[Aliens] Sweep away flares

Post by ProxyErgo » 14 Jun 2016, 10:16

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
Default ability for all aliens to sweep away flares about 4 tiles away.
Your immersion won't suffer.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
It doesn't make sense that aliens can't get rid of flares easier way than spitting on them with acid

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):

It's pretty self-explanatory. Right click on the flare or default left for aliens and option to sweep it somewhere further away.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it):
No idea.

You can melt them so that is somewhat nay for me.

They removed aliens dragging stuff for a reason. -1 I rather have the only way to remove them is via acid.

Aliens shouldn't pay attention to flares, they don't depend on light at all. You can still melt them because "Aliens like to melt stuff". That's all.

Dragging was removed for aliens. We may look into some other ways of interaction later, but not right now.
