More world types

[ghosttr]

I would like a variety of world types, if we are crashing on an outer planet who knows what the environment may be like, I would like to see a range of environments (and available resources) to work with.

Ion Storm Planet
Difficult to communicate with trade ships.

Pirate Sector
Trading attracts pirates to your planet.

Toxic Soil
Plants have to be grown hydroponically

Hostile fauna
Has hostile critters that you need to worry about (though i hear they make excellent steaks  )

Oxygen Rich Atmosphere
Things are more likely to catch fire.

Fertile/Toxic Soils
Plants grow faster/slower.


etc, etc

Rad Dust and Rad storms on a post apoc world, mutants and mutated wild life plants. Rad suits, rad masks, gear, etc.

Be cool. Vent tech, air filters for rooms, etc.

i like this idea too. they can probably reuse old assets, since they can just change the story teller AI settings for different planet types. (ie : hostile planet can have you get attacked by wildlife on a nightly basis so you need to stay indoors, or some planets can have high solar radiation so you can't stay under the sun for too long or you'll burn, etc)

they can start with a few minor tweaks, and then the modders can probably add their own assets eventually. (i haven't checked yet, but this might already be moddable with alpha2)

I also like this.

How about a planet orbiting too close to the sun?
- Nothing can live on the surface exposed to the sunlight
- Only able to move outside at night
- More thermal vents
- Need to research thermal shielding in order to build outside
- Once you can build outside your solar panels generate a lot more power than on other worlds
- Raiders hide in caves during the day and attack at night
...

Or planets orbiting further from the sun:
- Ice landscape is easier to dig
- Solar panels generate less power
- Only able to move outside during the day when the temperature is high enough
- Nothing can grow outside, or grows slower
- Research warm clothing/insulation to cut down on power usage/heating
...

Love the idea! I always wanted to make a colony on a icy world. Or some world where there are evil alien bugs or something!. For example on icy worlds there could be blizzards so that you could not move outside! C:
