questions about what we can do and cannot do in em8er

[Wraithbane]

Water is death yo! Many a time I misjudged and ended up dead. That water was more dangerous than the Chosen. ^^

Mark said no. Unnecessary and expensive. Try lava!

No to water as a terrain feature or no to swimming?

 

[Sik San]

Both, I assume.

 

[Pandagnome]

i still could of seen a submarine or some strange underwater or under lava civilization would be interesting to see the effects of prolonged lava exposure would cook many things even my tofu.

my favorite map was actually devils tusk so I'm good with lava. Still water made Copa Cabana unforgettable for my family. we lost it when we saw that place for the first time.

should we swim or nah?

Water: The most dangerous element.

You mean...like a Pool in a VIP area?

I mean a small pond of water. Pool like water a big puddle but we need to cross it. And instead of getting dmg we can stand/ swim the darn thing. XD

Like an Epic Metal bird

*flys with a smile like the wind of freedom*
*see a pray and dives down*
RAAATATATATATATATA
*flys back up with a smile into the freedom*

Would be cool that we start out with just building bases on land, and if the game has grown enough and is succesful enough, have a Xcom:Terror from the deep style patch which allows for a special underwater Mek, bases built on platforms on the ocean and with new kraken and c'thulu style kaiju to fight and such!

Some birds like to swim hehehehehe

Some bird eats stones to digest better...I believe Torgue does the same

I don't need a swimming animation or anything fancy. I just want the option to go deep into water to look and roam around without being damaged.

You could cut my movement speed because fluid dynamics but please, don't make the water damage me.

 

[spiralofhope]

FYI, reading the PDF, liquid won't even be available in the first terraforming stage. Perhaps afterward though.

I only posted this for a good chat lol and about a small not so important iddea so dont go crazy lol

Guess this is where the open and enclosed visual option on the mek can be used as well

I donated too low to get the visual book so I may be talking about of my ass....

but since we are terraforming worlds and the 1st world setting is ice which slowly moves to the last of a lush world. I guess it would make sense to have mining/THMPR events underwater when that portion of the world unlocks.

It could make it interesting to see a whole list of craftable frames, modules, weapons, THMPR for efficient underwater events rather than using the normal omiframe. They could even do it exactly like what Aca9 has said. Let the normal omniframes be able to traverse into water but at movement cost. Which means they could mine underwater but it would be very difficult to mine for the rare stuff.

Yet again I feel the need to reiterate...Grummz has stated that he does't intend to have an large bodies of H20 anywhere in Em-8er. I am just guessing but any forest/jungle type terrain that gets created will probably have water drippers and such to regulate enough water to keep things hydrated without creating a lot of runoff. Water Condensers would pull water out of the air which would prevent H20 precipitation. I also suspect that environments which would normally require a lot of water here on earth are going to be critically rare.

Remember the ice is not water ice...
