Searchlight Assault

Adds a game map and searchlights which sweep for foes at great range, alerting you while directing adjacent turrets to snipe spotted foes.

Designed to dovetail with the early-mid game, searchlights provide:

  • GUI & Circuit network interfaces for search & detection I/O
  • Incentive to automate lamp & combinator production in the early game
  • New tactics to assault biter bases without leap-frogging turrets! (Advantages are balanced by scaling electricity consumption & time between shots.)

The multiplayer map sl_escape is a tense challenge designed to be run by 1 - 8 players in 1 - 4 hours.
Sneak past the lights, improvise tools as well as plans, and escape on the rocket before the prison is overrun!
