Hello, this is my first post here.

I don't know if it is a bug or a feature, but for sure it is very annoying.

On a small island close to my main base, the are 3 worms spawned on an unreachable island. Everytime I am away from the base expanding my mining sites my logistic robots are getting killed flying over those island, trying to supply me with materials. I have literally tried everything to kill those three worms. They are out of range for every type of weapon, I even tried releasing destroyer capsules and pulling the near the worms (5 expensive capsules managed to damage the first one for some points)

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? I was even thinking of suggesting to the developers, to implement some sort of minimum fighting capacity or rechargeable shield ability to research for the logistic robots. Not too strong of course, but to kill this bloody worms after maybe the 50th flyby and logistic robot-sacrifice. Or give us some sort of water walking ability to insert in our MKII-armour . I have played 48 hours so far on this map and building 50 robots each evening (not to mention the lost goods the were carrying) really starts to annoy me ^^

use Laser turrets. Laser turrets have the same range of the big worms.

Edit: oh I saw the distance... I dont know then.

I see
Well sooner or later we will probably make some way to get across the water (bridges, or boats, or flying machines).
For now, the best way to solve this is probably to use the console to kill these.
Open the console by the ~ or / key and copy paste this command there and select the worm while you execute the command by entering it (enter).

Hello Kovarex, thank you very much for the quick answer.

I executed the "game.player.selected.die()" in the console, hovering the mousepointer over different things.

The worms seem rather unimpressed by the command, I only managed to destroy parts of my base, trees and other things. The worms are still there

Thanks again.

Oh, true, sorry, it doesn't work on worms in folded state (bug fixed for 0.7.3), so instead, you can use But 0.7.3 will be ready in matter of minutes

Thanks a lot, that worked

Keep up the good work, I really love your game. Best wishes to Praha!
