Fired up Empyrion for the first time in awhile yesterday. CrazyZ's Omicron Express inspired me to update the monorail train I built for Nexus Station. Spoiler The one in the background is the old car. I'm still working on the new one but the basic design is finished. I really like the rounded windows CrazyZ used so I borrowed them for mine. I'm still trying to decide what I want to do with the passenger plane I made awhile back. Contemplating changes. It's sleek like the C-17 it's based on but it's a little too plain. I really like the design aesthetic of the Cherokee and I'm wondering how to incorporate that into my design. I think I split the military version of the plane off too soon. It's going to be more work to update both. Still need to finish that freighter I made at some point too. I'm also contemplating another modular base and a major overhaul to Nexus Station.
With the introduction of the new features, I have to redesign/rebuild my BA that I've been using for a long time. I'm incorporating changes that I've been wanting to do. Still waiting on that button that, when pressed, will make it look good. But, even if it's not pretty, it's functional.
I'd really love to see this in game. You should definitely start a thread in the suggestions section to discuss this. I think it would be great to have some alternatives to choose from, especially when they are not 100% the same just in different flavour, but each one have different pros&cons. @Siege Inc. @T431 @Taniyama @Furious Hellfire @ravien_ff @Robot Shark @Sephrajin @Ann|e Noa|m @RazzleWin @Kieve Thank you so much for your input. If i haven't miscounted #5 is the most popular, followed by #2 That's a great help to me, really appreciated!
I made a thing. An unfinished escape rocket, meant to be spawned on dead worlds. I took a shuttle and rocket from the workshop, copied them to a base and built a landing platform/construction area around them and removed some of the more expensive devices. The idea is that whoever used to inhabit this planet had plans to leave it but couldn't get it finished before they were wiped out by whatever cataclysmic disaster they faced. Provides some decent salvage and is meant to be an alternative to just mining ore or capturing freighters. However, players must first reach (and find) the core, which is easier said than done when the attached shuttle is turned vertical. So I created a little bit of an "accidental" jumping challenge for players. But where there's a will there's a way. Hey, you can shoot out the grow plots to make a path you can leapfrog up! Of course I know where the core is, but other players might not. Plus, I'll maybe make a couple designs of this with the core in a different area Spoiler: More images Of course the real question is: is whatever wiped out this civilization still out there?
Today I did a very quick and plain build, I wanted to make a LVL 1 BA that you can spawn early in the game.
For now you can, I'm just sad that the beds and chairs did not work. The Talon beds/chairs fit the wooden aesthetic better than the current ones.
IF it is a real Wooden Structure nobody who starts on a Arid Planet would use it, especially not as a Starter Base
I know, sadly the ventilator is a LVL 3 item. I can make a version out of concrete, but I was hoping to make it airtight as well.
Oh please don't give them any new ideas! We might wind up with a stone crusher we connect to the fuel storage!
I found on the Workshop a Temple Complex https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=928887398 - Creator is a @Devious - which I changed a bit to go as some kind of Forum Romanum. Besides of a real nice Built the changes were in terms of "out dated" Cargo Crates and a gigantic number of 288 Growing Plots. I gave also those "Tribal"-Deco Stuff a first Try and I like to say... it suits the Temple nicely! Here a few Pics At night the Tribal Deco "shines"
