Energy Shields and Force Fields


Liz Bathory

 

Posted

On the basic worktable, you can create a defence aux item called an ENERGY SHIELD. This can be attached to most turrets, providing +DEF for 1,000 prestige.

However, from the basic defence items menu in the base items list, you can build a FORCE FIELD for 50,000 - but it is not clear what it attaches to.

What is a FORCE FIELD for? What does it attach to? Is it significantly differnet to an ENERGY SHIELD?

Its an item you can place in a room that accepts defence items.

It looks like a griffin / gargoyle and it emits a forcefield that gives extra protection to all sg members in its range. It will also work for the destroyable items underneath it.

So it's a ceiling item? Like an immobile shield generator for people rather than items?

Its an stand item.. a sone gargoryle you place on the floor. just like the damage crystal item is... That one is a stone Dragon.

I placed both in my base simply because these gargoyles are great items to look at for a gothic horror themed base.

So.. They go on the floor. They both have an area of Effect. ones projects a force field for sg members and maybe destroyable artifacts, the other a damaging circle... good for revealing stalkers for instance.

You do realise that the tech one *isn't* a Gargyle, right?

I'll give it a test. I assume, since it's a defence item, it takes up your turret count?

The tech version is a box that sits on the floor with a big bubble round it (the bubble animation is borked, it only works when you first place it) Anything in the bubble is protected, as apposed to an energy shield that you attatch to a turret.

It does take up 1 of your allowed defence slots for the room.

Sounds good for small rooms, I suppose. Thanks!

Just a quick note
If you want the effect to show up again after moving the item at least once, you can do this:

Move the Force Field item into another room that can hold Defence items (now you should see the effect again).
Now move it back into the original room and place it without further repositioning.

This seems to work most of the time but not always.
