Banished Mod Requests

[tg08096]

So it's nice to see a Banished section on the Nexus, even if it is desolate and remote region of the internets. As of this writing, there is a total of one(1) other post in all of the Banished forums. This thread is here in the hope that Banished will grow in popularity, and eventually see some awesome mods in addition to the "more" mods. That being said, there is no mod requests section for Banished, so this thread may take it's place until (hopefully) such time that it is appropriate.

 

Without further ado, here are some requests :D

 

Craft Beer - Ale made with dynamic combinations of ingredients and trade for a higher or lower price, depending on complexity. Make porters, IPAs, and malt liquor if you want to.

 

Ale Crops - New crop types relating to beer - various hops, grains, and other such jazz. Also happiness benefit goes away or diminishes with lack of variety (possible seperate mod)

 

Dynamic Economy - What you trade to the traders loses value on subsequent visits, while resources that you don't trade increase in value. For example, on my most recent map, I have buttloads of mutton, venison, warm coats, and --- you guessed it - ale. So that's all the traders get, but it's a little unbalanced and a little exploitey. Goods that are spam traded should lose their trading value over time because of supply and demand. Also provides more challenge.

 

New Building - Guildmaster - The guildmaster is a building with a radius of effect and what it does is it can increase the productivity of workers while they are working within the radius of the Guildmaster. The building requires a worker - a guildmaster, and has a few choices of "production." They can cause workers to move faster, carry more, or idle less. Building three of them together would allow for all three simultaneously.

 

Dynamic Radii - The radius of buildings that have radii increases as you add additional workers to the buildings.

 

Coffee Crops - Increases happiness but decreases health

 

Opium - Grow poppy fields that produce opium, which can be traded to certain traders for a high price but is also somewhat consumed by the population, which decreases happiness, health, and adds an occasional death (like dying during childbirth) caused by overdose or violence. Of course, if your trader can manage to get the goods to the trading post before the population can get their hands on it, you won't have the negatives. You could of course do variations on this like MJ causes more happiness but decreases productivity, and crack rocks can cause an outbreak of disease. Sky's the limit.

 

Flowers - This is a 3d modeler's project, but flower beds are basically crops that aren't food. They have the opposite effect of eyesores, increase happiness, and are for purely asthetic/sandbox purposes.

 

Restaurants - Restaurants take 2 or more food ingredients and create a dish for people to eat. Each new food item works like all other food. It increases the number of different "types" of food, which is good for health or happiness. It sells for more to traders that accept food. This is mostly a sandbox type mod.

 

House of Ill Repute - Some people might not like this one, but prostitution has been around since about the time currency was invented. It was also bigger in places where conditions were tough and survival was difficult. This is a realism mod. The effect of this building could be increases happiness but decreases productivity. Could also stunt population growth (less baby making within households. If the husband's out whoring, he's not home making babies) but increase happiness. Or increase happiness in male citizens but decrease happiness of female citizens. Maybe occasionally cause outbreaks of the clap or other STDs requiring a visit to the physician. If both male and female citizen take advantage of the services, then obviously some of the above wouldn't be appropriate.

 

I know I have more but I've said enough. If you're taking a stab at modding Banished, maybe you want to try your hand at one of these? Thanks for reading and please add your own requests to the list!
