Spiders

They scare the hell out of me every time. Can I please get a flamethrower?

[Ozgamer]

There is an option to turn them off, instead they become cats. I hate spiders they creep me out, so I use the setting...

[phillip_lynx]

I personally find the cats a lot creepier :)

[Suzaku]

There's no flamethrower, but we do have the next best thing, explosives!

[grapplehoeker]

Let them come to you and whack them with the Xeno basher. Usually 2 hits and they're dead.
Scary or not, they're really easy to handle.

[RogueSeraph257]

Yeah, but when you stumble into a nest (I got into a nest of 6 at once, it sucked,) or that really big one, I'd love to see it running around on fire.

[RogueSeraph257]

OMG!!! the cats are worse...lol.

I think one of the worst kinds of spiders are the big ones that fart radioactive gas. They are up north, in the red forest or whatever.

Eh, you get over how they look pretty fast. The most creepy aspect of them is the noise they make when walking, I never got used to it.

+1...I'd be down with a flamethrower to say hi to my spider buddies.

Besides, first-person-flamethrowing is a sadly under-represented genre compared to first-person-shooters.

we can turn off spider or cat or not

I agree.

Oh, what a joyous moment when you kill your first beast with explosives!!

I don't think a flamethrower is the way to go. But a chemical thrower could work!

Satisfactory could get a more chemical oriented update, especially for it's higher tiers. S.A.M. ore could be processed in more laboratory style buildings that need to be pristine, and chemical treatments of the materials they are build out off could be the way to go.

Now that you have some chemicals laying around, why wouldn't you build a weapon out of that? There are plenty of fluorine and chlorine products that get used in industrial and laboratorial cleaning for the best results. So if you could introduce a Chlorine Trifluoride launcher that would be awesome.

Let's put it like this: This would be a "flamethrower" that is toxic, lethal when inhaled, acidic enough to burn through your bodyparts, flammable and explosive. Worse: After it has reacted with something the resulting chemical can also be explosive, or flammable, or acidic etc. This stuff is so nasty the very Nazi's said it was too dangerous to use. Seems like a perfect fit for some group that doesn't really care what they kill.

A toxic chemical thrower is just crazy and reckless enough to be Ficsit approved. It makes good use of toxic waste and it promotes factory growth by sterilizing the land of obstacles.

I am offended by everyone's hatred of spiders! (not really)

On a serious note, arachnophobia is a learned fear. It stems from a lack of education about arachnids. The amount of misinformation about spiders that floats around is astonishing, and ridiculous.
