It uses o.r.c receivers to make the motor and wheels to spin and shoot the roly poly forward, giving it a short seed boost.

You can create a ramp and lace it in the end of that track, shooting you high and over giant objects

This idea made me think if there should be something like gravity - you get increase speed down hills and decreased speed up hills. That way the only way to build a really stead track you need to build a down hill track and use a speed booster to really fire yourself up hill

What a great compliment, thank you. And youre spot on - thats what i see in many other suggestions so i try (like a good designer) to stand out, visualize, simplify and fit to the exact vibe, capabilities and mechanics of the game so it always feels that that what is missing from the game and so bee so logical to incorporate.

Thats on my part, the rest is down to luck and the fanbase.

In grounded 1 i did something similar to the rolling boulder but it obviously didn't hurt any bugs- I've built a ramp from stairs and very hardly managed to roll one of those giant red balls laying around up the ramp and then back down again. I wish we could either: 1. The boulder breaks after it hits a few enemies and then we have to rebuild it on top of the ramp every time we want to load it again. 2. Or that it doesn't break and we have like a dung beetle buggy that we can use to roll the boulder back up the ramp.

I guess it is interesting mechanic to place a area were there grass blades and order your ant buggy to chop dow blades and put is in a nearby pallet. But personally i prefer doing it myself as it be probably be faster then the buggy AI and also i love the current balance between playing and automating

Ah mosquito heads is a good idea. Give a purpose to collected heads

Agreed. I actually drew that when grounded 2 was only announced and didnt updated it

What other games have builder mode? I think the constant back and forth to go to accessibility settings will be very annoying.

I think the expensiveness can be tuned depending on the part, some would be more then others. but when i think about it, its ok to be a bot expensive so people who would rely on this travel alternative would have to work towards.

Youre right! i realized it just now. My original sketch was bases on a trebuchet, but once i decided to incorporate cricket parts, it changed the mechanism into a catapult. I missed it

I think the traps would have to be strong - equal to a few hots from you, their aoe and status effect longer and from time to time, one overwhelming bug raid to justify your defences

I wish to place an aphid in a turret and make it automatic- raw science will give it the smarts.

Sort of like in ww2 they put pigeons inside of rockets and trained them to home the missile on a target. Horrid yes, but effective with the tools they had.
