I have an issue in my current game (Alpha 18 unstable) where a hive spawned in my mines, and is a bit close to my base for comfort.
How am I supposed to kill these things? They run way faster than my colonists do, and are very tough to kill.
I don't want to leave them, as they'll only get to be a bigger pain and could become an actual threat, but I think I'll at least need a sacrifice (some poor soul to come along) as anyone I send out to bait them gets mauled as I simply can't outrun them. I'll probably need rockets or something, because guns do bupkis (they have a rather high sharp resistance). So I may need to wait on this, but I'm not sure whether I can or should.
I don't build into mountains, and as such haven't dealt with these stupid monstrosities in a long time. I get they're meant to make it so mountain bases are balanced, but these bugs are the most dangerous thing for me.
The only positive is that I have deep drills and veins scouted out, so I don't really need that mine anymore, but I'm a bit worried they'll eventually grow too big, or that something / someone might agro an army of super-bugs.
