Since OP said he doesnt mind the convo evolving a bit I would like to piggy back on this idea.
I like the idea of an ever changing planet. Where one day you log on you could be walking into your base over an ocean and the next your base is engulfed inside of a giant mountain. For this idea to work we would need a few things to be clear/put in place.
- These ever changing planets should not affect any planets currently in the live universe. They would need to be completely new permanent planets. I know most of us enjoy the security of our builds we’ve put months into.
2)Ever changing planets would need a limited number of permanent plots and a number of temporary plots. Permanent plots would hold your valuables-coils, storage, portal, etc. Temporary plots would be where you build say a bridge to get across that ocean that just appeared beneath your base. These temporary plots are subject to be completely destroyed at any time to allow the planet to continue evolving over time.
To spice these planets up even further, a reward could be given to players with max prestige at the time of wipe (planet evolution). Prestige is only applied to temporary plots, so the leaderboard would always be evolving with each planet evolution. We would need to constantly rebuild to regain prestige, but we would always have our permanent plot to fall back on.
