Arrikoth

so lets kinda break it down?
arrikoth is a desert planet, mostly red and tan / brown ish. It has one massive ocean Vathos and three continents: Aexium, Terrios and Skhreil

the mod has three factions:-
Vagus or the scavengers
Conquisitoris or the seekers
Luxis or the following light

lore of each faction:-

vagus

Vagus were decendants of the sharded, now just a small scavenger faction. The vagus often have small outposts and strike groups and said outputs usally have components in them. (occasionally you fight them on some sectors)

conquisitoris

The Conquisitoris were decendants of the elder ones who inhabited Arrikoth or simply know as Crux, the Conquisitoris originally had a red insignia but changed to blue. (this is the enemy faction)

Luxis

The luxis aptly named after the that coral "Conchylium Luxis" they worship for giving life to arrikoth, and they believe it will bring back the elders, they were formerly Conquisitoris untill Malis had joined them forming luxis, a faction based around the purple coral they worship and the ones who fight Conquisitoris. (player faction)

the biomes:

  • crimson / mesa biomes:
    crimson regolith
    cinnabarite
    ashenite
    mesostone
  • rocky deserts:
    quartz and celestine crystals
    silica sand
    follium caeruleam plants (blue leaf)
  • shores:
    ashenite
    cheroglass
    aernaite sand
    sodiumite
  • oceans:
    slightly chalky water (calcium carbonate)
    calcium sand
    conchylium luxis coral (purple light)

If you have any suggestions lemme know
-# a thing to note is im not going blindly into this one, ive been brainstorming for this since the dawn of arctican and pls no random reactions just 👍.

This post is dedicated to old arikoth

#

Ashenite, mesostone and crimson regolith

#

-# twcash pls dont scream at me :p

#

not sure if i like the regolith kilns new decals

#

i need to make a core aswell :p

#

ima make it later

#

rn factories and stuff

karmic hare
#

I'm going to have an anuerism

#

@cursive owl If you gonna do this please stop putting mod showcase if none of us gon be able to play

#

there's legitimate mods who actually showcase actual playable content

cursive owl
#

then i will make sure this doesnt die

karmic hare
#

hype died

cursive owl
#

i cooked up the lore, the tech, the everything

#

oh :<

#

so should i kill this one? :(
and quit entirely

karmic hare
#

I can't be excited

#

quite literally youve said you wouldnt kill a mod 5 times how will I know if you won't kill this one

#

prove me wrong or smth but. How can I be excited for the 6th time

cursive owl
#

i mean its been since my first mod as cyanide :p

#

it was just mostly drawings and other crap

#

you've been typing for a while?

dusk bramble
karmic hare
#

cope

#

this isnt a showcase if theres nothing to show

cursive owl
#

there is going to be soon

dusk bramble
#

This forum is to discuss specific mods and modding topics, not merely showcase them.

#

Showcases are part of the umbrella.

dusk bramble
#

Yeah? Discussion and showcase of a potential new project. Your point?

karmic hare
#

prove me wrong or smth but. How can I be excited for the 6th time

dusk bramble
#

Then don't be. That's your personal dispute.

karmic hare
#

there's nothing to showcase

#

not even a "potential" project if theres no potential

#

I search up mod showcase expecting an actual mod

#

not a art gallery

#

I can argue as much as I want

#

so @cursive owl . Prove me wrong

#

end

dusk bramble
#

Your complaints show a personal problem with how this creator develops and displays their mods. While valid feedback upon their behavioural patterns, it does not give you the right to harrass.

karmic hare
cursive owl
karmic hare
#

I like to hear that

#

now back it up

dusk bramble
#

I wonder about the gameplay roadmap - I've seen your spriting style improve organically, but what is the plan for gameplay style?

karmic hare
#

he has a whole flowchart

dusk bramble
#

That's progression style.

karmic hare
#

usually when he designs the gameplay it follows erekir

#

vents n all

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

ah

#

so youve not made this one yet

cursive owl
#

-# i will post when i finish

dusk bramble
#

Gameplay style is the type of experience the mod provides, e.g. fast-action RTS style, or perhaps a more hybrid TD/strategy like Erekir.

karmic hare
#

anyways ima go

#

👁️

cursive owl
dusk bramble
#

Factory-centered, I assume. More or the side of a production and distribution challenge with little enemy significance.

cursive owl
#

no noo no the enemy is a huge threat

dusk bramble
#

Erekir style does hint at needing some strategy, however.

#

That's where it plays in. I see.

cursive owl
#

the gameplay loop is
industrialize and defend -> attack -> repeat

dusk bramble
#

I have seen an impressive amount of this type of hybrid vanilla. I will present my own nudge: Perhaps consider an alternative or add enough twists to make the gameplay differing?

cursive owl
#

thats where the components come in

dusk bramble
#

Component item chains will not significantly alter core gameplay.

wind wedge
#

interesting

dusk bramble
#

If you want to make a magnum opus of a mod, one you truly complete, why not make it sparkle beside the rest? As is, the majority of planet mods don't variate significantly from vanilla gameplay or artstyle.

cursive owl
#

the gameplay hmm

dusk bramble
#

It is, in the end, your decision. I simply desire more unique mods.

cursive owl
#

i mean i can make the player use the crucible system and the components

#

the components are limited items that are used to research certain blocks or units

dusk bramble
#

Ah, a research material. A rarer concept, but not entirely uncommon.

#

What would be the method of obtaining them?

cursive owl
#

raiding vagus outposts they often contain said components

dusk bramble
#

That does inspire an interesting concept

karmic hare
#

This person is full of good ideas btw

dusk bramble
#

What if raiding outposts for their materials and salvage was the main way you expanded your own influence? Perhaps via a system of complex material chains making it possible but not simple to automate resources.

karmic hare
#

They are fully capable of doing a unique and fun mod

dusk bramble
#

ADHD is a bummer, isn't it.

karmic hare
#

They get hung on the small things. It's hard not to when they pile up

dusk bramble
#

Cash, that's a part of ADHD.

karmic hare
#

ok?

dusk bramble
# cursive owl elaborate a lil

Either your core unit is a capable attacker, or basic units are cheap. You can set up automated production, however it spends considerable time and resources. A direct assault, immediately, on a small enemy base mainly used for storage could net you a major haul. Containers within could store large amounts of manufactured resources, and can easily be captured for your use. Resources in the containers may be extracted direct or with unloaders and use your preferred distribution method to be fed into your core. Such captures provide you with the resources to build much more large-scale and ward off incoming attacks.

karmic hare
#

tbf we don't get very strong core units much at all

#

cheap basic units usually results in them being weak

dusk bramble
#

I believe the only player units capable of direct assault existent in mods at this moment are the upcoming offensive constructs of Allure's blue Warden.

karmic hare
#

Qeralter (the now set aside side planet for aquarion) had a concept for "shells" which would accomodate for different core unit purposes

#

but I ave a better idea now

dusk bramble
#

So you also admit to incomplete projects.

karmic hare
#

it's not incomplete

#

well

#

it is

#

just not scrapped

#

I still work on it along with tantrolls

#

generally the entire mod is incomplete

#

just now I'm kicking it off

#

Qeralter is fun

#

just gotta get it polished

karmic hare
dusk bramble
#

I never mentioned any dislike for incomplete projects.

karmic hare
#

not sayin you did

#

My projects aren't killed after 3 days and starting a new one

dusk bramble
#

Allure remains incomplete and may never be finished. I do not hold the highest hopes right now of my physical safety, let alone returning to the modding scene soon.

dusk bramble
dusk bramble
#

No.

karmic hare
#

hope it gets better

dusk bramble
#

It won't as soon as it needs to.

marble swift
cursive owl
#

anyways i will finish this :p

cursive owl
#

wip now i need to add wateeer

#

gonna rename water to aquilim

cursive owl
#

added water :3

#

no one here :p

#

tried to make ducts look unique

#

@here

warm obsidian
#

hello

cursive owl
#

hello

warm obsidian
#

i will finish the mod

i will finish the mod

i will finish the mod

i will finish the mod
-# i will finish the mod

cursive owl
#

indeed

#

i will

haughty imp
#

damn new one

#

dont make it die, goodluck bro

cursive owl
cursive owl
#

uhh thingy

#

vent generator

#

yes ik sqar sprite false

#

fixed it

karmic hare
#

Like a 45 degree rotated squar

#

Also that drill fx is cool as hell

#

Also what if the vent didn’t make power but made a resource that can be converted to power n other things

#

So you have a choice between power or infrastructure

dusk bramble
#

Or the power was the infrastructure all along and requires smth like conduit routing

karmic hare
#

technically could do both

cursive owl
#

interesting

#

so like
solar panels and generators mostly make power directly
but the vent generators produce liquid power or icher

#

(btw its pronounced icker)

#

and some factories need icker to work

#

so:

  • limestone (non icker)
  • crimson regolith (icker)
  • ashenite (non icker)
  • rusted sand (icker)
  • deepsea vent (multipurpose)
#

@karmic hare what do you think?

karmic hare
#

mmm

#

sounds good

#

vents have dif properties

#

would make for interesting gameplay

#

what is icker btw?

#

limestone...

#

concrete...

cursive owl
#

some enigmatic substance that contains power, can get discharged and produces nickel sometimes

karmic hare
#

so an energy dense material?

#

producing nickel don't make sense tho

#

or is it a sort of liquid battery?

haughty imp
#

I would like to see nucleosynthesis in this mod

cursive owl
#

kinda its a mixture of quartz, nickel and some other stuff

karmic hare
#

it would make sense if it gets charged by heat

#

what would the discharched form of this material look like?

cursive owl
#

gas diluted into a liquid

karmic hare
#

so basically i turns to dust

cursive owl
#

kinda

#

it can get recharged

#

burning strontium produces heat and icker can get recharged

#

it does have a more potent variation which can be extracted with larger more advanced machines

#

so:
icker and elektrium

#

also icker is vent exclusive, so no factories can make it

#

if you dont count reducing elektrium into icker

#

im not sure if i want icker to be orange or green

karmic hare
#

what if you could "recharge" icker for reuse but with diminishing returns

#

if heats readily available but not icher you can "recharge" it's dormant form

cursive owl
#

so like if you recharge it it will be a little less potent than usual

#

and said recharged icker cant be further reused

karmic hare
#

you get less icker

cursive owl
#

so like you lose some like the 1 piece of missing regolith from the kilns

#

cuz 4 regolith -> 2 nickel 1 rhenium

karmic hare
#

guh

#

diminishing crafts suck

cursive owl
#

so yea regolith is flammable so ig some of it burn away

leaden radish
#

i can try it out on my node if you will

cursive owl
leaden radish
#

yeah that sounds neat too

leaden radish
#

i can see the inspiration from stelline where all tiles are ore

leaden radish
#

and i really like the brass/golden base pallete

cursive owl
#

only early game metals can be extracted like this, rest of it is all sort of mayhem

leaden radish
#

combined with the orange power wire glow

cursive owl
#

sorry for a lil offtopic

leaden radish
#

also maybe try experimenting with this sorta shape?

cursive owl
#

interesting

leaden radish
#

here is the raw

cursive owl
leaden radish
#

volatile liquid is cool

cursive owl
#

first 5x5 will be the slag extractor, it takes regolith to function and needs to be put on mesostone or sand

leaden radish
#

good luck with the project

#

looking forwards to seeing more

cursive owl
#

after gold we get quartz and aurirene alloy

#

then what :p

#

something with icher most likely

karmic hare
#

is there silver?

leaden radish
#

-# so have I regarding Envertin, Stelline, Defiance, Paratech, Compromise, Perforion....

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

I gotta get to work on smth

karmic hare
leaden radish
#

-# Then again Enigma seems to be doing relatively well

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

actually meaningful mechanics

leaden radish
#

The power system is the shining jewel of that mod, and it was hard-fought for

#

speaking of Enigma... i have to do a thing

karmic hare
#

with most mods mechanics seem to be just another layer of micromanagement seen as annoying tedious or irrelevant

cursive owl
#

i wonder if i should add chromium alongside silver

#

cuz inconel :p

karmic hare
#

I have inconel

#

Fuck

leaden radish
#

if you get some sort of acid or base you can do something with galvanic cells for power generation

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

I ain’t claiming a real work alloy lmao

#

I don’t own the name

cursive owl
#

the name just popped into my head while i was trying to sleep lmao

karmic hare
#

That’s what I meant to say

#

by the end of Aquarion im gon have every alloy

#

No use avoiding them

cursive owl
#

takes icher and desert water

leaden radish
#

big drill

#

i see your mod's drill progression is 2x2 -> 4x4 too

cursive owl
leaden radish
#

two drill lines?

leaden radish
cursive owl
leaden radish
cursive owl
#

also normal drills transition into wall drills later on

leaden radish
#

i've seen psammos execute a drill side branch pretty well - a much faster drill, but limited regarding hardness

#

where you need low-hardness products a lot

#

i had plans for a literal branching drill progression, where at one stage you get two drills, one thats capable of mining ore A but not ore B and the second variant vice versa

#

there is an in-built variable to exclude a single type of product from being mined

#

i also see you've incorporated the spear-head beam nodes?

cursive owl
leaden radish
#

also works quite well

#

sorta reminds me of the growing spear laser beams from some discontinued mod

cursive owl
leaden radish
#

yeah

#

if it can be used to boil enemies it can be used to transmit power ig

haughty imp
haughty imp
leaden radish
#

<name>-top-invert on a burst drill i assume

haughty imp
#

ok thanks

leaden radish
#

the base game does that

cursive owl
#

yall i lack turret and unit concepts :p
can u think of some while i make factories

haughty imp
#

im just saying the bullet, can be used for turret or unit

haughty imp
#

oo, maybe bullet with the interval is sublime bullet's just like my xanthia t4 mech

cursive owl
haughty imp
#

corret

leaden radish
#

icker-based explosive artillery

cursive owl
#

oo and quartz shrapnel gun :p

cursive owl
#

mm icher heater

karmic hare
#

you should make a mod release soon. Even if you don't have a campaign or anything

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

fx is great

#

ima go eep

karmic hare
#

Woks

cursive owl
cursive owl
#

takes water and power

#

i need a second way to get nickel and rhenium

#

mm

#

slag centrifuges

#

no thats just adding an extra step

#

mm

#

aha! sand sieves

#

using oasis water nickel and rhenium will sink to the bottom, kinda like a prospector sieve thingy

#

now that adds a use for normal sand lmao

cursive owl
#

now all i need is an aa turret

#

missile launcher

cursive owl
#

thats all everything in my todo list is done for today

#

also tiny arsonist

#

shotgun

#

smaller arsonist

karmic hare
#

Hyperium is back

cursive owl
#

indeed

cursive owl
#

ima remake the units

#

:p

cursive owl
cursive owl
#

uhh i forgot what i was supposed to do lmao

karmic hare
#

fun

cursive owl
#

seashells

haughty imp
#

She sell seashell-

cursive owl
#

i need ideas of how to get the shells

#

i mean like a crusher is a simple answer but i want the player to actually put in effort to get carbide

haughty imp
cursive owl
#

the shells are calcium carbonate

#

so we can get carbon and ozone from them

#

using the red shells / carapacyte and mixing them with ozone synthesizes blast compound

#

meanwhile the shellstone is used as a method of getting carbide
by mixing it with rhenium under lots of heat it will output carbide and ozone

cursive owl
#

now how do i post a server link

open ether
#

put it in your about me or put it in the mod

haughty imp
haughty imp
haughty imp
leaden radish
#

and maybe you also get waste sand you need to get rid of

rocky sand
cursive owl
#

gonna add a ozone extractor

cursive owl
#

so yk how we have an impact reactor on serp

#

what if thermonuclear reactor :p

#

consumes:
icher
blast compound
liquid-coolant
outputs:
idk power, heat and water

open ether
#

why does this mod develop so quickly its scary

cursive owl
#

mainly depends on my motivation
high motivation = very fast development
no motivation = me playing random webgames

#

so todays todo stuff is done

#

tomorrow is carbide, plastic and fisson reactors

cursive owl
#

sadly this mod is dead
is what id say if i was working on a different mod
arrikoth is different...
carbide kiln

haughty imp
#

boo, booo, late april fools (/j)

cursive owl
#

time
to
make

#

your mod has arky too?

karmic hare
leaden radish
#

there are no releases yet

cursive owl

#

or smht

karmic hare
#

its just going to become a meld-asthosus

#

or i can just remove the icherlogged ones

karmic hare
#

Or do a thing where it’s a entire map of metal

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

Fair

cursive owl
#

like if you count massive abandoned bases that will happen but expect there to be crimson regolith

#

cuz without it you are softlocked apparently

#

also only support units are air

#

units thingies
overviews:
tanks - scouts, used in recon missions and as glass cannons
spiders - normal attackers, default unit used as a basic siege engine
hover - tanks, massive flying tanks. slowly get stronger with an exponential curve
air - support and recon squads, can be used in basic utility or as missile skirmishers
cons:
tanks - fragile and somewhat expensive
spiders - jack of all trades master of none
hover - veeery expensive and difficult to mass produce, also kinda terrible in the earlygame
air - kinda fragile and support based, so damage penalties
pros:
tanks - very useful in dashing through weakliy defended areas
spider - mildly useful in every situation
hover - flying ships, very durable, very powerful
air - simple utility and somewhat cheap

#

also i still lack ideas :p

#

weapons

cursive owl
#

i need ideas for a way to get rhenium and nickel

#

beside crimson regolith smelting cuz in some sectors there will be no regolith to mine

cursive owl
#

time to port to v8 <3

#

here we go :P

cursive owl
#

new ver = new test maps lmao

#

-# now i have an excuse to give hover units funny effects

cursive owl
#

rhenium + icher and other crap does look like choclate

#

-# fun fact: icher tastes like a blend of salt, tree sap and choclate

#

dont drink it tho, you dont want to become a walking timebomb

cursive owl

@haughty crypt uh sorry for the ping but i want to post a link to my server here how do i do that?

@dear internet ppl
i summon you to give me ideas for units
any tree

lean fiber
#

do tanks have ideas yet

#

@cursive owl

#

also what if hovers have extremely low drag and acceleration which means that they are worse to move around with than the company cruisre form lethal company

cursive owl
#

and tanks are like scouts lmao

lean fiber
#

im going to explode

cursive owl
lean fiber
#

yeah so what if. tanks have a super cool circle around them that light enemies on fire if they are in the super cool circle

#

wouldnt it be such a great idea to make everything near a thing start slowly exploding

cursive owl
#

so a funny way to say a status field

#

interesting

lean fiber
#

yeah

cursive owl
#

it makes it like you dont want tanks near your units

#

thats a really good idea ngl

lean fiber
#

also. what if

t4 and t5 would have a gun that fires bullets that turn into flamethrower sentries

#

t4 "sentry" would just directly explode into flames (like a mine)
t5 sentry would shoot at nearby enemies. explodes after like 20 or 15 seconds

cursive owl
#

im going to make them launch "drop-pods"

lean fiber
#

t3 and t2 tanks would fire bullets that just explode into a weird fire cone away from the unit

#

(or you could have it spawn a invisible unit for 5 ticks that just shoots once towards a enemy and explodes after doing so)

cursive owl
#

t3 is planned to be a napalm cannon tho

#

kinda like a shotgun

lean fiber
#

i just got a ridiculously decent idea that i will steal from myself. you cannot stop me

cursive owl
#

-# also pls star the mod :p

lean fiber
#

no

also im finally making decent turrets and not fiddling with palettes

lean fiber
#

how about crimson wastes where theres some rocks protruding out of the ground. like those weird coral things

cursive owl
#

interesting

#

mmmmm :p

haughty imp
lean fiber
#

its like. the red sand was blown over a beach in mass quantities

cursive owl
#

the brown is rock

#

and the wavy ish one is also rock

#

steam plus said glass might make smth, regolith?

#

mm

#

crimson glass + sand + steam = quartz?

dapper bolt
#

kil

cursive owl
#

time to make this annoying

#

icher vents no longer exist

#

ether now needs to be converted into icher via meld style outlets

#

or smth im not sure

dapper bolt
#

kil

cursive owl
dapper bolt
#

mine end is now :c

cursive owl
#

regolith mine ded

dapper bolt
#

lmao

cursive owl
#

hmm

#

ima bring anthraxium

cursive owl
#

@leaden radish the icher mine launcher idea you gave me :P

cursive owl
#

after im done with turrets

dapper bolt
#

what did i tell you about the creativity trap

cursive owl
lean fiber
#

just steal the ideas back??? duh???

cursive owl
cursive owl
#

to do list:

  • smolder
  • anvil
  • overdrive
  • spark
  • reticle
#

and amber

#

fun fact icher contains traces of amber

leaden radish
#

i really wonder how it forms now

dapper bolt
#

it forms when amber is dissolved in piss

#

what the fuck am i even saying anymore someone kill me

cursive owl
#

also icher doesnt form only from amber

#

its an amalgamation of amber, quartz alkali metals, nitroglycerin and who knows what

dapper bolt
#

ok

#

is the "who knows what" piss?

cursive owl
#

its pure thermal energy smth

dapper bolt
#

:c

cursive owl
#

also its blue by default, mixing it with sand and amber gives it its orange-ish hue

dapper bolt
#

:c

cursive owl
#

mister tinport im making the tanks now
-# they are tanks now

#

also spiders are idk assault

#

using arikothian amber you get power and also rage and bloodlust..

#

also new mech line:-
hook
sickle
snare
harpe
scythe

#

also mechs are mostly melee, some of thier weapons are long-range sentry deployers or sticky gernades

#

also some of them will leave a sentry when killed

#

specifically the t2 t3 and t5

cursive owl
#

rn we sadly only have three stargazers :(
can yall help atleast to get to ten stars?

lean fiber
#

no

haughty imp
#

How rude

cursive owl
#

also if you see that any map has mechs

#

i advise you to invest in long range weaponry

#

and knockback turrets, example: stagger

#

dubbed tin can dispenser

#

just yeets a cylinder at units

cursive owl
#

sentry turret lmao

#

that fuse rlly thought its going to win

dapper bolt
#

can i chargeback it?

cursive owl
#

when the unit dies it drops it

#

also its smaller than the unit so you can just chargeback the turret

#

also this mod will have veeery powerful units, much stronger than your turrets or smth

#

thing is units are pestering to actually make

#

example

#

dont mind the factories only look at the hull related stuff

#

t1 and t2 are made in a more sane way tho

#

also hybrids like the hover and mech trees require basic unit trees to construct

#

hovers and mechs need icher and amber respectively

#

methods of t1 and t2 construction

#

hover units dont require hulls

#

the need the class of units directly

#

also unit trees:
basic:

  • air support
  • spider
  • tanks
  • ships
    hybrids:
  • mech
  • hover
#

first two tiers of hybrids are somewhat weak

#

higher tiers get very powerful but expensive

#

and require additional steps

#

how you make hybrids

#

now the real mayhem will start when making t4 and t5s

cursive owl
#

todo list for today:

  • silver a ground ore
  • an upgraded drill (lithium tech)
  • lithium smelting
  • alt pallete for cool tech and use it as plating
  • make planet mesh thing
  • finish claw mechs
#

and after this is done ima work on the ships?

karmic hare
cursive owl
#

its a second base palette for reinfoced ish areas

#

and some other stuff

cursive owl
#

also a tiny fact abt this acc, its actually two-maned

#

#

#

haughty imp
#

oo

#

i just tried it, pretty banger, but i don't really like such genre, i prefer Classical and jazz

haughty imp
#

i tried the ziggurat and theres a laugh sfx, so funny lmao

cursive owl
#

ah ziggurat is one of his more well known tracks

#

personally i enjoy: solace(alpha axiom) other side(fragments) dancing alone(aqear) overdrive(full devoid) and anamnesis(how it began)

#

overdrive projector lmao

#

random poll

#

top three will be picked

#

even more industrial grey

leaden radish
#

this all looks rather cool

cursive owl
#

and that industry thingy

leaden radish
#

i couldnt tell whenever it does but I like what you did with the drawers

cursive owl
#

crap i need to resprite units a third time

#

mechs just going to get recolored or smth

#

made it less empty

#

ooooooooooooooooooooooooo

#

mechs can be vagus exclusive

#

so only research components

#

and hovers are idk, uhhhh

#

conquisitoris?

haughty imp

cursive owl
cursive owl

what do i do now

#

:p

#

hmmm

#

resprite more factories ig

#

or work on molten armaments

cursive owl
#

gonna change drills and turrets

#

and a new conveyor

cursive owl
#

and units

#

the current spiders are way to overpowered

#

and mechs need a resprite and some fixes

cursive owl
#

and i need hybrid unit ideas

#

they can be kinda "unique" so yall can go wild with ideas

lean fiber
#

make the t1 for one of them be like a crawler but instead of just straight up exploding it turns into a scathe missile

cursive owl
#

uses of every unit class
tank - basic attacker and a tank what did yall expect
ship - overseas attacking vessles
hover - scouting units and glass cannons
spider - all terrain attacking units
support - the name says it

#

idk if yall wanted the hybrid unit situation

Ah, another CY4NIDE mod. I need to keep better track of this community.
Let me guess, this one will be dead by next month. Prove me wrong, I would be incredibly happy to see it.

also i finally figured out how tank treads work

#

uhhh i might have to rewrite the progression

#

if we actually want a faster release cuz the current factories are a dumpster fire

cursive owl
#

arikoth is something i personally like making, the others were just short term projects to fill my empty head

I don't see how/why this mod can be a clone of azimut :|

They looks pretty different for me

Then it's just Erekir clone

cursive owl

elaborate?

if this was arctican, yea it is an erek clone but this is arikoth not arctican

time to rewrite the tech tree by merging the current the new and the old

cursive owl
#

local wildlife time

#

yippee

cursive owl
#

so right now i need an idea on an alternate recipe to:
blast composite
nickel and rhenium
gold

cursive owl
cursive owl
#

replaced with magnetite

wispy blaze
cursive owl
#

sulfuric not yet

#

i am rewriting much of the midgame tho so i can add sulfur

#

i might make rhenium a mineable

#

and nickel into a regolith or sand based mineral

#

prolly regolith and some other random stuff

wispy blaze
cursive owl
#

i can just shove a random bit of icher into it

wispy blaze
#

(yes I saw the molecule but I mean it as in "what is up with the azides")

fair swift
cursive owl
#

i like azides

golden raft
wispy blaze
cursive owl
#

the version in the public version is outdated

#

also i neeed to make one

#

but i cant "zoom in and out" cuz my scrollwheel broke

cursive owl
#

also uhh arikoth is somewhat earth like but more akin to a desert

#

with forests like massive oases and mangroves like smaller ones while the rest is huge canyons and mesas

lean fiber
#

is this for real?

cursive owl
#

some more silly things, arikoth is approx 3-4 times the size of earth but the icher makes its gravitational pull similar to earth's

cursive owl
lean fiber
#

how does icher do that 😭

cursive owl
lean fiber
#

i do n ot understand the physics behind this. this is truly derstanble

cursive owl
#

also icher itself is just a vessel that carries two types of elemental energy

karmic hare
lean fiber
#

does the planet push the icher away

#

with its gravity

cursive owl
karmic hare
cursive owl
#

most of the icher is in arikoth's mantle

cursive owl
karmic hare
#

So it’s just a high volume but little mass

cursive owl
#

cuz icher is everywhere underneath the surface

#

-# yes icher geysers exist

lean fiber
#

if we explode a hydrogen bomb can we get icher lake

#

really strong hydrogen bomb

cursive owl
#

even if icher is explosive it needs a specific reaction with regolith to explode

#

so yea everything's bullets contain regolith (dont ask how it works with lasers tho)

lean fiber
#

im asking. if i cause a incredibly oversized detonation on the surface then will i acquire access to a large mass of icher

lean fiber
#

this is so interesting...

#

if i cover the map in explosives how much icher do i get

cursive owl
#

if knockback doesnt exist you'll have a huge lake

cursive owl
#

none apparently

lean fiber
#

NOOOO

cursive owl
#

the crust is too dense

lean fiber
#

is this like a pizza

if you do blow it up in a deep cave ig you can get some in trenches
