Excuse me for my english, guys. Isn't my first language. :(
Well basically, you know how all these new games have houses and farms kind of stuff to get money/special resourses and other things? Well, why not to make a farm system in the Spiral Knights? But since it's more machinery themed world, let's turn farms into mini-factories or something of this sort? Just like arcade levels, the factories can be charged by minerals gathered from below the surface. The factories could make energy (maybe not a lot, but still) or CE, or also maybe some materials that are needed for crafting some of the weapons/armors.
Well, that's my idea basically. Thanks for reading. :3
Well the idea is pretty popular in many games, but honestly, I dont think its needed currently in Sk. I think we should focus more on Guilds before we start adding more complicated systems.
