GAME OVER in a instant by a raid attack ..."in"... a big mountain....bug !?

Enemies dropping inside your base is normal. It's purpose is to catch you with your pants down, forcing you to act quick and think of a solution. Whether it be falling back while sacrificing some important rooms or shooting a rocket launcher at the bunched enemies which also destroys the room... There isn't really an easy answer.

What Tynan could do is make it easier to tell if a roof is thick or thin. There's nothing fun about slowly hovering the mouse over every single tile in your mountain base to check if there's a hole somewhere.

Wait, were these robots or giant insects?

I think there is a thing like Edge of Map (when you using Plan Tool you can saw white lines 12-15 dots from end-map-edge). When you have a room touching this line, for raiders it's like no-wall road i think. I'm not sure but remember something like that (and you cant build there too). I always left 2-3 spaces from this white line.

I'm not sure. No offense to the OP, but his English isn't good enough to convince me that he definitely means robots. What he's describing sounds exactly like a normal hive attack.

^ That was my first thought too, although "bug" in the subject is what made me think insect hive.

Either way, gg, that's life on the Rim.

Hmm.... you use bug for "software bug" in english, right ? ....

And meca, i just forget a "h" for mecha = mechanoid...

Yeah I am not from your country, sorry for my bad english.

But Try to write a good french, with no fault, then we talk if you want. ^^

Thanks for clarifying. And yes, "bug" can mean "software bug" (broken code) and "bug" can also mean "insect".

English is a horrible language, for many reasons. Sorry about that.

You can blame Grace Hopper for the other meaning for the word "bug."

Seems the lady was working with the U.S.Navy on these newfangled computer thingees and when one didn't perform as expected she was tasked with finding the problem. Back in those days code really was relocateable (in a physical sense) because programs were wired into plug-boards that could be used to make the machine do what was wanted. You guessed it! a moth had gotten into one of the plugboards and shorted something out. It really was a program bug.

Grace went on to help develop the COBOL language and eventually was made an Admiral.
