Unloaders working with turrets #1871

Closed Kubek0212 closed 3 years ago

Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing. Basically unloaders being able to suck items from turrets. This feature works on any container but turrets. As of ui, simmilar effect is noticeable where thorium is unloaded from nuclear reactor- power level goes down as the item amount diminishes.

Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche. As various designs benefited from making unloaders work with factories, this time defensive structures would have wider variety to be made. That's how it could look like: unloaders

Impossibru.

For various reasons that I'm not going to take the time to explain because you could learn them yourself within minutes of investigating, no.

While this suggestion can technically be implemented by preventing turrets from instantly converting items into ammo, it is a bad idea for balance reasons.

It would allow players to concentrate large numbers of turrets in small areas with much less thought and space spent on distribution. You would only have to run a conveyor to 1 turret, then feed the rest using unloaders, as can currently be done with RTG generators. Also, since distribution is the weak point of any turret-based defense, it would make turret defenses much harder to defeat in PvP.

You would be breaking ammo multiplier if you do that though.

Turrets store amno, not items

LixieWulf commented 3 years ago

this is possible, if complicated

Ok, thanks for clarification. Closing
