[Request] More Water Stuff

[AlphaRaptor]

Hi to the Awesome Community of Factorio

I have a Request for a Mod

Its not that simple (I guess) , because of the Programming and stuff.

My Request

A Mod that adds more Stuff for Water

• Ocean's (For the Requests)
• Boats
• Water Mining Drills (Maybe its possible to add something like a Scanner , to Scan the Water if there are Resources nearby)
• Underground Oil Source
• (For the DyTech Mod) Underground Lava Source
• Tanker Boats (Ship's) for Oil
• And Normal Ship's , to bring the Resources to you base
• Enemy's Like
  • Water Biter's
  • UnderWater Biter's
  • Water Biter Spawner
• And Maybe more stuff , because the Sea is so Empty in Factorio

Thats all , Thanks if you read everything

And if not . . . why would you do that

PS: I'm kinda sleepy so , sorry for my English thou

I recommend this for you Landfill

I like your idea but it's hard, not impossible.
- The water is only blue earth, if you want make a boat only make a car with collision_mask = {"water-mask"} (whatever)
- Water mining drill and underground oil is like the boat... but a drill.
- biters have collision_mask to... like a car.

I don't know about resources, if you can use autoplace to place resources in the water is easy, i think with a "for k,v in pairs(data.raw.resource)" can add invisible resources to every resource, this invisible with auto place in water, and the scanner can be the map :p

I can program this (i have a big problem to make entities), but you have more problems, like if your boat is destroyed and you are in the sea, or how you move the items from water mining drill to the earth.
but are all items and entities, you don't need "program" (like control.lua)

ok, but the problem is autoplace.

Considering how much you guys keep asking for, I would think you'd have decided to work on something yourselves.
