Menu simulation showing atomic bomb creating lava lake

Post by fZAqSD »

TL;DR
Add a menu simulation (the gameplay clips that play in the main menu background) showing an atomic bomb being used to create lava for Vulcanus industry

What?
In 2.0.44, atomic bombs gained the Project Plowshare-style ability to make craters containing lava/ammonia lakes on Vulcanus/Aquilo. This is a cool mechanic, and I think it would make for an awesome menu simulation. Imagine the scene: the flat Vulcanus landscape next to a patch of calcite. Nukes fly in from off-screen, blasting a few well-placed holes in the rock. As soon as the blast has cleared, bots fly in with pumps, pipes, belts, rails, a couple of miners, and half a dozen foundries. Within a few seconds, a train steams up and starts taking on molten iron.
Why?
Would be super cool, would showcase a little-known mechanic
