Version 9.0

I'd like to see a non-advanced Lumber Mill that continued to mill lumber.

I guess that could be a Sawmill to differentiate.
 
1 plot in the making. Basic type, no frills.

Any Suggestions?

Mine is an odd suggestion,:pardon just a simple small external martial plot that can be used anywhere even internally. The plot could be really generic "no personality" not a tower or a bunch of extras. The format could be either the small external or internal.

An external martial plot "that can be used just like an internal" :yes3

Said differently, "an internal martial plot that can be pointed and used with other building assets" maybe users own guard tower or in a vault near a spawn point and in areas with low ceilings?

Often, a 2 x 2 is just too much.:umnik2 The internal themes seem administrative and the small externals tend to be just that "their own external structure".

hahaha, I keep hoping :search @ruinedworld will take some of his handmade turrets and do something like what SirLach's did with Intimate Spaces.:yess Just a small external martial plot that folks could place in difficult spaces even internally. :acute

Most of the internal don't act like a firing position.

The small external that are firing positions are hard to put into confined spaces. Hahaha they have poles.

hahaha, I think I did this right? I ended up using wooded spacers on the 3 & 5 then everything seemed to slip into place #1 was easy, 3 & 5 go fast if you use a floor and wall to set the internal plots.

I use realistic build times so I'll know once this fills in.

I'll do better screenshots and toss them on the Nexus once I know it is right :crazy
 
Strange you had to use spacers. Did you put 1,3 & 5 in first? That allows 4 and 6 to snap to them!

Oh, I only had problems with 3 & 5 and getting them to snap without spacers. Without snapping I kept getting the floors at the wrong height and just a little off square. It isn’t a big deal and likely just me. 1 was easy, and like you say once 3 & 5 are in 4 and 6 snap right in.

For me using spacers with internal plots is kind of normal. I can get them square faster and see the depth of the floor even if I have turned surface snapping off.
 
Never done a martial plot. Have an idea regarding your suggestion, but will need time to try it all out.

LOL. Just fixed an issue with the bakery windmill / grindstone that's been wrong for ages. Only noticed it coz I went to improve it.
 
On it. But as per me, it wont be simple.

RobotsSmell, when I made my suggestion I was very tired. Don’t take it to seriously. My hang-up is really that the small exterior martial plots have the “exterior poles” This just might be the motivation I need to see if I can remove them myself. If that happened then many of those plots would fit the bill nicely as interior/exterior plots. Which is something that likely other players aren’t interested in. :crazy
 
Looks too complicated for me. Have no idea how to branch stuff etc. Didn't Mytigo do it? Or something with it, after he asked if he could steal it?
Although a canning factory might be a thing for me to add my twist to.
 
Mytigio wanted to do it, but never did. I assumed he doesn't have time/motivation after all...

Edit: what about other adv. industrials turned non-advanced? With the "change foundation" feature of plots it got less relevant, but a plot which just keeps creating foundation materials might still be useful. I kept several excavation pits at lvl1 for quite a while before.

Maybe combine it with a non-advanced mine. At 1, it keeps producing gravel and such, then at 2 it also gains ores, and at 3 crystal.


Or, lol. A graveyard/crematorium or something like that. It processes corpses, pre-war skeletons and such. Produces bone and fertilizer.
