Trading Cards Expanded
Hey guys, Love this mod so thought I'd start a discussion to see what other peoples thoughts are on the subject above.

IMO I love the trading cards waaay more than the models or the model kits. I really appreciate how the dev has decided that the drop rate will be a lot rarer to ensure its a long term objective as in games like PZ where there's no real objective once you're up in running I tend to struggle staying interested.

However I would love to see the trading cards get expanded slightly, first of all I'd love to see some way of displaying cards I've collected, display stands or booklets would be sick! I would also love to see additional card themes added in such as sports teams etc and also rarer cards such as signature cards or even a set of cards which is even rarer than the current gold cards so if you collected the lot you'd be a real grinder! Oh one other thing I'd love to see booster boxes or tins that contained maybe 10 packs? I'd like to think of these changes as somewhat 'short term' as I'd presume they'd be easy to develop.

For long term I'd love a skill related to cards such as being able to grade them like some form of PSA? Maybe called PZA lol.

please dev feel free to delete this if not allowed,

look forward to hearing other peoples ideas :) :spiffo:

You have some great ideas here and I have considered some of them myself. The main obstacle is artwork for things like booklets (think similar to looking at a map). The artwork I used for the cards came from a CC0 collection of icons for a fantasy game so I went for that theme.

Whilst I dont have much time right now given other PZ mapping efforts, I might revisit this mod for a v2.0 if there are enough fleshed out ideas or if anyone is willing to contribute better artwork for cards. Also mindful that using sports/movie related themes is a copyright minefield and thus why I've avoided adding such themes.

Finally, I did consider Spiffo cards, but there was not enough official artwork to make a full set beyond a dozen cards...so once again if there is more artwork TIS has then maybe a Spiffo collection might be added.

BTW - Thanks for the continued support and feedback to all the subscribers.

If you ever decide to come back to modding. Maybe I could entice you to create a mod centered around (waifu or real centerfolds) trading cards. Maybe a feature that allows you to view them similar to in game maps? Just an idea. Hope all is well.
