Fair enough.
Do you think it would be a good idea to switch minerals types as well?
I was specialized so I had the right ratio's before the last patch. To not be at a disadvantage due to this shift it would be cool if minerals would switch mineralTypes.
Just a general idea.
-
It would bring a bit of chaos and uncertainty to player strategies, I think we should avoid such things.
-
With the density changes, I think it should be wise to change the chance of switching based on density levels.
DENSITY_LOW: 15K amount ( 5% of all deposits) - 90% chance to switch
DENSITY_MODERATE: 35K amount (45% of all deposits) - 10% chance to switch
DENSITY_HIGH: 70K amount (45% of all deposits) - 10% chance to switch
DENSITY_ULTRA: 100K amount ( 5% of all deposits) - 90% chance to switchThis way DENSITY_ULTRA and DENSITY_LOW will be less avoided or wanted.
-
Are u considering adding an"escape" trigger from the LOW/ULTRA options as at 10% chance ur mineral may never switch, so something like "after 5 renews at LOW/ULTRA chance to switch to another density is 80%"
-
though i actually like the all 10% and the chance for you to lose 1 or 2 minerals for a given duration. It'll create the need to use the marker meanwhile and stock minerals/credits if you hit the ULTRA density deposit
-
With the density changes, I think it should be wise to change the chance of switching based on density levels.
Well, I think it is reasonable to make LOW and ULTRA switch chance 100% even, so that they are guaranteed to be just a one-time surprise.
-
That sounds reasonable!
-
Interesting changes! +1 for different chances (10-90 or smth) for density changing.
Some thoughts: doesn't it sound like reserve for future density extending possibility with Power Creeps?
-
reserve for future density extending possibility with Power Creeps?
Yes, it is what we have in mind also.
-
Please don't make power creeps do everything.I'd love to see some other things for power creeps.
To not get off-track, can we get a thread going with the "global" ideas of what a power creep is going to affect (creeps, sources, buildings, minerals, boosts). Maybe the community can come up with some unique power-creepabilities.
-
Sure, right after the standalone server is released.
