After being briefly harassed by @james, I have now uploaded the mash up of how the machine parts might look together.
This is PURELY an aesthetic exploration as many of the machine parts used to make up the groups are randomly picked. The parts that will make up the ‘proper’ machine set will be specific.
Mostly, we’re just looking at how well certain shapes will work together to create something appealing and recognizable from afar.
Most I can say is that machine parts will consist of 4 unique blocks.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR FUNCTIONS, PLEASE BULLY @ben because I’m just the artist.
**EDIT: New prevs here:
Slimming down machine sets and picking good shapes
@ben Does the functionality stack? forexample a purely hypothetical example would be refining, if we say that thare is a “Refining” station which gives an item +1 in some stat, would you have to craft 10 refining sttations on a line to achieve +10 on a stat? it would be excessive i agree but still kinda cool, one thing i hope will be the case will be limitations on some sense so you might need 3 machines of the same type if you want to do something bick.
If this was possible i would say that it should have diminishing returns. So maybe adding 1 extra rifenery would make it give +1.5 and adding 2 more to that would give +2
I am really liking the way this is looking. I like the way a lot of the stuff looks like the belong together and some just look good grouped together.
I was actually thinking of posting something on Multi-block structures. Having certain machines and storage units together allowing greater interaction through UIs, expanding functionality, addition crafting options and such.
@ben would love to here some thoughts on functions.
alright im asking @ben is this all the machinges and blocks that will be added. im asking because idk what this part really means[quote=“Minyi, post:1, topic:3633”]
