Hello members of the SWDteam, I really do love wat ur doing with the dalek mod and am looking forward to the release of update 58. But I’m more so looking forward to the release of the War of the worlds mod , and I have some suggestions for possibly future updates (when released) and if u like them plz pass onto Reddash16 or someone working on the mod.
Suggestion#1 The Cylinder
These would fall to earth at night, on the first night the world starts, and look like (when falling) a green piece of fire with black and orange smoke particles behind. They would impact the ground and have an effect not unlike nitro 9, leaving the cylinder model in the crater. After about five mins (real time) it would starts to unscrew, and after another min the Martian and heat ray pop out and start rekkin everything, after 3 minecraft days a Tripod will start to be seen under construction and u can start to hear a hammering effect, after another day, a tripod will advance out of the pit.
Suggestion #2 more variety in Martian machines
This would start happening when your world has been under Martian control for quite some time, then cylinders would start becoming more common, as the Martians bring over more resources from their planet. When this happens, you may also start seeing Martian buildings springing up. After some time you might encounter the ultimate war of the worlds boss fight. The Martian tempest. This has two heat rays and two black dust launchers and has around 700hp, which may be lessened slightly because to me it seems a bit too OP but these are suggestions and R prone to tweaking.
Suggestion#3 wrecked gun carriages and the wreck of the Thunderchild
these would occur in your minecraft world when the first fighting machines emerge from the cylinders. Inside you might find bullets lead balls and guns and I don’t have much else to say.
suggestion#4 Build-a-tripod
Now this is more like the build your own tardis interior, and with this feature, players would be able to create there own tripods, they could mimic a present tripod design or create something new. This would be really handy on the server (if it even gets one) as towns/factions would need something to be recognised by other that a personalised banner.
Plz think these over and plz get back to me on this forum. And may the dalek mod remain immortal! Thank u
Suggestion#5 the Martian pit.
this would be the part from the book where he journalist and curate are trapped in a house. So wat I was thinking is that these would start generating after the fifth cylinder lands in the Minecraft world, and there would be a house that had collapsed into the pit. The house would contain vitals items like FOOD, because by this point food would start becoming scarce because of the red weed. But you would have to be quick because you have about six minutes before the cylinder lid falls off then you are trapped and have to wait about 4/5 Minecraft days before you can escape. Before that can happen you can watch the Martians building stuff (don’t no wot yet) and you can see a handling machine being assembled.
suggestion#6 ruined city structures.
by the time the 6th cylinder begins to fall, ruined city structures would begin generating. These would have some really valuable loot, like food, weapons and ammunition. But to balance this out, they would also be heavily policed by fighting and handling machines. Villagers/ special civilian mobs would live here but would not leave their houses because they R too scared if they did the handling machine would come down upon them and pick them up.
Suggestion#7 handling machine escape chance/ fighting machine looting.
this is something of completely my own ideas. So, say you are walking along, minding ur business, then you suddenly get picked up by a handling machine. You are put in the basket and are taking to another dimension (like when you walk in the tardis), and have an opportunity to escape. You can climb up to the cage and escape that way, or, (I would personally do this way) you can fight your way through the handling machine and capture it. Something similar could be applied to the fighting machine, in that, when you kill one, it spawns in a wrecked fighting machine block (that is immovable) and you can go inside (again like the tardis dimension) and fight your way through this fighting machine, gathering various loot along the way. If this was applied to the wrecked fighting machine block, and you killed all the Martians inside, you could potentially use it a house.
To enlighten a bit more with the Martian buildings, I was thinking something like this:
Suggestion#8 Machine factories.
these would start cropping up in your world after sometime in Martian occupation. You would need these particular buildings to construct your own fighting machine. Sourcing the components is the easy part as you can just kill 2 Martian tripods and take the components. And to counter that the factory would be guarded by two fighting machines and 1 handling machine (to build the tripods). In this way you could potentially build a town around it and use it as a kind of armoury.
And I’m including a picture of all the Martian machines
(Note the tempest is the big one at the back)
I also have a suggestion for the title screen, here it is: (note it would be a pixelated version of the front of the album) with the buttons on the left of the screen and the big logo at the top)
