Two story buildings in plan?

[Naked Troll]

Hi,

It has been 2-3 months since I've played this game (since it was still in Early Access). The deal-breaker for me was the fact that while you can build higher or lower, there is no possible way to build a two-stories building.

I don't think the engine allows multiple tiles on the Z axis, but I am going to ask anyway:

Do devs have any plans to make it possible to create 2-story buildings?

Hi Naked Troll!

2-story buildings is not something that's in the plans for Stranded: Alien Dawn

Two story buildings would be awesome!

Even just like a bridge where you can pass either under or over it... like say, have turrets mounted OVER the main gate...

Why? Why people constantly asking about multistage buildings? It is a nightmare for interface and gameplay.

Are you interested in missing actions as it happens on another floor?
Or maybe you really like constant switching floors to check what is going on?
Check other colony sim games that have this feature. Like Going Medieval. This is curse - not a blessing. It can ruin fun even for the best titles, like Dwarf Fortress.

Even now building interface is far from user friendly. Building roof for additional sections or blocks on different floor highs - is a pain, and sometimes require total removing of what already has been build and starting from scratch. Imagine what it will be with multiple floors?

I am completely agree with developers in this. Multistage buildings will kill joy from a game.

I understand your point of view and I see that we have very different opinions.

I love the multistage feature in Going Medieval, in Dwarf Fortress, in Stonehearth and Timber&Stone. But I see your point and I agree that it may cause confusion and the interface is not as smooth as single-stage games.

Thank you for your answer. In order to not spam the discussion tab, I will ask you another question here.

Do you have in mind to add human raiders?

Not that I'm aware of, but the devs have been notified that it's been brought up by the community.

Personally i hope there wont be any human enemies. Maybe some more types of wild life though.
I don't need another "Us vs them" shooting. Plenty of those out there to satisfy your personal rivalry feelings.

Wll space raiders would be good in the trading outpost scenario, as it would be normal to steal if they have money and goods. And with it we could take prisoners to...

I'd say it depends on the scenario. In the crash landing one, it doesn't really make sense to have the objective of signalling to civilization where you are so you can be rescued, and at the same time have humans coming in to raid.
For the other scenarios, however, it makes a lot more sense.
Anyway... That's just my humble point of view.

On the subject of human raiders, would it be possible to "tame" them? :P
