The Oyster has come a long, long way from the ScrapMonster. Congratulations on your good work!

Please insert some more grammar, so I ( We ) can understand, WTF you're saying!

And my Blendtech Blender isn't strong enough to chew through all of that debris.

Welcome to Build 22 My friend.



Yeah... It's an actor. It can pick up weapons. I COULD give it one arm, I'll see about it. And sometime in the future I will be modifying the gun to make a sentry-turret deployer. Eventually.

Yay for updates!
Absolutely <3 the SCRAP!
Insta' Dl.

i dig it. You mind if i sketch up some stuff for the mod? I have an idea for look of the drop pod, and i'm sure that will lead to other, half-related doodles of varying usefulness.

YES! you released it! now i need CC and to play with these. <3

well, if any of this can be used, then here you go.


In descending order or value:

Concept A:
A lawn-dart style drop pod that sticks straight into the earth, gouging a big puncture wound into the terrain. I don't know if this would be possible, but if the craft could, when it hits the earth, have the turret on top become activated (possibly just a very specialized "thruster" with a long, long reach?) and could thereby be used as support fire before the doors open. Sort of like the vanilla drop crate, but with a thruster made to look and behave like a faster-firing gauss-rifle. It could, in theory, deploy two soldiers.

The little thrusters on the bottom were afterthoughts that could possibly accelerate or decelerate the pod as it screams toward the surface.

Concept B:
Pretty generic and dependable, hatches open along the dotted line. Meant for one soldier

Concept C:
Just a fun idea, i thought of the most low-rent drop pod imaginable (since these guys are sort of meant to be pieced together from junk): a floor-to-ceiling style gun safe tossed out of an orbiting ship. I imagine the actor inside having to shoot their way out of it from the inside, so maybe once it hit the ground it could gib into the twisted-up bent version which occludes the soldier inside, then it's just a destroyable object the payload must find their own way out of. I'm thinking it would cost 1 gold and weigh about 3 tons.

The C one looks like a fridge.
Cool.

I like B a lot.
I'm afraid A is not yet possible.

interesting spriting style..

cant download.. too lazy to test it and i have to work on the elite pack..

Thanks for all the feedback guys, I'll start thinking on my own concepts for the drop-pod, although Allen's drawings will certainly be inspiration. I'm liking B and C's shape, and C's concept.

Also, thanks to Rashaln for the gif, it's going in the OP right now. (with credit of course.)

grab some of the drop-ship gib sprites and glue them together into a drop-pod like in B, but with more jagged edges. i imagined the original scrap monster made of huge rended bits of metal, some of which look like a few of the drop ship gibs, so that could temporarily satiate me. also, when the drop-pods gib there should be mild scrappy wreckage around. i would love these guys to have bunker modules that blended with normal terrain but contained junkyards. oh wow i just had images <3
ive always loved these. DLing now, i got a new copy of CC just to test these.

Bumpdate, added the Beast Minigun, the machinegun for the oyster.

Fires sharp light bullets and the occasional TDExplosive (1 in 5) round at low velocities and at a high RoF.

Short range, does nasty things to anything you point it at with exceptions to terrain.

Don't fire it too close to yourself.

i like this mode it just like all mods needs work.i would personally recomend a MASSIVE dreadnaught with layers and layers of armor(equipped with a shotgun that shoots scrap metal)
