So, if i may suggest seeing as how you have some BADDASS sprites, that something like deployables would fit this mod very nicely.

First off, things like sentry/mounted guns, and Tesla towers, are pretty cool, but what about a robot, say something like an EOD bot, and it has a Tesla sheild and an HMG, BUT, the twist is you can deploy it on the feild.

If you remember the R.E.T.A.R.D.S mod, you could carry around bombs that, when thrown, would turn into a robot, and hunt stuff down.

I think something similar to that, except with tracks or something, would fit nicely.

unitech has deployable turrets like that for sure.

i'm pretty sure whoever did cortex command reloaded got the code from unitech (and gotcha got it from someone else. probs)

Some sort of bi-pedal heavy mech with your styling and some turrets would really flesh out and round out this mod and make the most out of that nice repair tool you've conveniently already got

I'll be focusing on a few new weapons for the next update. I'll start working on deployables later.


I was hoping to go for something simpler, yet still useful.


I'll look into making that. Making big sprites (look good) tends to consume a lot of time.


But realistic-looking guns look boring! Besides, there's already a few types of laser weapons, so I don't think there's any need for new models.


How, exactly?


I see what you did there.


I will! Even when I'd have more important stuff to do, apparently.


I'd love to work on something small that moves with tracks. It shouldn't be that complex, but it could do stuff like plant mines or bombs.


Now that you mention those, a hover drone would be cool. I tried to make one at one point, but it didn't turn out too well.

I'll be adding deployables and such into the tools section, when I manage to make some.


I've been thinking about something special for an actor like this. If I made actual humanoid robots for this faction, they would probably wind up similar to the Imperatus ones. I'll look into making something that fit's the theme.

How about huge, clunky, somewhat diesel punk in style with what looks like riveted/welded plate armour using a similar shading style to the armour you've got on your human actors? Big autocannon for a gun? Digitigrade legs aren't super well represented in CC and I think tend to look cooler on mechs too.

I don't know, maybe some throw-able vials of plants from his mod that have been slightly more weaponized to cause havoc to enemy troops.

Perhaps a brain unit for your faction that is actually a rare species of animal you have to protect, like an albino Trudger?

A cage you can drop from a drop ship with an angry kind of giant crab that will seek out and stomp on enemy troopers?

A Genetic analyzer tool for your faction that when used on certain kinds of wildlife will give you a gold boost, like between 200-500? ( the genetic samples are worth a good deal of money maybe ), or to make it more simple, make it so when an animal is picked up by one of your factions dropships and sent back into orbit you gain money from "rescuing the animal".


Those are just a few little ideas for you.

I kinda prefer it the way it is, with everything combat-oriented. I wouldn't like to have to worry about not using it to its full potential because there's a Striding Trudger on the battlefield somewhere.

Sure, it's very obviously Fallout-ish, but what happened in Fallout was on Earth - and I'm sure CC takes place in a far more distant future. I'd like to think that anything that is left of Earth isn't the leading factions of Mojave.

I want my mod to be seen as a faction on it's own instead of a mod based on another game, and keep the theme just as a slight major reference.


I think the faction will still remain an energy-based faction rather than something that, uh... does stuff with wild creatures.

4zK, I have a tesla tower mod with sprites made by Kettenkrad.

You can look at it and use it for some kind of reference if you want (link to the mod in my signature), I'm pretty sure Ketten would even let you use it if you wanted.

Ketten is a pretty good spriter. I'll use the sprite for now and work on the code.

EDIT: Eh, apparently I've been using a palette that's lighter than normal for over 2 years or so. The sprites seemed to work fine though, since the palette I was using was 8-bit too. The sprites just got a little darker in-game.

Ah, when i said deployable, i meant that it would be field deployable, not pre-placed.

Yeah, I know what you meant, but the telsa tower would be a bunker module rather than a deployable.

Hi! I just wanted to say I love everything you are doing with this mod. Keeping it non-fallout/totally original is good, and I approve. I also this the balance of the guns, and more importantly the feel of them, is impeccable. The only thing I am not sure about is the shotgun, but I think that has been discussed already. Maybe a combat/riot shotgun would fit? But I can also see that you might want to keep the weapons list streamline (which I am 100% in favor of). Amazing mod. I love it.

the shotgun really isn't a shotgun it's more like a mini flak gun.


i must say though it needs some tweaking because it's kinda buggy.. as in they don't detonate at the right time at all sometimes. but when a shatter shot works perfectly, shredding the foe to little bits, i can't help but admit it's kinda like a miniature version of sinking a ship in silent hunter.

You can't really call it 'non-fallout' as the references are pretty obvious.


It's just for balancing the gun to not function in the closest of combat, that's what the shotgun other mode is for.

It can also come in handy in tight corners, where you can bounce the shot off a wall.
(even though this often causes it to gib when hitting the wall, no matter how high the impulse limit is, it's because of the shot's small size)

You're right though, I'll have to add that in the in-game description.
