As I have been talking with several of the higher level people in GL, Ship bots are something that we all wanted a ton of at first but not we are starting to have Zero to no use for them as we have gotten everything on our ships from the technologies and mission artifacts, in fact so many I now have a surplus of over 500 of them. I keep holding on to them hoping that Dan may release a theory lab item that uses them so maybe they would be useful. Sooooo what about something like this:


Gar's Urbanizer
100 Ship-bots
100 Longevity Serums
100 Containment Missiles
500 Energy

*Upgrade a Target Terra Planet into an "Urban Planet" Increasing Size +2 and all Resources by +1
OR
*Upgrade a Target Terra Planet into an "Urban Planet" Increasing all Stats by +3 but no change to size.

Considering the requirements for this artifact, I think the payoff is more than fair, but then again I could be wrong.

-1 to changing Terras, but change it to Metallics, and +1. They don't have any arts that upgrade them (unlike terras and Gaia seeds). Plus, it would make more sense if it used the planets surface for building materials.

Agreed, Metallics would make more sense, I like it!

maybe metallics, but they do get the dyson transformer, but nice idea anyway

Yeah, but you only get one of those, this would be something for everyone. (Even those that can't drop the dough for the Dyson)

+1 to the metallic as well. This would be a good item to add.

+1 to metallic
not only do u only get 1 dyson sphere... it also works in a way that you want to use on BAD planets.
this would be used on good ones~ so both end of the stick gets a +

Hey I've been wanting to put an idea in here about Dan making something special with the Exotics.

We can already doing something with every other planet but those as far as I know.
Maybe we can use an artifact on an Exotic that increases the size by 2 and ads 1 to resources.

Come one guys jump on the Bandwagon lol

+1 to metallics as well (can you edit the OP grindstone ?)

however, not a fan of the 'urban' title for it - could go cutesy hollywood - 'transformed' or 'machine world' ... but with the longevity and CMs input, i was thinking more 'bunker' planet, ready for the inevitable alien invasion.

edit: also just twigged on the x-men mythos - 'sentinel' planets - might get mixed up with the existing 'sentient' planets, but ...

+1 to metallics. And like the guy before me said, I don't like the name. Maybe another Sci-Fi themed name would be better

a big +1 from me!

How about "sentient" world. Otherwise, the machine world is a good name. If it is intended to be like cybertron, perhaps using artifacts like the nanite swarms instead of the longevity serum would be good as it is less organic.

Well sentient worlds already exist do they not?

aye, from one of the titancore missions. drops something to turn a barren to sentient

So there is... not come across one yet. Shame, that looked like just what the OP was going for lol

I'm all for a semi-repeatable transformation for Metallics, but not Terras. We already have one for that. The thing is, it should be quite a bit more expensive that what is listed in the OP. Ship bots are a little hard to come by at lower ranks, but high ranks have them coming out their ears. In roughly a week of not adding any new mods to my ship, I've already collected over 50. And I know many people that have several hundred if not over a thousand.

+1 to the idea. I'm not too high up in rank but i'm sure once i get there i will be in the same boat that is quoted here. I like the metallic idea as well. This has my vote.

i think this is more likely to be implemented

( insert A joke then +1)

metallic to a :
mercurial ? <like liquid metal>
forged ? <like in a smithy>
alloy ?
steel ? <since a lot of planets are iron>
cybernetic ?
cube ?

altho i know he was joking about exotics, but why not ? they could be upgraded to unique,monolithic, or epic

What about oceanics? 2 artifacts turn planets into oceanic but nothing can change oceanics planet type.
