New terrain features

It would be helpful if the message stating that you have discovered a Natural Wonder included the amount of :gold: you received for discovering it first.
 
It does not do most of the new terrains Barren, Dunes etc.

Correct sir, thats why i needed it, i wanted it to find out what i needed to do to add ALL the new stuff to it, or at least HOW TO do it??
 
What do you expect this to do? It is code to place some specific features and bonuses and does not do anything about terrain.

Really :hmm: I thought it did, my bad, anyways it works with a "regular" map also, not just mapscripts.

So I noticed in the "Mars Now!" mod that they have a terrain improvement called "Create Hill". However I did not see a "Make Flat" or anything so I wondered if it would be possible to add both of those to the game. In addition these would not be possible on normal Workers but to a Bulldozer and Terraformer units. Here are my ideas/requests.

Create Hill
Req Tech: Civil Engineering
- Can Be Made on Flatland Only
- Makes Flatland into a Hill of the same type of terrain
- Made by Bulldozer OR Terraformer

Create Peak
Req Tech: Megastucture Engineering
- Can Be Made on Hill Only
- Makes Hill into a Peak
- Made by Terraformer

Remove Peak
Req Tech: Megastucture Engineering
- Can Be Made on Peak Only
- Makes Peak into a Barren Hill
- Made by Terraformer

Remove Hill
Req Tech: Civil Engineering
- Can Be Made on Hill Only
- Makes Hill into Flatland of the Same Type
- Made by Bulldozer OR Terraformer

Many, MANY thanks in advance! :goodjob:

I have been thinking about them actually. Here are my ideas ...

Drain Tarpit
Req Tech: Civil Engineering
- Removes Tarpit
- Made by Bulldozer OR Terraformer

Remove Landmark
Req Tech: Civil Engineering
- Removes Landmarks
- Made by Bulldozer OR Terraformer

Remove Crater
Req Tech: Civil Engineering
- Removes Crater, Small Crater, Medium Crater or Large Crater
- Made by Bulldozer OR Terraformer

I would like to revisit this since it would be so cool to have more control over terrain editing in game.
 
Not soon, I think. The "androids" worker is supposed to use the similar graphic to the construction ship and be the ultimate worker before you have nanite cloud workers.
 
We it goes ...

Gatherer (Gathering) -> Worker (Sedentary Lifestyle) -> Dog Worker (Plough) -> Various Animal Workers (Plough) -> Industrial Era Worker (Nitroglycerin) -> Modern Era Worker (Motorized Transportation) -> Clones (Gene Enhancement) -> Android (Androids)

However the Bulldozer and Terrafromer would not be on that line. They cannot do everything a worker can. But should be able to do stuff workers can't.

As or graphics the "Androids" have a humanoid looking worker while the construction ship has a machine looking unit. Nanite Cloud Workers are not made yet, but I think that's a good idea.

Exactly right the graphic used is the same as the clone one. Zappara always intended it to look like the construction ship or a land version of it but it never did.

Gatherer (Gathering) -> Worker (Sedentary Lifestyle) -> Dog Worker (Plough) -> Various Animal Workers (Plough) -> Industrial Era Worker (Nitroglycerin) -> Modern Era Worker (Motorized Transportation) -> Clones (Gene Enhancement) -> Android (Androids)

However the Bulldozer and Terrafromer would not be on that line. They cannot do everything a worker can. But should be able to do stuff workers can't.

Bulldozer (Motorized Transportation) -> Terraformer (Wealther Control) -> Androids -> Nanite worker?

So the androids can do everything both lines can do? Or have the terraformer and androids upgrade to the Nantie worker.
 
@DH

It can't work that way. Wealther Control tech comes at Galactic Era. On a timeline it would be ...

X53 = Industrial Era
X57 = Industrial Era Worker (Nitroglycerin)
X62 = Modern Era Worker (Motorized Transportation)
X62 = Bulldozer (Motorized Transportation)
X68 = Modern Era
X83 = Trans-Human Era
X90 = Clones (Gene Enhancement)
X94 = Nanite Swarm (Nanobotics)
X96 = Android (Androids)
X101 = Galactic Era
X101 = Nanite Defuser (Smart Dust) [World Wonder]
X107 = Nanite Cloud (Weather Control)
X107 = Terraformer (Weather Control)

Where a Nanite Worker Fits in I do not know.

But I think the lines should be separate.
 
The whole point to technology is to combine stuff to make it even easier - eg smart phones
Spoiler :
(which wont phone your ex because they are smart) or smart cars that pull over whenever you try and text while driving:mischief:
