I've seen a couple people asking what the trees will be. Doku already did those, they're shacks that the surface dwellers who didn't go underground built. Here's a picture of some.
I love the trees! that is just genious! I cannot wait until this comes out.
The reason I hadn't been talking much about the trees is because notch's new trees currently are currently not based on the foliage color file. The file has been changed yet it doesn't seem to affect either of the new trees. I am hoping this will get fixed before I release the pack but if it doesn't The scrap shacks will have to be... scrapped.. at least temporarily..
In my opinion instead of fire, the texture should be changed to electricity. After all, you can't torch a metal scrapshack or a robot for that matter. Flint can be changed in to some kind of electrical component, and flint + steel can be some sort of high powered taser. As for the mobs that burn up in sunlight, perhaps some sort of EMP fries them with electricity.
May not make much sense, but I'm confident you can fit it in to the lore some how.
These little guys were made carry extra ammunition for soldiers during the war. Orbital Industries purchased a great quantity for use on the Hive. While the war is mostly over now, these things (inexpensive and inefficient as they were) can still be found wondering about the wastes. They carry a small propulsion system which is instrumental in making your ranged weapons.

I suspect I will be meeting somewhere in the of cross bow and gun. Not entirely one or the other. I will post more as soon as I have the screens to explain.
What are these replacing, chickens?
Also for the weapon I'd suggest something along the lines of a Monster Hunter "Bowgun". The crossbow acts as the firing pin which then fires as a normal gun would.
I think that they may replace spiders, because the only two things used in making ranged weapons (bows) are string and sticks. Since string comes from spiders, and sticks come from wood, it's likely that these are the spiders.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, chickens do make sense too. The feathers are essential in making arrows, which your bows are useless without. Guess that we'll just wait and see.

I like this a lot. Its likely that it will end up being something along these lines.

ah now ive got a better view of the "paintings" very very cool it gives a really post apocaliptic feeling :wink.gif: keep it up are there more coming? posters for pre war groceries, shops, banks or propaganda like this: http://www.google.nl/imgres?imgurl=http ... CCUQ9QEwAA might be an idea
THE CAKE IS A PIE! THE CAKE IS A PIE!!(ignore the background color it is actually torn off)
I'd like to see the wheat crops as some kind of crystalline mineral that grows in the ground, like the Tiberium from Command and Conquer. You could seed the earth with small crystals and they would grow, assuming they were near some of that contaminated water. The chunks of ore you get from harvesting them could be used to create some kind of medicine. Maybe a little syringe graphic? :smile.gif:
Im back baby! lovin the recent stuff. Cactuses = toxic barrels :smile.gif:, Chickens = ammo robots :smile.gif:, THE CAKE IS A PIE!!!! :biggrin.gif:
had a think about trees wile I was away. mayby just dead ones would be better than dokus original idea for them. oh and heres some pics of what can be done with dokus old pack
This topic outlines how you can change the names of items, so they match up with the texture pack.
Not necessary, but it would help with immersion.
