Hey alexx you should add blue print lvls, like you have done, the 3000HP engine should be the level 1 blue print, and engine of 5000HP should be the level 2 and one of 8000-10000HP should be the max level blue print, then you need to do it to the blue print radiator too, something to speed up the diggin speed could be a good thing, a laser drill to drill the 4 directions can be a good thing too, if it uses a well part of the fuel, elevates the temperatute and uses more the engine could be cool, and an nuclear reactor that can uses any radioactive material to generate power, and one thing, if we can decide if we will use the radioactive material as energy or if we want to stock it, a button to use the radioactive materials in the cargo as a "Reserved energy" to use in difficulty times. etc...

Please everybody say new ideas as we can discuss with Alexx wich thing can be added in game and discuss the realistic level of them, etc ...

Thanks in advance, and i love the MLU !

Thanx for the suggestions.  
First, you dont actually need an engine more powerful than 3000HP. You can make it to the deepest depths with it. Of course i could've extended it from 1500HP (or whatever the 7th engine is) to 2000, then 2500, then 3000, but that would make just too many engines. Of course the most usefull thing could be a large fuel tank. But that would make the game too easy i think. Once you through the first 5000ft, you are ready to take more serious challenges, i suppose.
As the game goes deeper you no longer have to care about upgrades, but how to go through all the lava, magma, rocks, all the dangerous stuff.
There is something like a laser at the end of the game, though i could do that laser thing u r asking for. But i think its just fun to dig.  

And there is a nuclear reactor that uses rad. minerals for energy (there are actually two of them). When you install it it automatically converts them to energy. I could make a feature called "radioactive mineral processor" that you can turn on/off when u wanna process those minerals or not. As for me, i never take rad. minerals for profit. Only when i have a nuc. reactor so that I can get energy from them.

is there only the Hull, radiator, engine, fuel tank, biggest cargo hold? i just spent 2 hours looking for a better rad protection and battery and drill, so if i just wasted my time i feel sad

Thats for you to find out.  ;) Good luck, thats all I got to say.

There is no super battery or super drill. Only 5 "secret" upgrades.

You just posted the same thing twice.

Though I agree with you on both ideas.

thats the fun of it. You dont know what you are searching for. If u r that desperate you can ask around...

Do this work with PS3?
Maby some day you can make it capable with it?
I dont get one before Xmas.
Have someone already tested it?

Which operating system does PS3 use?
If it used Winows (and it will NEVER do this), it would be very easy, but MLU isn't capable with everything (we all know...)!

how about a dark factor. the deeper you go the darker it gets. you would need to buy and/or upgrade a flashlight-like device. the better the flashlight, the bigger area you can see around your pod and the longer it lasts

Good one. Although make it rings of light on the pod, upgrading the strength of the light. It would be good for MLU2.

yes. it could look somthing like this:

but with a motherload twist to it of course!

From which game is this?
Would be a nice idea!

it is from a game called miner dig deep (a community game on the xbox live marketplace). the only way to see minerals and dangers is to use your light. the other squares of dirt could hold anything, you dont know untill your light shines on it


i was also thinking you could make certain minerlas emit bright light. you would then have to choose - do i mine it to get money or do i leave it so i can see more easily

Would've been a good idea for MLU1 since its much deeper than MLU2

yes i agree. how about the next motherload unlimited game taking place on a dark planet, where it is allways night. this way the flashlight and glowing minerals could be used well

It is unlikely that "the next motherload unlimited game" will be made...
