Continuing, can we have a faction, Grey Goo, which is basically liquid metal but has combat capability? (go google "Grey Goo")

A enemy unit (let's name 'Blob') has the function or ability to destruct structure (made by players) & consume the materials (from structure or from the floor)? Materials will be converted into a single resources (let's say, Goo) for the enemy to use for construction or creation of more enemies units. 'Goo' will be in the enemy' Inventory.

Resources conversion into 'Goo' rate depends on the type of resources categories.

Blob can create more units (It'self or other units), the cost will be deducted from it' inventory (the maker' inventory). The newly created Blob will have the same features.

Other units created from Blob (other than Blob) have basic function as per normal pawn has. These units are able to convert back into 'Goo' (materials) when consumed by Blob.

On Blob' death, will drop all 'Goo', these are able to be craft into resources.

It should be legal in this case because it's a widely used term by those who are in the "kill all of humanity and their pets too" division of nanotechnology. It was first coined in 1986.

I think you can do pretty much anything as long as you create the actual content (code and graphics) yourself and don't make any money on it. The developer is not responsible for modded content because they didn't create/endorse it. So I don't see a problem.

Just to note, I loved that game, played like 2000 hours of it. Too bad the playerbase kind of twindled down to the point you had to queue for half an hour for a game and they stopped patching the balance
