MoonBase Tycoon

Petewa · April 1, 2016

This is one of my oldest, and most constantly growing MOCs, and I figured it was time to share it with you guys, but, considering that this MOC is a game, why just show it to you guys when you could play it?

So here's the story: You own a large segment of land on the moon, and you plan to build a city on the moon. You have a limited amount of resources, and depending on what you build, you will gain different resources in addition to the standard.

Here is your land:

At this point, turn one, you have the standard five gray bricks per turn, supplied by suppliers, as well as one brown brick and one black brick.

Level one buildings that can be built:

Small mine(collects two red and two brown bricks per turn): Five gray bricks and one brown brick

Mining drone(collects three blue bricks per turn): Two brown bricks, two red bricks, three black bricks, and four gray bricks

Events at this point:

There is a legend that if you plant a black brick into the ground on the soil of the moon, then it will grow into a tree of black bricks, if it fails then you won't have any black bricks, but if it succeeds, you will have a near infinite source of black bricks, which are vital for construction.

I assure you, as soon as level one buildings are built, you get access to level two buildings...

...Level two buildings are cooler.

So, do we say where to put the stuff, like 'put a small mine in the west corner' or just 'put up a small mine'?

Anyway, I say put up a mine, I suppose anywhere works.

What can I do with a red brick?

If anything I do something with the red brick.

Petewa · April 2, 2016

You unlock DISGUISE, an effect which gives all in game minifigures that mustache and glasses disguise, but as this is microbuild, there are no minifigures, red brick refunded.

The only real options at this point are to try planting a black brick tree or ~~to blow up the mine and cancel operations~~ actually, there isn't another option.

Events at this point:

-SMALL MINE has gone into disrepair, it can no longer be used!

-GENERIC COMPANY A wants to rent property on your moon land in order to build their corporate offices, this would cost four gray bricks!

Sudden New Rule

You may build three things per turn now that you've reached level two, assuming you have the supplies to build all three.

I want to build the SCIENCE building and one set of low-tech solar panels.

Also I think GENERIC COMPANY B can build their vending machines, although I'm not sure what they are doing with vending machines on the moon.
