DarthMuffin Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 If I remember correctly, there was a poll at gb.com that suggested "unlimited farming, like in AoM" Are there ne plans for making this mod? Or is it out? P.S.: I really suck at modding, so plz dont reply "try it yourself" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted March 25, 2003 Share Posted March 25, 2003 Personally I think having to farm in a SWGB game should be removed. Maybe Shelters or something should replace food and as for the Trade Federation, they have droids. Droids = no food. Maybe the need for Oil or something..who knows. Having to worry about a farm whilst in the heat of a battle is my top annoying factor in this game. So, yes.. unlimited farming is a must, if farming must be done in SWGB 2.

joesdomain Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I agree with Darth! Limited Farming in GB2 is annoying. I prefer no farming period. But if they do put it in then make it Unlimited Farming. I hate battling it out just to see words appear on my screen. Farms have expired or whatever it is.

AlliedCommander Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I think it should stay in. If you have the carbon (2500) you can store up to 50 (i believe thats the figure) in advance. If the took out them then the aquaharvesters go as well (extremely similair). yeah not too much of a prob. Nerfs/free food sources/aquasharv./trading are sources that limit the farming requirement. I just can't think of an alternative food source after totally removing farms Like growing mildew? Unlimited farming could be possible, if there was an upkeep cost (like 1 carb. a minute or something). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breton Posted March 26, 2003 Share Posted March 26, 2003 I really prefer the AoM style. The farms does cost more there however, but that's only good, or else food would be too easy to get. Also, the farming doesn't go too quickly at the beginning, but you can buy upgrades to make them more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Me neither, but Unlimited farming would be nice, maybe they should last a lot longer but not infinite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pbguy1211 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 maybe there could be an auto-cue type of function that you turn on and off. if you turn it on, your farmers automatically make a new farm when the old one is depleted, and it charges you 50C for it as well.

AlliedCommander Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 good idea pdguy. It's balanced (no infinite resources), but you also don't have to bother with the farms as long as you got enough carbon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pbguy1211 Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 i actually like it the way it is. the point of the S in RTS is STRATEGY. meaning all the microing involved. you should be able to make farms while fighting, even if they run out, where it doesnt make a big difference if they've been sitting there for a bit.

lukeiamyourdad Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 Kinda true. It wouldn't be fun if there wasn't something annoying about the game But anyway, unlimited farming isn't a bad microing-reducing idea, auto-cue is good and keeping it the way it is is also not so bad. It'S back to the all non-melee units attacking air units...it's who's good at microing or who's not. Farming is just as annoying(for me) then having a few fighters shooting on my ass when I don't have AA but I want to keep AA a seperate class. Don't be lazy...just click on the farm button or click your worker and right click on the depleted farm. It's basically the same with AA...
