Table of Contents
Objects found on the maps in Creeper World 1 can be divided into 4 category's.
Weapons
Weapons are what you use to destroy the creeper. There are 5 different weapons:
Structures
Structures are your economy buildings, ammunition and weapons will not make themselves and packets will not teleport to target destinations. Therefore you must build out a network to connect weapons and collect energy.
| Structure | Cost | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Collector | 10 | Energy creation 0.18 Network connection 5 |
| Relay | 20 | Network connection 5 Relay-Relay connection 11 |
| Storage | 20 | Increases storage 20 |
| Speed | 35 | Increases speed by 0.5 squares/frame |
| Reactor | 40 | Energy creation 0.3 |
Collector
Collector is the most basic element of your network, it serves both as energy producing building and can make connections with all other structures and weapons.
Cost: 10 packets/9 after upgrade
Network connections: A collector can connect to any structure or weapon within 5 squares of it for vertical and horizontal lines or ~5,8 for diagonal connections( for example 5 squares horizontal and 3 squares vertical from it), the maximal connection range is <6 so while still in air a bit longer connection is possible.
Energy collection: A collector can make up to 0.18 energy each. Each green square 0.004 energy, a collector can up to cover 45 squares. Collectors placed under 45 degrees will overlap 7 squares. Collectors placed with an offset of 5 by 3(maximum connection range) will only overlap 6 squares. Placed in a horizontal or vertical line they overlap 10 squares.
Relay
Relays are used for long range connections. A relay can connect to all weapons and structures in the same way as collector however a connection with another relay can be up to 11 squares in a horizontal or vertical line or 11,7 in a diagonal line (11 horizontal and 4 vertical squares).
Cost: 20 packets/18 after upgrade
Storage
Each Storage adds 20 to players maximum energy storage.
Cost: 20 packets/18 after upgrade
Speed
Each speed node increases the speed at which packets travel along the network.
Packet speed is calculated from the following formula speed= 2 + s/2 where s is the number of speed nodes in the network. Therefore, each speed node will increase the speed of the packets by 0.5 squares/frame.
Cost: 35 packets/31 after upgrade
Reactor
Reactor generates energy. Each building produces 0.3 energy.
Cost: 40 packets/36 after upgrade
Other
Odin City
Odin City is the mankind's last refuge. It houses the 50,000 humans left in the universe. It travels from world to world only staying long enough to activate the totems to go to the next world. You are in control of Odin City against The Creeper. From Odin City packets and ammunition go to what is being built, or weapons on the front lines. This is the only source of packets, so no network detached from Odin City can survive on it's own. The maximal packet production rate is 32 per second. Having more energy production than 32 is pointless as Odin City cannot use the excess energy.
Odin City optimally will project coverage over 69 squares. It also has two reactors at its heart which produce 0.6 when it is on the ground. This is why you start the game with 0.8 energy production (0.6 plus the area projected).
Totem
Totems are used to open the rift between worlds. Connecting and powering all totems on the map is a requirement to win. It takes 10 packets to power a totem.
Artifact
Artifacts are old relics laying around on some worlds. Picking up an artifact results with a message set by the mapmaker. Collecting all artifacts is required to win a map. Artifacts are not destroyed by the creeper.
Survival Pod
Survival Pods are vulnerable to the creeper and need to be picked up before they come in contact with the creeper. Failing to rescue any survivors results in immediate loss. Collecting all artifacts is required to win a map.
Upgrade Points
Therese contain nanobots which can be used to upgrade player structures. Each collected upgrade point allows for one upgrade. Collecting upgrades are not required to win a map. Upgrades are not destroyed by the creeper.
| Green(Economy) upgrades | Red(Military) upgrades |
|---|---|
| Produce 10% more energy | Increase fire range by 20% |
| Everything costs 10% less to build | Increase fire rate by 15% |
| Build things 20% faster | Increase move speed by 30% |
Nano Schematics
Picking up a schematic allows the player to construct the corresponding unit. Collecting all schematics is required to win a map. Nano schematic are not destroyed by the creeper.
