Thanks for the input. I sort of wanted to do transport with pipes. I wanted the player to be able to have several factories on different planets, all producing and selling automatically. I wanted true resources to be counted in terms of products per second, anything that isn't renewable should quickly run out, forcing you to build self-sufficient factories. Hence the pipes, because I'd want some sort of simplified model of all your factories running all the time. I'd imagine simple buffer would be lighter in computation than a belt. I see that I'll have to rethink some aspects of this mechanic

HWS are the only servers with a large population for whatever fucking reason.

Probably because they make the game easy mode by having their special website integration stuff like storage and mining drones for you that exist outside the game. It makes the game ridiculously easy to play, and lets people build massive ships no problem, instead of being an autistic space dwarf and mining out entire mountains with your bare hands to crush your enemies with a huge capital ship.

FUCKING WHITE FLAYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERS

Hey, seems the like HWS server admins are finally clueing in on the starter planets.

Big post about it today on their forums.

>Starter Planets

>"People laughed about the "missing" Noob Protection rule in HWS 4.0. Large factions and veterans came back and raided the Starter Planets so new people got no chance in placing Auto Miners or capture a POI.
We try to implement soon an automatic way to not allow such players to return at all. It is just not good for the whole universe balance.
For now the new rule applied that you only can have 1 CV on the Starter Planets and Outpost. Either private or in faction."

>>164145905
do you have a link to that post

>>164146220

https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/happy-new-year-announcement/3239

Seems like the guy has some trouble tryping in english, but most of it can be made out pretty well.

For now they will only allow a faction to have a single capital vessel on starter planets. They plan to later make it impossible for "experienced" players to return to a home planet and rape all the rescources leaving newbies with nothing.

The game already supports a system where certain players/factions can be denied access to landing on certain planets, where they get several automated warnings and eventually their ship gets auto deleted and the pilot teleported into orbit.

Theres probably a way to have that type of system be applied to each individual player, so once they leave the starter system a switch gets turned over and they can never land on the starter planet again without getting warnings, or doing a full character reset.

Anyone have Astroneer and can verify that its a good game?

It's okay, you could probably get a few hours out of it. It's mega blocks tier simple with upgrade and inventory management mechanics. The rover and truck controls are floaty and wonkey as fuck. The shuttle orbiting and going to other planets is one button and not really realistic in it's approach. I could make a few webms.

>>164149372
Please oblige, I'd enjoy it to give me a better idea.

Also the game is in early access, it has a few quirks. When you spend enough time near an area the terrain starts to break. There is also a lot of random frame drops.

On space with no planets and low density asteroids might work.

Maybe for the end of the next year, they will have the new "dont render what you dont see" stuff and maybe it will improve.

I cant tell if the game is actually advancing, or this are desperate moves to keep afloat.

>"We got a tech support call from one of our customers saying that she couldn't get the tape out of the drive following the nightly backup run. After getting nowhere on the phone, we eventually sent someone out to have a look at it. It was one of the old QIC tapes, the ones that have a hefty metal plate down one side that physically prevents you from putting them in the wrong way around. Our fearless customer was not to be deterred, however. When she couldn't push the tape in (because it was the wrong way around), she tried forcing it in, but to no avail. Then she resorted to getting a spoon and using it as a lever to force the tape into the drive. Not surprisingly, it wouldn't come out the following morning. She needed a new tape drive."

Transport Fever. The cities build themselves around your supply of resources, and you have to build railroads and trucking/shipping/plane routes to connect production chains and move people. Arguably more simplified than Transport Tycoon, but nicer to look at.

>>164208283
That's unfortunate since there's no seperate city builder and management general. /beng/ - Building & Engineering would be neat.

>>164208283
More than anything city planning barely qualifies as civil engineering. The game automates all the engineering aspects that reshapes the terrain and makes the little grey concrete squares your buildings go on. Dwarf Fortress has greater claim to being Civil Engineering than city builder games.

The raid on Argentina was a shitshow from start to finish, and I sincerely regret not fucking with your base at first given opportunity.
It took me two days to properly set up a base (earthbreaker drill, multiple operational TBM, utility ship).
In the same time frame, you fuckwits managed to lose several massive ships. Was it two or three hulks?

Mind you, I found your base by that second day (remember this picture?), which made your incompetence obvious.
The blatant disregard for any discretion is what gets your base found, and from there it's a cakewalk to ruin it.

>>164209803
Now you're just taking the piss. It's not like in city builders you go "commence the city building" and everything does itself automatically.

Just to take Transport Fever as an example, I have to plan railroads with extreme caution to terrain in mind since they can only have a very low inclines, train speeds drop the tighter my curves get and building tunnels, bridges and banks drives up the costs exponentially. Furthermore certain rail types or bridge types have limited top speeds. More likely than not I'll have to account for multilane corridors, passing points, junctions and so on. Then I have to plan routes from stop to stop, outfit them with signals and waypoints so they won't hold up each other, and put trains together from different locomotives and trailers available to me in that era given their purchase costs, running costs, lifespan, power, tractive effort, top speed and the expected passenger or cargo volume.

Surely Dwarf Fortress is the pinnacle of autismal complexity, but unless you're playing Transport Fever on a flat map on easy difficulty you're usually going to barely scrape by.

That's a part of it. I teach English in general, including literature, rhetoric, composition, and English as a 2nd language. For what it's worth I'm at the college level; I pity high school teachers; having taught English in China for a while and dealing with teenagers...ugh. Nothing convinced me to teach at a college more than that experience.

Relevant to the thread, though, I'm about ready to leave this planet, perhaps for good. Built my moon base and might have enough leftover material to make a capital ship. Once I do that I think I'll feel confident enough to join y'all in some multiplayer shenanigans if that's okay.

Critique of literature from a feminist perspective, that is, examining how certain literary texts reinforce patriarchal power structures and the oppression of women. Most recently I did a piece on Terry Pratchett's novel Equal Rites and how it's not really as female-empowering as it looks at first glance. Before that I presented at a conference about how Piers Anthony is just plain gross in general.

It kind of hurts to eviscerate my favorite authors this way, but that's how it goes.

I don't really keep up with which wave of feminism is which, hence my definition above. But as I said before, literary criticism is only one of the things I do and probably the smallest. If you want to talk about teaching composition, though, let's do this.

Not quite the Deep South. I'm in Kansas.

I chose to do Equal Rites initially intending to compare it to a later Pratchett novel, A Hat Full of Sky, to examine how the author developed his ability to create heroines that were viable from a critical standpoint over time, but there was enough to say about Equal Rites that it kind of took over the whole research.

>How is it relevant to modern outlooks on society?
The late 80's and 90's saw a huge boom in young adult fantasy literature. Most of it was Conan-the-Barbarian type stuff, you know, big strapping heroes going up against other big strapping heroes. I picked a novel that ostensibly went against that grain and put it under the magnifying glass. Turns out it doesn't really hold up either. Is it relevant to contemporary studies? No, but historical research is valuable in its own right.
>>164216103
>otherwise you'd be just coming up with various ways of labeling literally all literature as sexist
I had a Big Long Thing written out here but I don't want to stay off topic. In short, though, lots and lots of literature (and everything else) IS sexist, and as a society we're so used to it that we kind of stop noticing after a while. That's what people mean when they say 'the patriarchy'.

How do you go about joining a MP game? Gotta fix up the roof and then install that turret, then I might give it a go.

Ever hear of the "Man covered in shit" argument?

You can have the best point to make in the world, that has litterally no flaws and everyone should believe. But then a naked man, covered in shit, walks up behind you and declares he agrees with you.

Your cause is now associated with the man covered in shit.

Point to me a reformative cause in all of history, and I will find you a man covered in shit.

I agree with a lot of what """REAL"""" feminists have to say. My girlfriend is openly bi, and I've gotten her to be a lot more confident and comfortable around myself and others. That's my "BUT I HAVE A BLACK FRIEND SO I CAN SAY NIGGER TOO" equivilent.

But I'll never support the cause actively, or even associate myself with it, because there's too many men running around, waving LGTBQ+2/5^7 flags, screaming how much of a feminist they are. Covered in shit.

I took ladybug from workshop mainly for it's good drill placement that allows it to dig perfect tunnels and then climb it 90 degree upward like crazy and built a turret on it since world is full of underwater meteorites.

Do you have a air vent that connect to that room? Rooms can be sealed from one another, the reason why its so it is possible to make proper airlocks with their own pocket of air so that opening a door to the exterior doesn't mean you'll empty your ship of oxygen each time, if the ship has been designed for such thing in the first place of course

does anyone here own a cat?

>>164224179
if empyrion, use shutters

>>164224438
There are three cats around my house. They're more or less mine since I feed them, but they don't stay inside, there are some places for them to stay warm though.

>>164224579
Do you _love_ any of them more than any others?

>>164219373
Take note though that when you make it more and more massive it's max hover height will decrease and no amount of hover engines will make up for that
I don't know if it is bug or feature but I made some metal clang tank and it barely lifted

>>164224579
Same here, cats are wonderful

>>164224625
I don't feel any connection with cats, or people, or whatever animal besides dogs.

It's nice because they keep my house rat-free, which is a big concern for someone on the rural outskirts of a town. I pet them sometimes and it's pretty nice when they purr.
Also feeding them is pretty cheap compared to owning a dog.

>>164224784
>>164224882
I'm happy for you. I'm wondering if this Friskies I've been feeding them is causing some sort of strange gas to propagate in their systems. This counts as engineering, right?

I don't think it's that, Friskies makes decent food but I've found out that the other things (like the anti flea spray or collar or fluid) is utter shit.
My dog liked friskies chewy sticks and dry food, and he was pretty picky about dry food.
It counts as engineering if you ask how many of them they have to eat to be buoyant and liftoff.
It would also count as animal cruelty probably.
What makes you think they're getting gassed?

>>164224501
I was talking about Empyrion. Shutter doors are dum

>>164225278
I live in a small apartment, so I'm pretty intimate with their different cycles. When I feed them friskies, ventilating is a necessity. Multiple times a day.

>>164225248
Certainly, but not the most ass-fucking-est spess game out there.

>>164225278
Then don't buy a shitty cheap collar. Buy the expensive shit, or whatever the vet recommends. My dog had an ugly fucking rash from the cheap shit, indigestion might not be too far off.

I've been using Advantix from Bayer for years.
It's the same price as the Friskies or Frontline, but in my experience is the only one that works (even more than advertised).

>>164225401
Then maybe your cats are intolerant to them? Pretty strange if it happens on multiple cats, maybe you bought stale food from a less than reputable source? Or maybe they're too high in protein, making the gassing comparable to playing spengos MP on an aussie hosted potato server while you don't notice it when they eat other food because less protein intake means little noticeable gas.

I knew Sandvik made tooling but wasn't aware they made metal stock. I think they may exaggerate the processes.

Also I know this is an animation but why would you re pass the bar back and forth in one die instead of having multiple dies in a row? I guess it would save machinery cost but it seems like fuck ups would be more likely.

The planets are fake but it's got amazingly realistic physics. I only just realized you have to go sideways to orbit, I always thought gravity just stopped.

I had to use the Saturn-V style parts just to get this Explorer-1 replica up. I didn't know atmospheric drag was such a big deal for rockets compared to planes!

I hid a parachute inside it and used an RCS motor for future de-orbiting and recovery.

>>164226272
Because metal is a bitch sometimes and one bar to another bar might need different numbers of passes.

You have no idea how incredibly fucking wrong you are, and I pity you for that.
Go learn some actual orbital mechanics - that's what you probably mean, by the way, because the actual physical simulation, like most games have, are subpar at best -, not retarded simplified "on rails" bullshit that doesn't even work most of the time.

the orbit mechanics in-game are basically only "wrong" in that a given vehicle is only influenced by a single body at a time and the jittery orbits from rounding issues

of course, i personally will not be satisfied until the solar system is properly simulated with hundreds of thousands of physically simulated orbital bodies interacting with each other, and i intend to shitpost about it at every opportunity

If you would look at the handy dandy image, with that pink trajectory that you won't actually ever see in game, you'd realize that it looks kinda strange compared to an actual free return trajectory, right? Like the injection and ejection paths don't cross?
Maybe that's because you can't switch focus to any body in KSP, shit for brains? Maybe because KSP doesn't actually simulate N-body physics, and the focus is always on the sphere of influence? And maybe, more importantly, it's because it won't model the Moon's influence until you're in its "sphere of influence", and therefore can never actually get a free return trajectory in relative retrograde, you know, like an actual free return trajectory is meant to be done?
Just in case, I'll quote it for your stunted half-chimp brain, alright?
>A circumlunar free-return trajectory around the Moon. The spacecraft passes behind the Moon. It moves there in a direction opposite to that of the Moon. If the craft start in a normal (west to east) direction near Earth, then it makes a figure 8.
Notice the "in a direction opposite to that of the Moon." In KSP's stunted retard-mechanics, you can only achieve a bizarre fucking prograde orbit that's just a plain old fucking hohmann transfer.
And before you can even ask, no, the other method, the 'cislunar method' is not even remotely possible in KSP, as it requires lunar intercept rather than a capture.

Isn't the N body problem unsolvable unless simplified though?

>>164229464
Guess I've got my shitposting cut out for me.

>>164229464
It's unsolvable like the value of PI is unknown. It's just about approximation, and we're really good at that with computers. It's just that the approximation doesn't have to be accurate, and can be kinda slow.
Even then, you could probably abstract it down to a three-body problem only in games and still have most of the fun stuff left, although you might be missing some lagrange points.

>>164229898
>abstract it down to a three-body problem
Might as well just abstract it down to a one-body problem if you're going to fuck it up that bad.

Why the fuck is there 3 different tools in empyrion that just clutter up the hotbar.
Why couldn't they be all packed into the multitool and be accessible with the rightclick menu

>>164230431
Because devs commonly suffer the problem of 'woops I didn't think of that due to not actually playing the game lol'.
Animal Crossing has this problem too, where a significant section of inventory is taken up by all the useful tools, in a game based around carrying shit around to do things.
