Possible V8 Content (Tantros)

Describe the content or mechanics you are proposing.

Being interested in Mindustry and it's unique technologies. I've thought of some cool features that can be added to the Upcoming V8 Update (Mainly Tantros Tech) The following possible features for Tantros are: Booster Modules: 3 types -Factory: boost unit and Resource production -Weapon: boost turret and support structures -Power: boost power production Size 2x2 (basic) 3×3 (advanced) Note: these Modules are optional, meaning they act as a new type of Booster besides coolants and heat

Sector Generation is more unique, consisting of island, ocean and underwater sectors

Special structures called Liquid barrier and Liquid drain are used to drain water, reveal more base materials and vents for power and create room for infrastructure. Maximum barriers size is 40×40 and draining size (for each Liquid drain) is 15×15 around it. Enemy units ignore and never target Liquid barriers only. Units Can go over Liquid barriers.

Power production on Tantros are Renewables that can be Tidal, wind or Geothermal energy with the possible reactors.

Units: there will be 3 tech trees. Naval, Air and Shark (Submarine) units with various new weapons such as Torpedoes, artillery shells, bullets, ocean bombs (mines) and radiation field (slowly damages enemy units)

That's all for now. These features comes from a player who has lots of knowledge of Mindustry and wants to further enhance gameplay

Describe how you think this content will improve the game. If you're proposing new content, mention how it may add more gameplay options or how it will fill a new niche.

These features will add new unique structures, units and increases the various technologies, sectors and strategies used to capture sectors.

Like I said, these features are specifically for the Tantros Tech Tree for the possible upcoming v8 update and adds more strategie to deal with Ocean units on the New Water Planet

Before making this issue, check the boxes below to confirm that you have acknowledged them.

[X] I have checked the Trello to make sure my suggestion isn't planned or implemented in a development version.
[X] I am familiar with all the content already in the game or have glanced at the wiki to make sure my suggestion doesn't exist in the game yet.
[X] I have read README.md to make sure my idea is not listed under the "A few things you shouldn't suggest" category.

There are some nice ideas here. Reading this inspired me to share my own vision for Tantros. Here are my ideas so far:

Units will have 2 types - Ground and Submarines ("air"). Each will have 2 trees - pure damage and utility/support.

-Crab line (Ground tank+dmg; can scale walls) -Coral line (Ground gatherer/builder/repair/light dmg) -Shark line (Submarine mobility+dmg) -Dolphin line (Submarine light dmg/healer/shielder)

Combat units will require to be holding items to use as ammo, similar to turrets. Each unit will have a certain carry capacity that will enable it to fight non-stop for about 30-60 seconds before needing to restock. Units can be set to have a preferred ammo type that they will restock with automatically or if ordered to by clicking on a core or container. Some units (mostly the utility/support units) may require energy, which they can get from batteries in much the same way. This will be used to mine, repair, build, charge shields or heal, as well as use energy-based weapons such as piercing lasers. Units can be set to recharge automatically. Energy will be displayed as a small yellow bar over the unit.

This will require building forward bases and outposts for recharging and resupplying if you want to push offensively. Core unloaders will make a comeback to make this easier (but not cross-sector resource and core schematic transfers like on Serpulo)

Since Walls can be bypassed by most units, they will only serve as bullet sponges. However, if an enclosed bubble of walls is built, there will be an option to build a "Dome Support" inside it that will close off the area and enemy units will not be able to enter it without making a breach in the walls first. When the dome is breached, the Dome Support will collapse, making entry possible. The dome will not block that team's units, and ducts/conduit bridges can pass through it normally. However, turrets and units will not be able to fire from inside a dome.

Domes could be drained of water by using specialised buildings. The larger the area the dome covers, the slower it's going to get drained, requiring more such buildings to speed up the process. Certain buildings will be boosted or may only work in a dry environment. This makes it crucial to protect your inner domes, since it will take a while to repair and drain them in the case of a breach.

Most turrets (excluding some early game options and power laser turrets) will require specialised ammunition (torpedoes) to fire. Those will be manufactured by factories, and could be used as ammo for high-end units too.

Power delivery will be made via wires that act similarly to bi-directional conveyors for power. To make them less clunky to set up, they will have "junction" versions that makes crossing ducts and conduits easier without requiring bridges - e.g. Duct/wire junction and Conduit/wire junction. This might make supplying lategame buildings with power, liquid and multiple item inputs clunky, so there will be a lategame alternative that acts like Serpulo's power nodes, however they will only work in a dry environment and explode if coming into contact with water (if the dome is breached).

Ducts will be present and will be the only way to get certain gases, required for crafting. Oxygen will be able to be extracted both from ducts (in the early game), as well as passively from the seawater. Oxygen will be used in much the same way as water is on Serpulo for boosting things.

Interesting ideas. Let me balance each feature you suggested.

There will be a total of 5 unit trees. 3 are pure dmg and 2 are support. Each tree consists of

Crab Boats (Pure dmg) Naval Unit: Transforms to Ground unit -Coral Crab Boats (Support) Naval Unit: Transforms to Ground unit -Air units (Pure dmg)
Shark Sub (Pure dmg)
Dolphin Sub (Support)

To make Tantros Unit trees more unique:

2 units (Support trees) can be reconstructed to T3
3 units (Pure dmg trees) can be reconstructed to T5

Reason: Tantros Support units are more useful towards healing, repairs, etc. Adds more variety to unit Tiers

Boat Crabs (includes Support) will eject legs to walk on land. Their weapons consist mostly of artillery, bullets and (lazer weapons /Support only)

Air units will have Missiles and bullets

Subs (Includes Support) will have Torpedoes, can drop explosive mines and (Has a dissolving energy field /Support Only)

Enemy units ignore Liquid drains (3x3 in size) and Bubble Projectors (2×2 in size)

Reason: It's gonna be a pain to drain and rebuild

Underwater Turrets consist of Torpedoes, mines and Salt Bombs (Soviet Torpedoes) that slowly damages and reduce armor by 1 (Stacks 3x)

Land Turrets consist of Missiles, bullets and artillery shells

Power cables will be similar to those of erikir but can be placed diagonally. Will destroy itself if submerged in water

Units that require Ammo or Power to operate will be needed a Depot. A 3x3 block that can store items and power used as ammo

Resources can possibly be water, sand, graphite, titanium, thorium and cyrofluid. The new resources are Salt Compound, Oxygen, Uranium and Nitrogen and Hydrogen.

Special 2x2 structures called Resource Router is capable distributing items and liquids in all directions. Requires 3 units of power to operate

Info on ways to produce power coming SOON

Pretty awesome ideas. Depots could be a combination of batteries and vaults and replace both on Tantros. Also another idea for a building - Sonar. This would have a different function depending on whether the map is at the surface or underwater.

-Underwater maps will have Fog of War enabled and sonars will work in much the same way radars on erekir do. However, they will also show enemy submarines and other units on the minimap in a much larger radius than their field of vision (think scathe range or slightly less).

-On the surface there would be no Fog of War, but submarines will be able to submerge, making them invisible until they surface to attack ships or buildings. They can't be seen unless you have your own submerged submarine in range or have a sonar.

This will create opportunity for interesting attack maps where you have to take out sonars to sneak by heavy defenses with subs.

Interesting. For subs to enter submerged mode on ocean or island maps, there has to be an anti-sub Torpedo Turret. The turret only works when a "Sonar Radar" is in its radius but the attack range is half the Sonar Sadar's range

-The depot will be changed to Ammo Depot. Storing power and resources for "Only" ammunition purposes. Batteries and Vaults will most probably be separate but reinforced like erekir's vault

-Also when a sub is submerged, they act as stealth units meaning their weapons are disabled during submerging. Their only weapons that work are Torpedoes and the (Support Only) radiation field.

Any amazing feature you suggested will be balanced by me if needed

I was thinking if you could detect a sub, then anything could attack it. It might be unrealistic, but it wouldn't be annoying to have a sonar just to see subs still sneaking by your defenses cuz you can't attack them. There could still be specialized anti-sub turrets that only target them and have built-in sonars (with smaller range though).

An idea for simplifying the dome system - The dome support building itself will do the water draining when supplied with oxygen. The more oxygen input it has, the faster it will drain. And of course the larger the dome area is, the slower the process.

On the surface, domes will act in reverse - you could fill up a dome with water by supplying water to the dome support and place buildings inside that work better underwater (for example some resource sublimators).

This dome system would be a hell to code though 😅

Having the crab and coral units convert to boats when they touch water is a pretty neat idea, this way they would still be useful on the surface. I'm unsure about the air units though, they would have to be balanced right (read: pretty underpowered) to prevent people from just spamming air to clear maps like the current meta on Erekir. We want to focus more on sub and boat gameplay.

Also depots could be cheap enough that if you want to only used them as storage or battery, you could. There could be a toggle on each depot to pick if you want units restocking from it or not. Why have 3 buildings with similar functionality when you could have one?

To Extremely nerf air units, T4 and T5 Boats are able to produce T1 and T2 air units

-Change Depot to "Storage Bus" -Storage busses are able to Store only Items (Liquid Tanks are separate) -Apply a Weapon module to allow the Storage Bus to store power and resources in it can be used as Unit Ammo -Bubble Projectors can't be used on land (Submerged sectors only). That's where Factory modules comes in.

-Factories that are required to be in water to operate can be placed in deep waters instead of using a bubble projector

-Electrolyzers will also be added to Tantros. Requiring water to produce Hydrogen and Oxygen, not Ozone

-The common Resource for Tantros can reasonably be Metaglass.

Reason: Metaglass is used for liquid transport and such, and because Tantros is a body of Water, Metaglass can be the perfect common resource.

You can mine metaglass from "Quartz Ore" and "Quartz Ore (Wall)"
2 New structures called the Vent Synthesizer and Thermal Turbine can be placed of Geothermal Vents.

-The Vent Synthesizer produces gasses depending on the Vent its on. Produces water as a byproduct

-The Thermal Turbine is the First Underwater power production and can't be placed in water. It produces more power than the Erekir Turbine Condenser, but most structures require more power to operate

-Special unit structures called the Naval Assembly and the Submarine Assembly can create T1 to T5 Units (Support Units will be using the normal Method by using Refabricators. Goes up to T3 "Support Only"

-To produce T3 and T4 you need the Basic Assembler Module (Erekir's version but a size of 3x3) and an Advanced Assembler Module (Size 5x5) can produce T5.

Similar to creating T4 and T5s on Erekir and Surpulo, Tantros will have a Structure to Input Low Tier units for Upgrading which is the New Payload Depot
Payload Depots turns units into payloads

Unit production on Tantros will be Different from both Erekir and Surpulo. To show an example, to Produce a T5 Naval Unit, you'll have to go through the process of creating a T1 then Input it to the 5x5 Naval Assembly again to Upgrade I to T2 and so on, That's where the Depot and Large Depot comes in, to turn units into payloads for Upgrading. You need to connect a basic Assembler Module for Upgrading to T3 and T4s. The Large Depot is able to Turn T3 and T4s into payloads, then Input it to the Same Assembler for the Final T5, which requires T2s and Walls (Similar to Erekir) and an Advanced Assembler Module. So what that means is that Tantros Unit production is Surpulo and Erekir Unit production methods combined. Support units however will have to follow the Surpulo method of Upgrading while Pure Dmg unit production will be more Unique

Interestingly, I'd begun developing a different concept of my own for Tantros in which there was a high degree of bio-technology. Also, my concept included different resources such as Iron and Steel due to Ferric Floors/Walls as well as Pink Ice Walls being in game at one point. Be this as it may, all of the ideas here seem pretty damn good and I wouldn't be opposed to them being put into the game if that was what was ultimately decided on.

Kind of wants me to launch some of my suggestions, though...

@Aiden910 share yours as well, I'd love to hear them! The sad thing is that Tantros may never be developed officially by Anuken, since he said he wasn't interested in making another planet. This means that the community will have to do it as a mod or a fork.

I did some research on the history and types of naval mines and it could be a really nice and in-depth system (pun intended) that could complement a base's defenses. Serpulo's shock mines always seemed underdeveloped to me.

The basic type is the contact mine that is triggered when bumped into by a submarine or ship. It won't target ground units in underwater maps (there will be a different version of it for ground, called the floor mine), since it can be only set at a certain depth. Those will have a very small activation range, requiring units to physically touch them to trigger. This will make "wiggling" through a minefield possible, but micro-intensive. They also don't differentiate between friendly and enemy units, so use with caution. The mines will be visible only to their owner, unless the enemy has a sonar in range or a minesweeper sub (from the support tree) that can detect and dismantle them (for their resources, no less!), or just shoot it from a safe distance that may set a chain reaction if they are closely laid.

Laying mines will also be done by a specialized minelayer (from the ground support tree) instead of the player ship - you can queue them, but not build them, instead minelayers nearby will go and lay them.

A more advanced type of mine will be the magnetic mine. They will have a larger trigger range, as well as explosion range, but will be susceptible to "mass minesweeping" by electromagnetic pulses that some subs will have (again, mostly the minesweeper and support tree). This makes them explode, but does not guarantee that the triggering sub will be out of range of the explosion.

The endgame mines will be torpedo mines - they have the largest range and have the added benefit of differentiating between friend and foe. When a target is in range, they will shoot a powerful torpedo at them. This missile can be shot down before making contact however.

EDIT: A small expansion on resources and resource mining: Heat will return as a mechanic, but it will be very different from how it is used on Erekir. Heat will be generated primarily by placing generators on geothermal vents. This heat can then be stored and transported via pipes that feed directly into heat-requiring buildings (like sublimators). This will make the system far more flexible than it is on Erekir, where you have to hug your buildings with heat generators, making building efficient schematics way harder and clunkier.

There will also be heat-generating buildings (like power generators and resources processing buildings relying on combustion), that might explode if the heat is not outputted or they are not cooled with coolant. Luckily, disposing of heat is pretty easy underwater - there will be buildings that you can attach to heat generators that just disperse a set amount of heat per second into the seawater, but it could also be used for other buildings instead of wasted. Heat management will be slightly harder on the surface, where you have to build these coolers in the water and link them via pipes to your heat generators.

Beryllium and Ferrite (iron) will be available as ground ores (no wall ores, due to the mostly-open environment, lacking extensive walls, instead making heavy use of cliffs). Ferrite will be able to be processed into Oxide (requiring Oxygen) or Steel (requiring Coal). Besides directly mining them from ores, there will be a way to get them by placing sublimators on different tiles - on Beryllic Stone tiles, it would slowly produce beryllium, on Ferric Stone it would produce Ferrite, on Carbon Stone it will produce Coal; On Arkyic Stone it will produce Arkycite (the only way to get it underwater, since liquid Arkycite will not exist). Sublimators will require power and heat to operate, and could optionally be boosted with Oxygen or by being in an oxygen-filled dome.

Let me Balance the Mines, Ammo and Generation and finally introduce some Power Generators

-Land mines will be manufactured by T3 Coral Crab/Boat (Support) unit. After construction, the Land mines are stored in the unit, acting as Payloads. A landmine is 1x1 in size and it can cause a chain reaction if multiple are placed next to each other. Landmines can only be placed by the Player manually controlling it or by commanding it to randomly place mines on a patrol line

-Ocean Mines will be Manufactured by T3 Dolphin Sub (Support) unit. Mechanicis are exactly the same like the explanation above this one

-When a mine is placed, it will have an Arming time before it can work

-Iron will be Called Ferrite

-Steel will be called Carbon Ferrite

-Iron Ore can be found commonly on Ferric Stone

-Graphite (Which is Compressed Coal) can be found commonly on Carbon Stone

-Arkicyte Ore can be found commonly on Arkic Stone but I don't think it is necessary to add. Sorry

-Heat will act as a new Gas on Tantros. Can be extracted using Thermal Power Factories or Reactors. Heat will be used for certain factories and as ammo for a Tantros version of a Flame Thrower (Burning Status effect won't work for units in water)

POWER PRODUCTION

-Geothermal Generator (Early-Mid Game) -Wind Turbine (Early Game) -Solar Radiator and Large Solar Radiator (Mid-Late Game) better than Surpulo's (Produces Heat Gas) -Tidal Generator (Mid-Late)

-Uranite Reactor- Uses Uranium, Cryrofluid and Heat Gas to produce Lots of power. Explodes Violently and leave an Acidic Cloud for a period of time that damages all Unit when insufficient Cyrofluid is produced

-Volcanic Reactor: Requires a Large Geothermal Crack, Large amounts of Water and Phase to produce Lots of power. Also provides Heat Gas as a byproduct. Explodes if too much Heat Gas is sustained in the Reactor, meaning you must use more Heat Gas than it Produces.

GENERATION -Island maps: An average map like e.g (Wendswept Islands). Cannot Drain Protions of the Ocean in such sectors. Ores are already exposed

-Ocean maps (No islands): Requires Liquid Drains and Bubble Projectors to create room for infrastructure. Reveals Geothermal Vents Ores, Hills and natural Walls (Basically a regular map with mountains but has to be revealed to show)

-Underwater Maps: Core Produces a Large Bubble around itself for infrastructure. Vents, Ores, Hills and Steep Terrain (Walls) will be seen (Besause you are underwater) but need Bubble Projectors to Drill the Ores and use the Vents

-Geothermal Vents are 3x3

-Volcanic Cracks (Vents) are 5x5

A new block called the "Weapons Factory" produces Torpedoes Rocket Mines and such for Unit Ammo ONLY

Today I'll be suggesting all New Tech for Tantros, with it's own custom resources and purposes (Changes May Apply). This is most probably the most polished content for Tantros. No further Suggestions for features will apply if Necessary ( I mainly made this Issue, so that's why)

If anyone has more suggestions on Future Tantros Features. Let me know so I can balance it and make a detailed analysis on what your Feature's purposes are and to indicate if it's needed or not. Thank you to those who have suggested more features

Some of these ideas seem almost like copy-pastes of already existing things from other planets or almost completely outlandish in terms of plausibility. Don't get me wrong though, I think some of the ideas are great and all still. I just wanted to point out some of these things.

@Aiden910 Well, we're not trying to completely reinvent the wheel and make a totally different game here. Some of the things on Erekir are copy-pastes from Serpulo. And it's best to be ambitious with new mechanics and ideas, at least until you get to code them and hit a brick wall headfirst :D

@Aiden910, Yes I do know that some structures are Copy-Pasted from Surpulo and Erekir but you must understand that Erekir also has some structures that are Copied from Surpulo with attributes that makes the same structures different from each other. If I were to create content that are completely new to Mindustry without any references, then coders would already struggle with the first object. That why some content are referenced to older content in the game to make things easier

-Tantros will have more Tanky Units, especially the Support only going till T3 and Buffer Turrets that can paralyze units. Also Cyrofluid will be easier to produce and power production will be more beneficial for more Power Hungry structures. Boats and Subs are well Armored (Like the Tanks on Erekir) and have an arsenal of weapons that makes them pretty deadly

Constructive Criticism is well accepted in this Issue. Just know that. I still have so many ideas on Mindustry's technologies

Also, I was thinking of Changing the common resource from Metaglass to "Nickel". It sounds more promising

This suggestion is now stale, and will be automatically closed.
