Thread: A proposal that might affect us

Following through with the format TH gave for submitting proposals, I submitted a suggestion for changes in the architect tree. These don't even qualify as "in concept" yet, but might be worth a peek.
Sorry, I don't know how to direct to the specific message, but it is near the end of the thread at this time.

It's a good idea as long as you have the lots which is why people use vendors. They don't take up any lot space.
I like the idea of different structures simply for the sim-city nature the new structures take. Right now players cities have very little personality when it comes to style.
Of course you are right about the vendors. It really doesn't solve the vendor problem (which I listed as one of the "bad" points.) However, it the hope is that it will help alleviate some of the factory problem, and perhaps result in a little more streamlined game performance. The storage sheds store a little more per lot than a factory input hopper, but still less than a factory if you count the factory's output hopper.
And, perhaps, it would give BE's a friendlier interface than having to examine every DNA sample even to identify species.
A little off topic: is anyone else shocked at the size of the DNA? DNA is relatively stable, chemically. Even a liquid nitrogen cryocontainer is smaller than our samples are. An entire cDNA library could fit in something smaller.
