    Do you think it would be better like this....

    Earth should have "Cities"
    Tropical should have some "Ruins"
    Deserts should maybe have the "Pyramid"

    ????

    Good idea, it would be cool if they have some type of free "primitive" styled looking units or a enemy like the zerg or zombies like from dead space.
    Just inhabitants in general.

    Great idea, personally I think everything should be in ruins because it matches PA's lore.

    How about some ruins in the sea? ;)

    Atlantis:p

    It would be nice it if was like:
    But random might not be so bad either, as long as the structures look really old, decaying and abandoned.

    Soo, question after a month. Have you started developing this mod, are you in the development or are you waiting a bit...
    Only a normal question, don't panic. ( I don't even know if you have time for that!)

    I just noticed something, you are talking about pyramids on multi planets. With the addition of the gates, this is looking even more like stargate. Because pyramids are landing sites right?? lol

    but seriously this would add a lot more to the lore and honestly make the planets more interesting to explore in my opinion. Having a planet be generated because of the seed system you could have a different looking city each time, maybe even a city planet if you get the biome scale and the other settings right. Of course all these buildings would be ruins and abandoned a long time ago.

    would like to see some ruins biome in general. Be it annihilated city scapes or ancient stone ruins. Even if some of the metal planet brushes where to show up on earth planets and the like.

    I like it but buildings (especially houses) need to be way smaller

    If ruins are added they should be giant structures.....Not little houses.
    Also the moon already has ruins.

    Scaling the houses and building will need lots of care to get them big enough to see yet small enough that they don't look over-sized...

    @FXelix
    The "City Mod" development is on hold until game is released,
    I can make the biome mod but no-one can use it, it only shows in the system editor.
    When game is released it should work.

    I still need to texture my building's too, they are still grey-box.
    I use the grey-box models to get the mod built/working, then i will slowly change grey-box models for nicer textured ones.

    Totally think this should be added. its one more option to add variety.

    Having abandon cities, ruins, roads, would be awesome.

    Now assuming that humanity was advanced enough to colonize the galaxy, they made coresant like worlds, (remember star wars) just make the city planets war torn

    That would be awesome. Specially if the building could be destroyable. You got my vote :)

    Regarding the size, I wouldn't be too concerned. PA is a representation, doesn't need to be strictly realistic. Giants stuffs on the surface are indeed very cute, and you want to smash them all.

    Absolutely. Specially if you change the *should* with *could*. Planets looks gorgeous also without. And it would be great to have the possibility to add them at wish.

    On second thought, Pyramids are found also in Tropical jungles, as well as Ruins everywhere on Earth. So perhaps those structures could go a bit everywhere.

    And on third thought, why not placing some structure on the Moon as well, like abandoned Bases, or Underground caves (which in return could grant you double metal income? or some sort of free power?).
