I think tanks are reasonably strong in terms of firepower, especially after investing into some research. What I do think they are not, is tanky (as one might think from the name). They also tend to have issues with large amounts of biters, which tends to happen when you clear nests (though the flam...

Flamethrower turrets are already very powerfull (against hordes, as mentioned).
A (more fun than usefull) way to improve them against single targets could be to allow players to manually controll them (maybe remotely? don´t know about that).

@more radars: why not, instead, introduce a (possibly infinite) research that increases radar sight/scan range (and possibly the speed of the long-range scan)?

For faster long-distance character movement (if at all), how about planes? Instead of rockets/teleporters? For better personal train control: Maybe add an option (e.g. via a key) to remotely order a train set to manual to move to a certain point? For example: press [key] -> click on rails next to yo...

I find it slightly strange/irritating that, despite doing exactly the same (producing, storing, transferring and using electrical power) the personal power grid (in modular armor) has no relation whatsoever to the "normal" power grid. I see no reason, why one should not be able to take a w...

At the risk of repeating an already posted idea: How about treating the fluid in pipes like items on transport belts? -Stuff that produces fluids unloads it onto the "belt" (into the connected pipe segment). -every pipe segment transfers it´s content to the next at a defined speed. -junkti...
