It would add lots to the game if a raiding mod was made where you can attack other colonies, installations or go on special quests all to get wealthy, destroy dangerous enemies and get rare valuable items... and for fun. Basically you select your colonists and hit an mission launch button and they would travel to the sector you selected to them in the world map. When they arrive you're the attacker this time.

New weapons and items can be added to help you in combat like a "barriers" that erect temporary cover, "teleporters" let's you instantly teleport short distances, "smoke bombs", "flashbangs", etc. Also add hover bikes and hover trucks and garages. The hover bikes help your colonists move quicker across your sector and world map. The bikes are cheap and have limited cargo space and only 1 colonist can ride it. The trucks can carry 4 colonists and has large cargo designed to help miners, farmers, harvest resources nearby the truck to then haul the cargo back to base. The truck acts like mobile storage while offering fast travel to your colonists.

Maybe to push it even more introduce machines into combat like tanks or mechs. I want the game to remain about the colonists and not transform it into a RTS with giant robots so find a way to limit combat machines in the field so it's mostly about the colonists.

Do you want a Z-levels mod with that?

sorry, not sorry

the bikes and trucks are useful and add value to the game. combat is fun and can be more fun when you're on the offensive because you can't rely on kill boxes and actually have to fight in tactical battles. the tanks and robots might be too much I'll give you that but it's just an idea

I'm just playing on how common this Idea is, and how it is a bitch to code in.
