Hi,

i just like to thank your for your great Mod!

(and to point out, that the stacksize of Nukes is 10, so your worries about 500 Nukes is to no avail)

With this mod it is possible to play the Rampant Mod with (almost) Vanilla weapons....

Nice to hear that, thanks!
Yes, you are right... I've played with mods such a long time that I forgot the vanilla max. stack size of nukes.

by the way...
do you know of any method to get coordinated from enemy nests without putting them in manually?

I'm not sure but I think the AAI Mods (Programmable Structures, AAI Signals, AAI Zones?) have detector buildings that output coordinates.
It's a bit dangerous since a lot of wiring would be required and a small error could cause a nuclear strike in the middle of your base.

Automated target designation is the next big thing on my todo list for this mod.
I'm just not certain how to implement it. The search algorithm is not very performant and I don't want my mod to have a bad impact on the framerate or cause stuttering. The only solution I have until now would be to save all biter nests to an array and update it each time a new one is build or destroyed... Not perfect either...

i thought about that,
logically, all known nests must be present in some array already (i have not looked into the API or the source code, this is only a guess)

Maybe. If so, my factorio modding skills are not sufficient to access the array :/
I think some kind of grouping the nests into clusters could help too. A missile with 3 nukes should not target a single nest.

makes sense
