World of Banished

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/2582_15_10_21_3_13_51.png)

00 Intro

I was so inspired by Abandoned and her stories, and I wanted to show my new terrain textures.
They will be used in a new mod - Out Of This World.

I post it here in Suggestions since it is a work in progress. I am open to comments but keep them
easy to make. This is not Star Wars. :)

This is just a short story used to show that an alien world can be very much like home.

The spaceships will not be in the new mod.
There is no need for them. The models are free
from OpenGameArt.org and CGTrader.com
I used them only to get some good pictures. :)

So - Welcome to Mennox.

01 - Background

We were a long distance from the mothership. The first thing that happened was a computer malfunction.
At that time we had prepared for landing on Mennox. Then all power was cut just when we could see
a clearing ahead. We landed on a strip of land, and we hoped that it would be long enough.

We survived, but the spaceship didn't.

We had traveled for generations, leaving the Earth when it was clear that the Earth had no future.
Ravaged by wars, natural disasters, and an extreme shortage of resources, every day could be the last.

We are four colonists sent out from the mothership to explore a planet with signs of life.

Well, there is life... Water, plants, and some kind of animals.
You can breathe the air. It has a metallic, primordial taste.
Our personal scanners showed all green.

The animals showed no aggression, but the survival pods were built immediately, just to be safe.

02 - Exploring

Hilber decided to walk along the river and check it out. He draws a crude map to follow.

Manuelah was reading medicine and was responsible for the medical equipment.
She could test things to see if they were okay to eat. She walks out among the trees
to gather plants.

Caden was very fond of the animals. She gave them small pieces of potato,
and they seemed to like her. These animals looked like some sort of pigs.
Caden was almost sure and she said that they oinked when they talked.
- So it is an oink, I said.
- No! It is an oinker.
- Okay. Do I write that in the logbook?
- Yes, we must know what we are talking about. They oink.

I stayed near the ship and examined what we could use from it.
Obviously the ships power system had overloaded and sent out a burst that killed
the ship's computers. I found the emergency transmitter but it wasn't activated.
The system was already cut off when we were going to land. I assume the transmitter
never saw a need to activate itself. We never crashed.

Manuelah came back with berries and roots that she said were safe to eat.
Hilber had tested to catch fish and he landed a few. Manuelah tested and
found nothing harmful with them.
Caden found a couple of mushrooms and tested to give them to the oinkers.
They ate them and looked like they were wanting more.
Caden asked me to build a place for the oinkers.

03 - Problem and solution

I must activate the emergency transmitter. It has a connector to the spaceship,
but I have not a clue how to make it work. I searched the spaceship and found a
spare power cell that was not burnt out. The transmitter didn't react to power
anywhere in the connector. I must be careful.

I took a break and pulled out a long metal box we could use as a water trough for
the oinkers. Manuelah brought some grass she said contained nutrients.

Sure enough. Four of the oinkers stayed close to the water trough. Caden would have
an easy job to watch them.

Hilber told me to drop my tries to activate the transmitter and help with collecting
firewood. Drop it? Yes! The transmitter had an impact sensor that felt any crash.

I climbed a tree with the box and dropped it to the ground. Nothing.
I tried again a bit higher up and this time... a light went on and started to blink!
It was sending a distress call. We were having dinner on fish, potatoes, and roots.

04 - Waiting

Time went by. We had a cold spell with snow! It was the first time for us.
Manuelah found herbs that would cure cold and slight sickness.

There were still clothes and tools in the spaceship, but we discussed making
some more permanent buildings. Hilber had ideas about energy-saving domes.

We would need more material. We spent time collecting resources and food.

All the time we looked at the emergency transmitter. Waiting.

05 - Found!

After the cold, things went on with our usual chores.

Hilber had mapped the area. He also learned how to take cuttings
from trees and plant them. They grew quickly.

Manuelah had lists of edible, and of dangerous plants. She also
had a good assortment of healing herbs.

Caden helped to collect food and branches. She took care of
the work with the oinkers and she washed and cooked.

I experimented with sap from the trees mixed with rock and iron.
It made good building material. Light and hard. Not flexible,
but it could be a good base for building houses.

I was inside the pod when the others shouted. No, they screamed.
I ran out and they pointed to the horizon. Two scout ships were
approaching over the trees. We were found!

06 - The end

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/2582_15_10_21_3_14_13.png)

We were going back to the mothership. The scouts dropped a message
telling us it would take a few days for a transporter to come here.

We had set out to explore possible planets for colonization.
We found one that was peaceful. It was full of resources, and it
sure looked good.

We had samples of everything we found and detailed notes of the area.

Manuelah said she would like to go here later. Maybe with Hilber.

 :) Wow, really cool  8) a need for space.  I like it.  I hope your pet project will get some comments and suggestions.  I like the story too.  :)

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D wow, wow, this is a great idea, I always secretly hoped that our Bannies would leave the earth and go out into space - great movement and a very nice surprise at the same time, I did not expect it from the esteemed master, it is a great gift - I really like this modest start - I knew Banished will always be on top of city building games. Bows and greetings

Love it, the more strange looking trees, vegie crops and animals the better.

Perhaps we should all look for what is out there in the free model world and then provide links and pictures of what we find.

You never know, the more eyes the better - something may be suitable

Do we see a mod in the making?

Yes, I have started making buildings for a mod in space.
Or, at least, in the future.

You are welcome to supply links. If nothing else - it is fun to go watching :)

This will take time. I think I will start a thread with the progress.

I may as well post it here. This thread is good enough :)

I got some houses. New design. Just a little bit odd for Banished.
Maybe they can work in space?

@kid1293  ;D curiosity I found a real "pumpkin" house and a hobit house  house, when I was looking for various architects  houses about space houses on earth or the future, maybe you will choose something for your similar --- to the  project?Regards

@kid1293  ;D Idea ? I thought of mushrooms as trees - a bit larger - we have very different shapes - instead of trees you can replace trees with mushrooms - trees?Such trees are in the game Farm Together - it looks nice - I present as a curiosity - imagination

@kid1293  ;D natural curiosities  ;)Regards

 ;D Please @taniu - stay with the space mod!
Other things should be posted in other threads.

I rather like those round white houses in the 7th picture that taniu posted, they look spacey  :)

Yes, like real champignons. :)

;D More mushroom houses.

 ;D No, mushroom houses to earthy  ;D  More of those dome houses  ;D

@kid1293 @Abandoned ;D I am glad that you like some of the things, I don't interfere with your projects, I just like to show you something too, it's not my work, "People - Earthlings " have huge fantasies - I'm it's a pity that I do not have such a talent as you modeling masters.  .Our plants are also fantastic, you can create a completely different world in space - that was my little sample /? New photos architectural  :-\ Regards

Oh, I will not be able to make those @taniu
I can have them as inspiration, though. :)

Talking about mushrooms. Here is a sample in this mod's colors.

Perhaps on the subject of mushrooms and veggies a simple re-size and colour change may do the trick.

Things grow very big in virgin soil. eg triple size purple strawberries on the new world with a minimum of two works required.

Then you could re-texture home grown, deep forest and some of fairy garden with the trader coming by a big shiney magic portal with space age looking buildings attached.

Is it possible to change the trader boat?

A clothes override wouldn't go astray.

PS - When I was in Sweden years ago I collected beautiful ceramic mushrooms that that white stems and red tops with white dots

I have it on good authority that the magic mushroom brew on the new planet is really out of this world.

Just a question.
Is this a hospital or a school?

The brownish red and grayish structure should be a hospital in my opinion.

And I really like the word oinkers! Please make it show in inventory and pasture menus instead of pigs.

Okay, @Gatherer - noted.

I am maybe out in the wrong direction...
First, @taniu then @Abandoned and now @Glenn - MUSHROOMS!

What is it with you people? ;D ;D

I made a test model and it turned out well. I worked a lot on it,
and now we have 'mushroom' houses. :) Sh-rooms.

I will work more on this type of model.

What if I change the resource mushrooms to man-sized magic mushrooms?
They will spawn only occasionally, and a find would give lots of food.
I must find a good name for them first.

I will drop the regular houses. Maybe I keep them in.

Those look cool  8)  I would call them umbrella building or houses ( sunshades from hot solar sun)  :)- stay away from mushrooms - you misunderstood.  I said no to mushroom houses. They are to earthy and water based  - this should be different things not copies, certainly not of things that are special to certain mods like Forest Deep mushrooms or Home Grown veggies.  My idea of outer space would be more metal not more plant based.  No magic

Looks good so far

@kid1293  ;Dif you think these houses fit your project that's ok - buthimself personally and @Abandoned - I was thinking about domes houses -they can be metal or colored - it is not said that other planets in space - houses are only made of metal,  -  pics? - if about trees - called the "Big Mushroom "- it would be a good idea - a lot of food - how to dry them in the sun - as fuel for heating houses? , maybe in space on a different "earth" -  there be water?  any other nutrient?Your Bannies in Space Fantastic idea -
Keep it Up . I like these unusual trees very much - fantastic color mixed with purple? - the stone substrate and the selected vegetation is also fantastic. Regards

@kid1293  ;D These are just my suggestions - don't worry - if these houses - you have any difficulties - go to your project - ask for opinions or ideas - discussion? and that's how it is now - maybe it bothers you a bit - but I see that others also want to add something from you some new idea? I was looking for a general housing estate - maybe it will help you> I like domes with round windows the most, e.g. like in the project - hobbit houses? Hospital and other buildings as if they had round roofs or interconnected dome houses - photos 9 and 10? Previous post. :-\ :-[ Regards

@taniu This space mod is Kid's project  :)  I will just throw in a few thoughts along the way, like I like the roof on that last picture you just showed - skylight.  :) thanks for showing.   I am sure Kid will consider all suggestions, he will have a lot of decisions to make.  I think it will be interesting but will take time, we have other things coming up too.

Hope others will post their thoughts and suggestions too.

@kid1293 , I really like you idea, and your story!  It will nice to have the Bannies venture to a new world.  The buildings you made are very good.  The tower buildings seem to suit a modern new planet and I imagine the roof is made of solar panels.

Those square houses that you thought were an odd design, I think are a good design for particular uses.  They are fine for the new planet, but, also, I think they would work on earth in the south west type areas.  They would also go with the buildings in your Tequila mod.  They probably would blend in with some other mods.

The square building that you wondered if it was a school or hospital, it is suited for both.

That dome building is wonderful!  It seems better suited not for a house, but some kind of special building.  It makes me think of some kind of laboratory or an observatory of the skies.

I look forward to the finished project!

 ;D ;) :D :-\ :D

Yes, Granny. I think I will replace the 'ordinary' buildings with more domes or such.
It took some time to come to that decision, but I think it will be for the best.
The square houses can be used somewhere else.

Here is my solution to the Hospital dilemma :)

I like that dome clinic building, Kid!

wow! kid ;D ;D ;D. space speed -fantastic. I know you are very busy, but can you please the same trees as you showed now, a little more approximation? I'd like to see the details - especially the curving vegetation around the tree - maybe in the future you will release a little mod about amazing trees? :-[ :P :-\ We old folks, we ask you and we will be patient. Regards

Okay, here is a picture of a school. There are some trees in the background if that is what you mean, @taniu

It is going forward :)

That school is wonderful, Kid.  Seems just right for the new planet.  :)

I am in a good mood today. Here comes a Town Center. :)

I think I have found my style in this mod...
A sort of mushroom/umbrella/canopy buildings.
I will see where it leads to.

I'm liking this style.  I imagine the planet has heavy winds at times, and winds can move better around a round structure without risk of damage, or at least not as much damage as can be with a square shape.

@kid1293 :D :D :D
fantastic houses, hospital, "Town center - is there a satellite dish on the roof?" domes are wonderful, can you add round skylights or windows in some buildings? :-[ :-\ I was able to take a closer look - is the trunk twisted and green vegetation clinging to it? looks fantastic WOW !!! - I will not disturb you - work on your project Bannies in space. Bows and greetings

@taniu - I found the trees on the internet. They looked so magical.
I had to use them for something.

Hi again. Good Morning or Good Night depending on where you are :)

A Toolmaker. A bit different. Does it fit in?

I think this one is better.

...and a tiny dome as a replacement for one of the houses.

 ;D ;D ;D OK

Yes, Kid, I agree the second toolmaker you made is the best.   That's cute small house.  :)

I think I will try to add a similar Tailor. One building in that style maybe stick out too much.
Having several and they can match each other.

I was thinking about this mod. Maybe it is more fantasy than science fiction.
All you people out there - can you come up with names for the buildings?
@Abandoned suggested Rejuvenator for the hospital. I am not sure.
Toolmaker sounds like taken from the 19th century.
I have named some houses Canopy houses because they look like some sort
of mushroom/canopy to me.

Maybe you have ideas about names.

I have practiced now :) Here comes a Tailor. The name is for now. I can change later.

Time for Coffee and Cake break.

Hmmm maybe a "Fabricator" for the toolmaker building?

The buildings all look good!

I like smith and tailor buildings, very nice  :)  Maybe Fabricator for tailor - fabric, fabricator  :-\  Smith, hmmm  Metalicator  :-\

Who says we have to make spell checker happy  :D

The tailor building is very nice, Kid.  :) Regarding the mod being more fantasy than science fiction, I prefer science fiction. Or, just the future on a new planet.  I'm fine with names of work buildings being the regular names.  Maybe the smith could be "tool manufacturer", and the tailor could be "Garment production".  I would just call the hospital something like "Medical Care", or "Health clinic".  It is easier for players to have names of buildings be easy to understand, especially those whose native languages are not English.

I agree with that, Granny, but I also want something that differs from ordinary names.
Fantasy with a space theme. :)

Maybe for the tool maker it could be "implement fabricator"  or "implement fabrication".  "Garb creator" for the tailor?  "Wholeness Center" for the hospital?

Hi Granny. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Here I come with my idea of a new material that started in the prelude story.
I decided (after long thinking and testing) to make a Wood Alloy.
;D Yes, before you say anything. I know it is impossible. But in the future ;)

So - a new material. To make it you only need logs. A lot of them.
I have a Mud Works that digs for soil minerals and fuses them into the logs.
Logs in - Wood Alloy out.
The Mud Works can be upgraded to a Mineral Plant (fancy building) :)
which is both cheaper and faster. But it costs Wood Alloy and Glass.
The Mud Works also makes Glass from the soil. :)
Logs in - Glass out.

Oh, do you like grass on the ground? I am testing now. See picture

edit - The Mud Works is almost free to build. It costs no resources, just work.

@galensgranny

Implements Fabricator are far too long to have on an icon or in the menu.
I could have Tools Fabricator in the menu and only Tools on the icon.
I like Fabricator. :)

How about 'Metal Shaper" for the tools building?

Metal Shaper sounds good, but I want that Fabricator ;D

- Fabricator reminds me of Morrowind's Fabricants. Metal monsters.

Find something for the tailor. Tailor sounds like 1800-something.
It is a long time before I have got the pieces together.

I do like that grass, Kid.  :)   Wood Alloy is good future material.  But, what does it get used for?  Is it replacing iron for tools?

Another suggestion for the tailor is the word, "clothier".  It is real word meaning one who makes or sells clothing.

Wood Alloy is (to be) a material made of Wood and Minerals.
It will be used for construction. ALL buildings will need it.
Except for the starter survival pods and the first Mud Works.
They are there so you can survive the first years. Free to build.

I found that I was already having the main material (soil) for
making glass. I added glass to all buildings and domes.

Maybe it's me but "fabricator" sounds like a good name for the Tailor, you know, FABRICator. Just me. Shaper for the tools. etc.

 ;D It is different to me.
Here in Sweden 'fabrik' means factory. (comes from the word fabricate)
I associate it with heavier production.

Kid, the term fabricator is the same in English, used regarding putting together components to make items such as in a factory. It also is commonly used for making various items out of metals. 

Mud Works -> Mineral Extractor or Mineral Extractor Station

Town Hall -> Colony Command Center or Colony Command

Hospital -> Health Rejuvenation Center or Rejuvenator Station

You and Abandoned want Rejuvenator. I can do that, but what do I write on the icon?
Rejuvenator is too long. I can maybe skip text...

Colony Command is also good. I think I buy that :)

Infirmary for the Hospital, Health Station or Clinic for the Herbalist.

I solved the problem with the icons. Rejuvenator (Hospital).
Command Center (Town Hall)
Mineral Extractor for the upgraded Mud Works.

I was thinking. Why not call the smith for only Tools and the tailor for Clothes?
Nothing complicated (and the icons are already done) ;D

Here is a Small Depot for storage. Capacity=6000. Stores almost anything except
for things that go to the Storage Yard.

And a small fisherman.

That's enough for today :)

Another day.

Here is my herbalist. Temporary name Herb Therapy ;)
Herb Clinic does not fit. It is not a building.

I agree, Kid, that since there needs to be shorter names to fit on icons, calling buildings something simple is best.  So, "Tools", and "Clothes" are good names.

I like that small herb garden for the herbalist.

I actually started to make two rows of letters on the icons.
Once you know what it is, no one cares about it anyway. :)

@Gatherer I like your names. I keep them :)

--- What about School?

 :) cute herb patch - what about Herbal Therapist - only a few more letters.  :-\ still too common and earthy though - pharmaceutical circle  ;D too long.   Needs thought  :)


what about angling floor being angling pad ? - space things are always space pads or pods

Pad is good :)

I'll think about Therapist.

oh, school could be Learning Pods maybe  :)

Command Center.
Mineral Extractor.
Rejuvenator.
Angling Pad.
Herb Therapist.
Tools Implementer.
Clothes Fabricator.
Learning Pods.

So far, so good :)

I, being Pagan, usually don't use churches, but, for those that do, don't use a cross or anything religion specific. Just a building, you can call it something like Meditation Center or Enlightenment Center, or something like that.

Oh, and don't forget a simple well, could be like a pipe in the ground.

I agree with that, Enlightenment Center or The Light or something - maybe glass roof no cross.  And I think cemetery with jars or urn or pods instead of crosses if possible. Preserver Center  ??? ;D

Cemetery could be Memorial Pods, or something.

How about some sort of a dropship or landing craft with a beacon tower to represent a nomad attractor?

 ;D @Gatherer - I can see a field of mushroom shapes on the cemetery...

 :) oh good, and I like the idea of a special nomad attractor or 2 - maybe a ship or landing pod and maybe a metal portal- metal shed with door  ;D

I vote for space ship :) :) :)

Hmmm, Flash Gordon spaceship.

 ;D Something like that, but my style. I am on it.
Maybe a picture later today. :)

Well, here it is. The Nomad Pod!  :)

It gives 15% of the population every year.
Free to build. Not ghosted.

I like that !

Here are some more. For the forest.

Forester
Gatherer
Hunter

My imagination hit a wall. I retextured one building and put some deco around.

 ;D ;D ;D I found a few names: it is difficult for me to translate into English - you are doing very well with the new names - I like it -------- my suggestions:
Handmade ,Handicraft ,Craft - from handicrafts - tailor
Sawyer  - sawmill
Relic - church
Kampus - school
Planetarium , Orrery - research center, university
Lazaret ,Spaceclinic - hospital
Shaman - herbalist
Depot - warehouse ? composition
Shed - maybe as a building where you can eat and drink
Module, sector, panels  - maybe the name of residential buildings
Orbital module -Shenzhou - lander ,Sojuz –
Apollo - capsule and tool module

Hojer - fisherman - from a fishing boat

Silikat- artificial stone - lime + sand
Metallurgical plant, steel processing site, steel plant, foundry,-ironworks
I was thinking about resource extraction : creation of new materials ?

iron-carbon alloys - steel,cast steel, cast iron, other alloys,
inmet,vironite (cobalt-chromium) 
Bronze
Brass
New silver (alpaca, argentan)
White gold, Rose gold,Black gold,Red gold,Blue gold
Platinum
Palladium

Thanks @taniu
I have named most of the buildings already.

Here is a Retreat as a church building.
All you people can help with the name, or I just keep it as a Retreat.

I'm loving your new buildings, Kid!  :) The nomad pod is perfect!  I also really like that terrain.
The church could be called Retreat Center.  Or, just Retreat as you have it.

I think Retreat Center is better.

I have reached a little stop now. No new ideas.
There are still things to do, but it is hard to invent new models.

One thing that is bothering me. The Trader!
Where does he come from? Another settlement? Is he human? ;D

Maybe Community Center for the Retreat?

This is going to be a great mod, Kid...I love these buildings!

(Maybe the trader comes from the Central or Prime settlement, and these bannies are starting a new one?)

Community Center sounds like the town hall.

I think I go with Retreat Center.

What about Respite Doom or Respite Pod ? - Retreat sound too religious.  Retreats here usually refers to a place you go to stay for a weekend or several days to pray and restore the spirit. 


edit - riverboat - what about a ghosted Mother Ship to place up river -Mother Ship sends out supply boats. :)

Stillness Center?

Inner Contemplation ?? Probably too long but.....

Inner Space Center   ;D

 ;D

I still like Retreat Center for the church.  There are many kinds of "Retreats" in the US and elsewhere.  An acquaintance of mine goes on writer's retreats, where there is nothing religious about it- just a get away for people to focus on writing and renewing their inspiration.  Not far from where I live, there is a place called a retreat center, and they host weddings, conferences, and other special occasions in a more rural setting.  The word retreat just means getting away from things.

Meditation Hall?

Well, there is a tree in there. Maybe a Garden of some kind?

Peaceful Garden.
Gracious Garden.

Maybe just something to reflect their new place.

Habitat Center.

Well, while you are thinking - Here is a larger depot. 13000 storage.

I am running out of ideas...

 :) Large storage is always good to have  :)

I have another name for non-church, retreat is just too earthy and common.  How about Vegetator  ;D ;D ;D  Meditate among the vegetation  :)  Way-out  8)  ;D

 ;D ;D ;D Sounds risky.
Welcome in - never leave!

At least it is suitable this time of year :)

A bit too far out even for me ;D Let's see where it leads.

 ;D ;D ;D

How about some tubular houses that connect two other structures. There could be variations to include storage and manufacture modules. Or some greenhouses.

https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/colony-mars-3d-1207834 (https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/colony-mars-3d-1207834)

Question regarding the trader. Since his appearance can not be changed can it be made invisible? That way a landing dock could be created along the river with a dummy trade landing ship on it permanently.

I can only change the texture of the trader.
I tried to make him invisible, but I got a shadow of the boat remaining.
It looked weird. I have no access to the model files...

Tube houses look good, but it is different from what I have started with.
Maybe on the next planet ;D

How about some sort of converter...
Put this or that in and out comes something else.
Major crafting center in one large dome, or connected domes.
It could be a major addition to a city center area.
Up to five items for various items.
Combinations could be fun.

Yes, I think of something like a converter. Like magic  ;)

The problem is to come up with models. Not too far from what I already have.
I think I can make more but I need a little time. I will take it slow this weekend.

One thing could be to disable the trader...

Can we talk about firewood? How about a factory to produce batteries for heating the houses?


Starting woodcutters could give little so colonists would be forced to switch to batteries instead. Perhaps the converter idea could come handy here. Mineral extractor could produce more than one item and one of them would be used in making the batteries.


Just a thought. :)

Well now. I like the idea, but I am not sure I want to add batteries as fuel.
It could be worth a try to reduce deforestation.
If this works out, we get building materials and fuel from the soil.
Endless production.  It is tempting.

More voices?

I also want input on the building requirements. Now I have wood, wood alloy, and glass
in most buildings. Maybe I should skip wood, and only use wood with the Extractor?

Say thanks to @Abandoned for solving the trader problem.  :) :)
I was against it at first, but I saw no other possibility.

Here you have the Mothership. Either landed or crashed, as ghosted deco.
It is big enough to cover part of the river entrance. The trader looks like
he is coming from the Mothership.

Planetbase game uses bioplastic as one of building materials. It is produced from starch.

Other materials could be: titanium/titanium alloy, graphene, silicon


You could also retexture the round greenhouse from the Fairy Tale mod. I think it would fit perfectly in a space colony setting.

Never mind the Planetbase game, but starch... It makes me think.
I could use grass fibers as an alternative to wood.
Input grass and some soil - output Wood Alloy?
I could have both as an input to be safe.

I am thinking about greenhouses. Actually one of my first thoughts.
I have an idea, but the greenhouses will be huge.

I have made so much. I will be short of space (sorry for the joke) :)
There is a limit to how large mods I can upload.
I have already divided the mod in two. Start and Houses.
The Start will have start conditions, trees, terrain, and clothes.
Maybe I will add a climate like NoSnow.

If things will be too much, I make a separate deco. Could save a few MB.

This is big. Basically, everything has to be built new.

More coffee ;D

 :) Mother Ship or supply ship looks good, I like it.  A second one could be placed at the other end of the river for the return trip.

What about iron processed into steel for building material - I always think metal when I think space.

Another thought, maybe consider a space ship that is a boarding house (free-to-build) and a flag that is the nomad attractor.  It will take awhile to process materials and build housing.

When I think space, I think two climates - far out in space too cold or too hot closer to the sun.  All snow, no snow

I can add those climates.

The trader is fabulous!  Great idea!
Regarding building materials, I didn't notice stone on your lists, Kid.  There would be rocks around.

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Mother ship - super, I send  messages if something matches your project - I will be happy, but if not -then nothing will happen too Ok - I wrote a little ;D :-[
I was thinking a bit about greenhouses, I found various information about the establishment of a greenhouse in space or on the Moon, Mars. - I am sending various photos - maybe you can match something ????
greenhouse name - bio-sphere, bio-farm, hydro-farm, orbital greenhouse, greenhouse facilities, agricultural caps, etc.? other names?
greenhouse - 1.lighting - sun rays? solar panels? artificial light - LED illuminators?
2.Hydroponics - no soil, replacing bark, cotton wool, burnt clay - conditioner, - nutritional microelements, minerals, etc.
biofilters, - by means of which it is possible to process biodegradable waste into ready-to-use fertilizer for plant cultivation
curiosity
3. MOSS - AS A NATURAL SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY
Swiss designer Fabienne Felder has worked with Paolo Bombelli and Ross Dennis of the University of Cambridge to develop a way to use plants as "biological solar panels".

Connection method - 2 things:
Aquaponics
Aquaponics refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (rearing aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish and shrimps in tanks) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. Regards

Thanks @taniu
I decided to take a break now. I have been at this around the clock.

One thing I see clearly in your pictures - Many buildings are made from
the same material. I have chosen to have some variations and colors.

It will maybe not be a real space mod. Banished has too many limitations.
But at least it is a fantasy mod with a space theme.

Hi again!

A good coffee break and I have thought about what
@Abandoned @Gatherer and @taniu said...

Here is the result. It is major work on this!
Absolutely a spacier feeling :)

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/2582_03_11_21_8_47_23.png)

I will see if I can get other buildings to connect. They are not built with that in mind.
Many buildings work best separately.

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Wow !!! Cool - You're great - If these are greenhouses - they came out fantastic, can you add to these greenhouses - a water greenhouse with fish or - with seafood ???? I know Banished is limited - but it's still a great game, and you are its wizard.  I been considering a body of water - water extraction or some other form of water recovery by filtering? Name - STALINA.? :-[ ;) Regards

Love the way it looks! Definitely correct aproach imo.

 :) Fish Farm Dome needed  :)

 :) :) :) Well, since I love fish...

I will keep as much as I can of the other buildings, BUT if I am getting out of space (there I was again)
I have to delete some of them.

fish pond pod. :)

Perhaps, a re-texture of some of your other greenhouses would go nicely

I will do as much as I can to make the buildings unique.
Maybe I can borrow small things from other mods...

Here is food for the day :)

A Fish Pod

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D
Wow!!!. Great - question - will there be any farm animals under the dome? Regards

Hi @taniu
Let's see what other people think about having livestock under the dome.

I also want to ask if I am doing the right thing - making most buildings connectable?
I know that @Gatherer and @Abandoned have said that it is the way to go.

Here is a new Command Center. Connectable, if you want.

Are the tunnels connected to the buildings or are they separate pieces?  If separate then there is option to have connected or not, would have more replayability.

All tunnels are separate and free.
The buildings are made to work separately too.

I wish I knew about the tunnels from the beginning.
I am about to redo most of the buildings to be able
to connect them. One thing leads to another.
:) I got a good laugh when I was modelling new houses.
You will see them later this weekend.

Separate tunnels and buildings  :)  Good to know  :)

are the roads tunnels also ,so the bannies move thru the tunnels?

Oh yes, they run like mice in the tunnels :)

Most houses will have several doors. The bannies will take the shortest way.
Unexpected guests  ;D

Here are two sets of new houses.

Now that I gotta see... Great work !

Oh wow, I love the new things you have created, Kid!  Those tunnels are wonderful!
I think livestock under a dome would be good.  Maybe a ghosted cover so one can have the animals enclosed or not.

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Wow !!! Fantastic job. I like everything, including the tunnels. If I can tell you something - I think farm animals - they chickens, rabbits, or goats? I was thinking of a dome - a chicken coop = a dome = rabbit cages? I don't know what would you come up with, for example, for goats  , cows or pigs ???? I rather think about breeding small animals - because you already made water pools and there are fish, maybe you can add frogs,crabs  , lobsters e.t.c ???. Cultivation of seaweed, lettuce, tomatoes, carrots - you can cultivate using the hydrophonic method, rice, oats ??? it would be an agricultural dome complex - I just don't know what its name would be ???? without fields .... I think something that we have, for example .... just change to domes ??? :-[ Regards

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;DI wrote about this method - but this is your project;
In hydroponic cultivation, the water solution (nutrient medium) is delivered directly to the root environment, so no permanent medium is needed. Virtually all types of plants can be grown in hydroponics because it provides everything they need to live.  :-\Greeting

Great idea @taniu

I have changed Greenhouse to Hydropond and added a green 'soup' where the plants grow.

But I am against having animals in domes. Where do they come from?
Traveling through space for generations? No, they have to eat vegetables. And Oinkers :)

Fantastic buildings!

Reading "green soup" reminded me of "soylent green" ^^*

I have come a long way, but I am not at the end yet.

Here are the new Learning Pods.
Yes, connectable. :)

Oh, I renamed Hydropond to Hydro Pod

Rename the mod to Banished from Soylent Green?  ;)

Soylent Green  :o   ;D

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D I'm sorry  :-[- I thought I was in space too long - I like the topic - for forgetting that the Bannies crashed on the Mennox? the new name of Soylent Green? Until now, no one has really figured out how to keep farm animals in space and transport them safely to another planet, maybe they would also apply hypernation? - Breasts did it - it's Bannies --- right? ;) :-\ They had chickens and rabbits from the spaceship - MOTHER, -I imagine ... :P How to be careful, if there is grass that does not harm the animals - can  be pasture? There are animals on this planet - the oinker. I really like this design - it's great and I think others are delighted with your idea too - fantastic topic. Regards

Who knows? Maybe the planet is the remains of Earth in the future.
I see it as a fantasy. What will be is up to the player.

Another step forward. :)

The Tools Implementer and the Clothes Fabricator are now possible to connect.
New models. Doors on all sides.

Here they are.

I have been testing it on the weekend.
It seems okay. There is a lot of not-used Stone and Iron on the map.
I have focused on trees. Better build a forester quick...

The bannies use their tunnels and seem happy :)

 Looking good  ;D

There is a lot of not-used Stone and Iron on the map.

Perhaps some could be changed to another material?

The unused stone and rock could be carried to a universal convert and converted to say... composite building materials

I, kind of, do a conversion with wood and soil on the Mineral Extractor.
There will be a lot of processing if I make a converter too.
Maybe I can add stone or iron to the extractor. Just a thought.

I leave it for now. Like a good stew, it has to simmer for a while :)

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Wow !!! Great set, kid you have a great imagination and fantasies that everything fits together, I like the windows and skylights in the dome - a fantastic idea. I have a question :-[ :P :-\ - what building material did you use to build tunnels and greenhouses because they are transparent? Will we be making, for example, tempered glass? is it enough to have -Mineral Extractor? Will you add some amazing plants ??? :-[ to the surroundings or as decorations --- the trees came out great, maybe the shrubs just a little different color, maybe pink with a texture like trees? Thank you very much ,very much in advance for this mod   - I have to leave for a few days. I think you will do whatever it takes to be happy with your fantastic design because as a gamer I am delighted with this mod and all the mods you have released. In any case, all the mods released are great - thanks to Luke and moderators with big hearts and minds and hard work on releasing many mods - Banished - is like a big shiny diamond - among other games of its type. Bows and greetings

About the tunnels or the connections. They are free to build.
I do not like problems with a misplaced piece, and all becomes a mess.

The greenhouse uses glass. Made in the MIneral Extractor. Makes sense.

More plants? ;D Maybe later. I have grass, and it fills out pretty well.
Maybe a bush or two.

Maybe they could wear Star Trek outfits  :)

hahaha nice
;D

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Ok - thanks - Star Trek clothes - cool. ;) Regards

Hi @taniu

A new berry bush :)

@kid1293  ;D ;D ;D Fantastic - Great - Applause. Can you make these trees and new bushes or new flowers as deco ???  :-[ :-[- I like them very much and would like to have them as a decoration in a fairy-tale land. (eg with big mushrooms + different mod.) ;) Greetings

Maybe one day @taniu :)

Now, I have a break from it. I enjoy myself with coffee and cake :)

@kid1293  :D ;D ;)OK, have a nice rest, I am going away for a few days - I will miss the exchange of opinions with you, I do not have a laptop. Regards

Still on a break :)

A small update. Bridges :)

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/2582_24_12_21_6_42_29.png)

Great bridge

@kid1293

You are modeling master for sure and clearly a code genius also.   We all need to join together on a group petition to get Luke to release his full game code to you.   I would love to see what you can do with the full game available as your playground.

Hi.
I do not want the code. It would be of no use to me.
The one thing I want (animations) I can not do.
I am on my way to retirement, maybe...

Out of This World Start and Out of This World Houses have been released.  See:

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=4070.0

http://worldofbanished.com/index.php?topic=4071.0

They are out of this world  ;D

I have finally done a small test of Out of This World (see pic) and have a few thoughts and suggestions for a future update.  I am wondering if anyone else would agree or have any other thoughts.

My first thought was not enough starting people.  Mother Ship is very big, I think it could hold more than 4 couples, maybe 6 or 8 would be better.

Second thought was why do they arrive with potatoes and can plant earth foods in the greenhouse?  ???  Maybe those should be all called edibles.

I am thinking OOTW is more of a stand-alone mod so there are 2 things missing.  One is a woodcutter for the firewood. 

The other is a trading post - called Transfer Station or Supply Dock since Mother Ship is made so it appears that the riverboat is coming from it with supplies.  It needs a matching place to dock.  I rather like Transfer Station name better. 

I think some interesting space colonies could be created with this mod and start.  I hope we will see some pictures.  Here is mine.  I will do a story later this year.

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/6047_09_01_22_7_10_04.jpeg)

Woodcutter and Transfer Station. More people. Another start option? Or just add a few more?

It will take a while for me to refurbish my thoughts. (I am on a long break)

A trader like this?  ;D

(http://worldofbanished.com/gallery/2582_09_01_22_10_03_32.png)

 :) :) :) oh, he is a real cutie  ;D 

Continue long break  :)  Only giving first impression and see what others think.  I will not get to outer space for a long time.  :)

Mod looks good  :)

:) Here is a woodchopper. I will add another start condition with more people later.

haha put him green like a real martian ^^
