>If you are interested, I can send you my version of blocks' settings.
That would be nice! Send it to me on Discord at Ægg Prophet [DM to meet eggs]#6115

So... I played with Protoids a bit more. Then I also out of curiosity looked into mod's blocks.lua file a bit. And I think I found the cause of my previous point #2. To my opinion 4 seconds of life time for Swarmers seems too short and what I previously considered "hesitation too shoot" actually is that they start to desintegrate even before getting to targets.

In the end I tweaked some values in blocks.lua and now I'm more pleased with ship's performance and block-cost-balance. If you are interested, I can send you my version of blocks' settings.

Yeah, #3 is probably just Reassembly being haunted as usual. And as for 1 & 2, I'll see if the mod needs a rebalance when I have some spare time. Thanks for the feedback! <3

Points 1 and 2 might be due to my misunderstanding of this faction, so take them only as my personal observations.
Point 3 on the other hang left me confused. You see, only when this bugged(?) state activates, I get somewhere close to "spamming drones until your computer begs for mercy" . So I'm curious could it be that this state is indeed intended gameplay for the faction and what I see as "normal" state is actually bugged for me?

Interesting faction! And I have few remarks on it:

1) Queen cell and Defender cell looks to me overpriced and/or underperforming. Both have quite long recharge time and usually don't do much before destroyed by enemies.
2) Swarmer cells and variations are cheap and fast-growing. But to me looks like they very often fly to a target and then hesitate to shoot it. Not sure if it is mod's issue or deep in-game drone AI issue.
3) I also encountered strange bug and managed to reproduce it few times. Build a ship -> save, leave editor, and try to shoot enemies -> after some time go to the editor and close it without changing anything and saving -> suddenly drones recharge nearly twice quicker and take less energy for recharging. Also swarmers' AI seemingly improve after that and they more willingly shoot my targets. Newer encountered something similar with other factions/mods. This state remains until new changes to the ship are done, or until it destroyed.

working on it, just a bit busy with other stuff atm
