Hello, Three more items for your consideration. As usual all are posted in steam as well. First I will start with a build that while I found it interesting, I am finding it hard to round out the interior. Talon-Great-Temple (NPC / POI ) By Wraithworks The exterior is really the most interesting part right now. The next came out better. This was a " just because" build but I am satisfied with how it came out. Chichen-Itza ( NPC / POI ) By Wraithworks Next is a build that emerged from the first great temple design as i tried to find a good way to fill the inside. The result is as follows. Talon-Great-Temple-v3 (NPC / POI) By Wraithworks Secret passages:
I've updated my lost research facility for 4.0. I noticed that light behaves differently now so I changed some light sources. I love how the alien blocks look now. The giant, creepy alien life form looks even more creepy now. Changed some colours/textures and added a few LCD screens. Sorry Fractalite but no landing pad ha ha! I tried making one but didn't like it.
The idea behind this POI is that it was built by an unknown race to annihilate the physical form of their sick and dying and turn them into higher energy beings.
I see I am not the only one who creates sepulchers... Still, that looks like one SWEET design. I am eager to pop it into creative and take a look.
@FuzzBuzzPutty This is so cool. I love these outside floating diamond things... makes me wonder what near-magical technology was used to create them: This presents the illusion like it is floating: All the pillars are straight, nothing is out of place(although, in another design, being out of place or crooked could have its purpose.) And the reflections worked out to a singular degree. Very, very cool: I love these sphere things! The texturing lined up F*&$ing perfectly! Sneaky sneaky! You just know that S*%t did not work, and at some point in the future we are going to have to contend with crazy alien apparitions... All said, Fuzz, you nailed it. Beautifully done.
Thanks man! I had fun with this one. Just went nuts with bright colours, lights and textures. Normally I stick to black and white with my ship designs so it's something different for me.
does that include wrecks of CVs floating in space? since almost everyone is rebuilding the titan/talos/hyperion, wouldn't it be an interesting idea to find a floating wreck in an asteroid field you could restore? or just a base you could take over like the xenu trading post.
Hell yeah! I have plans for the fleet we're building.... Namely, we're going to destroy it when we're finished building! I've had plans all along to make a wreck from Abaddon
YES! YES YES YES! I would love to see the dead and dying husks of the spa.... I mean *cough* it would be a welcome addition! Heck yeah it does! You asking this question makes me think you might be interested in contributing as well...? If you do not already have one, build yourself a nice medium sized or large CV, deck it out with with all the trimmings, and then BLOW SOME GIANT HOLES IN IT! Woo! And then post it here. When you do add it, remember to attach both the blueprint file and the jpg. I do not know if they will be recoverable, at least probably not for the foreseeable future. It WILL spice up the game(or it potentially could if the devs use your stuff,) and other people using their own servers may download your designs and use it. Not that you asked this question specifically, but lingering in the curiosity is a hint of a question; with regards to the Xenu trading post - this thread is not as much for POI alien bases. I bet the dev's/Hummel start one eventually, but this is more for structures and vessels the fit the Artifacts, ruins, and wrecks motif.
Speaking of which, @Kieve when you finish your new and shiny luxary CV, knock some holes in it and post it here. It might be smaller, but it would be awesome.
with thrusters and stuff being balanced atm I don't do much CV building right now, I mainly tinker with shapes etc. and update old POIs with alpha blocks (still have to decide where to upload the finished thermica station). what gave me the idea was the V2 titan - not really a CV, but they way it was changed to look like a derelict wreck (more than the talos etc.) was kinda fun to explore and restore. I just mentioned it because it's already a public POI up for grabs for the first one to get to it, any wreck in space would work the same. but yeah, proper bases etc. should get it's own thread.
I thought i posted this already, but perhaps i am mistaken as I do not seem to be able to find it. If this is a re-post let me know and I will take it down. Thank you, As always this build appears in the steam workshop. Talon-Village-NPC/POI
The idea behind this POI is...ummm...I don't really know what this thing is I'm just building what the aliens show me in my dreams. I wonder if Fractalite can find the ultra rare loot container in this one...
This is really neat man. It also shows why we need expanded textures and color palette BADLY, imagine the weathering you could do to this beautiful model with a little more to work with?!?!
Fuzz.... your screenshots do not do this incredible design justice. This is easily the best creation on this thread. WOW. As @Frigidman pointed out, the detailing is exquisite, I love all the shapes and texture usage. The sheer size of the place is hard to grasp even once you load it and it sits booming in front of you. @Hummel-o-War you should consider this is a most worthy addition to the game. It is magnificent. Daaaaaamn! SO BIG I love the placement of all the containers... I noticed this under the structure; you should consider adding some more support for the thing - random downward struts and the like. I love all the secret crawl-ways and passages. It gives a really neat feel of wanting to poke around and discover all the nooks and crannys. Really, @FuzzBuzzPutty I am speechless my friend. This is amazing. If you ever want to, it would be an honor to collaborate on something at some point. We could even have these ruins tell the tale of two ancient warring species that annihilated each other or something - your "Lost" stuff representing on side, and my "ancient" the other. I tried to tell the story of there being some kind of map or coordinate piece in the computer that is at the end of the Ancient Labyrinth that contains information on how to reach the fabled planet of Empyrion, you could do the same with one of your creations. But those are just tangent thoughts... regardless, you kinda have me awed with this one. Nicely done.
I worked on these for 10 years! You have inspired me now, to build a full scale version - is there anyway to get the game to spawn it only in water?
I have never tried! I would bet that there is - I know that you can(or at least at one point you could) spawn the base starter in water, so you can build it for sure. As far as the POI placement coding is concerned, I do not think they currently can spawn in water, but it could be easy to tweak? I say build it and add it here anyways, I would love to see it!
