I'm talking stronger doors, watch towers, better gear, traps, bait, etc!
Nothing says stay the hell away from my base like a bunch of snipers patrolling a walled area and sitting in watch towers that increase their range by quite a bit. Also with all due respect there should be some bunker/foxhole buildings by now to let our guys hide in because the sandbags just aren't cutting it. Idk, I just know a lot of people are getting violated by the giant gunbugs and there isn't much that can be done about it just yet and the defense ability of most bases is just a big line of gunners and a turret or two, we need more security options Ty :<
mechanoids are built for destroying bases and defenses, what you need is an outpost where you can run and gun

I like this idea!
I still agree with the OP that there needs to be some high-tech endgame content that makes dealing with them slightly easier. Would need a lot of balancing to ensure it didn't make the game too easy. Some people like to create elaborate automated defences and leave their pawns to live happy gun-free lives. BUUUUT saying that, ty already has an endgame in mind so I won't moan :p
I'd like to see more upgrades to turrets, sorta like tower defense lol. Like a rocket launcher, flamethrower, laser, and minigun.
Umm... we're getting mortars in the next update

Oh boy, one small thing... it's not enough though.

ARE we though!? The changelog only mentions raiders building the siege weapons.

Well, we're getting mortar shells that explode, same thing right? :P

Honestly though Architect it's not enough. Where are the foxholes, watchtowers, guard job, etc? I'm still baffled as to why I can't raise an alarm for my people and have them intelligently prepare for defense.
If you're unsatisfied with the pace that Tynan integrates new stuff, I recommend this thing called mods :P

You know, complex traps (or simple traps) or both would be handy, would give a nice dwarf fortress vibe as-well, and complexity would vary by player skill as-well, making it easier to balance... (I also want to create an awesome trap complex system)
