- Reduced intervals for each level from 3, 2, 1, 0.5 seconds to 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5 seconds.
- Reduced cost from 7500 per level to 4000 per level.
These changes should make the tank useful in the period of the game for which it's designed. I will watch the next few games to check balance and adjust if it's too OP.
- Made changes suggested by grilledham
- Disabled market item when research levels complete so that the tooltip can still be seen
- Changed cost to 7500 extra per level
- Type `/strike [gps=x,y,surface] to send a large cloud of poison into the enemy
- Searches a chest near spawn for poison capsules. Current cost for command is 100 capsules but could be balanced.
- Needs market items adding for technology research, bought with coins.
- Variables strikeCount and strikeRadius start low. As the market upgrades are made (start at 5k each?) the size of teh strike and amount of capsules increases.
- Should be balanced to allow use from mid-game onwards. Don't allow early game use as manual throwing is fine for early outposts. This should be to speed up the boring end-game clearing of worms.
When a combat robot expires and is targeting an artillery wagon, it will now explode. This is a work around for a factorio bug where combat robots do not attack artillery wagons.
Players were using remotely located artillery wagons in lakes to cheesily clear the map with no repercussions. Swarms of destroyer capsules would hover over the artillery but not target it. They would timeout and the player could then refill the wagon with ammo.
I've changed the entity_died_events file to events.lua since it now has on_entity_died, on_player_died and on_combat_robot_expired.
I have added the on_combat_robot_expired event so that when the robots timeout they explode, damaging nearby entities.
