[MOD_FEATURE] Road building in 1 turn
« on: November 11, 2016, 09:21:54 AM »
Road building in 1 turn
How about we could build roads in one turn only, on any tile.
How to implement:
In alphax.txt, under #TERRAIN number of turns can be set to negative values, this is to circumvent additions by the game engine for various terrains. I tried for example -2, but I remember also -7 was working. There is space to experiment with this.
Pros:
- Decrease of micromanagement, less formers are needed in the game
- Faster early game, since road connections are available sooner. Colony pods can spend less time traveling to their destinations.
Cons:
- Less strategy in building roads, for example, there would be no difference between building a road on rolling or flat tile.
Code: [Select]
#TERRAIN
...
Road,             None,    Road,             Disable, -2,  Build $STR0,     R, R

There are 2 options for multiple terraform:
farm+solar+road
farm+mine+road
In the mod they seem to work strange, former builds a road first and is not able to continue further (first case)
Possibly AI just gives single orders to formers then.

I think you can separately provide in alphax.txt leveling terrain cost. It would not be influenced.

* Random quote

The fungus has been Planet's dominant lifeform since about the time of the Lower Paleozoic on Earth. But when, once every hundred million years or so, the neural net at last achieves the critical mass necessary to become sentient, the final metamorphosis kills of most of the other life on the planet. It is possible that we humans can help to break this tragic cycle.
