Please make trains able to run over evolved aliens

spam walls and long belts of ammo and turrets everywhere so your stuff never gets destroyed

Well, it's not the only way. though. Splitting production so more trees could absorb pollution(actually preserving the trees), using green mods. It's always a balance and preference. I do enjoy playing on hard settings DW marathons and sometimes with Rampant, but I think more killing power would make trains a bit too OP, especially considering Train defence line.

i mean, OP is in the eye of the beholder. if someone comes up with the idea to use trains for murderous rampage, then, more power to them. a lot of players avoid trains. this would encourage their use

kinetic energy = m v^2 / 2

i would propose that killing power is proportional to k.e. , equivalently killing power is proportional to speed squared.

for example if 100kph can kill 3 biters before halting, 200kph can kill 12 biters. and the speed reduction should be based on reducing k.e.

also increase loco/cargo will increase k.e. proportionally.

My play style is to kill every nest near the pollution cloud. If the nests never get pollution then the aliens don't form attack groups. And then you don't need walls and turrets at all.

And with artiellery it's just a matter of building a small turret outpost to protect the artillery, clean up all the surrounding aliens and then you can deconstruct it again. You only have to deal with the aliens you aggro by shooting their nests.

The last post was only 1 year old. Also, I saw (and replied to) a bug report (Not a bug) about this which linked here.
