Gee Deon, I wonder who could possibly be working on a massive mod-pack for the game? Bonus points if a: A lot of it gets included in the game, b: You make any pixels out of it.

Hmmmm, are there AI turrets available yet, or is it still a cludgy work-around? (a non-moving monster in a poke-ball or spawner? That looks like a turret?)

And can friend/foe/neutral status be set off items or effects? Factions ect?

How interesting. I've happened across a rather unusual legendary sniper rifle. Here's what it does:

-Fires a tiny, explosive projectile. Barely a few pixels across, in fact.
-They explode on contact with enemies.
-When they hit anything that isn't an enemy or destroyable prop (e.g. bushes in a jungle), they stick to the ground. They then explode either after ~4 seconds, or if an enemy steps on it.

So basically the sniper rifle shoots land mines. Sounds like it could be a pain in PvP. xD

Double post, yeah ;)

Pokeball once-off mini-turrets and re-spawning wired turrets wouldn't be that hard to do as long as you made a hard-coded creature with zero movement value. Different turrets for tiers, etc.

If friendly status can be set, then great. Or party-friendly, or racial-friendly. Otherwise, drop-RUN-laugh. Or have a lever and wiring required for fortress defense spawner turrets. At least it won't keep spawning death-turrets if you turn it off.

Are there conditional statements in the raws? Or just "this does that"? Still, hyper-impregnable-fortress planets isn't bad, especially with spawner turrets. Even without friend or foe status.

ps. Flying Dice's sniper rifle sounds like a prime candidate for a high tier turret.

Most interesting weapon for me has been a flamethrower assault rifle. Is pretty neat, if a bit short-ranged. Also it doesn't drain all your energy in five seconds like every other assault rifle, machine pistol and shotgun I've ever seen ever.

Also hi werty

Found what looks like my first USMC facility. Just a bunker with handprint scanners, a projector, couple of security cameras...oh, and GET OUT written in what looks like blood. Floran thinks it says "Happy Birthday" :P

So aside from some cool decorative items, not much in the way of loot.

Yeah, server has locked up again.

Also the fine dining establishment and bar called The Leaky Gasket is more or less open.  Just go up from beam down at the city.

Huh. Found an AR that fires bullets that split into a 3-round cone in midair. Thing is, it drains my 500 energy in almost no time at all. :/

I'm developing a special hatred for birds after they've knocked me off my attempted space tower twice now <_<

How the heck do you make these things anyway? I wanna hunt for asteroids.

You could go all Mario and just add the blocks you need. Dirt goes a long way upward if you can jump (or double jump).

Or make it of steel. Because you can.

(still the least bay12'y thread ever if this sort of shit keeps getting asked)

That's what I've been doing. Problem is birds knock me off and then I die and have to build my way back up again :P

That's why I was wondering if other people had other ideas.

Surround yourself with dirt and shoot them through a tiny hole?

Build it at an angle. That's what me and ochita did. In case of bird related accident you usually have some tower to land on.
