[0.12.x] PvP_Ruins

Post by Siapran »

A magnetic storm has sent your fleet crashing on an alien planet.
As you recover in the ruins of old factories, you learn from your radio signals that the other survivors have started fighting over resources to get back into space.
It is up to you to collaborate with other players, or beat the crap out of them.

Welcome to PvP_Ruins, a map designed for freeplay PvP multiplayer.
When you join in, the game asks you to join one of the four available teams: Red, Yellow, Blue and Purple.
The fours factions are hostile to each other by default, but a menu allows you to change your relationships with other teams.

A few easter eggs are spread throughout the map. Finding them usually gives you an edge on other players, or sometimes just a good laugh.

A few details to take into account:
  • Every pre-existing entity is neutral, which means biters won't attack them, and any player can pick them up.
  • Doors won't open for players of any other team (even neutral). Keep this in mind when designing train stations.
  • Wooden chests don't have locks! Any player from any faction can open wooden chests.
  • Every railway equipment apart from locomotives are always neutral (this, combined with wooden chests, allows for easier trading).
  • Changing your relationship with another faction is unidirectional, which means you need to agree with other players if you do not want them crushing your inactive turrets with a tank.
Download link

Instructions to launch your own server:
  • Download and extract archive to your factorio scenario folder (make a directory named "screnario" at the root of your factorio folder if it isn't there yet)
  • Launch factorio and start the game from Play>Custom Scenario>PvP_Ruins
  • Save your game.
  • Start your multiplayer game from the save file.
The GUI is localized for English and French.
You may change the third line of PvP_Ruins/control.lua to enable debug mode, which allows having the team_switch, diplomacy and teleport gui available simultaneously and forever.

Todo:
  • More easter eggs.
  • Contextual narration when discovering new locations.
  • Upon dying, the player is replaced with a chest holding most of their inventory.

I have to admit I have a new-found respect for the people that designed the factorio trailer.
Mapmaking is exhausting, even though I only designed, like, 12 major locations. Roads and small ruins are painfully tedious to make.
So yeah, a big hurray for those amazing people, because it's thanks to them that I got playing factorio.

Yes, research, logistic networks and gameplay modifiers are distinct for each faction.
You can check the lua documentation to learn more.

I plan on adding the following changes for the next update:
  • Add train stops to the always_neutral list
  • Prevent players from other factions from building stuff near an enemy faction's spawn (to prevent turret spawn camping)
  • Add a prep time during which players can't leave their spawn (something around 30 minutes)
feel free to share your own suggestions.

OK so apparently Diplomacy is bugged in that it keeps resetting to Hostile after reloads.
I'll try to fix that for the next release too.

Great Map, I looked at it in the editor and looks amazing!

I didn't see anyone else have this problem, but how do you get off the starting island? I tried interacting with the chests in every conceivable way, but nothing happened. I followed your instructions for creating a mp game on server, but didn't see anything happening.

Thanks for the help.

I get an error trying to run it in version '0.14.17'. Is this a version issue or do I do someting wrong? (It's my first time that I try a scenario :oops: )

Extracted the zip (Windows 10) to: 'D:\02 - Games\Factorio\data\base\scenarios\PvP_Ruins' (same folder as default scenario 'freeplay')
Following instructions of: https://wiki.factorio.com/Multiplayer#PvP
Selecting the scenario in single player mode via 'main menu\play\custom scenario\' and pressing 'create'
Scenario Selection in single player mode

Woo, I haven't update this map in a looong time.
If I recall correctly, defines.lua defined a few constant in the game.
It is highly probable that this scenario doesn't work at all in factorio 0.14.

If you want, I can take some time to update it so that it works with the new factorio version.
I'm happy to see that you were interested.

Ok from what I've seen this is going to need a lot of work from scratch (including the map design).
I'll try to find some time to do it, but I can't guarantee anything.
Should still be neat though.

Could you make few subtle signs on the map, like 4 arrows from concrete on the ground every now and then, pointing to the all starting locations?
When I first tried the map, it took me literally 3hours in god mode to find all 4 starting locations. When new player tries this map, he doesnt want to explore for 4hours, he wants pvp, so general location of his enemies should be really important.
