Designable facilities in SE5!

Actually... stick a cloaking storm in the same sector, and the planet is invisible. I believe the bugs associated with that were fixed as well.

I'm having trouble thinking of how this would be used... Wouldn't you need "facility components" added. Lessee... wood, nails, doorknobs...

Also, most facilities just kind of have only one ability, so what design aspects would you add or upgrade. About the only things that come to mind are increased capability, and damage resistance - both of which can already be done by creating levels for each facility and upgrading as desired.

What am I missing?

Slick.

He explicitly mentioned Proportions cities. He was not speaking of basic facilities such as Mineral Miners, Organics Farms, etc., but far more complex things. Certainly, you could make basic facilities. Or you could make more advanced ones. The choice would be yours.

Components exclusively for facilitie design. Now that is an interesting idea. I can see the learning curve for newbies becoming a lot higher.

I think that more complex isn't necessarily better. You have to keep the game accessible to new players. This would seem to be another layer of complexity.

From the way he described it this would be something introducted purely in a mod.
