Ape Apps

Use Inkscape. It's a free svg editor, and there's lots of resources (build tiles, etc) on these forums to use with Inkscape

Actually, here's an idea from a LONG TIME AGO: https://www.ape-apps.com/viewpage.php?p=1137
Scroll to bottom of that post and use rovers for cars

Or you could build a little parking area out of walls w/space in between and park 'em all

colbya said:buildings are already up-gradable
the 26 house can upgrade to the high rise 1100 house .
even though the idea of adding floors sounds neat the way the game is programmed every time you addded a floor the building would rebuild .

I understand your point Colbya, but with the "building up" my idea was to try and find a way to add to the building without completely rebuilding it.

Hey guys!! DolphinPride138 is back!!!!! To mark my return, I have not one, but TWO new ideas!!

Building Up, Not Out
1. Office Building
A building that can be grown upwards, so you aren't constantly growing outwards. A lot of today's cities and buildings are growing up instead of out. So why aren't the colonies' cities and buildings growing out?
Needs:
70 power
3x3 size
-8500 ore
-5000 steel
-3000 gold
-1250 microchips
^Builds foundation and first floor

Each additional floor needs:
-5000 ore
-2500 steel
-1000 gold
-500 microchips

When you build another floor, it can be:
●Residential - 200 housing
●Economical - (happiness x 10) cash, 10K ticks [ex. Happiness 87%, you get 870 cash]
●Government - 10 cash > 1000 civics, 100K ticks
●Storage - 1K storage for ore, steel, and gold

》《 》《 》《 》《 》《

Freezin' in the Summer
2. Compact Freezer Warehouse
A building for compactly freezing food for storage.
Needs:
70 power
4x4 size
-2500 ore
-15K steel
-2000 gold
-1000 microchips
-10K aluminum

Stores:
50K food
20K fish

》《 》《 》《 》《 》《

Tell me your thoughts! I am open to making changes as needed!

I thought about some new buildings. I will update with .svg's soon.

From one of my suggestions:

DolphinPride138 said:Just thinking about it, I came up with an idea that puts Natural Disasters and Heat together, with some additional ideas of my own.

Atmospheric Thermostat and Regulator
Details
2x2
5 workers
Records and regulates heat in atmosphere

Needs
-15K ore
-10K steel
-5K gold
——————————
Meteorology Institute

Converts heat into energy
Generates 1000 energy

Needs
-10K ore
-5K steel

——————————
Thermal Energy Storage Facility
Details
4x4
100 workers
Stores 10000 heat

Needs
-10K ore
-10K steel
-2K gold
——————————
Atmospheric Level Control Station (Suggested by @Zelfin )
Details
2x2
15 workers
Player inputs atmospheric range (Ex. 15M to 20M atmosphere), this keeps atmosphere in said range by
raising/lowering atmosphere by 5 atm/tick

Needs
-10K ore
-5K steel
-500 gold
~Requires Climate Science Theory tech

Also, make it less like "explosions" and remove the atmosphere reqs.
Maybe add tornadoes, acid rain, hurricanes, sandstorms, fire storms (with my heat idea), etc.
