It would be kinda cool if there was an option for thrown grenades/poision capsules/slowdown capsules to just explode on landing, as silly as it would be. Such a thing could be combined with AAI's biter detection buildings to create a janky 'turret' of sorts.

I know this is probably out of scope but I wanted to mention the idea atleast. :)

I'm all for janky turrets 😆. Wouldn't the primer bounce pad already let you do that? Or do you mean an inserter that can prime and throw those kinds of items by itself without having to use the primer pad?

I didn't even realize the primer pad was a thing, I am blind.
But yes, being able to just prime it from the inserter itself would look more cleaner for some setups I suppose, plus doesn't the long thrower inserter throw things further than a bounce pad can 'bounce' things? XD

When a primable thing lands on the primer pad, it gets a range boost to 40 tiles. There's still an argument to be made for a primer inserter though, I'll INVESTIGATE when I have time 🔍🧐
