You're not the only one with such problems. The concrete modules does feel like butter, the barriers from bunker bits are like paper.

Is there a way to stop actors slowly scratch away the concrete floor, just by walking? It's...Kind of ridiculous.

it has been said many a time that the base materials need major rebalancing.
also, this thread is not for suggestions for new units or weapons. it is for quick bugfixes and content alteration suggestions.

Just open your Base.rte/Materials.ini file, find concrete (below) and up the StructuralIntegrity Value.



Compare this to the much more durable Test material:

I've done some rebalancing on the base materials. None of the vanilla weapons are very good at penetration any more. A Heavy Sniper Rifle won't make it through a Block A (even the concrete one) for instance. I did this material modification while keeping actors in mind - their materials are mostly unchanged.
I also played with the diggers a lot. The Light Digger is good for digging through softer dirt, mostly. It can put holes in concrete, but only if you keep at it for a while. Medium Diggers will eat concrete fairly easily, but won't even so much as dent the metal rebar. The only way to really get through most bunkers is with a Heavy Digger.

It better be pretty damn expensive or slow.

It's 100 gold, just like it always has been. The point of the game is that the terrain is destructible, as are bunkers.

so now AI won't be able to shoot through my walls with simple willpower?

Yes, but I'd expect it to take a little more work and strategy.

You have to dig into a part of the base that is actually vulnerable enough to get through. It's not like the heavy digger just tears through metal, it still takes time to do so. It's similar to what it used to be, except with a bit more power.

The last few posts from TLB have made me happy.
the vanilla sniper terrain rape is what concerned me most. that and the fact that the coalition heavy sniper rifle is at such a stupidly high velocity that it usually phases about 10-40 pixels into the terrain when making an exit wound in a riot shield - -;;
im assuming thats been toned down a lot though.

I'm not sure if this has been covered (if so please pm me with a link), but I'd like to see weapons with switchable abilities.
Assault rifles the can switch between automatic and semi-automatic... etc etc.

I'm well aware that my general ignorance (not checking through this thread, and being new to the game) will eventually end in my flaming, but if I don't ask 0 I'll never know.

wouldnt we all love that..

Sarcasm? or actuality?

This is not a feature-request thread, this is a thread to point out things to be fixed with the game.

also, yes we would all love it but it isnt really possible in the current engine other than specific to a single actor.
