Just give us airplanes

and flying enemies to follow them :3

And boats!
because oceans would be cool to be able to go through :d

Flying boats?

final fantasy boats?

And diggers, tanks, submarines, underwater buildings, moonbases, teleporters and parallel dimension travel machines.

and creepers

It would be fun if we have boats and water flow in rivers and modify terrain and build canals..

Oops, I forgot that pollution goes down the river..

And have volcanoes as well.

The game could have been something like The Dust.
That'd be fun.

We already have those, they are called biters.

If your talking about the minecraft creepers.... Get me a sprite sheet for them and ill Mod in enemy's that explode on your stuff to fight it.

Airplanes would be a nice addition to the game, especially when roads and pathways are finished and implemented. Their use would be scouting over long distances with rough terrain. A plane would be able to get shot by worms, spitters, and enemy turrets (once multiplayer team system is implemented). This would add more depth to scouting areas for ores and biters.

Could you use a smaller signature banner image thing? It's a bit distracting.

Anyway, there's the small plane in the singleplayer campaign. Unusable at the moment, but it does seem like an indication of the future.

With runways, hangars, and air traffic control.

Oh, heck yeaa!! Say first it requires an airfield: stone, iron, wood. Then a control tower: circuits, stone, iron.

Finally the plane itself: wood, engine units, metal, wire.

The plane takes only light oil as the fuel.

The plane has two modes: auto (same as the trains -- between two airfields) and manual.

The spitters can take a plane out )

Might be a bit gamebreaking to be able to fly a plane. However, combat drones might be a nice touch, able to dive-bomb alien bases (but be somewhat vulnerable to fire, so not completely invincible, but a lot less risky than trying to attack yourself) or to defend vs. attacks (especially the spitters which outrange turret defenses :/).
