This is actually my first post on the forums! So here goes nothing. I have been designing some environments/planets for the past 2 weeks. The idea that I have put the most time into is a Post Apocalyptic type planet. The Glitch lore states that "Experiments took place in a vast number of regions across the Universe, despite changing a plethora of variables each civilization eventually destroyed itself when its technological progression began to overtake its social progression. All but the Glitch." This made me wonder about the destroyed civilizations. Notably, what they would look like? where they are? and how would it best be implemented? I have a growing gallery of screenshots for this idea on my DeviantArt @ http://rpmillerdesign.deviantart.com/gallery/47392447 I chose a desert planet for this, mostly for the ambient sounds and overall desolate look. But if this idea were implemented, a custom planet and background would suit it much better. I have used only the materials available in game, mostly wrecked and USCM Prison items. So there isn't alot to work with, when it comes to decor items. I plan on creating some example blocks, items, bandits, Survivors, and much more. Once the new year starts. I think that something like this would be best implemented sparsely throughout the universe, to keep it a special thing. Possibly even restrict it to sector X , So that it can be a difficult planet to explore. I would really like to hear some feedback on this idea. Thanks! -Ryan
This is a fantastic idea! A whole new kind of planet, with very specific things to go hunting for! Perhaps the planet is a little more desolate in terms of ores, but much more densely populated by armed aliens! And with the bonus of survivor quests and modern-ish goods!
These look very nice! I like post-apocalyptic things and LOOTING everything, be it Avian pirate ship's cargo hold or a ruined building. Also, where'd you get that TV?
Hi, thanks for the reply's! -A more desolate planet would be excellent, if a society had lived on the planet there would be fewer natural resources. But i was thinking it could be rich with other things like, lost technology, weapons, Codex's, and much more. -I got the TV from the apex items. At least i think it is apex, i'm not quite sure. Try and spread this thread around to people, if you want to see this happen.
Really good job! The concept is really appealing. The only thing that needs to be ensured is that no creatures spawn in these areas and plenty of bandits are about. Really good job!
Your example image very much reminds me of a destroyed version of the Apex 1985-themed housing untis. Perhaps it would be cool if there were multiple destroyed/abandoned environments based on preexisting structures. We already occasionally find abandoned environments, but this could add a level of realism and ambiance to them
