    Story time. I had recently moved to a new town. I deicded to check out the local restaurant. Expecting little but hoping for the best I ordered a hamburger. I took one bite into it and realized that it was sadly under-cooked. Enough metaphor, let’s get to the review. Look: It’s kinda like tube-electric. Except it’s much lower quality. It has thankfully, all of the basic tiles. It has something that cought me way off gaurd. A textured background. Made in paint. And it looks great. Only two animating tiles, but that’s lot more than some tilesets out there. Water is included, but looks out of place in an industrial tileset. Overall: The tileset looks…paintish, but dosen’t look flat thankfully. Some out of place tiles. Nice BG. Ease to use: Sort of easy to use. Some of the tiles can look like others, so you may use the wrong tile in places and spend a minute or two trying to figure out why it looks that way. The invisible block isn’t invisibile D=. It can only be used when in a certain background. Some tiles…I just how no idea what they are. Overall: Sort of easy to use. Diversity: Hmm, it’s bascially…industrial. Red based with grey ness or grey based with red ness. Dosen’t get more different than that. Overall: Not very diverse.

    FINAL NOTES: Technos had a good first impression, but when you got down to the details it dosen’t preform well. 6.5

    OTHER NOTES: In case some people are wondering, the Diversity category has very little affect on the overall rating. A diverse tileset would be something like Top Secret, in which I’ve been able to make space bases, underground facilities, fleets of ships…it goes on.

    Argh! This is the second time in the last ten minutes I put a 1.24 tileset in my 1.23 folder without knowing it was a 1.24 tileset…

    But anyway, ‘Technos’ is as tacky and generic as it’s name is. It has two types of ground. A brick ground, that is just a pure gradient, no texture. Tip next time- add textures to your blocks. There is also a very plain grey ground, that has edges that grow lighter (I generally find it is smart to make it grow ligher as it gets farther into the block). Both types of ground can have holes in it or be cracked to some extent. Oh, and the brick ground can have a yellow-black striped thing on it, that looks OK. There is also two animations that have this glowing, shifting, light thing, and neither look too good. Plus all the arrows, the text sign, and this ugly light thingy are animated. There are spikes, window things, wires (tubelectricky, but not as good), vines (which are chains and look OK), hooks, text signs, sucker tubes, and destruct blocks. There are also there wierd things above the sucker tubes that I have no idea what they are suppost to be. But really, the best thing about this tileset is it’s textured BG.

    A 6.2 from me.[This review has been edited by RSPSS FR]

    Its good for an PaintWork, colors are ok… but eyecandy ? Well, it has some, but not much. It’s Tube Eletric like tileset, but it has bacground, and is “less” colored… In my opinion, 7.2[This review has been edited by JSZ Mateusz]

    Well, it’s supposed, that this tileset hasn’t textured blocks – it’s my first tileset and it was made in paint. I wanted to add some textures to tileset. But i haven’t got much time to play with color pallete. I will try to add them in next tileset, that is comming soon…
