Entry #1

-ROBO LAB-

Planning and Ideas

Robo Lab Basic idea’s 

• Managing a robotics lab 

• Build rooms 
• Build robots  

• Upgrade rooms and robots 
• Overcome catastrophise 
• Choose to build cheap robots or expensive and advanced robots  
• Get contracts to make several specific robots in exchange for resources 

• Manage resources  

• Don’t run out of basic resources (eg. supplies/power) 
• Gain advanced resources through special rooms and/ or contract payments 
• Advanced resources used to build more advanced robots and rooms 

• Phases  

• Phase 1 

• Player builds basic bots and basic rooms with basic resources  
• Contracts don’t pay much but off small amounts of advanced resources 
• Catastrophise less likely to happen 

• Phase 2  

• Player has built at least 1 or 2 advanced rooms 

• Contracts pay more but require more 
• Catastrophise are likely to happen but are easy to deal with 

• Phase 3  

• Player has a bunch of advanced rooms and robots 
• Contracts are crazy {somehow} 

• Catastrophise happen and are hard to deal with 

Room ideas: 

• Office 
• Power generator 
• Storage 

• Server rooms 
• Factory (for creating robots) 
• Test rooms 
• Research lab (maybe done by advanced AI) 
• Marketing facility (allows contracts) 

• Mineral refiner (resource units) 
• Weapons facility 
• Environmental health center 

Robot ideas: 

• Repair robot 
• Cleaner 
• Defense robot 
• Workers 
• Science robot (for research new technology) 

• Manufacturing robots 
• Emergency service robots (for fires etc.) 
• Engineer robots (more advanced workers) 
• War bot  
• Atmosphere cleaners bots 

• Animal welfare bots  

Contracts: 

• Military (requesting warbots, Defense bots etc.) 
• Advanced IT  
• Environmental (Cleaner robots, Animal protection ect.) 

• Police 

Resources: 

Main resources 

• Power  
• Money 

• Research points ( earn them from everything, used to research things. Receive more as you advance, but research costs more ) 
• Recourse units 

For building 

• Metal 
• Plastic 

• Computer/robot components 

Balance between morality 

• Siding with military, causes more protests and activists etc. But they generate more money 
• Siding with environmental side generates less money, but gives a better reputation (less likely to suffer catastrophe) 

Catastrophe types 

• Natural disasters (standard) 
• Protestors/Rivals(Based on morality)
