Title: Tasks involving multiple colonists
Post by: monkhouse on February 01, 2014, 04:43:21 PM
Haven't seen this discussed anywhere; what do people think about tasks that take multiple colonists to complete? I don't mean like harvesting or fighting, where several people can contribute independently, but complex interactions with things like deep shaft mining equipment or advanced manufacturing equipment where at least two people are required to make it work at all.

It adds a bit of complexity to the management, having to juggle schedules etc, which can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your view. It could work well with a more developed social system, where you'd see 'teams' emerge, and friendships and rivalries form between co-workers.

Honestly, it's an AI coding/debugging nightmare, so I'm going to stay away from it.

Can't say fairer than that.

Thanks for reading, loving your game.
