Hi all so if i take this from the start i was just testing my self and see what i can do it ended with a success or what u can say. Anyways so what i did was i made my own sandbox tycoon totally from scratch. And i made my own dropper system since u know when just blocks gets out from no where that’s kinda boring so i made my own its a test machine.
I will for sure change it to build something else it can be anything.

But my point of this is just that as i said i only tested my self but now when i have come this far i was thinking on making it to a game.

There is just a issue that i cant get through so basicly i cant seem to find or think of a theme for the game it self like i don’t want anything that’s unnecessary or something that already exists what i do want is a game theme that’s new and unique.

Any ideas or something that u know that would be new or unique, would for sure help me out

For those who want to see what i have or what i mean by everything videos is down below

(Not everything)

Here is the progress on the custom dropper (and no it doesn’t need to be a cube it can be anything the cube is there just for test)

How about a mars base tycoon? You build a colony on mars, use drills (droppers) to mine ores which then get refined and you can use these to build things like oxygen gardens or crew quarters.

So about that one since i like the building machine how would i do that to the drills?

It can get a little complicated, you’d need to clone the drill model from storage when player requests placement. Additionally, if you want to give player a preview, you need to clone the model and make it transparent.

Yes ik i alredy have that it like the placement is done its just that how would i do the dropper drill like video 1 (Doesnt need to be a cube)
