Peasant Wars!​

What is it?
For some reason you and a bunch of other very special scientists are stranded on some island. There isn't enough room, or food, for everyone. You must use lumber you gain from cutting trees to amass a robotic army capable of destroying the ENTIRE WORL--island.

Why the hell are you posting this now, if the map isn't even playable?
Why do Germans wear shoes?


Can I see some screenshots?
No! Yaaay!

This is just a small map I am making right now because I'm bored. So far I have created almost all the buildings, and some units. Oh, and the entire island is a forest. You start out in a little grove where you can attack trees to make a bigger base, or maybe hide from someone 1337er than you. Since you've all been so great, here is a screenshot!

So you get one peasent and you build a base to construct robots? Reminds me of Jurrasic Park :p

Sounds fun and like a map I would love to pla..y... pwn!

Sort of, except you are killing each other, instead of dinosaurs. :p

Added a new screenshot.

Somehow before I even looked at the maker of this thread I knew it was Turnip :p

I like the robot thing you got going though.
You might wanna change the models around a bit, because it seems they are that in everything (arcane vault for research in at LEAST 3 tech-type-thing maps (in fact I think I was gonna make a map awhile ago with an arcane vault as tech centre :rolleyes:), barracks for robots seems weird, and why do you need lumber for robots :p)

Somehow the scientist magically converts lumber to metal? Yes, lets go with that. :D

Can you maybe give some suggestions on what to change the Research Facility and Robotics Facility models to?

That's the thing... I couldn't think of anything :p

Maybe use Workshop for barracks and ... I can't think of anything for research facility :eek:

Wow, very good looking so far. I see you have that "Island Troll Tribes" gameplay just it's FFA. I like it. Good idea so far, keep working on it!

Island Troll Tribes without the pesky task of scavenging the whole map for just ONE rock. :p Frustrating, Very Frustrating, I mean what island has NO ROCKS!!!.

Maybe make a ship production facility, where you can train ships that go out to the water and collect oil.
Oil could be your secondary product (since you harvest lumber into metal, lol, maybe gold can be oil?) which is required to make speciality things.

For the sake of simplicity and the idiots out there, I think I should stick with one resource. Plus, gold is gained when you kill other peasants, which can be used to research advanced upgrades.

Also contains the upgrade for Lumber Harvesting and can research the ability to build Docks.

And a docks already being added. :D

The one description I skipped over was for lumber mill... funny :p

Anyways, since you ARE going to have docks, there should be some rivers running through your island.

I think that ships being able to bombard the enemy base from afar is good enough. Also, nice map. I already wanna try it out. :)

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
