how will resources be gathered?
« on: December 05, 2013, 11:16:56 am »

 I need to know is how they will be gathered - start with a pick and work up to having a giant rig of some sort or, some sort or RTS style automated gathering machine?
Also how the resources will be distributed on the planet? will they be in RL places eg, diamonds in South Africa, Gold in the mountains of the Americas ect, or will all resources will equally distributed everywhere on the planet

Nice question there ! ... a real distribution pattern would be a nice thing indeed and give the player the more of a reason to travel the entire Earth.

Well if real life is an indicator we all won't be traveling across the globe for these things. We will have to setup a global trade Initiative so I can trade 400 of my diamonds for a years worth of milk from farms in another part of the world.

 ... sorry, havent mentioned that i meant it for the Antenworld storyline.  ::)  ... doe, local resources based economics will be nice for other applications too ... maybe making the datasheet kind of a modifiable data-file. So we could speculate whyte it too ....  of course i will then try :

I don't know if Anteworld will include resource gathering, but in other games people probably could just make entities (trees, rocks, logs, etc.) that spawn and have a weapon (hatchets, pickaxes, drills, etc.) that can gather specific resources.
