the Worlds, and other alien invasion books or movies. Almost always, aliens are invaders, and humans fight back. In Factorio, humans are the invaders, and aliens fight back.

We could use the aliens, as the aliens in War of the Worlds use humans. To feed.

Alien juice could be a very powerful source of energy, needed to power the most advanced engines (aero-car, laser gun, magnetic fields...).

So, we may need :

- New aliens species, for fun.
- A kind of radar to gather generic intel about aliens.
- A kind of scout to gather more precise intel.
- A lighter, to burn the diplomatic agreement.
- Several kinds of traps, to catch'm all.
- Several kinds of new weappons, to destroy the escaped ones.
- A kind of jail, to keep the aliens.
- A kind of laboratory to test technological things on them.
- A kind of hospital, to test biological things on them.
- A kind of factory, gather the precious alien juice.
- And a lot of fun stuff to use the juice with.

We said somewhere, that ufo is one of our inspirations, and I think that this would be nice think to have in this game.
