i have always wanted to explore the magma/poison oceans but i cant cuz ill die so i thought maybe add in a new vehicle tech that's like boat or mech but a submarine it would just be a sub that can protect you from lava and poison and is controlled with the normal w.a.s.d keys to move and on the front of the sub it would have a light that you can control with the mouse it would cost 50 energy and it does not need this but might be a nice feature to add is torpedos that will fire to where your mouse is pointed.
Yes. Just... yes. Imagine having a house inside a Lava ocean with a hatch to allow your sub in then drain all the lava. it would be a motion sensor door, connected to a "not" switch that activates a drain once the hatch re-closes. me --> IIII <-- everyone who doesn't have the sub and tries to enter
If you wanted a house in a lava ocean couldn't you just put a teleporter in it so that you can just enter and leave without having to go down to the planet, hop into a sub and then swim everytime you wanted to enter and leave the house?
I suppose that is the biggest problem.... but you were also suggesting to remove all the lava using an airlock system.... how would you go about doing that?
it works by a wall sensor activating when the sub arrives outside, the sensor opens the door as well as trigger a "Not" switch (basically when it receives a signal it turns off) connected to a drain. The drain deactivates as the sub and lava goes in, then the sensor is no longer active, the door closes, and the drain activates removing the lava.
Ah okay then. Well I was never actually against the idea of a sub tech, I was just trying to think of a way for you to have your lava house. I tend to find the boat tech rather useless so a sub would be nice if only for the exploration part.
This mod adds a submarine, if anyone is interested: http://community.playstarbound.com/resources/boats.1964/
The way vehicles now implemented in Glad Giraffe I think it would be pretty cool to have a submarine! We have 3 kinds of hover bikes and just one boat. Would love to see more kind of boats and vehicles
Here i thought i came up with the idea but you had it 4 months ago But i think this is a great idea because i would love to be able to explore magma and poison oceans, since theres no way to do that currently, and especially since (thanks to admin mode i found this out) the world generation at the bottom of them is interesting and does have loot.
Exploration of magma oceans is possible but is very time consuming and requires a lot of blocks. You simply build a tunnel you fill with dirt then clear out as you continue building the tunnel behind the dirt wall. The submarine idea could save so much time for the players who want to hide their base under the safety of a deadly ocean. (from other players).
