XL Ring World

[Bitterbaum]

Here is something silly I mostly made for personal use while fooling around with the system initializer.
An extra large 24 segment ring world that spawns near the sol system, with a small anomaly/event associated with it that unlocks ruined buildings found on the ring to be upgradeable to fallen empire buildings.

Fascinating. So if you add more segments, the game automatically makes the ring bigger? I was wondering if the size 12 baseline ringworld was hardcoded.

 

[Omelie]

More segments further out and at 15 degree changes... I've done the same thing but didn't make the whole thing habitable

Cool. Is the system always named Wiertham?

Cool. Is the system always named Wiertham?

A cursory examination of the file indicates this is not the case.

 

[newageofpower]

Hmm. Some ideas that I have yet to successfully implement in my experiments:

Is it possible to have 2 sets of ringworlds orbiting the same star?

What about a ringworld (set as moon, obv) orbiting another object in the system? I've been doing "binary" systems, lately.

Still playing around with this thing in my free time and it kinda bloated while tinkering around.

Still not really done, need to add a proper anomaly event chain and finish my system guardian fallen empire ship.

More noodling on my little fallen empire custom ship, slowly taking shape.

 

[Bitterbaum]

Got somewhat sidetracked because of my job, back to noodling fallen empire ships...

 

[Rain Envy]

What software do you use to noodle?

 

[Bitterbaum]

Mostly Zbrush and then Modo for cleanup of the lowpoly model.

 

[Bitterbaum]

Coming along, have to consider how to texture it, will probably make 3 sets, matching the existing fallen empire colors and maybe a fourth custom one.

 

[Bitterbaum]

Ok, modeling and sculpting done I think, have already a lowres mesh ready to transfer the detail, onwards to painting!

 

[HFY]

That's a nice sword.
