This is my first forum post, I hope anyone can give me feedback on my fixes.
First issue:
P.)Unrealistic Transportation
A.)Pipes. Add pipes in the game. if your building something, you need to connect a pipe into it. If building gets disconnected, pipes needs to be automatically rebuilt connecting the pipe to the building. This leads to me thinking that we should merge pipes and electrical lines together as found in Trash(the game).
Second Issue:
P.)Hand of God
A.)Your the A.I. of the colony. This leads me to a suggestion below.
Third Issue:
P.)Multiple Bases
A.)Make a supercomputer that needs to be research that governs a specific part of the colony. Each Supercomputer has its own Home Zone that are labeled by something, but you(A.I) still control everything that you want to control. A supercomputer has modes that you can turn off or on. There can be tabs when you select a supercomputer. For example:
1.)Power
a)Minimal Power b)Power Saving c)Normal Power Use d)Full Power Use
2.)Defense
a)Minimal Defenses b)Defend Home Zone c)Engage on Sight
3.)People
a)Relaxed b)Fair c)Tedious
4.)Role-Multiple Choices can be selected. Those choices that are not selected will not be expanded upon unless absolutely necessary.
a)Farming b)Mining c)Trading d)Constructing
Fourth Issue:
P.)End-game/Chain Evolving Story
A.)You die if it is End-Game. Chain Evolving Story is what happens to further increase the lack of a real story in-game.
There can be an infinite amount of story and etc.
For example:
1.)Encounter with a Faction Warship
a)Join Faction b)Bribe Faction to Leave you Alone c)Fight to the Last Man
Effects on Colony
a)Becomes Part of Faction b)Nothing Happens c)Fully Armed Party invades Colony
Possible Results
A) 1)Attacked by Enemy Faction 2)Assignments/Missions 3)Faction Trading Ships are Allowed
C) 1)Another Faction will attempt to save you if you decide to join them 2)Endgame 3)Destroy Invading Party
And it goes so on and so on. The A.I. will throw everything at you to end your game and each tier has a higher danger level.
