i Option to allow turrets on ore

6 years ago

I have been having a blast with dangOreus on easy mode with Biters turned up to ridiculous levels. It allows you to massivelly foritfy yourself while not running into a risk of being starved of resources, just what I like!

I wanted to ask if it would be possible to add an option to build turrets on ore as well? Easy mode does make things easy (duh), but with biters on it pretty much doesn't really do anything later into the game as anything that's not hugging your wall is indefensible and will get eaten by biters within minutes anyway. As the game progresses biters force you to give up on building anything but a single row of miners, just like without easy mode.

I would love to be able to build a wall of turrets around an area that I want to join into my base. Those turrets would rely on whatever ammo is in them (you can't build inserters) to protect a 2 miners wide line of miners mining back to back, until they mine out a strip 2 tiles wide, allowing you to put down insterters and actual walls, claiming the piece of land as yours, and then going ham at securely mining the big piece of ore you have earned.

Right now this is possible to do, but only if you babysit the mining operation. You basically have to AFK near the miners until it is complete. I would love to be able to replace that babysit by throwing resources at it in form of uranium ammo and gun turrets.

I understand if this is not very feasible for some reason, or if you don't wish to clutter the mod settings menu too much.

Either way thanks for making this mod a thing!

I'm surprised by your problem with biters.
I play the map with death world settings and marathon (and NOT easy mode), and don't really had problems with biters (Just a bit stress in the early game, I now have the artillery and lasers behind my miners, it's just too easy to keep them away). Only thing I have to help is the bio-industries mod, to control the pollution cloud as much as I can.
But the idea could be good, to dig a path and setup plots away from the base. Maybe an upgrade research to allow this once you can produce uranium (lets say uranium production allows you to craft turrets that could stand on ores )?
