I´ve got a simple suggestion for the boom-bots; This will be something like "attack at collision", and this will make the boom-bots automatically explode upon hitting a structure in its way, i dont want to have 100 boom-bots, tell them to attack one powerplant/wall and have them spread out everywhere, cause that´s what they do right now. I want them to carve out a path. Once they have eliminated a target, which they do extremely quickly, they just go to random targets nearby, like other walls or factories.
What I find exceptionally frustrating is that when boom bots hit a target and blow up 5 other boom bots which don't do damage to the target.
As far as I know that was a bug where Boombots did friendly fire killing a whole bunch of other boombots when they exploded. This is suposebly fixed in the PTE.
It is. Boombots no longer damage allies. Actually, that bug has already been fixed in the stable branch too.
I wish boom bots would only target walls if you manually select them. This would make area attack with them much better.
