New Buildings Discussion

I would love this.

If possible, I would love a new mechanic like Disease called Encyption or Firewall. Certain buidings increase the strength of it, while others Hacker buildings decrease it. The new illnesses are cyber viruses, Trojan horses, and later destructive nanobots, bloatware, malware, Cyberwarfare etc. Just a thought.

Actually, is it possible to make requirements like "Requires Power", except that in that case it would be "Requires Internet Access", without which you can't make the sites and whatnot.

Well, not excactly like how Power works, but similar: It is easy to make the Sides require a Building like Computer Network, or/and a resource like Providers. That won't be a problem.

And since Internet is a Project, it can have a "allows all players to build Computer Networks". Just like the Manhatten Project used to have in vanilla BTS.

Also, I believe there's a Hacker unit. Perhaps he can "disease" a city with a malicious virus, which at first would lower production, culture and whatnot. Later, with nanobots, he could destroy building and even kill population! Ofcourse, there should be a counter to it, which could prevent/lower the negative effect of the missions done by the Hacker.

I've also been thinking of "Government Sites" national wonder, which would be simply a modern National Post Service (or w/e it was named in AND) that would decrease anarchy, increase GG appearance, lower maintenance from distance to Palace and from cities and etc.

No they are normal buildings. Remember its in the trans-human era so their stats are much more powerful.

No, I mean... What are they? They are pseudo-buildings? What is the meaning of these buildings... Algorithm is not a building, you can create one, but when it's creates, it's for everyone, you dont have to re-create it in each city...

Each city needs the infrastructure , special hardware, industry standards, and a support system of engineers to to use them. The Building represents all of this. For gamepaly purposes the Algorithm is a building where the engineers and infrastructure are located.

Think of it like getting access to the program for that city.

Ok based on Tolni's ideas it will work like this ...

1. Someone on the Globe Completes The Internet project (already exists).

2. It enables everyone to build ISP Offices (if requirements are met).

So here are the stats for the building. I will edit the Project code so don't worry.

--Buildings--

ISP Offices
Button/Icon: Here
Req Tech: Fiber Optics
Req Buildings: Modern Offices AND Computer Networks
Req Resources: Computers
Req City Size: 13
Cost: 1750
Req Power: Yes
Upgrades To: -
Obsolete Tech: None

+3
+3
+3
+2 with Communication Networks
+2 with Digitization
+2 with Knowledge Management

---

Beyond this I will have to think of how it should influence the other buildings.

Thanks! :goodjob:

Also I was thinking that different speeds of Internet should benefit from different techs, i.e dial-up shouldn't get a bonus from a Galactic Age tech, it should get a bonus from the techs in the range from the one that unlocks dial-up, to the one that unlocks DSL connections.

And so, here the Internet "speed" upgrade line.

Dial-up Speed Architecture -> DSL Speed Architecture -> FTTX (Fiber to the x) Speed Architecture -> Wi-Fi Speed Architecture* -> Mobile Broadband -> Cybernet Speed Architecture -> NanoNet Speed Architecture -> NeuroNet Speed Architecture*

Of course, what bothers me is that some Firaxis employee when designing the tech tree, he decided that the Internet must totally be found with Fiber Optics. Which might cause problems with earlier speeds (i.e Dial-up, DSL).

Also, the Mobile Phone resource will have to be a bit more expanded.

*Wi-Fi and Mobile Broadband give more :gold:

,

and

, but are less productive and spies have a higher chance of succeeding
*For those intending to clamour over these two saying "but they're the same!", CyberNet is cyborgs, i.e implants that would use your fleshy, fleshy organism to power the Internet. Obviously, it'll be pretty fast. However, the NeuroNet would use your brains and all your neurons.

Faustmouse · Aug 27, 2013

I made all the new buildings, but there are a few things left:

1) What is the Tag for Stock Market?
2) What is the Tag for Computer Security Office?
3) Blogs. Holographic Networks is NOT a tech. I Changed the bonus to Holographics instead.
4) What is the code for the "+1 :health:

from Green Civic?
5) I made a mistake in this buildings below and can't see it.

I see what's wrong with Big Ben and Fort Knox. I will fix those.However I do not know about the others.

1)BUILDING_STOCKMARKET
2)BUILDING_CYBERSECURITY_CENTER
3) TECH_MMO and TECH_HOLOGRAPHICS , just put them there
4) The Error is in line 211, you have </TechYieldChange , it needs an >.
5.)CIVIC_FARM_GREEN

Faustmouse do you make the XML using Notepad++?

Faustmouse · Aug 27, 2013

Wow thanks Mr Azure!

But I was wondering how the complete code should look like for green. I couldn't find a tag called "CivicHealthChanges" or something like this.

No I'm using the Editor. Hydro said Notepad++ is confusing for new modders^^
But I think I will switch to it

1. Get this Dark Theme
http://www.shaunpickford.com/dark-theme-for-notepad/

1.B direct File Link: http://www.shaunpickford.com/N++DarkTheme.zip

2. Unzip it to:
C:\Program Files\Notepad++\themes

3. Go to Settings, then Style Configiulator, then under Select Theme click on Waher-style. It should restart.

4. Go to Plugins Menu on Top, then Plugins Manager, and scroll down and install XML Tools.

5.Then when you are done with your XML, just go to Plugins, then XML tools then click on "Enable Auto XML Syntax Check". You can click on "Check Syntax Now" to check the code of your XML.

If you want to use Notepad++ go ahead. I use it once and awhile, but stick with old Notepad since its so simple and minimal.
