armored conveyor/duct hp buff

Open jehosula opened this issue 10 months ago • 9 comments

Describe what you would like changed, and why.

buff armored duct/conveyor hp pros: if you are going to pay the price, it may as well be good at it cons: annoying to clear each one out also these have too little hp for "armored" also might give them a minor niche that's at least better than the current ones (discussed in # balancing) and the cost can be increased for the high options

Describe the changes you want to propose. Include possible alternatives.

Suggestion: Buff Armored Conveyor and Duct

small: 200 hp, 300 hp modest: 300 hp, 400 hp high: 500 hp, 600 hp very high: 750 hp, 700 hp you can also just give them armor and give a smaller hp buff

Armored ducts also serve a similar purpose to armored conveyors - not accepting non-conveyor/duct input from sides, which may help reduce spaghetti. HP does not matter imo, cuz enemies usually target literally everything other than conveyors first, even if they do, they are already screwed, but hella easy to rebuild.

yeah but aren't they supposed to be ARMORED?

If you want to give them more HP, then prepared for them to cost more.

Because It would not be sane for a conveyor to become a wall replacement.

They can shoot over and walk over the conveyors, so this will literally never become a problem.

It doesn't mean that if they don't get targeted they won't get damaged.

But it still wouldn't work as a wall.

Conveyors/Ducts are not Walls

People won’t use these as walls, then they aren’t walls So hp / item effeciency isn’t a good ballpark

Only concern is it being spammed to block building

Unless you nerf build time to match actual walls.
