Title: Future Cities and buildings
Post by: monmarfori on June 29, 2009, 03:28:44 AM

Just in some far future years the buildings would reach up to 2 km. and cities would be populous.

Exciting. Do you have any pics of how they may look?
Sometimes I make my own. Here's one I'm making in SketchUp right now. It is only 160m tall though. :)

Again, i'm quoting Infinity the quest for Earth

Here there is a thread of 79 pages (more than 1500 replies ;D) about buildings in the game...

Bla,i think that if you scale it on the z axis (maybe +80%) it could look very nice and tall.

I read in National Geographic about a plan to build a tower that turns with solar panels and wind mechanisms. Maybe I can get a picture.

They want to build one of this kind of buildings in Dubai

I have sketch up, i made a dolphin track, you fill it with water and dolphins race in a stadium.
I don't know how to put a picture.

Thanks, but that's too late now. Then the windows will be stretched out along with many other things, and then it wouldn't look good. :)
Then I'd need to remove the windows and start all over again with what is on the picture. :)
But I think it's also best to start out with something that isn't too big. 160m is enough for me in the start. :)

There aren't enough resources for most of that stuff. If there is no money, how will we get people to build the robots?

Firstly people will build robots and than there won't be money any more...

X-Seed 4000 is so big that it would be constructed by robots.
