What about using weapons for aesthetics? My log cabin uses a minigun for ventilation. There is no bed but I often fall asleep in my computer chair. For washroom, go outside & pee in the bushes! Base blocks are so large I find it very difficult to make anything small while still looking good, so I've been using SV & HV to make structures. SV-sized base blocks would be really cool, like a 'Small Starter-Base' kit.
Some initial utility buildings for a slightly more advanced Terran establishment on Ningues... Spoiler: Images
Oh, I have many more on paper for the civic buildings of this slightly more advanced settlement on Ningues. I love what Runningwithhamseters did. That set definitely needs to be accepted. And Maloverci's moduler set is very unique and I can see a pile of those making up some sort of oriental themed suburb somewhere
I wonder if Eleon will be creating a 'terrain placeable' akin to a 'power pole'. Where you place poles within X distance of each other... and it draws a drooping power line between them. If you go from one base to the next, then you only need 1 of the bases to have the generator/fuel tank. The power lines would carry power over to the other base. For a 'mix of structures' like this challenge... this would allow them to then power all the small structures without every single building needing their own generator and fuel tanks.
Power stations & solar farms would be awesome! What would power stations use though coal to make steam ? or nuclear power stations with uranium enrichment needed to fuel them. I have a small building almost done I'm just curious as to what you can put in it. So far I have placed: 2 large generators 4 o2 tanks 4 T2 Fuel Tanks Are plant growing plots ok ? medic & clone station ? Fridge ?
Run Down Warehouse View attachment 14820 View attachment 14818 View attachment 14818 Steam Workshop BP http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=797778087 oh, and somewhere in here is a wip ship that goes with the warehouse.
2 buildings I've nearly completed interiors still need some work. 1st a apartment building with a hv garage on the lower floor and sv parking pads on the roof View attachment 14802 View attachment 14803 2nd is a idea for a science lab or research hub. Think of the portable science labs in the STLAKER games. Let me know what you think I'm trying to go for an industrial look I have more just need to build them abit more.
Why aren't we all playing on the same creative server... kinda like a city building crew. That way we can all see what each of us are doing, and the ability to see other designs will help everyone stay on theme so to speak. Not that it would last long until someone came along and ruined it though. Is that kind of thing even possible in this game? I would like to buy a business zoned plot of land for a galactic inter-web coffee brew house. I prefer a quick jetpack distance from that new apartment building that's going up.
This one is an observatory/radio beacon. There are maintenance access pathways and a control room, observation deck, and some office spaces. I don't know why my base blueprints insist on spawning blocks underneath them, but whatever.
Nice, the concrete look is neat. I could imagine a whole settlement made out of concrete on the outside, and looking very adobe/brutish on the landscape of Omicron.
That's kinda the direction I'm headed. Some advanced tech was left behind when big business depleted the planet's profitable resources and moved on. The original inhabitants... ahem, the "natives" so to speak, were left behind with no jobs, no money, no way to transport themselves to more prosperous planets.
I like the idea but someone would need to setup a server for it maybe have it as a password protected. Server password is shared through here via a pm ? Just a thought I still haven't touched any MP yet lol. I have uploaded the some of the buildings I'm playing around with on to the steam workshop as its easier to update them. Also need to take some more pics of them. links: Apartments http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798261426 View attachment 14845 View attachment 14846 View attachment 14847 Nuclear Power plant http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798261962 View attachment 14848 View attachment 14849 View attachment 14850 View attachment 14851 View attachment 14852 Sphere-Lab http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=798260879 View attachment 14853 View attachment 14854 These are mostly finished just interior deco needs some touching up in places which I don't think I'm good at I generally just choose one or two textures & colours in my other builds lol other people are far better. Let me know what you think!
