Oh wow, and there I was thinking my 350 wide planet was huge!
Whoa... time to up my server settings a bit, I guess. Although I haven't experienced any planet lag lately, I guess I still couldn't get rid of that ancient, deeply ingrained fear of planets larger than say r180...
Sorry about the title, I was playing off the title of the "Engine Porn" thread, but in hindsight that may not have been the most SFW idea...Srsly got to have porn in the title?
I once made a deployable planetary barracks. If I find the blueprint on my old laptop i'll probably update it and post it here
Kotor had best lower city setting imoThrowing some WIP screens from a new planet I've started working on. Currently, I see this as a scratch pad to test out some ideas and develop a good aesthetic that captures the essence of the hyper-urbanized planet.
My inspiration is part Coruscant & Mandalore, part Blade Runner, part Minority Report, part Fifth Element, and part Aliens (movies and games).
These shots are very early in the development. I'm working in creative, since my play time is currently quite limited. I'm blocking out the planet organically, working with the full intention to convey that classic trope of a bifurcated society via an upper and lower city.
Please keep in mind this is still very early as a WIP. And things like the public sculpture are experiments to try and create very different atmospheres between the upper and lower cities.
I always was disappointed that the old KotOR and Deus Ex games required loading between the different city zones, effectively making upper and lower cities that felt entirely isolated from each other. My goal here is to build this up enough, at least as a proof of principle, that these two personalties can exist as a game setting seamlessly right on top of each other. I also eventually want to capture the density one would expect (and demand) from such a setting. I'm starting on a smaller planet with the intention of building it up and out, so it feels all the thicker and full of catacombs.
After playing on this scratch pad for a bit, I definitely would be interested in moving this effort onto an appropriate RP friendly server.
I'll try and post updates as things come along.
Probably need to go multi button/multi floor with that. 
Shamelessly advertising my own work: http://starmadedock.net/content/multi-floor-tileable-elevator-template.3376/Also realizing I need to work a functioning rail lift inside as well.
Thanks! Looks incredibly useful and quite a time saver. I love how many fail safes you worked into the system, like the extra rail reverser at the top of the elevator.
I think I can adapt the logic panel to a 6x4 size if you want.
I'll whip up something when I got home tonight. If you want to experiment for yourself a bit: You will need a flip flop controlling a rail speed controller. The rail speed controller has to slave the whole rail that the subway car is going on. You then control the flip flop with activation modules that sit beneath the rails where the stations are (which get activated when the car passes them.)
Very much possible via a wireless logic module. Link all the station activation modules to a wireless logic block that is connected with another one of those on the car. That is your input for the door.
Absolutely. The size of these templates is however limited. You can set the limit for your own singleplayer game, but on a multiplayer server, it might not be the same. But you could divide the copy&paste job into multiple templates.
