I'd like to request a patch for a mod as well https://mods.factorio.com/mod/AtomicArtillery
It's nothing dramatic, the automatic artillery fire simply thinks that the AOE of the nukes is the same as normal artillery, so it spams the nukes and just wastes them. That's all.
I assume it's because of the multiplier? No idea. Would be nice if you could take a look at this one.
