Create your own town

[iLive2Own]

I think building your own town would be awesome. I don't really know how to do it, but it would cool if you could start off with just a few buildings, then somehow get walls, more people shops, etc. to make your own settlement. I haven't thought much about how you would get resources for your town, or get more people, that's where you guys come in =D

Well Megaton was founded from an old Air Hanger thing out near a crater made from a bomb that had fallen but had not exploded (The Atomic bomb in the middle ofcourse ;)) , it started as a whole in the ground, after a while some caravans started stopping by to trade, and then after a little bit longer they found the Air Hanger and started tearing apart the leftover planes for metal to use for the walls and buildings you see today :D

 

But there isn't much left out there that you could use you know.... I mean if you had enough people, DC ruins has 44358374985346583946 tonns of rescourses you could use, not metal, would take more effort and time, but yeah, think of the distance -.-

 

I mean sure, it would be modular, so you dont have to care, but they would have to make it realistic, like the settlement of Megaton, so you would need to gather rescourses from SOMEWHERE... Maybe Scrap Metal from somewhere, but with the size of those things you would need millions of them.

 

So i mean you could go into Geck and just make it yourself like that if you wanted, but modular wise, it would be too much effort for the modder and the player i bet (: Unless it was fully cheated -.- Like Raven Rock in Oblivion -.- But back in Oblivion there was rescourses comin' out ya ass if ya wanted em, so that's understandable....

 

My main point is, the reason you can't do it now, is because it would be too hard. (Unless your a cheating fool -.-)

I think this is a pretty good idea, it reminds of the MMO's that let you build houses or like AoC that lets you build keeps. Getting resources dosen't have to be that tought like say 5 pieces of scrap metal and 5 wood (plenty of dead trees right?) could make a wall, even though 5 pieces isnt realistic but this mod would be more about ownership than realisim IMO. the building schematics could be bought like weapon schematics and them placed in your inventory when you build them at the work bench, and yea I know it would be impossible to carry a building but how else you gonna place it? It would be hard work for a modder to make the A.I. aware of your town but it would be a great mod if anyone or a group of people did it. :biggrin:
