New idea for name, Waterworld! (Thank you Boink).

Considering it now, maybe we should wait for A16 to come out before we get any further.

Hello. My name is Agent Spacetech, and i'm pretty new to this scene (Rimworld). I've thought of an idea for a mod, that someone told me to post on these forums (Boink, is the name of the "someone"). My general idea was what if we could, actually, survive on the oceanic biomes? We could have, like, at least a small-medium boat, as the three "crashlanded" survivors, because they were above an amphibious planet, the Rich one, would have at the least a medium boat, or a yacht, because he was yachting at the planet promptly before his ships communication broke, leaving him stranded, all alone, because thats what people on yachts do.*

Tribe scenario, would have a small wooden raft. You can expand on all of these, but you'd have to have either powered air-pumps, or like, something bouyant to support everything, like the whole roof collapse thing. The only good power source would be, i guess solar panels, and i don't really know if you could use wind turbines. Sometimes, a huge wave would hit, maybe damaging some stuff, and knock people over. You could choke to death if the water gets too high. You would find maybe, shipwrecks when the water is calm and be able to swim out with them. Later on you could get scuba gear, snorkels, bilge pumps, and maybe eventually build a submarine. Fix cracks in your little water house, or else water levels will get too high and you will start to sink.

*Not really.

Good idea, or not?


And, perhaps, with alpha 16 looking like we can now send people to travel,
You could send someone in, perhaps, a smaller raft/dinghy, that would then travel to other sea-faring colonies/tribes/warbands perhaps. To trade, or to sink for the glory of the waterworld!
