What if there was some sort of way to teleport from one part of a planet to the other. You would set up two devices on opposite different parts of the planet that, when connected, would teleport you from one device to the other.
That would sure make traveling more convenient. Using the device should be resource heavy though and has some malfunctioning chance to make it only barely worth it.
Perhaps the resource cost and malfunction rate (malfunctions could damage you, or send you to some random spot on the planet, or both) could be lowered by upgrading the tiers of your teleportation devices; as it has been stated that there will be a technology tree, this is certainly possible.
Yes, that would be cool. I just mean if you start out with instant transportation other methods of travel (vehicles/trams/etc.) become more obsolete. Though if someone spent a lot of time exploring for new modules or something for their teleporter by using other means of travel then they become more useful.
Agreed. Although, maybe we should make teleporters something late game, as with what armadon said other means of transportation would become obselete. I propose it should be a dungeon loot object, or blueprints are aquired via dungeon, then you research it to find out the materials that you need to make it, and afterwards you make it and upgrade it as you go along. Simple. But might i ask would it be possible to set up a relay system? Like 2 teleporters are on the same channel (IE 1) so you can go back adn forth, whereas 2 other teleporters are both on the channel 2, so you can go between the 2 at any time.
Earic, I think you should show them your fine drawing, relating to this (From my suggestion about this, a while back) Still got it as my wallpaper!
Well done on the drawing, my friend. (I can barely do better.) However, it does illustrate the concept quite well.
you could totally buid a base on each side od the planet with scouting vehicles and weapons ready if its a big planet
