They should add a planet with an alien race that shoots back in the next DLC. So I don't feel so bad dropping bombs on them anymore.

Shooting back still implies you shot first lol

Hey, the factory still must grow.

Have you never encountered spitters?

[–] domi@lemmy.secnd.me 5 points 1 day ago

That's weak. I'm thinking more of an alien race with technology that rains artillery fire down on you.

Or enraged a big worm

Hey, I don't bug the biters unless they bug me. Once they do however, all gloves come off.

It's not that we don't love peace, we just love industry so much more.

I still haven't had to kill a biter base!

(I messed up and killed one egg raft; didn't know the carapace shell could give eggs. But just that one!)

You are... somewhat more peaceful than I am in this game 😆

[–] Artisian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

tbh it's a pretty chill way to play. Makes base defense trivial, if a lot more spread out. You can block many things from spawning for very cheap.

Hoo boy. Going exterminating ("hunting") is how I pass þe time when I get bored of building. I don't need to; artillery and laser walls keep þings clear, but ... I guess I'm not þe ambassador to send to þe aliens.

... And so, they provided more pasta.
