This thread is for Recources Design:

1. Tibanna Gas - necessary for all ground units that use blasters and armed space craft

2. Duralloy or Durasteel - necessary for all combat space craft and some ground units (AT-ATs for example)

3. Carbonite (not sure if this was a resource) - No ideas.

4. Bacta or Kolto - improves health

5. Cortosis - could be used to build units which are strong against Force-sensitive (since Cortosis could block lightsabers)

6. Yuuzhan Vong coral - necessary for Yuuzhan Vong organic units

7. Lightsaber Crystals - needed for all Force-sensitive units(1-7 Rabbit_Alex)

8. Moons, give happiness and commerce (Woodelf)

9. Nerf's, give extra food. (Dual)

10. Dewback, Food can create mounted troopers (Rabbit_Alex)

On page 47 of the original thread I made the following suggestions:

1. Tibanna Gas - necessary for all ground units that use blasters and armed space craft

2. Duralloy or Durasteel - necessary for all combat space craft and some ground units (AT-ATs for example)

3. Carbonite (not sure if this was a resource) - No ideas.

4. Bacta or Kolto - improves health

5. Cortosis - could be used to build units which are strong against Force-sensitive (since Cortosis could block lightsabers)

6. Yuuzhan Vong coral - necessary for Yuuzhan Vong organic units

7. Lightsaber Crystals - needed for all Force-sensitive units

It might be nice to have a couple of animal resources too. Like Banthas and Nerfs.

A Star Wars Civ 4 Mod wouldn't be complete without some scruffy nerf herders. :D

Alright updated first post.

Anyway do you think we should have different moons? Or should there only be one moon recource

I think several types of moons that yield different resources when mined. We could have ice, ores, gases, ect.

Yeah good idea. Maybe there should be only one recource and many improvements, if you have a ore mine, you get ores, if you have a gas tank, you get gas.

That was my other idea. ;) I guess it depends on how we want the improvement to change the appearance of the moon.

Heh, too late, now I'm going to have to make a nerf model. :lol:

I managed to find a drawing of one online, and it looks somewhat like a small yak. I'll mess around and see if I can make a decent model of it.

Nice that'll help us, now we can have a nerf recource. What should it give, happiness? commerce? Pain to any civ that has Luke :lol:

I think it should give a health bonus, and a food bonus like the cow does in the vanilla game. According to wikipedia, the nerf is raised for it's milk and meat. So it's basically a "space cow". :lol:

Are there any pics out there for improvements you'd like to see for these resources Civmansam? I like whipping them up.

Bacta Tank, pretty easy to do

We should have banthas as another replacement for the vanilla cows/sheep/pigs. Dewbacks (big lizards stormtroopers use) could be a replacement for horses. Modelling them wouldn't be too hard to you guys.

Have a good day.

Updated 1st post with Dewback recource

Here's the Bacta tank improvement.

Woot! Nice Woodelf, thats perfect! I think you've lost your noob status by now!:p

Thanks. Anymore pics of improvements? If so, send them my way. I need a break from heads.

I have question guys. Are we just going to redefine some existing resources (gemstones being used for lightsaber crystals for example) into SW resources? I think gemstones being turned into lightsaber crystals would work great. Alot of the other resources could just be reskinned.

Yes, I think Gemstones would work for crystals, but let's see what other things we can get.

Don't forget to link any pics to resources or improvements Civmansam. My art ability is horrible unless I have a pic.

Do we have an idea of how we're utilizing the cottage progression? Do we need some graphics for that? Do you want to use the one I made for the now defunct SMAC mod?

Again, any resources or improvements that we need and have images for, let me know.

Is it just me, or when you read it it sounds funny. Do you this? Do you that?:lol:

Do you want fries with that?

nah - I'll stick with the ketchup :P

Yeah, I think Ill use the ones you used for SMAC.

How'd it become Defunct?:confused:

The head guy, Padmewan, is going through an exhausting process of job searching and it seems the rest of the guys lost interest. It'll pick up again.

Been gone for a few days guys. What's new? :p

Hey woodelf, think you can whip up a dewback?
Here's a pic:http://www.modellismo.fano.net/images/dewback.jpg

Just a resource? Unless Dual chimes in and says that he is I can try to tomorrow (after the jetpack tonight. ;))

I might start the Dewback tonight finally.

I skipped the Dewback and made a Tibanna Gas Refinery. In the screenshot it's acting like a work boat since I assume the gas will be on the coastline. 0.75 scale might be too big.

find the file here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2420) since I'm not going to bother a thread in the Graphics section and just drop it in the database.

You can go ahead and do the Dewback Woodelf. I'm going to start on the Nerf soon, and then a Star Destroyer.

Sorry I haven't been posting much, I just got a new job a couple weeks ago and I've been settling into that. I should be able to find time to start making more models now. :)

I still haven't done an organic model so if you rescue me and make one I won't complain. :p

Doesn't anyone like my Tibanna Gas Refinery? :cry:

I like the Tibanna Gas Refinery, but I just didn't comment on it.

You have to comment on it, you're the only member of the woodelf fan club!

Any idea how we can make a gas resource? Is that something someone could nifview from an existing Firaxis effect?

Yeah, I think the fallout would probably work good for that.

Heh, well I could work on a Dewback then if you don't want it. I've always kind of liked them from the movies.

And the refinery looks really cool. :goodjob:

I've got some sci-fi buildings I'd rather make so the dewback is yours unless you don't have the time. My wife is away this weekend so that would be the earliest I try an organic.

Cool ideas guys.

Ok, I'll add the Dewback to my list then. That should be a fun one to make. :)

That would be great, then we could have dewback riders as well

If we are using moons as a resource for coastal tiles can we simply use a Space Station of something similar as an improvement? Building a mine or refinery or something for the surface of a small sphere would look hokey IMO.

Yeah - good idea, actually! :p and asteroids for mining facilities :)

I'm not sure what improvement to put on an asteroid...simply something else in orbit to signify it's being worked?

I think we should go with 3 (or more) types of moons to signify ice, gas, and an ore resource. We could use the same space station improvement on each like the vanilla workboat.

yeah I like the idea. It'll probably be easy to just skin C.Roland's moon model to represend ice, gas and ore

Here's another coastal/ocean improvement mostly made with moons in mind.

The file is here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2531).

What is that? :confused:

A space station pic I found from a Space Flight Simulator sight.

Very nice Woodelf, all we need is one more

Check here (http://forums.civfanatics.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=2536). I made another version of the above, more of a standard satellite. It could be reskinned to offer a difference if needed.

Nice, I'll probably use that as a unit though.

Bump. Some scattered resource ideas:

Spices. (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Spice) A luxury resorce causing +1 :) Possibly some other benefits if a certain building is present. There are more variants, but I think 3 will do:
-Andris: common
-Ryll: somewhat rare
-Glitterstim: very rare

Military resources.
-Nergon-14: A volatile mineral used for proton torpedo warheads and demolition charges. Missile heavy units and bombers should require this.
-Baradium: Highly volatile synthetic element used in thermal detonators and other powerful explosives. Alternative for nergon-14 perhaps, but realistically it shouldn't be a resource because it's synthetic.

Ideas:

Food Resources
Nerf, Bantha, Dewback, can't think of more for some reason

Luxury Resources
Glitterstim, Ryll, Holodramas (via Holonet wonder), Corusca gems, Gallinore rainbow gems

Strategic Resources
Baradium (for nuclear weapons), Cortosis Fiber (for anti-Force units), the components for durasteel, transparisteel (can't remember what they are), laminamium (for stronger units/required for YVH), Tibanna gas

I dunno if Vong coral should be a resource, more like an improvement for the Vong. It could still be captured but they wouldn't be totally up the creek if they didn't get any.

there are lots of waterfarms on hot planets. should we make water as a recources?

Water as a resource? I guess it cold provide a fairly substantial health boost.

Yes. I'm in the process of making a Moisture Vaporator improvement right now actually. :)

very good ^.^.
i sayed somewere on this forum we could use jedi/sith artifacts as goodie huts. but instead we also could use them as a recours?

and what about this:
Permacrete, also known as duracrete, was a very strong and heat resistant ceramic material. It was used mostly in the construction of landing pads and pits for spaceports. It was usually not used in spacecraft because of its weight; when it was, it was usually hydrofoamed to reduce its density. Instead, the slightly weaker but lighter durasteel was the wiser choice. Untreated duracrete came in liquid or sludge form. A cheaper, weaker, but quicker-forming alternative to permacrete was stresscrete.
It was the food of duracrete slugs. picture here (http://nl.starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Afbeelding:Duracreteslug.jpg)

and:
Transparisteel was a hard and completely transparent metal alloy. This made it a commonly used material for starship viewports, and the windows of strongholds, and other buildings where security was a must. In starship viewports, transparisteel could be made photosensitive to become more opaque near bright explosions and such. A major component in the make-up of transparisteel was Lommite.

Transparisteel was marginally less strong than its opaque counterpart durasteel.

Transparisteel was the material the window in Palpatine's office was made of.

you can probably found some more here (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Substances)
only thing is that they arent very big articels so i dont know how much we can use

This is what Nergon-14 looked like in that Droids cartoon:
http://www.kolumbus.fi/mikko.skytta/pics/nergon-14.jpg

Anyone could probably reskin iron, uranium, or any Firaxis ore for that one.

What if we replace 'plantation' with 'colony'?

Bacta and luxury resources would be produced by a colony.

Water could be a resource but it's only really valuable on a few worlds i mean on coruscant it rains constantly.

Carbonite should be used for star ships because a lot of hyper drive designs use it in their construction. An advantage to using Tie-fighters is that they do not require carbonite to make them because they don't have hyper drive.

Dewbacks and Tauntauns could be a replacement for horses and elephants, which i am not sure.

I was wondering if we could make another class of resources, black market. Spice, ryll and slaves. Trading in them can give a serious boost to your economy but also cause certain problems.

We have a thread here http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=333318. Please put your ideas there.
