[April Fool] Z-Levels Mod (v0.6) - Add two additional layers to Rimworld!

[SSS]

Z-Levels Mod

Description

It's here! After nearly a full month of work, Rimworld sports multiple Z-levels! It took a lot of coding and dedicated testing, and there still might be a few kinks here and there, but the mod is finally in a state that's presentable to the general forum populace. It currently adds two layers- one above ground and one below, as well as some objects to allow interaction with them.


Features

• Two additional Z-levels; one above ground and one below
• The ability to dig underground and build a second level up
• Staircases and ladders to traverse said levels
• Ground and roof door objects
• Roofs must now be constructed and are stuffified
• Rudimentary multi-level support requirements are present (higher levels require additional support)
• Seamless multi-level lighting
• Mostly bug-free pathfinding
• An interface button to force the current visible Z level to cycle
• The graphical interface automatically switches levels as selected pawns move through them
• More info in FAQ

Future Plans

• Inter-level combat (currently buggy and not included)
• Change to allow textures to become semi-transparent automatically (only vanilla objects change their texture properly for now- we want modded textures to work too)
• Underground & Roof deposits (steel, plasteel, gold, etc.)
• Additional support requirements
• Change mortars to affect more than one Z level at a time
• Lots of balancing (this is pretty broken as is)
• See FAQ for known issues

Coming soon!

Yeah, a good prank should be funny or at least leave everyone chuckling. This just left me feeling rather dissapointed. Maybe the description and notes should have been a bit more over the top. One of the key's to comedy is to take a situation and exaggerate a single part of it.
