Gravity Generators

I dont think this idea has been suggested, but if it has, im sorry

Basiclly, its a block that creates a gravity field around it, which you could configure. It could go verticle, horizontal, diagonal, or it could pull everything toward it. This would be nice for making a platform that you could walk on the top, the side, or the bottom for epic pvp. Also it could be used to make an astroid field where you jump from one to the other. Also good for air ducts.

 

This thread is now stamped with my seal of approval.

let's go clubbing

 

I agree. This is a great idea. I wonder if you could perhaps attach these or somehow implement these to vehicles in order to allow them to hover.

 

i like it and if i'm not mistaken we have block displacement so make these switchable on and off and you have yourself an elevator

 

Good idea, I didnt even think of that use!

Thank you everybody for your feedback

 

If you have seen the movie Tron Legacy (the new one) I could see that epic light disc battle happening in the game where they start walking on the ceiling.

 

I agree.Good idea.

 

This reminds me of Super Mario Galaxy, With those Gravity plates that flip you upside down.
Is that along the lines of what you're thinking?

 

The amount of traps and mechanisms you could make... brilliant.

Also, what if you could use it to craft a gravity belt to wear?

 

I was wandering if someone had posted a suggestion like this. Would make great of making air platforms of even space platforms for a little outpost of small colony.

 

these would be mad useful in space

 

I havent seen tron, but it would be epic to be fighting in a broken down space-station when suddenly the gravity shifts and everyone is fighting upside-down.

Thank you for feedback everybody!

 

It should be made with platypus gravity glands.

 

What happens when you have two conflicting generators? You get stuck in the middle in infinite freefall, err free-stuck?
Gravity!

Also, what would happen if you got shot out into space with no equipment...
Like... flying through space slowly away from everything and no way to get back!

 

I think this is a great idea!

 

Two generators- if they each pull you in one direction, the struggle kills you!
Pushing you together squishes you into a ball ()
Shot into space- You lose.

 

Well, pulling you both in two directions, or pushing you together wouldn't neccesarily kill you unless the combined pressures exerted were more stress than your body could take!
Also, I don't think Starbound, being a "Casual" game, would have a "You Lose!" so I think SOMETHING would have to happen... :P

 

It's a good thing I searched "elevator" before I made a redundant (and sub-par compared to yours) suggestion ...This really needs to be in the game, especially for the sandbox part of this game. I cannot fully express how excited this idea makes me. I even forgot how to use exclamation marks; that's how insanely excited I am about it.

I voted platypus, because, you know. But I'm a total "yes" on this.

 

It's like that force fields suggestion. Go check it out.
