SUGGESTIONS: More generator types, and implementing the other galaxies as addons.
Hi there. So before I start, I decided to merge these two suggestions into one. I can split them if needed.
More generator types: I know there are other mods that do this, so perhaps implement these as an addon?
- Wind generator. Works like Galaxy-Space's wind turbines, only working in planets with atmospheres. About as efficient as a coal generator? I suggest this as I personally don't want to use GalaxySpace, due to the conflicting art styles between vanilla, Galacticraft, and GS's GUIs. Petty I know, but ExtraPlanets fits my needs better. Steam power: I know these will have to be single-block, but nothing's stopping us from using pipes to connect the following together? Steam power can function out of atmosphere, but only with electric fireboxes. I'm suggesting this one as steam power's virtually nonexistent in Galacticraft.
- 3 types of fireboxes. A liquid fueled firebox, which burns fluids defined in the config file. A solid firebox, which is less efficient and burns furnace fuels, and an electric firebox, which uses electricity, thus making it mildly ineffective.
- A couple boilers. Perhaps an iron boiler, a steel boiler, and a desh boiler? Each more effective than the last. Boilers will use new heat-pipes to connect to fireboxes. Using the heat to convert water into steam.
- A steam turbine. This can use existing pipes/cables to function. Basically since steam would be a fluid, it can be piped in with Galacticraft pipes, and will convert steam into power. Which can then be cabled out. Has different tiers, using different materials, like the boilers.
Addon galaxies: So, I know the galaxy map screen is only a proof of concept, and not a vision of the finished product. But perhaps move them to addon(s)?
- Each additional galaxy would require a space station to be built on the previous galaxy's outer asteroid belt. This space station would need a new, special type of rocket pad, which essentially works like a booster/teleporter to the rocket (Idk the term)? Which brings me to the next thing:
- Long range teleporters. Literally just a very late-game teleporter which works across dimensions, but consumes excessively ridiculous amounts of power on use. Not to mention the fact it requires another on the other side, which would consume equal amounts of power. Thus making them extremely inefficient. Requires materials found in like... the 3rd Galaxy in the progression chain.
Thanks for reading my suggestions, and I hope to hear your opinions soon!
