Reposting the truth

>>283407884

For fuck's sake, if you don't like it, don't lick on it.
You can hide threads so do that. No one asks you to come and post that you don't like it.

I'd upload more but I've never used wemb before and they always end up choppy and have huge filezize.
Maybe I'm just using crappy tools.

Speaking of choppy, the game has some real issues with more complex creations.

Here's a simple battering ram.

>>283408045
>oh god what are rules and why should i follow them

You know someone is new when they don't think a general should be on /vg/.
>>>/vg/

is this the single most shilled game ever on /v/?

>>283408268
Depends how you defined 'shilled' since it's not the devs or their PR guy that's been making all these threads.

If you just take 'shilled' to mean 'talked about and loved by users' then, yeah I guess it might be.

>>283408045
Are you fucking retarded? That image is a joke, not a shitpost

What shitpost would have the engine at the end you fuck?

>>283407884
I like besiege threads, but you're totally right about the dinosaur guy

>>283408268
Define "to shill"

Guys pls.

Less arguing more warmachines.

>>283408268
It's just that it's the only good game to be released in 6 months, it's on PC and it's cheap.

so this game is like banjo kazooie nuts and bolts except without any content past making and test driving your vehicles?

>>283408923
>released
It's not even half-completed.

>>283409273
There's levels you have to complete, and a sandbox mode with moving platforms, smashers, grinders, etc to test your stuff.

Plus a lot more content, physics, and ways to build shit than Nuts & Bolts.

>>283409476
And still it's more fun than most released games.

>>283409273
It'a early access and there's 15 levels or so.
It's pretty impressive what you can do in this early version already.
The only real issue are the frameate drops when your machine is too complicated.
It can be solved by slowing down ingame speed though.

I also think that gears don't work as they should, but maybe I just haven't figured it out yet.

In the forums it's been confirmed they will be adding new blocks every 2-3 weeks, and levels every 2-3 months

Phew, and I was scared they'd take the money and run

>>283409893
>I also think that gears don't work as they should, but maybe I just haven't figured it out yet
The problem with gears is that you can't choose the size.

Having gears all the same size is pointless, because the whole point of gears is not to transfer mechanical energy, but to change its quantity.

>>283408045

>so autistic he can't even understand what a joke is

>>283409953
how long will it take til it's finally completed then? a year, a year and a half? (based on the amount of isles, i mean)

can't wait to see the new stuff

>>283409893
>15 levels
You can barely call them levels really. The whole game is really more of a proof of concept rather than an actual game at this point.

>>283410219
I don't know, but it's going to be fun.

One of the planned features is (prepare yourself for the spoiler)

water

>>283410237
That's why it's called Early Access, dumbo

Fucking bullshit lego simulator rather have my real toys thanks

>>283407884
If that was yours, you should make another version with the drone-tard guy who was yelling about not being able to get his plane flying

>>283410067
You can do a lot with same size gears though, just not the immediately obvious stuff

>>283410792
Isn't that in the first post of the image?

Actually here's what happened according to the research done by the "out of my ass" university

>/v/ is composed of people who shitpost and people who like videogames
You already know which is the majority, so let's just continue with this

>people who like videogames, let's call them V, like a new game
>people who shitpost, let's call them S, are shitposting in threads of popular stuff
>S is ignoring V's new liked game, because it is not popular
>the game V is talking about becomes popular exactly because it is being left alone by S
>S gets all over it
>V attacks itself thinking it is S
>the cycle continues

We can indeed talk about videogames here, but only if they're not popular and only for a short while.

>>283411470
Well if you weren't around for that guy you'd have to read the archives to properly get a feeling for his ridiculousness so I wouldn't bother if I were you anyway.

But that aside, fuck the haters, most people loved your work. Certainly the people more involved did since they definitely got all the jokes.

>>283412000
Thanks a lot for that, anon.

I'll go to the archives immediately, these sperg outbursts are always hilarious as hell whether they're fake or not

Made a super compact variation on a chaos engine for when you want to draw power from both ends of it at the same time in the same rotational direction (for example, driving a pair of wheels). The middle two sawblades are connected to each other by a brace. It's power output is about the same, while being half the size.

>>283416480
Not at point blank range, evidently.

>>283416946
You have to bind them to different keys and just fire them in sequence.

>>283416946
Use the wrench tool to adjust key mapping or settings of individua parts.

They really need to add copy&paste.

I've yet to actually do something useful with CEs.

That said, how the hell does Superposing work? I get the whole "Place A, delete A, place B while you Undo the deletion of A" but Undo has no key bind and my mouse can't be in two places at once..? I'm broke as fuck so all I have is 0.02

>>283419112
Decuplers, I assume.

I don't know how he made them spread though.
Pistons seem likely, but I can't see any.

>>283419521
>undo has no keybind
control+z

>>283419541
The rotation of the thing as a whole does the spread, I've tried something similiar (but not rotating around itself) with Grabbers and it worked out pretty well

>>283419663
WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE KEYBIND LIST or am I just plain blind and retarded

Anyways, thanks!!

>>283408268
its just very hype right now is all. The threads will trickle down as updates slow down. As it stands the game is very fresh, and there are a lot things you can do with it. Its fun

>>283419541
You can't attach bombs to decouplers. You have to use the grabber

>>283419702
Ah, that makes sense. And yeah, I meant grabbers too, not decuplers.
Although decuplers would be cooler.

I'm too lazy to make webms so heres a video
this is the most technically complicated thing i've made so far

What advantages do engines have over just stacking rotating blocks? There didnt seem like much of a difference to me.

How can I use the swastika engine? How to make it more stable? Is this a metaphor that buddhism is condemned to die?

Is there a sort of "Getting Started" or basic construction guide? I've finished the one island but I haven't figured out how to make shit like flying machines or anything that moves very well.

>>283419974
You could fix the grabber to a decoupler if you think those are cooler

If you want to shrink the filesize or make longer webms, reducing the dimensions is in my opinion better than reducing bitrate, unless it's already small to begin with.

>>283420474
You need to balance out the rotational force of the blades by have an equal amount of force spin the opposite direction relative to the center of mass. Ala 2 more motors on the bottom.

See the three bars next to "sandbox"? Click on them and then the bottom option to see where your centre of gravity is located.

Protip: Your thing is too heavy on the back end and has nothing to propel it forward, a lot of thrust in the back though.

>>283423710
no forward movement, but upward thrust forward of the CoG?

>>283423985
So what would I use to provide forward propulsion without just using a cannon?
