| Summary | 0004897: Underground Settlements (Granite/Iron/Quarts Mines, Artefacts, Fossils, Mole People) | ||||
| Description | I was thinking and I thought why not have settlements that are based underground? There are some fantasy cities that are found underground...plus it would be a nice change to have an underground settlement that has a different focus from the above ground settlements. It could be like a mining settlement and when you enter the underground the only part of that underground area accessible would be the top settlement node and if you wanted to dig deeper you need to send your npcs to dig a new cavern below the settlement. These caverns would be different from the usual already dug caverns in that there would be some new special rooms that have a chance of appearing. Such as caverns that have Granite/Iron/Quartz outcrops that give out large amounts rather than the usual 1 each. Also there would be the chance of discovering artefacts or fossils. (fossils could be an ingredient in dinosaur summoning scrolls? They could also be put on display in a museum) There could even be a chance to discover a cavern that is home to a race of mole people (or similar, they could be extra short sort of like the contrast to the tall skelebots) that can join your civilization. These mole people would have a bonus that means they could perform better in caverns (even more so with no light, so turn those emit scrolls off!) than above ground. | ||||

I've seen caverns with 2-3 quartz/granite/iron outcropping before; I would say the occurrence is uncommon rather than rare, more than three would be noteworthy though. |
|
|
I've never had an outcrop give me more than 1 before......but I'm thinking really really large amounts anyway. Sort of like hitting the quartz jackpot. |

ah, I see I misunderstood. I've never had an outcropping drop more than one item before but I was saying that I have found more than one outcropping of the same kind in the same cavern before and so in turn got one drop apiece from each of them. A sort of large outcrop that would drop more than one item when mined would be very interesting. If it drops a large amount though the large outcrop would perhaps require some sort of challenge or series of challenges akin to the rare commodity towers for balance purposes. I know x4000 has already brainstormed ideas for more things to find/do in the underground caverns so I would not be surprised if something like this was already on the blocks. |

I took a look around found x4000's comment located here [url]0015102[/url]. It would seem that finding granite/quartz/iron/copper/coral in large amounts while exploring is not something in keeping with the game's design. |
