[1.3] Remote Tech (2.4.0) - Formerly Remote Explosives

This seems absolutely perfect for 2 things.

1.Antisap. "You think you're sapping over there? HA"

2.Killboxing. Provide enemy with perfect, yet mined cover...or have roofing set to collapse with a wood wall on it's last legs holding it up. Set off the explosive and instantly kill anything under that roof.

Yep! Gives you options in the ways of defending without putting your pawns at risk.
IMO, the best mods are those that allow you to devise clever new solutions without being overtly powerful.

Can we have a Landmine?

Well, there's the vanilla IED that explodes when things pass over it. Did you have something different in mind?

Updated to 1.5.0

Hey folks, here's the update to A14. No further changes.
Please report any bugs you may find.

Is this well balanced?

UnlimitedHugs · July 25, 2016, 08:27:19 AM

Well, you could try it out and let me know what you think. I certainly did my best to not overshadow other base defense options.

Updated to 1.6.0

So after playing a round of Factorio, this idea came to me- if explosives are used in a defensive perimeter, surely, you would want to replace them after they did their job. An thus, auto-replacement was born

The blueprint will stay forbidden for the first 30 seconds to keep overzealous builders from charging into huge waves of Wargs, while strapped with explosives. So brave.

-updating mod now.

Sweet idea, nice job!

Been loving this mod so far. I use Fluffys Tab Mod as do a lot of people and I keep getting this error. I imagine this is very low priority as both mods do seem to work fine together. I don't know much about modding but I am posting this here because if a small update to this mod can make it work even better with other mods like Fluffys Tab's then that would be useful.

See attachments for details.

a suggestion- mining charges are hard to use. if using deep in a mine, you have to build a detonator or remote console near it, which means u have to get a long cable of power conduits to the remote detonator AFAIK. maybe allow a timed fuse for the explosive, that does not need research and any colonist can go and set it?

I'd love to see a remote detonator that took up a weapon/shield slot. I've found that for mining explosives I put them down, arm them, then shoot them...it works but takes time.
