adding tile blockers through event

[suplanter]

i just had a thought! what if events were created that would add tile blockers. this would help model disasters and stagnation and such. like if a planet is full and a colony ship is created the empty space would be turned into industrial wasteland or slums. or if a planet is bombarded and pops are killed or buildings are destroyed those tiles could turn into the above stated tiles.

maybe a type of orbital bombardment could be added that would create volcanoes on the planet. if a planet becomes a certain percentage of volcanoes then it could degrade to a molten world. so it is a fine balance between conquering a planet and destroying it.

Tile blockers is a good idea, if it's scriptable. Not too sure about being able to destroy planets. Even if a planet would be bombed to slag, it should settle after some time.

i guess i will have to muck about in the content files. they have implied that this game is the most moddable ever. so i will find out. a fun one i was thinking about is the xenozoo. maybe something could go wrong and the tile could turn into dangerous animals.

Destroying planets has been confirmed in the stream a few minutes ago, no further details given though.

There's also the asteroid event I forgot about. If not stopped, that makes a planet un-inhabitable.

We saw an event early in the blorg stream that moved a blocker with the living forests I believe.
