message to devs about current bunker bases building

id like to open this out with a statement that i do understand having too many BB spammed all over the map would suck.

the current way bunker bases is built is annoying tedious and straight up bad.

SECTION 1
unsuitable terrain and a solution to it.

bunker bases have major issues with for one unsuitable terrain in spots that make no sense and the fact you cant see its unsuitable till you start building this causes people to get heavily annoyed, demoralized and overall not want to build.

and i do recognize its put there for the purpose of preventing mass bunker base spam but the way its currently done is bad and everyone that has tried to build a bb can agree to that.

SOLUTION

make a tab on the map that allows for all unsuitable areas to be highlighted so before you start building you can see where unsuitable terrain is and plan around it.

or you can make it so when building with shovel you can see all unsuitable terrain around you.

SECTION 2
building BB and how it can be changed to be less boring

for one im not referring to how to design them im referring to the act of shoveling/hammering.

as it is currently building a BB is hours and hours of a entire team of people endlessly hammering blueprints with a autoclicker turned on, this should be changed due to it causing people to get bored and due to it not being very engaging.

SOLUTION

implement a rust like system where you have to run around and smack glowing little areas to make it faster (and faster by a good amount so its worth it).

make auto builders take diseal instead of gravel as fuel this would make it so builders need to drive to get fuel adding some scenery changes and making it faster and lets be real here getting gravel to auto builders is a bad system that takes far too long and is far too annoying while diseal is literally everywhere

CONCLUSION

the way building is done is currently bad its like i said tedious boring and annoying and it can be fixed with such a small amount of work simply by just making it more known where you can and cant build and to make the act of building more engaging/faster

also ive noticed the devs opinions on bunker bases in the dev streams and have to say bunkers even late game are good people just build shit bunkers all the time due to the game making it cryptic to how they work.
