Title: pak32.box [wip]
Post by: Nazalassa on October 12, 2024, 10:02:40 AM
A pakset I am making. With color boxes. Currently contains nothing more than color boxes and factories that exchange colorboxes.

Wait, is this really a pakset? It does not even have a proper description!

Here is a small pakset I am making as an experiment with factory chains. Some factories produce color boxes, some consume color boxes to produce boxes of another color, and some consume color boxes. The thing is, some factories convert e.g green and red boxes into yellow boxes, and some convert e.g yellow and magenta boxes into red boxes, so there can be extra-long chains. Also boxes are cool, they look like colored snakes.

Here is a (rather overcrowded) preview: (there's still a lot of pak48.bitlit material in it)

If you want to play with it, version α1 is available here, though it is not quite playable (especially since it lacks tunnels, signals, and profitability).

SOmeone did this for pak64, factories as color boxes, several years back.

I must admid, on my laptop, pak64 is already only usable in its highest magnification. Any smaller paksize gives tiny tiles ...

At first I wanted to try a pak48, but it was impossible to specify that the boxes each take exactly one third of a tile.

I am considering upgrading this pakset to pak64-size because that would allow for more details. So far I have made the boxes.
Of course squares are dull. So I made them hexagons. (Hexagons are great.)

Hexagons are the bestagons. :)
