[Request] Attackports (Roboports with offiensive drones)

Post by Whiskeyplz »

I find the attack portion of the game fun, but a little lacking. Once you have the roboport, blueprints, and turrets, you can destroy any hives, but doing so is pretty much the same in each hive.

In Factorio, we expand automated factories and defenses. I'd like to see an option for the outward expansion, led by drones to take on hives. I think this would be a fun way to clear out regions if you could set a general direction for the drones and let them fight everything in that direction. They wouldn't need to be uber drones, but you would be responsible for replenishing the zerg that you're creating.

Item: Roboport
Drone type: New or Attack Drones / Capsules etc...
Range: Very large, enough to occupy and kill multiple hives.

Automate everything.

I do mods. Modding wiki is friend, it teaches how to mod. Api docs is friend too...
I also update mods, some of them even work.
Recently I did a mod tutorial.
