About Ballistic Missile

From Factorio Mod Portal

Build missile launchers, load them with conventional ballistic missiles made from explosives and rocket fuel, and strike any charted spot on the planet with a targeting remote. A big explosive blast, no radiation, no uranium.

Ballistic Missile

A conventional missile that hits anywhere your radars have seen. No uranium, no radiation.

How to use

  1. Research Ballistic missiles (after Explosive rocketry, Rocket fuel and Concrete).
  2. Craft ballistic missiles and a missile launcher, place the launcher and load it. Inserters work.
  3. Take the missile targeting remote from the shortcut bar.
  4. Click any charted spot on the planet, from the map or remote view. The closest loaded launcher on that planet fires.

Recipes

| Item | Ingredients | |---|---| | Ballistic missile | 20 explosives, 10 rocket fuel, 10 steel plate, 5 advanced circuits | | Missile launcher | 50 steel plate, 50 concrete, 10 advanced circuits, 10 engine units |

Research costs 300 × red, green, blue and military science.

Blast

| | Within 6 tiles | 6 to 16 tiles | |---|---|---| | Damage | 1000 physical + 1400 explosion | 400 explosion |

That kills biter nests, worms and most buildings in the middle, and damages walls and turrets around it. It also clears cliffs right at the impact point.

Flight time is 5 seconds plus 1 second per 100 tiles. The target is marked with an orange circle and a countdown.

Works with and without Space Age, and next to the Nuclear ICBM mod. MIT licensed.
