spaceDJ Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 what if you could make a self replicating robot that could mine fight and travel to other worlds it could take over plants it would be like a plague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you can't make that in DUAL. For pretty obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UniversalG Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Take over plants you say. No, you can't make that in DUAL. For pretty obvious reasons. awww but why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anaximander Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 awww but why not Because, you can't put a factory inside a spaceship and expect that spaceship to be able to take initiave and have tactics and be able to identify where it wants to go. Not in Lua obviously. Making drones and making the Terminators, are two different subjects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceDJ Posted September 3, 2016 Author Share Posted September 3, 2016 if you made a self replicating robot that can get whatever it needs to make itself by itself and it can defend itself then it would just spread like a bacteria and consume everything in its path. it could eat up whole worlds by just gathering resources to build its self. it would attack anything that gets in its whay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lethys Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Van Neumann machines have to be killed and annihilated every time you see them - they would be very bad for obvious reasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFaul Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not in Lua obviously. Well you haven't met the gmod community yet xD And trust me LUA is very power full. Jeronimo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser_Aison -currently gone- Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I would build a van neuman drone far from the center and sent it on a course towards it, would certainly be entertaining watching the whole galaxy burn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindSpunk Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 As cool as this sounds, exponential growth says no. 2 robots, then 4, then 8, then 16 ...4096, 8192. They may be limited by resources but it is still a massive concern that given the right circumstances they could very quickly tank the servers, regardless of their technical claims.

Shynras Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 they can't be a thing just because people would abuse it and create a 1 man army. Automatic harvesting/fighting and similar are viewed as botting in mmo, and are never good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaximander Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 It would make the game interesting It would transform the game from DUAL Universe to Real-Time Strategy Universe. Having drones and operating them in swarms and having self-replicating drones, is another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFaul Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I don't think self replicating drones would be bad if there are restrictions in place to prevent you from abusing them. I have a very particular idea how to mange drones you can read about it here feel free to participate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IffyCougar832 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 As amusing as it would be to sit back with a bag of popcorn and watch the chaos unfold I must say that this is something that should not be in the game, and this is coming from someone who's all for the idea of NPC's running ships, mining, and even building certain things.Maybe a very watered down and less universally destructive version of self-replicating robots... or maybe not...

Limyaael Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 having self replicating robot would make jobs because people would need them to be destroyed There's going to be enough to do just setting up Alioth and the first stargates. In a universe that's bound to be full of factional fighting, why would someone who wants to be a merchant (yo!) want even more enemies to have to avoid aside from pirates and the fleets of empires?
