Well now this is creative. Spice is vital to space travel.

I'll add it as a mod option so you can turn it off

May I nicely ask to create another workshop item out of the terraformer one? I love my desert as it is :) With just thumpers. Or if possible, have a switch button for it to do terraforming or not.
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Oct, 2019 @ 9:06am 
Yeah, that'd probably be doable.
QueenPixxa 28 Oct, 2019 @ 7:08am 
I love it! even if it does nothing :D
What about giving it a terraforming funcion, like the thumping around is for making good soil or prepare the soil for some function? I haven't played much with the terraforming yet but I bet there are things it could do.

Instalove :D
ChoGGi  [author] 2 Jun, 2019 @ 10:38pm 
No worries :)
I've got a list of ideas for it, just never got around to doing any of them.
robotfly 2 Jun, 2019 @ 9:37pm 
i figured that was sarcastic. my mistake
ChoGGi  [author] 2 Jun, 2019 @ 5:45pm 
Did you read the description?
robotfly 2 Jun, 2019 @ 5:31pm 
So what does it do?
ChoGGi  [author] 21 May, 2019 @ 12:45pm 
yeah now that it's actually useful for something
assistant Frost, Science team 21 May, 2019 @ 9:49am 
it could harvest waste rock maybe?
Entropy 21 May, 2019 @ 5:57am 
:D dune desert planet, mars desert planet.
That would be awesome, worm sign and harvesters and vehicles from emporer battle for dune o.o

v0.9
Compatibility with Patriot Missile Defense System.
ChoGGi  [author] 24 Mar, 2019 @ 5:01pm 
Probably because I use the AttackRover class for random driving, shouldn't be hard to make it ignore the harvester.
shequan 24 Mar, 2019 @ 4:47pm 
Just got back to the game after a week or so and I can now see/ build the harvester. However, when I did build it, my Patriot Missile Defense System mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1381594280

started a full scale war against it. The harvester didn't seem to be taking damage so I used the option to destroy it. The harvester successfully self destructed but my missile defense system is still fighting the war! Fortunately I spoke with the Founders Council and they agreed to use an Autosave to restore peace to the galaxy.

v0.8
Fixed a bug from last update.
Shuttles now randomly attack "worms" (suspicious looking rocks).
Stopped the thumper sound when the game is paused.
Idle shuttles now fire jets down.
ChoGGi  [author] 14 Mar, 2019 @ 3:10pm 
huh, it should be in the egg menu, I'll take a look...
shequan 14 Mar, 2019 @ 12:49pm 
It's strange.. it's not showing up for me. The right side of my build (after decorations/outside decorations) shows an egg for your Martian Carwash and then two submenus for Silva mods, but not the harvester. Love your mods!
ChoGGi  [author] 13 Mar, 2019 @ 5:54am 
Why wouldn't it work? Like all my buildable mods, it's in the build menu (far right).
shequan 13 Mar, 2019 @ 5:39am 
Does this still work. How do I find/create one?
ChoGGi  [author] 30 Oct, 2018 @ 10:21pm 
I called it a spice harvester because it isn't a reference.
Wolverinester 30 Oct, 2018 @ 10:01pm 
Dune reference by chance?
ChoGGi  [author] 17 Sep, 2018 @ 9:39pm 
The only shuttles this should effect are the ones launched from the harvester.

but if you have a save with these frozen shuttles, I wouldn't mind taking a look?
catshaped-doll 17 Sep, 2018 @ 8:13pm 
does this stop shuttles from freezing because I didn't realize it at the time but this must have been the cause of my own shuttle failure
ChoGGi  [author] 11 Sep, 2018 @ 1:42pm 
Since the fifth.
SpaceCowboy7 11 Sep, 2018 @ 10:10am 
lol , nice. id like to add a 2dune" feel to the game. is this working as intended now?
ChoGGi  [author] 5 Sep, 2018 @ 9:14pm 
v0.5
Removed some log spam.
Cleaning up code (ChoGGi's Library).
ChoGGi  [author] 1 Sep, 2018 @ 12:09pm 
v0.4
It was breaking down, must've been too much spice...
Added a confirm before destruction.
Reworked the internals a bit.
ChoGGi  [author] 31 Aug, 2018 @ 3:03pm 
Yeah, I got that as well, working on a new version.
Rina Sav 31 Aug, 2018 @ 1:48pm 
He interfered with me, and I destroyed it. After that, all shuttles stopped flying, until I turned off the mod itself.
ChoGGi  [author] 31 Aug, 2018 @ 1:20pm 
No point, no use :)

Did you read the description?

Though it shouldn't be breaking down, might be something changed in DA update...
Rina Sav 31 Aug, 2018 @ 8:43am 
I built a harvester. He crawls on the surface of the planet. Does not produce anything. Behind him there is a trace. In the end, he broke down. Bots do not repair it. What's the point of this? What is the use?
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Aug, 2018 @ 7:37pm 
v0.3
Da Vinci...
No more thumping when the game is paused.
Sounds actually happen when you destroy it.
Pin icon changed to build icon instead of attack rover.
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Aug, 2018 @ 4:09pm 
I see I never got around to updating this.
catshaped-doll 28 Aug, 2018 @ 5:35am 
I like thumping sounds
ChoGGi  [author] 28 Jul, 2018 @ 8:06pm 
Oh, I'm no modeler.

I might be able to do something like tour scene from tremors 2? ;)
AV 28 Jul, 2018 @ 7:42pm 
Just a thought, create the worms..
MamaCoffeeCat 28 Jun, 2018 @ 4:27pm 
A recomendation, Have it produce rare metals. Spice is rare. Spice is life.
BadBoyBubby 23 Jun, 2018 @ 8:36pm 
the spice is essential for space travel...the spice is essential for life!!!!
seandoc12 23 Jun, 2018 @ 6:49pm 
lol a little nod to dune, i like that.
Mad WIzard 23 Jun, 2018 @ 12:40pm 
ive got a couple of your other mods cho, lets see what ya end up with on this one :)
ChoGGi  [author] 23 Jun, 2018 @ 12:28pm 
@Deadspartan95 Well at least you know what you want, I made a to do list for the harvester, so we'll see...

@Gilrad I'm liking those ideas as well.



@subscribers 43 people with a mod that does jack, you guys are awesome :)
Deadspartan95 23 Jun, 2018 @ 10:16am 
The reason why the navigator trait idea I had would do what it would do is obviously because of how the Guild Navigators from DUNE are able to fold space and time, because of being so high on the spice and having consumed so much of it throughout their lives that it also horribly disfigured their bodies. But yea, navigator colonists could fold space and time with their minds to get rid of the travel time for whatever rocket they boarded, making it simply appear on Mars as soon as you place an order, or instantly be on Earth as soon as it launches from Mars and into space. THAT would be awesome.
Deadspartan95 23 Jun, 2018 @ 10:08am 
Alsooooo, it would be cool if it was loaded onto rockets to generate more research or funding from the sponsor, or just funding.
Deadspartan95 23 Jun, 2018 @ 10:07am 
-Increased Brain Capacity: Like those crazy smart human calculators that have the huge eyebrows, colonists have a lot of memory storage and can almost instantaneously graduate from the martian universities, and generates extra research (like geniuses but way more).

-Telepathy: Colonists can increase production of wherever they are working (because it could be like they are helping communicate with or control the minds of their coworkers), but it causes minor discomfort and sanity losses to other colonists.

-Navigator: This would make a colonist "Earthsick," but whatever rocket the colonist with the navigator trait boards can somehow have no travel time when coming from or returning to Earth, making it so that rocket has no wait time at all. However, that colonist will never be able to be an available colonist.

(END)
Deadspartan95 23 Jun, 2018 @ 10:07am 
Spice could provide colonists with the following traits, if fed into a structure that colonists can gain these traits from:

-Life Extension: Colonists can age a lot more slowly (maybe slow enough to see the year 10,191).

-Blue Eyes: Generates happiness in the colony, and they can see much better in the dark than the average human, making them not show any discomfort or sanity losses while working hours during the night.

(continued in next comment)...

Out of all the resources Concrete would make the most sense for it to collect.
MachoNatchoMan 22 Jun, 2018 @ 6:14pm 
DUNE Mod holly shit i think that would be one of the nicest things to come for this game! :D <3 anyone who does a dune mod will have my eternal gratitude!!! :* xoxo
Travesty 22 Jun, 2018 @ 5:40pm 
Oh and Automatic Upvote for DUNE reference. GG
