RoboLab 2 (Refining Ideas)

Refining Ideas

It seemed important to me to refine everything we thought of initial. What was good? What was bad? and added or removed ideas that wouldn't work in the long run. Everything here is for a fully flushed out completed product which we most likely won't have time to do all of them. If we choose to continue working on it, i believe we should add everything here. I also made some suggestions as to how this will work in code, however these may need to be changed later. 

Classes:  

Rooms

• Room types 

• Basic rooms (Tier 1) 

• Power room (Multiplies the power resource by number of rooms) 
• Mineral refiner (Multiplies the resource unit by number of rooms) 
• Research lab (Allows research of rooms and Emergency service bots and IT assistance bots and several other rooms) 

• Robo Factory (allows basic robots to be built) 

• Advanced  rooms (Tier 2) 

• Marketing Facility (allows contracts and main source of money) 
• Robot Refit centre (Allows robots to be upgraded, Increases efficiency of individual robots) 
• Test rooms(Increases efficiency of bots[Global]) 

• Storage room (increases max number of resources and bots) 
• Office (Allows rooms to be upgraded) 

• Super rooms (Tier 3) 

• Server rooms (Increases efficiency of robots[Global]) 
• Weapons facility (Allows “Warbots/Defensebots” to be made, reduces morality) 

• Environmental health centre (Allows Atmosphere cleaners, and animal welfare robots, increases morality) 

• Build timer 
• IsActive bool (if catastrophe, set to false) 
• IsUpgraded bool  
• Resource multiplier (x1.5 per tier 1 room, for those applicable) 

• Number of rooms?  
• Number of robot slots (IsActive bool?) 

• 2 Defence slots (Upgraded rooms only) 
• 4 Worker slots  
• 1 Reapair slot  

Robots 

• Robot types 

• Basics(Tier 1) 

• Worker bots (put into energy or mineral rooms, multiplies resources) 
• Repair bot (Repairs inactive rooms, lives in storage) 

• Cleaner bot (Only to be sold for small amount of cash) 

• Advanced(Tier 2) 

• Research bot(Can be placed in research facility, increases research speed) 
• Manufacturing bots (can be put in factory, speeds up robot build time) 
• Engineering robots (Advanced worker bot,  x3 resources) 

• Super (Tier 3) 

• Atmosphere cleaner bots (To be sold, increase morality a lot) 
• Animal welfare bots (To be sold, increases morality a little) 
• WarBots (To be sold, decreases morality a lot) 
• Defense bots (can be placed in rooms to prevent or fix “Rival” or “protestor” catastrophe or sold, decreases morality a little) 

• Build timer 
• IsActive bool (if catastrophe, set to false) 
• IsUpgraded bool 
• Efficiency rating (Basic robots + tier 1 rooms = low efficiency) 
• Number of Bots

Contracts  

• Contract types 

• Basic (T1) 

• Contract for worker bots 
• Contract for cleaner bots  

• Contract for repair bots  

• Advanced (T2) 

• Contract for Research bots 
• Contract for engineering bots 
• Contract for Manufacturing bots 

• Super (T3) 

• Contract for Warbots 
• Contract for Defence bots 
• Contract for Animal welfare bot 
• Contract for Atmosphere cleaner bots 

• IsAvailable bool 
• IsAccepted bool 
• IsComplete bool 
• Cash resource source 
• Deadline Timer  

• Morality multiplier (Good/Bad/Neutral) 
• Number of contracts 
• Randomizer?  

Catastrophe 

• Catastrophe types 

• Natural disasters (standard/ Happens regardless) 

• Fire? 
• Flood? 
• Power out? 

• Protestors/Rivals(Based on morality) 

• Intruders 
• Spies 
• Sabotage 
• Lockdown  

• IsActive bool 

• Set rooms “isActive” to false 
• IsResovled bool (repair bots for natural disasters) 
• Randomizer? 

Resources 

• Generate over time via “<span class="SpellingError SCXW263779060 BCX0" <delta.time<="" span="">>span class="TextRun SCXW263779060 BCX0" xml:lang="EN-GB" lang="EN-GB">”</span> 

• Types of resources  

• Resource units 
• Energy credit 
• Research points 
• Money 

• Resource tiers? 
• Resource max cap (Can be increased with storage rooms) 
• Number of resources. 

 Morality 

• Good or bad int/float/array/bool? 
• Relates to contracts 

• Research 

• Research tasks 

• Emergency Service bots (T2) 

• IT assistance bots (T2) 
• Weapon facility (T3) 

• Warbots/Defensebots(T3) 

• Environmental health centre(T3) 

• Atmosphere cleaner bots/animal welfare bots (T3) 

• IsResearched bool 
• Research timer
