Modmods Requests Thread

[Dancing Hoskuld]

@JaeChunDaeSung I am proceeding apace with the Shinto mod you requested. I have the religion working except for a pedia problem and I have both techs Shamanism and Geomancy appearing in the tech tree but in the wrong place. I even have the Itsukushima Shrine working but not the shaman's hut. Once I get it all working it will need some balancing.

Just though I would let you know what is happening. I am new to this XML stuff

 

[Afforess]

Well this is what you suggested before ...

I love it when I answer my own questions.

So here goes:

Bureau of Farm Management (National Wonder. Requires: Weather Forecasting; Obsolete: Planetary Economics)

• +20% Food stored in City
• +1 Healthiness in all cities
• Free Warehouse in all cities

Warehouse (Only available through BoFM; Obsolete: Planetary Economics):

• +10% Food Stored in City
• +1 with Refrigeration
• +1 with Globalization
• +1 from Knowledge Management

Farm Supply (Requires: Chemistry; Obsolete: Environmental Economics)

• +1
• +1 with Refrigeration
• +1 from Long Range Forecasting
• +1 from Gene Manipulation

Fair Grounds (Requires: Tourism; Obsolete: Orbital Flight)

• +30% Maintenance
• +1 Happiness per 20% Culture Rate
• +1 Happiness

Organic Market (Requires: Modern Health Care; Obsolete: Terra Computer)

• +2
• +1
• -5%
• +5% with Environmental Economics

Florist (Requires: Railroad; Obsolete: Gene Manipulation)

• +1
• +5%
• +5%
• +5% with Tourism

Anything else? I didn't care for the idea of a shed or barn, it seems to small a scale for Civ.

@JaeChunDaeSung, I have attached a beta of the Shinto mod you requested. It needs testing to see what I have missed.

Known issues

• missing buttons for the technologies
• pedia text missing for some stuff
• pedia not right for shinto religion - buildings and units are not showing
• technologies in the wrong place
• civics not working for shaman hut
• costs are probably wrong for all bits

Included

• new religion Shinto (pinched from AAranda's religions modmod)
• two new technologies Shamanism and Geomancy
• Great Wonder - Itsukushima Shrine
• new building - Shaman's hut

It is provided as one of my modules - so goes in the Modules folder. The compressed file contains my folder and it contains the Shinto folder and required modular loading stuff.

Just remembered I may have changed the name of my folder from "Dancing Hoskuld" to "DancingHoskuld" if so you will need o change the MLF file in the modules folder to reflect that.

Looks good. Not that they look wrong but I wondered the reasoning for some of the obsolete techs like why Orbital Flight for Fair Grounds?

Other ideas are ...

- Greenhouse

- Hydroponic Farm or Hydroponics Lab (While they can do any plant it probably should boost hemp resource somehow. You know those pothead and their hydroponics)

- Arboretum or Botanical Garden (This could really be in your "Beautification Mod" if you want). Basiclly a Zoo for plants. I could see it doing the same as the Zoo or Aquarium buildings but using plant resources.

- Community Garden

- Rooftop Garden [Req Skyscraper]

- Pumpkin Patch / Christmas Tree Lot. (If you want to get all festive for Holidays. I am guessing it should probably require Christianity to be present it the city too.).

If you can get into space, I doubt you really care about a fair on the ground. But if you have a better tech in mind, I listen.

- Greenhouse

Good one.

- Hydroponic Farm or Hydroponics Lab (While they can do any plant it probably should boost hemp resource somehow. You know those pothead and their hydroponics)

I forgot about these, good catch.

- Arboretum or Botanical Garden (This could really be in your "Beautification Mod" if you want). Basiclly a Zoo for plants. I could see it doing the same as the Zoo or Aquarium buildings but using plant resources.

No, it fits better in this one. I prefer Arboretum to Botanical Garden, although, The Botanical Gardens could be a National Wonder.

- Community Garden

What, like the WWII Victory gardens, or did you have something else in mind?

- Rooftop Garden [Req Skyscraper]

Good one.

- Pumpkin Patch / Christmas Tree Lot. (If you want to get all festive for Holidays. I am guessing it should probably require Christianity to be present it the city too.).

Lol, I should make a Christmas modmod.

1. Space Colonies because of the Zero G Arena. Its only one tech later.

2. Cool! I would like to see a national wonder like that.

3. I ment more of a garden for the suburbs or city where there are no farms around locally anymore and people buy plots in a garden area. I have one in my city in fact. Here are some examples ...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_garden
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_agriculture

4. Actually I was going to suggest a "Holiday Mod" where you could make holiday related buildings and/or wonders for all religions.

 

[Afforess]

1. Space Colonies because of the Zero G Arena. Its only one tech later.

I think I've been avoid that as an obsolete tech because we've already got 4-5 buildings obsoleting on that tech. It might overflow on the tech screen.

Okay, I'll do that.

Heh, heh. You never know.

Afforess, CMKMStephens posted an idea in the 2.8 thread for a post office building. Here are his stats:

Post Office - small happiness, small culture, extra trade route or small percentage increase.

I suggest it giving 1. I have no idea which tech it should use as I do not have the tech tree in front of me.

You should, I made a tech tree.

I will make sure I add that.

 

[NBAfan]

How about Printing Press for the post office tech?

 

[Afforess]

How about Printing Press?

Sounds fine.

Hmm. Maybe there should be like a "Pony Express" wonder of some sort that could give a free "Post Office" to every city.

You should, I made a tech tree.

I will make sure I add that.

Yay! Now I don't have to boot up the game every time I need to check it.

You mean the "national Courier Service" National Wonder?

 

[Hydromancerx]

You mean the "national Courier Service" National Wonder?

Yeah but during the Industrial Revolution.

 

[Afforess]

Yeah but during the Industrial Revolution.

I see. That makes sense.

I think a plain "National Postal Service" NW that gives a free post office in all cities would work.

Also Aside from the "Farm Mod" your fleshing out what other mod should we start working out the details with?

 

[Afforess]

Consider the Children's Musuem rejected. It's too similar to the Museum, and doesn't really serve much of a purpose, it's really a sub-component. I know that sounds hypocritical, because the Castle mod was all sub-components. However, there is a fine line between adding to the game, and cluttering the game.

Otherwise, everything requested is now right here.

The Vacation modmod might be fun next. (Next after the farm one.)

1. You have made many small children sad.

2. Oh awesome I did not even know you made such a post! That is awesomeness!!!

3. Ok i will start thinking of all the stuff that could be in the "Vacation Mod" sicne I think we have a good amount o buildings for the farm mod now. Pus I ran out of ideas for it.

EDIT: Oh and on your list #22 and #26 can be combined now.

 

[Afforess]

In addition to the vacation mod, could you make a giant list of units that should require buildings. Each unit can require as many buildings as you want, I got the new BuildingClassRequired list set up, thanks to the wonderfully helpful EmperorFool.
