Would you still love me if I was a turret?

It's a stationary unit that shoots projectiles. Pretty apt description

That reminds me of this post:

It is an X post that reads: Adding helicopters near the start of game dev: "A Helicopter is a Vehicle." Adding helicopters late in game dev: "When you think about it, a Helicopter is just a very advanced type of Door." ^[1]^

I've been traumatized by enough sandworms and sandworm-like creatures, I appreciate it when they are stationary.

I haven't played the DLC yet. Not because I don't want to but because I know I'll sink hundreds more hours into it.

Just space those hours out over the rest of your life and you'll be fine

Many worms.

This changes everything...

I would still love people if they were worms (as long as they are also turrets).

And each bio lab has a name.
