Have fun !!

... i installed the Raven mod, which gives you a pretty nice aircraft. Now I can spend my time building airports all over the world. If there were ships you could also build industrial ports or ferry networks.

Right now, Water is just something that is in your ways, in best case it protects you from biters. But what if there were ships, so you can settle small islands or maybe even build platforms with oil pumps for off-shore industry? Additionally, it would add so much possibilities for ...

Quite interesting ideas.

... make the map look much more realistic and less static and 'generated'. Second, rivers could open up a whole new path: Transportation via cargo ships. This would only require a very small amount of new technology, research and vehicles. Cargo ships wouldn't be worth the effort in the game as ...

The main point was future uses though, cargo ships would be awesome In that case you made this suggestion in the wrong order. Suggest cargo ships first, then waterfill. 8-) :) No. ;) The truth is: In the current game this would unbalance the the ...

... said by Optera), thats why i suggested it. Woudn't it be rather easy to teach critters how to swim? The main point was future uses though, cargo ships would be awesome, and especially on maps with a lot of water, e.g. Ocean/island maps. Also it just feels like its a missing part, for example ...

Yeah, thats why i wouldn't use the mod. Its outright OP to use moats as defensive structures without said changes to critters.

To be honest, what im really interessted in is transportation via cargo ships, which would require channels. Would be so awesome!

... it reminds me of the feature in the homeworld games where you could have a smart select, that when you did a lasso, would only select millitary ships. If you unchecked smart select, you could lump non combat ships (the harvesters primarily) with them together.

... a lot of knowledge. Emithekiller: If item trading would be enabled for the market, one could have a landing pad (or many), in which special space ships land to get the resources needed, or sold, and then take off, without any other interaction (At this time i remember the game Planetbase in which ...

Another idea is the bridges are really small power poles, or the pole bridges drop a bridge an a power pole

I think either power poles are integrated into all bridges, or none - because otherwise you would end up with too many permutations on the other hand if you had two parralel railway bridges, one in each direction, you wouldn't want both to carry power poles So I'm not sure really Maybe a new kind of...

So would two different types of bridges work with one having a powerpole sticking out?

Here's what I think about having bridges: With the new landfill, it might be easier to make bridges work. They would be like buildings, but you can walk and drive vehicles over them. But you can't place other buildings on them. That way you use the bridges to travel over water, and landfill if you w...

This stuff isnt hard to code its just the graphics, will probably work on this kind of thing after my GCSEs
