New Factory modules?

[Geodin]

Are there any new factory modules planned for PoBs in 4.87?

Is it impossible to balance the potential abuse of commodity-factories that turn basic commodities into higher level ones? I see why this wasn't implemented, but I'm wondering if there is a way to figure out the problems with the concept.

Just curious.

we have some ideas regarding pobs still - but its unclear how developed they are atm. - but the topic of expanding pobs is not done - we are just at the beginning of pobs

ADD 10 lvl base! 30 modules, 32(as i remeber) million hull, MAXIMUM EFFECT!

Yes because level 4s arent essentially impossible to kill as it is already...

Also, a 30 module weapon base? Yeah, that sounds like a great idea...

However the dev could always make Lv 10 bases health and repair rate to be on par with the current the lv 4 base, and make the current lv4 base to be weaker and easier to upgrade.. For the turrets maybe to add a script to prevent adding too much guns per level ?

[Geodin]

I didn't mean add more core levels. I meant adding factory modules, specifically for commodity creation from lesser commodities or other factory items like cloak/jump/survey/docking modules

These are all avenues that will be explored in due time. PoB development basically rests on Cannon though, and he's currently very busy with another important project.

Prduction = pilot acording to base IFF
Requeriments = 1 passanger (crew is used for bases so could generate problems) + X food + Y food + "weclome to disco" comodity + Z Sirius 10.000 credits card = 1 Pilot

Armor factory - Apropiated for Corporations like BMM or Navies shipyards?

---

Production: | UAU 1-8 | CAU 1-8
Requeriments: | Basic alloy | Ship hull panels and or Scrap metal | Premium scrap and or Super alloy

Bar / Restaurant / Grill Apropiated for OS&C?

---

Production: [Insert balanced income here] (I would sugest a very slow rate of "convertion" to prevent power trading, or the need to deliver Food comodities from all over Sirius
Requeriments: | Passangers / tourists ... | Food+Kyushu rice+Sinth paste+Luxury food... | Water + Wine ... |

Smelter - Apropiated for junkers?

---

Prduction: | Basic alloy | Ship hull pannels |
Requeriments: | Scrap metal | Premium scrap |

...

Things to have in mind on this factories are the "proximity factor" that could generate a production facility near to a place that sells all the comodities needed become a way to powertrade. To prevent his I sugest caomodities requeriments from all over sirius, or a slow/poor convertion rates.




Edit: Why don't you make a thread with a template for modules ides with a small guideline to prevent OP madules? Something like this;

Module name: My dining room

Module construction requeriments: [comodity 01] [Comoditya 02] ...

---

Produces: [product A]
Requeriments: [requeriment 01], [requeriment 01] ...

---

Produces: [product B]
Requeriments: [requeriment 01], [requeriment 01] ...

...

Perhaps some sort of built in time delay? I know the parts are only consumed per 16 second time frame. Is there a way to prevent abuse of these by capping the limit that can be produced in a 24/h cycle?
