Hi!
How can I dstroy creper bases in sandbox mode when you have no character?
I tried destroying them by building turets nearby but my turets always get destroyed before I manage to kill them off.
Any idea of how should I proceed?

That sounds exactly like the program from the regular survival game.
Why doesn't the approach from there work? (I never had real success with rockets against rockets)
+ You can still pick up your turrets before they get destroyed, right?

BTW: Any plans how to grab the artifacts?

With mouse and pick up key. Default is F.

No becouse all the crepers from that base swarms toward my turet and smash it before I'm even able to retrieve it.
I gues I'll have to make so caled moving turret wall. Olacing several lines of turets and then moving lines forward one by one so that I always have bucnh of turets to be able to take down the swarm.
Luckily I have 20 steam engines and 16 acumulators so power consumption shouldn't be a problem.

I'll report my progres a bit later. Have to build whole bunch of Laser turets for this.

Ah, you don't have a pick and thus remove things ultra-slowly?

edit: Ignore this lol
If it's really annoying and you just need them out of the way, research the car That or convince a modder to make a laser rifle or something for you
btw off topic but I've always wondered why you can get a laser turret but all of your weapons are standard projectile weapons, no lasers or plasma guns. maybe it's because we don't have battery packs yet

It looks like as if you missed that this thread is about sandbox/god/player-less mode.

Oops I'm used to thinking of freeplay as sandbox since that's basically what it was. I suppose if I'd actually looked at who asked the question I'd have thought for a second why he was asking...but anyways in that case I'd second the laser turrets idea (longer range and I believe more damage). Or have someone make a mod that gives god powers (earthquakes, fireball, lightning, etc). Or even better simply give the option to place other creeper/creeper-spawners (on the player's force of course) though I suppose you'd need an easy way to command them Honestly I've been a bit busy with learning java and haven't really played the god mod yet

Should I take this as a compliment or as an insult?

A compliment of course, if I'd thought that it could be taken as an insult I would not have said it

That's why I thought, but still had to make sure
