Can Aliens Destroy Their Own Structures?

<div class="IPBDescription">(because I did something stupid)</div> In a recent game I played as a gorge and went to build a resource tower on a nozzle. However, I accidentally built an offence chamber instead, right over the nozzle. Nothing I tried seemed to damage it, and I was naturally a little reluctant to ask the marines to come and do it for me. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

So the nozzle was out of action the whole game (we still won, however).

But if you do build a chamber in the wrong place, or build the wrong one by mistake, how can you destroy it? Even biting it as a skulk had no effect at all.

    As of this time there is no way for and alien to get rid of their own buildings. But correct me if im wrong i think they are gona have a recycle option with next release. I have heard a lot of ppl complain about this same problem so rest assured im sure it will be worked on.

    Yeah, i had this problem yesterday too...went too fast and hit the offense chamber button instead of resource...maybe for the next patch implement some gorge ability to reclaim a building and regain like 70% of the spent resources on it?

    I don't like that thought at all: lamers can easily destroy a game by recycling everything of importance.... even hives, mayhaps.... ugh.... but that's not really the game's fault... too bad..

    Sometimes you can still put a resource tower there. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Just stand back a bit and try.

    I think only the alien that builds the structure should be able to "eat" it. So that way no lamer or myg0t can screw up the game.

    That is a top idea. If you built it only you can take it down.

    In the first game I played, the very first thing I did was to evolve into a gorge and build a resource tower on top of myself. Oops! As long as only the player that makes a building can get rid of it, there shouldn't be any abuse.

    Unless you leave the game. Otherwise you will have llamas bilding structures like crazy in bad places then leaving the game and thier team with the mess.

    Llamas will find ways to bug you no matter what. But if you can unbuild your own buildings than at least it removes human error.

    The better solution would be to make nodes unbuildable regions except for RP collectors.

    Good idea, but still, it would be nice to be able to unbuild your own buildings.
