wait a second the old and new in the poll should be reversed oops

Honestly I think my first IB model is a little too rough around the edges, but what do you think?


(previous model)

use artifact extractors, the green drones built from a robotics factory
they drop off to warehouses or giorgio institutes

As you may be aware of, STV was a custom MC2 news server that I set up about a year ago. Since replit stopped hosting sites for free, I began another rewrite of STV to make it more concise and lightweight so that I could host it through another service. Most all the frontend content is still the same, but I rebranded from STV to SBS since there's no actual video feed included. Now, SBS is up and running at https://sbs-5kya.onrender.com/. Please try it out and let me know what you think!

lessgo dracs are back

known issue, fixed on the beta channel

we may need better water generation, but this is not the way to do it
in fact, this is exactly what alien tech shouldn't have been, just a reskin of human tech

bruh

hell yeah

Update: Gave the SkyBus a basic interior and updated all derivative models accordingly. Let me know if you want to switch back to the blacked-out doorway version.

Yeah, in the interest of player mode I suppose you could build stations anywhere; the inter-settlement is just to emphasize that the stations should also allow your population to work/live(?) across settlements.

Do you think it'd be possible to import some of the forums content like voxel submissions into Discussions so we can still have references?

After staring at like a thousand of these, I figured I could spice them up a little. Let me know what you think could make my version better!

(note: the plants are fake so you can still build these on airless worlds)

Great to hear, now #mc2-voxeling is actually useful!

I've noticed building things in MC2 can get quite slow compared to MC1 when using decor or any sort of pattern, so I think we would all greatly benefit from being able to place entire groups of buildings in one click (as opposed to just straight lines of the same building). You would be able to manage custom groups of buildings from a separate section of the construction menu. Creating a new group would open a window with a bare plane, like the gridlines separated from the rest of the world. You'd be able to place any building and road you unlocked on a particular world/settlement anywhere on the grid, with any orientation. After creating a group, it would display the sum of its buildings' costs, employment, utility usage, etc. in the build menu. The boundaries of a group would be limited to the boundaries of its buildings rather than a giant rectangle for flexibility in building. With groups, you wouldn't have to sacrifice design in order to scale up your settlement in a reasonable amount of time.

It is estimated that eons ago, industrialized Alien worlds were enveloped by trillions of these linked tiles. Their unique surface profile makes wheeled travel alarmingly fast!


(4x4 unit for demo)

Very nice!
