Thread: So, we can fly into space, but nobody has invented a bulldozer

It seems really strange that I can fly from planet to planet on a space craft (sometime maybe one I actually own), but I cannot even out a little piece of dirt in order to place my harvesters. One would think that it should not be that difficult to push over a hill or fill in a ravine. It would be nice if you had to pay more to place a harvester on uneven terrain or over a ditch. Also have it take significantly longer to place the harvesters in these areas, but still, one would think if the technology to destroy an entire planet with a beam weapon existed, somebody would have come up with the idea of making a bulldozer....heck we do not even need that fancy of one...a D-8 Cat would do for the work I generally need.


And another thing....why can I not make camps outside of town and meatlumps, the enemy of the people, can. I think whoever is enforcing my no-build codes needs to visit them and let them know that they are in violation of building policy 274 A and must immediately cease and desist.



Just wondering

Ha ha.



I agree. I tried to place some solar generators on Corellia, took me forever. A 5 foot difference from one end of the generator to the other seemed to prevent it.

Camps will flatten out the ground, but Harvesters will not. Now thats B.S.

Umm, because it's a laser bulldozer, with anti-gravity treads! You have to get super-master artisan to make on.



One of the changes on the test center is allowing people to make camps in no-build zones.

Well see, it's not a technology issue, it's just that most planets have an ordinance against disturbing nature. The thing you can't get past is your uncomprimisingly law-abiding nature.
