Factorio Mod Spotlight - M.I.R.V. : Rain Down Destruction From Space

Yay I'm early!

The icing on the cake is that XTerm's launch site looks like a blue dude with a big smile on his face, in map view.
How appropriate.

Nice Mod. I like the limited ammo for it, makes it seem much more balanced then Ion cannon. And how can anyone not like that Starcraft call back with the voice warning!!!

dumb question, I'm sure:
is there really no sort of legal issue from just lifting a sound from starcraft directly?

When you tested the M.I.R.V. on the land not covered by radar, you weren't zoomed in enough for it to switch to the view that you could actually use it.

sweet i get my gardening tools back watch out xterm

nice use of SC sounds)

booooom

xterm, is this mod better than the ion-cannon mod because this mod costs a lot more resources and has no auto-targeter?

It's kinda lame that you don't even use it once before doing the 'spotlight'. They're decent videos but damn you're slack with preparation.

I grew up during the cold war, so am very aware of what a MIRV is ! (Always heard it pronounced like Merv, never spelled out).

That audio for "Nuclear Launch Detected" was likely taken from a Blizzard game, and could be a copyright issue.

I like this as an end-game weapon.

what does M.I.R.V acctually stand for?

Starcraft

This is literally 100% exactly a mod i wanted to make but was too lazy to start. Now im glad i did not start because it already exists anyway.

ehh..moods like these are cool but unless you start involve a orbital grid so counter players can set up counter messures to feed with amunitions sort of like supcom 1 nuke play i guess...its such a single player or players vs biters only mood.
looks gorgious though!..and the voice file usage suuuuuch memmories ^^ feels liek yeaster day one sniped 100 hydras with a well placed sneaky nuke :)

I love that he uses the classic Starcraft 1 voice for nuke launch.

Meh, artilllery wagons are a lot better XD

NUCLEAR LAUNCH DETECTED

Oh yeah, another superweapon

But I should stand for independent (or independently targetable), not impact.

Was that a StarCraft sound effect? lol Thought I was playing it right now.

Mod - Shit

and now NOD can shoot back

he its a star craft1 nuke launch sound

Still not enough power

That'd have to be one hell of an infestation for a megabase to have trouble with biters. Considering that megabases generally have all the tech unlocked and a ton of resources available with a perimeter defense wall, those would have to be some scary bugs.
And to the Modder, nice touch with the SC1 nuke alert.

Does it run out?

I know what the mod says, but it’s supposed to be multiple independent reentry vehicles.

This work in today's version of factorio?

It could be better if there are animations for a impacting missile from space and the vision effects of atomic bombs 😂

Cool but how I use the guide kit

Apologies for the couple mishaps / mistakes in this video guys! Normally I would have redone the video or tested it first, but I was extremely short on time when recording this and simply didn't have time to re-record it. I figured this was better than missing the spotlight altogether. :)
At least we discovered the quirks of it together.
