Ah I see. I appreciate your lengthy answer as it does help shine some light as to how you go about making the things you make. I guess we will see how the shield idea turns whenever you get around to producing and releasing your character packs. I’m very interested in seeing what kind of weapons you make besides the rifle and baton.
As for the colony, I’ve established my basic layout. It goes into a mountain, which I think is cool. Anyways, I’ve kinda just at a stand still since I would need more assets for the colony. Specifically, corridors, interior stair wells and doors so my colonists don’t have to leave a pressurized cabin in order to traverse to the second level. The doors thing I kinda messed around with by combining two door pieces back to back and inverse one of them. Then I scale the transition pieces to .9 (or 180) so it fits nice and snug with the doors. For now, it works (haven’t attached doors to it, however), but I am sure you could easily make a better version of that when the time comes.
Some other ideas I came up with to go along with the cafeteria would be a serving kitchen area and storage to store the food. I used the double sided window hallways as greenhouses and can fill them up with plants. Basically, the colony pack just needs to be filled in with some stuff, which I know you will get to it eventually. Just sharing my experiences from building with the pack the past week.
