Buy another banner?

[Meanie]

As of now monsters spawn 75 block from your banner. Therefor you cannot build far away. I've seen multiple people in other threads have this problem, entire barracks just vanish because a monster spawned inside. A simple solution to this would be the option to buy another banner from the shop. Should be in the 400-1000 gold coin range because it should be quite end game-esque.

400-1000 is so easy to get xD
But I fullheartedly agree, Devs have however told (if you look at the roadmap) that they will be adding "mini flags" / "beacons" to extend the safe area.

That sounds awsome.

I ran into the same problem, but you can spawn in a new banner with '/loot banner' as long as youve turned cheats on ('/cheats on')

Huh, didn't know that. Thanks

Do the zombies attack the new banners?

Until the developers implement the village expansion mechanics that they have planned, you can pretty easily add extra banners for purchase. All you need to do is edit the crafting.json file in the gamedata folder with a simple text editor. (Works as of version 0.3.0)

Simply add the following snippet to the end of the file. (before the last square bracket and with a comma after the previous entry)

	{
		"results":[{"type":"banner"}],
		"requires":[{"type":"goldcoin","amount":1000}]
	}

This allows you to "craft" an extra banner for 1000 gold coins (essentially purchasing it). You can change the amount to whatever you want, but I personally find 1000 to be pretty balanced.

You may also want to edit the types.json file in order to increase the stack size so you don't have to pull out the coins 400 at a time to craft the banner. Simply find the following entry and change '400' to whatever you want, I just use 1000 so I can easily pull out exactly what I need for a new banner.

	"goldcoin" : {
		"maxStackSize" : 400,
		"icon" : "goldcoin.png",
		"isPlaceable" : false
	}

In previous versions, I was able to add it to the store rather than the crafting menu. However, that appears to no longer be possible. (There used to be a shop.json file, or something named similarly, which contained all shop items and their prices)

Hey man thanks for the crafting code. Ive notice that the banners NEED to hitable by zombies to be active but you spawn at a set flag and its not the nearest or original

Here's some code that I got to work (sadly the original on this page doesn't anymore). This works in the current version and uses the same positioning of the code in the crafting document.

 {	
		"name" : "pipliz.player.banner",
		"requires" : [{"amount":1000,"type":"goldcoin"}],
		"results" : [{"type":"banner"}]
	}

Why not try Colony Survival 0.7.0 beta With Multiple Colonies, Multiple Players, with Multiple Banners behind research:

Okay well I would recommend going into the beta (messing with code is risky) but I managed to both get the banner into the shop block and make it to where you get it back upon removal. I will not post it here unless people really want it (because I kind of want to discourage modifying game code). Again, I will release code if many people want it but if you really want to add it, I recommend looking into the game's code yourself (don't touch it until you understand it) and to add it yourself. I can add a screenshot of it in the shop as proof but I can't stress enough...

MODIFY CODE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
