What if you were able to plant a craftable block that once planted in the ground would form evil npcs and building that were hostile to you, like you could create an enemy civilization for a challenge. Or it would corrupt and twist the land where it was planted? Different evil blocks do different things? The place where you planted the block has become a large robotic "Heart" constantly pumping out oil and has rooted itself into the ground. If you destroy it, the area with revert back.
I think this should be a toggle-able part of a larger mod. I do not want this to be in the game without choice, but I would like to be able to download a mod with biomes and planet ideas and toggle some to off and others to on.
No, Its CRAFTABLE. You could possibly select this as random generation though. Different blocks cause different things...
Well the idea is that it can be used to "Plant" Enemy bases. Or it could warp a whole planet into something horrible... Or it could convert the surface to magma/ocean... Ect ect...
Like for example, you build an Evil block out of robot parts and plant it somewhere on a planets surface... You leave the planet for two in-game days and come back. The block has converted the area around it including some creatures into robotic copies and seems to be continuously growing... The place where you planted the block has become a large robotic "Heart" constantly pumping out oil and has rooted itself into the ground. If you destroy it, the area with revert back.
Perhaps only admins/mods could plant these blocks? People could make it so that you could only do it to barren, unclaimed planets?
Even then... I mean this would be a great single player option, but I don't want it in multiplayer, besides you will be able to just travel to the planet with that biome because distance isn't a problem. The only good use would be if you could only do this to your homeworld (in multiplayer) and you could set the range of the block, for instance it would slowly convert everything in a sphere 100 blocks out in any direction. If you read all this congratulations, you survived a rant.
Hmmm... So your suggesting that a limit to growth? Interesting! Your ideas matter Perhaps suggest limits and other ideas how to make it better?
I suppose, but you would have to think of more things to regulate it or make it a hell of a lot harder to get, for instance although only the player can only put it on their homeworld in mp the admin could put one on a planet because he/she is all powerful.
Different biomes and such formed from a block, could be interesting. It could be useful for generating such places for some sort of map, so you don't have to tirelessly go planet to planet, man I wouldn't like that. I say the idea has potential.
