    (I have been adding to this idea for weeks now, I see now a lot of ideas for new game modes, but I feel this stands out)

    The Mining Dead - Sandbox Mode

    Sandbox mode would give a better gameplay experience to players that want to follow a the tv series (as it is now) and where the comics are at. This would allow them to find the following:

    Wall segments - blocks that when placed depending on the direction the player is facing will put down a small wall, that when used with others can block off areas

    Gardens - these blocks can be placed down anywhere, letting you to grow crops within your walled in area (you have to find seeds yourself)

    (Possibly other buildings like Shacks, Towers, etc)

    These blocks would be found at random locations, but would be very rare items, that of which could be found in chests, rare crates or above.

    This game mode would also allow you to edit the terrain (within limits like no block pillars, however if I made the game you couldn’t dig the ground)

    Maybe have a way to take down trees, and maybe depending on the amount of trees you take down is the amount or level the wall you place down is. I’m thinking along the lines of Wasted from the same network that brought us MineZ.

    (Also instead of actually breaking the tree you could right click and it would come down)

    HORSES not cars, idk why but I was never really a fan of the cars, if we can put in bikes that would be ok but I feel horses would be the main way of going from place to place.

    Custom map.

    I feel if we had a separate map it would bring a whole knew aspect to the game/server, maybe it could be based off FTWD. But one with many towns / areas that would be great for base building with what I have listed above.

    Weapons.

    Bullets should be very rare, so people will have to resort to other types of weapons (bows, crossbows, melee). However guns can be a bit less rare, and with special crafting recipes people can make bullets.

    Whenever I get chances I will try to think of other things to add on, but this is a bases for now. I understand a lot of time and energy would go into. I also know that the network is now only focusing on The Mining Dead (other than Star Wars). And maybe with this somewhat freed up time can go into other game modes. Please tell me in the comments what you think, what should change, or what should be added, I would love to know your thoughts and opinions.

    This is a great idea. Not too much wrong with it. It's simple, realistic, and has a lot of potential. I think, personally this wouldn't be a very combative experience, especially with the building and other aspects, that it would be mainly catered to Roleplayers, for more interchangeable and more dynamic maps. Though, combat would also be interesting to see. Perhaps in this gamemode there would be harder to treat wounds, for example blood loss, that could be treated temporarily with a tourniquet, and treated more with a bandage. It would take longer for a player to use, and harder for them to treat during combat, adding more things to keep an eye out while fighting. Other than that, perhaps make dehydration more prominent, and inventory spaces limited, or better yet, as I suggested in a gamemode idea, made guns, weapons, etc, take up more than one space, for example, the AK47 would take up a 4x2 space inside your inventory, or bag, and bags should either extend inventory spaces, or be attached space for the inventory. My next idea for this, is for weight to play a part. A full bag, no matter what is inside, would give slowness. Armour, that is armored, like juggernaut, military, and riot gear, should also give slowness interchangeably. I'm focusing more on combat gameplay and realistic ideals, but I think it would be safer to stay with the current system, for the sake of not abusing and overworking the developers.
    But yeah, an idea is an idea, and should be within reasonable boundaries. Nonetheless, server focus will delay this idea if it is to even be thought of added.

    This is an idea we have had for a very long time even before the days of map maker. As most know we are focusing on Prime Game Modes at the moment and I have brought up a sandbox game mode with the owners and all we can really say at this moment is maybe one day. It is a great idea we have given a ton of thought into how it would be presented to the community and we wanted to make it a fallout themed type of gamemode where you can build bases by collecting building materials and essentially grow your own community while at the same time keeping the TWD gameplay with going onto parts of the map to complete quest and do either pvp or non pvp challenges. Over all yes this is a great idea and something we wanted to do for a while so we will just have to wait and see and hopefully we can find a way to make this new gamemode an addition to map maker later on in the future.

    If this did happen It would be awesome. Its awesome to think that it has been an idea for a while. If you all decide to do this, it will be a success.

    I would love to see this. So many realism features! I'd be on it all the time if it was added :D
    Also, is it PvP or non? We could make two servers if we want PvP and pve

    It should be all pvp and there should be base ra8ding like "rust" and dayz combined.

    Mm. This Game mode would add a lot of realism, so I think there should be
    TMDS-1 [PvP]
    TMDS-2 [PvE]
    Some people, like me, would like to fight or roleplay in a mode like this. That's what I think. I know some people who might like role-playing realism

    Yes but if theirs 2 then it takes the players and splits them so one of the servers will be more dead

    You're kind of missing my point (no offense). What I'm saying is that with a new refocus on the server and a new Gamemode, it would bring in more players, and if it did split the community, we'd have enough of a player base to go around.

    No i understand what you mean but lets be honest look at tmd-1 now compared to tmdc when they added tmdc tmd-1 died

    Oh. Ok nevermind the most of the previous message. :rolleyes:
    Anyway, about TMDC and TMD-1, I thought I saw something about TMDC being moved to the first server spot on the TMD menu? When did that happen? That may not seem like it made a lot of sense to this thread, but here's why:
    Someone (idk who) said that TMDC had been moved and is now the first Game mode in the list. They also said (was it yove? I think it was yove) they got a 100 player kill streak. I'll have to check this out soon, because I was at OSR (Owassippe Scout Reservation) all week. Dont blame me for what I don't know! ;)
