New turret type announcement
"Shoots any type of rocket"
(including atomic bomb).

Refuses to elaborate further.

Jokes aside it looks awesome, but 15 tiles minimum range doesn't sound like safe nuking distance to me

Comes with a disclaimer, do not try this at home

With the whitelist/priority filters and other circuit connection stuff, I kinda want to be able to adjust the range as well. I guess we will see when they playtest it. If all the nukes do is blow up your wall, they will adjust it.

It said there higher turret quality levels will increase range +10% up to 36 tiles. The idea of target selection being important on other worlds is pretty intriguing.

I'm excited about the prospect of actually managing enemy types. Defense is too much of a set it and forget it thing right now imo - by mid-game the biters are barely background noise over my turret walls.

Aquila ,

Plenty far to fuck around and find out!

I never used beacons because they forced you to trade interesting gameplay for performance.

I only use them for oil outposts when they are running dry

They make for an interesting design challenge at first. Until you start reusing the same design over and over again

Letting people play ‘tall’ is great, but the current implementation stifles creativity.

My designs have never been good enough to optimize much. I just scale out instead.

What an amazing compromise they crafted here. I totally agree with them, the regular 12 beacon designs did indeed get very boring, so did the 8 beacon layouts
