So, I've been thinking... I've posted alot of Mod Ideas and Mod Requests, but they're so spread out by now you won't see them anymore, so I'm gonna repost some of them here, updated and rethought, as most of my ideas come out of my head at far past midnight.

1. Floors, Floors, and Floors.
a. Infestation-Proof Floors: Thick Concrete Floors with a special Plasteel-Rebar layer to prevent insects from digging up through the floor. 15 Steel, 5 Plasteel per tile.
b. Heated Floors: Heated, Decorative floors that heat the room they're in very weakly, per tile. These floors would be connected to a thermostat/controller, and be quite expensive and beautiful. 7 (stuff) and 1 Steel per tile, 3 components and 25 steel for the controller.
c. Homemade Smoothed Stone: Buried stone chunks, smoothed to look like a smoothed solid stone floor. Great for those who like having nice, clean floors, or have too many chunks than they know what to do with. 1 stone chunk per tile.
d. A Ditch: A ditch in the ground, great for slowing down raiders without giving them any cover. Costs nothing.

2. Walls, and the sorts.
a. Anti-Sapper Walls: Expensive, resilient walls, aimed to deter sappers from attacking said location. High health, with a resistance to melee attacks, and explosive damage. 50 steel, 50 plasteel, 5 uranium per wall.
b. Electric Fences: (Yes I know it's been done before, but not in a good way, I feel.) A wall that can be shot through, and if an enemy attacks said wall, it gives them burns on their body, and stuns them. 10 steel, 1 plasteel per wall.
c. Dirt Walls (With Packing): (Once again, I know it's a real thing, but it could be done much better.) A wall that costs nothing to build, and is initially very weak. After being built, the walls can be "packed" for an extra bit of health. The "packing" process can be repeated indefinitely, but requires more work every time. Dirt walls would also be extremely resilient to explosive damage, so you could pack your walls with it to make your walls take explosions like nothing.
d. Room Dividers: Thin, weak, inexpensive walls useful for sub-dividing a large open area. Made of a wood frame, and paper. Costs 2 wood per wall.

3. Defenses! Bang, Pew Pew!
a. Buried Chunks and Slag: Have a ton of steel slag hanging around your base after a drop-in raid? Bury that slag in some dirt out near your defenses, and enjoy some free, quickly made cover! Would also help in player-led attacks, as it would take nearly no time at all to construct these cover pieces, and would have cover near a sandbag's level of cover. Costs 1 chunk of some kind.
b. Faux Cover: Trick your enemies into thinking they're safe behind a chunk made of paper mache! Or sandbags full of air! Provides 1% cover. Costs 3 wood.
c. Gun Towers, etc: Not going to explain all of them here, I made a very detailed post about them here: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=49006.msg460567#msg460567

I hope someone can draw inspiration from this, and bring some, or all, of these to light.
I've been thinking... (Oh no, it thinks!)

I also thought about another mod a while back to make research less... tedious. Here's the link.
