Tundra Defense

Recommended Posts

For those of you who are unfamiliar with Wasteland Defense, you might understand the concept a bit more by reading up on the mod and watching the videos here.

 

Now that Skyrim's Creation Kit has had some time to mature, I began work last night to bring my Wasteland Defense mod over to Skyrim and transitioning to Papyrus. After giving my computer shifty looks for the past eight hours, I've managed to come up with a solid and re-usable framework for Tundra Defense (Wasteland->Tundra, see what I did there?)

 

I hope to get a first version of it out the door next week that sports the construction system, market, basic guard patrol system, and at least 10-15 core Plans that can be constructed so that you can start getting your outposts off the ground. After that point I will begin to roll out a raiding system similar to the one found in Wasteland Defense. The end result will hopefully allow people to enjoy the same thrills they experienced playing Wasteland Defense on Fallout: New Vegas in Skyrim (hopefully with a few less glitches)

 

For now, I'll leave you with a few screenshots of my progress thus far, and I look forward to hearing your feedback and suggestions!

Ah, good. Just use this in moderation, as this is otherwise another notorious source of "save game bloat." I used that mod myself a few times. Ah, fun times.

 

Bingo. There isn't really a good way to combat this, but if you keep your outpost size reasonable it shouldn't be a problem. That's why I limit the construction range so you can't go placement crazy.

What is "save game bloat" exactly?

 

When your save files get big. Like, you look at your save folder and notice that your saves are getting to be around 10 to 20 MBs or more. I've noticed a strong correlation between the stability of the engine and the size of your save game (me and hundreds of other people).
