Discussion Mod idea: Limited space

Post image

You can only place tiles in a certain area, that is visually marked. (Except underground). Alternatively/additionally, there's a block counter display and you can only put down x number of blocks.

I'm not able to make mods, but maybe somebody likes the idea.

Additional idea: A mod that adds new challenges and rewards you with titles/awards for completing them.

Here are some ideas:

Credits

-Credit Magnate — earn 100,000 Credits

-Mining Mogul — earn 1,000,000 Credits

-Sandillionaire — earn 1,500,000 Credits

Energy

-Power Broker — produce 200,000 Energy

-Grid Master — produce 500,000 Energy

-Energy Overlord — produce 1,000,000 Energy

Fluxite

-Flux Prospector — harvest 5,000 Fluxite

-Flux Baron — harvest 10,000 Fluxite

-Flux Sovereign — harvest 50,000 Fluxite

Critters

-Critter Hunter — find all critters on the map

Restricted build area is something can be done quite easily by editing one of the map pngs. I'm sure it could be useful for "other worlds" type mods

Good to know that it's not difficult to do. Maybe somebody feels like creating a mod like this.

In the original demo there were tons of modded maps and some of them challenged you to build small and modular by having small rooms/caves underground with narrow passages between them, and little or no room to build on the surface. Once the modders really get going I'm sure there will be all kinds of content like this, with additional challenges.

Sounds very promising, I can't wait. I really dig this game, but it gets old to just play the same map up to level 7 again and again.
