Keep in mind that this is just a basic outline of planned features, and will be constantly changing!

Won't Add

(These are not planned in the near future at all, and have been suggested before many times.)

• Texture packs
• Online player profiles
• Player mech on Android
• Modding support
• Game speed increase (fast forward)
• Liquid teleporter
• More teleporter colors/any system that gives it more frequencies (numbers)
• More ore generation (if you're playing on maze, play any different map, maze has the least resources, and for good reason!)
• Power wires or conduits

Already Suggested

(not necessarily planned!)

• "more blocks" "more turrets" "more content" "more X/Y/Z"

• Co-op of any sort
• Campaign, challenge mode
• Multiple cores
• Movable turrets
• Batteries or storage for anything
• Destroy map indestructible blocks
• Customizable world ore generation + seed
• Steam release
• Research system, tech tree, persistent upgrades, upgrades at all
• Missile enemies/turrets/weapons (both homing and non-homing)
• Better graphics
• Enemies dropping resources
• Final objectives/non-endless mode
• Fusion reactor
• Dams, flowing water

Balance

Major Bugs

• Black screen when tabbing out on Android
• Infinite explosions that destroy blocks

Optimization

• Look into uses for IntMap
• Spread updating over multiple frames for large groups of specific tile entities (?)

• Check for unnecessary use of Timers#get()
• Optimize generator laser distribution, especially finding targets
• Optimize UI
• Check memory usage and GC, profile
• Optimize health bars and enemies in general
• Make drawing of enemies more efficient (don't call flush()?)
• Look into NodeRecord storage for pathfinder, since it's taking 2MB+ of memory!
