anyone else find demolishers boring to fight?

[spro123]

so the demolishers are very big and string but the only thing you need to beat them is 20 gun turrets with ammo it would be a lot more fun if it was like a boss fight where you could beat it with a tank or something. the issue stems from the fact that demolishers are basically immune to everything expect bullets and the fact that the regen is so fast that if you don't have a large steady stream of damage then you can't even scratch it

There are multiple ways to kill a Demolisher, and turrets are not the best option.
Killing it with 20 turrets requires either uranium ammo or multiple damage and speed upgrades. If you have those, you can also kill it with a tank.
Try to start on Vulcanus, or at least get there early, and kill the Demolisher with 20 turrets. Even more fun, when you have to kill medium one to get your first tungsten ore patch.

The demolisher fight is 100% fine. Factorio isn't a classic combat orientated game. It's an automation game, and you win if you understand how to automate everything - including combat. Fighting a demolisher is as satisfying as taking out the trash or popping pimples. That might sound negative, but you always have a strange feeling of satisfaction and fulfillment afterwards.

Well they are boring to fight but this isnt a combat game.

The best solution, get a tank, get green ammo shoot them in the tail. That solves your immediate needs.
Afterwards come back with a railgun.
Then again they are boring because they are on a pretty boring planet to begin with. Cant have interesting enemies on a planet that is easy mode from start to finish.
