Sandbox gets old after a while and I've been going through the whole career thing which is great at first - restricts your parts, gives you progressively harder missions and appropriate rewards, but pretty much from the time you finish your first manned mission to the Mun everything feels super grindy and cut and paste.

This is what I built for Mars, one of the few remaining screens of when I played it. Eight individual atmospheric sampling probes, a lander, and an orbital section. No solar panels because the first ones weigh half a god damn ton.

pros: heavy usage of procedural parts, less part cluttering in the editor, lots of new parts, lots of new science experiments, lots of new and very varied contracts

cons: somewhat easy because you have so many part and science mods that it will be a bit easier to get science. It's a fucking massive mod with a million dependencies

>KSPI-E
pros: lots of new and hard to manage tech, lots of numbers to manage, less mods required, somewhat more realistic in how energy production and transmission work, lot more resources, hard to reach and hard to use end-game content

cons: the first half of career is basically 100% stock KSP as the good stuff comes a bit later in the tech tree. Quite complicated and documentation is somewhat scarce.

SETI is more "casual" and probably more fun for short plays, KSPI is more autistic, but more rewarding IMO. The end-game stuff from KSPI is fantastic and takes a lot of work to unlock, it really forces you to think of the long term.

The best way to become more creative is to create, and I know that sounds incredibly counter-intuitive, and to be honest, it is.
You just need to make literally anything and keep making literally anything until ideas come to you.


>too stupid and impatient to learn how to use CAD
It might not be with CAD, but I do know this feel though.
I've wanted to learn to program for years but I still have this problem.

Is there a good "babies first base/ship" guide for spengies or does the game have good tutorials?

>>166347751
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQg6mpjQMRo

http://imgur.com/IZekrGe

The campaign is really incomplete to be a tutorial but you can try it.

>>166347751
There probably are a lot of good guides on this, though I'd probably say
>Create new ship
>Build a platform or a cube
>Add reactor or two
>Add a couple gyro's, play around with how many makes the ship turn decently well while not being overkill
>Add thrusters
>Learn controls

Optional:
>Add one or more drills
>Attach drill/s to cargo container via pipes
>Go mining

>After learning how all of these things work start again, but this time, not as a cube
Essentially, to boil it down, learn how to make things functional, then learn to make things pretty.

Also, I'd probably avoid pistons and merge blocks
They have a tendency to anger CLANG, and while I can't say whether or not that's true in this update of spengies, it's definitely a recurring theme.

My great uncle was killed like that with a big tire. Old ones had split rims, which were extremely dangerous.

>>166356905
>maximum efficiency
With respect to what?

>am i a retard?
Absolutely.
Producing one green chip requires 3 copper wires, meaning the output of your setup is limited to 1/3 the throughput of your wire belt.
This means a blue (2400 items/min) belt with wire would produce a yellow (800 items/min) belt with green chips.

>>166357272
a blue belt can carry forty items per second
assembling machines mk2 assemble two copper wires every 0,67 seconds
there are thirty wire assemblers
30(0,5/0,75)2=40
therefore it is exactly enough to support thirty copper wires in a row but no more without clogging up, which is conveniently enough to exactly support twenty circuit assemblers
but i have not tinkered with maximizing circuit production without belts (without robots), mayhaps it is faster than the attainable throughput could ever be

>>166358123
>split rims
One of the youtube videos sais its a lock ring wheel, not split rim. Split rims I think are banned now.

>>166358312
so even if it goes at maximum throughput it's inferior to directly feeding?
i like compact belt factories because they're aesthetic, such a shame

>>166361876
nop

>>166358860
You just dun goofed and designed something with zero consideration of potential bottlenecks.
Even the copper wire production is an excellent example of this: two belts for input, one belt for output.
Consider for a moment that one belt of copper wire would only require a half belt of copper plates.

>compact belt factories
But your proposed design isn't particularly compact.

don't they exclusively place wire on one side of the belt? i wanted to fill both sides so needed to feed them plates from the outside, but if they fill both sides by default then i'm just a massive retard
not sure what you mean about it not being compact, it's made for maximum output on a single belt with as little spacing as possibe
what about this one, still retarded?

>>166364743
the inserters place items on further side of belt. if they're on end of belt, it depends on their direction. Generally you don't want to belt wires

They do.
Surely you can think of a few ways to use both of the belt's lanes.

>not sure what you mean about it not being compact
How about the aforementioned bottleneck, which basically means two thirds of the assemblers will be idle?
What about the belts which don't have their full throughput put to use?
Compare it to this setup, which uses 80 T1 Assemblers to produce 1.9k green chips per minute.

A small thing to do in REM besides fiddling with the builder would be enough to get my playing it a bit.

Is it possible to build an elevator that connects planets or asteroids toghether?

>>166365710
So how's it going to move the actual elevator/platform?

I was thinking about building one myself but I couldn't think of a stable way that wasn't just a thrust overrided small ship or some such.

>>166366337
You guys are always pretty keen on survival, eh?

Good news is that this is exactly similar to what we dicked around with in starmade, calling it "King of the Ring."

Idea was that two players went in to duel, winner stayed in and the loser was killed. The winner's ship was not allowed to be repaired between matches and had to wait for the next wave of fighters to enter. Pretty fun stuff.

This is something we can add once we start working on the framework for tournaments, which is soon.

>>166367182
Glorious... I think of ideas about REM a lot actually since I don't play any of the /egg/ games here, and just check in to see how REM's coming along. I'm the anon who donated forever ago

Another idea I had for when gravity becomes a thing, is an infinitely long hallway with weapons shooting at you from the roof or sides, and the goal is to see how far you can make it before crashing to the ground. Small game modes like that to play in single player.

D'aw, thank you anon. I do like that idea for testing purposes, especially when groundstuff is added and you have to start worrying about gravity in arenas as a flying vehicle.

>>166365710

I don't think I would be able to avoid flying through and watching it tumble.

Would barely scratch the ship.

There's a semi autistic fag who plays on some of the popular servers who uses exploits and changes client side text. Keens has yet to fix these and it allows anyone to change the ownerships of blocks, give themselves unlimited antenna range and track almost anyone. He'll crash a server just to update the text file and upload it. It's widely used on Fountain Core now a days but still. He also uses pirate assemblers and Refineries just to go over his allowed block limits and lag out the server. Then when he pvp's and gets his ass handed to him, he'll do the stereotypical crying in chat he wasn't prepared or he got suckered punch. He has to cheat to win. When asked about it, he claims anyone who uses gravity generators and mass blocks to make a grave drive is exploiting and thus cheating as well.

>>166373238
>He'll crash a server just to update the text file and upload it
Explain this part

>>166373289
I don't know how he does it but he's admitted to doing it.

>>166373289
A lot of games/programs don't check for file updates on the go, only when they start up. That's probably why he was doing it.

Is there any reason at all to use cogs in Besiege? It seems like all of their functions can be done much more easily and efficiently by other blocks.

REMdevs, I think I might have found a bug. When placing an armor plate that crosses the "center line" of a ship, the center of mass will shift to the side that you first clicked, despite the actual area of coverage.

>>166379000
That's a known issue with the centre of mass of plates, where its completely fucked. Fixed in the current dev version. Thank you for the report.

>>166379116
Oh, awesome. By the way, I think the game is looking pretty great. I watched your most recent state of the game video and took a peek at your trello, and I have to say I'm genuinely excited by the direction you guys seem to be taking the game.

Also, are you guys planning to stick with the TRON-ish "wire frame and neon" look? I think it's pretty cool looking myself, so I wouldn't mind that at all.

SOMEONE UPLOAD THEIR AVORION DIRECTORY REEEEE

Would factorio be fucked up much if conveyor belts needed power to run?

for an autismal game this one thing is really tweaking my autism the longer i play

>>166382528
Well yes and no
it would require people to be a bit more careful in where they place their power poles
it would require a lot more power poles for setups where you are transporting things on conveyor belts between other power-using devices
early-game setups would require more power since you would now have to factor in the conveyor needs, unless they use some tiny amount each
conveyors would be unusable until you get power like yellow inserters and electric mining drills

but it would satisfy the need for things to be consistent

>>166382528
It wouldn't add anything new while being massive pain in the ass to setup.

Nope, that was all dev-art stuff. Easy to do, somewhat easy to look at. Looks a little better these days. Once we finish up a few things (mostly the guns) I'll toss together another state of the game.

Here's a webm of the new boost feature, which really raises the skill ceiling and gives the players a lot more options.

>>166384725
Maybe just implement sort of skin system?
Ideally, with options to turn on/off shadows, lightning and etc for the textures and/or models.

Well, saying it is one thing, doing it is quite another. The current system is, as always, temporary, but its basically just tinting white objects (the panels and struts) individually. Default is grey, and you can color things as a whole or on a per-part basis, with the exception of functional modules, which will have another system later. We've made some great progress on decals, so those aren't out of the question once we get ricochet marks and scorch marks in properly.

Missiles are my fourth fetish, so those are going in with a vengeance. Macross missile swarms confirmed.

Mines... eh. Take em or leave em, not that interesting to develop or play with. Easy to do, I suppose.

Lasers, yes, but not in the standard sense of star trek magical bullshit. They'll tie more into the heat and resource system than, say, the penetration mechanics. More melting, less instant slicing in half.

Not right now, no. Everything is on the LMB. Running plan is weapon computers, which are linked to specific keys, similar to mechwarrior. Mouse 1, mouse 2, mouse 3, and so on. Keyboard binds too. One computer for the 35mm's, one for the 105mm, one for the missile array.

These are then configured individually, with target leading and target acquisition modules placed separately. or perhaps the modules are just 'slotted in' to the computers via a dropdown menu.

Can't really think of a situation where you'd need more than 5 computers at any given time, but initial support will be for up to nine, I think.

+it's everything i expected (it's basically the same game as the demo, but with loads more shit happening)
+there's an upgrade that lets you legit BREAK THE SPEED CAP just like the glitch from the demo (webm related is the demo glitch)

-there's a bug that makes some people unable to launch
-he still didn't dial down the frequency of pirate raids in ""safe"" sectors
-stacking thin solar panels is more space and weight efficient than the power generators of the same tier, still no requirement for solar panels to be exposed

I'll take a wild guess and say it's Planet Nomads.

But in the war of triangles, which triangle is the best?

How do you break the speed cap?

In the demo, some of the speed upgrades are glitched and cause your speed hard cap to periodically increase for mysterious reasons

In the full game, there's an upgrade which removes the hard cap in exchange for massive power draw or some such, making the highest speed you can reach about 20km/s which seems to be the soft cap. (Only a 2-block microship will have low enough power draw to ever see 20km/s though)

>>166409883
Actually there's no surface friction in avorion, so you'll knock a couple blocks off and spin violently like in >>166405735 no matter how fast you're moving

Well that ship had a sharp point.
We are engineers, we overcome problems within given constraints.
No surface friction? Only the blocks on contact get damaged?
Picture related with a lot of speed should suffice.

THERE WAS BUT GMOD IS TOO GOOD FOR YOU ALL

/egg/ abortion serb when?

>>166411865
I'd do it, but you Niggers wouldn't join and it'd be only kids joining to spam jeeps with thrusters.

last time I played Gmod I tried to make a bascule bridge, and it was floppy
all I wanted was a long hard bridge to stretch over a gap and it couldn't even do that

>>166386073
>Mines... eh. Take em or leave em, not that interesting to develop or play with. Easy to do, I suppose.
You could have a small ship zipping around laying mines to impair the enemy's mobility.
Even better it could be used in conjunction with a bigger ship (if multiplayer is confirmed, even if it's a "instanced" system a-la Elite: Dangerous) to allow it to bring it's full firepower to bear on the now trapped target.
Plenty of payload options too! From explosives to gravity generators, maybe even a thruster and a magnet so it sticks to ships and fucks with their movement (maybe causing them to slam into a wall)

>>166412262
I'll give you a long hard dick to stretch out your ass.

>>166391961
Now i want it bigger (can be carried on a pickup like a syrian Technical), made entirely of metal (>inb4 hurr durr metal is shit 4 crossbow retard. One word: Arbalest), powered by a V8 and shooting rebar bolts.

Then buy it from him and go skinwalker hunting

Well, its not going to be a big open world, at all seriously just go play elite dangerous if you want that, but a squadron of mine-dropping drones is totally a feasible thing. Granted, the drones wouldn't be so extensively simulated in the structural mechanics, but they're so small as to make that hardly matter.

Found a fun glitch

so, is avorion worth it?

>>166416000
I've played it for 5 hours so far and I'm not stopping any time soon, should be able to get more than my moneys worth.

>>166416168
gib files for piratefags

>>166416225
no

>>166416391
gib

>>166416000
It's X3 Albion Prelude where you can build your own ships. It's great.

Also anyone else getting a bug unable to connect to a server when trying to play singleplayer?

>>166416587
I recall something about that on the forums, check through task manager for anything avorion related (Close the game first) and shut anything down.

>>166416587
Is it still as magically optimized as the demo was, or did the dev stop using a proto-potato and throw optimization out the window?

>>166416834
yep, found it. It appears to play singleplayer it runs a separate server process, if you lose connection you need to force close it. Weird they run the server and client separate for singleplayer.

>>166416991
I have all settings maxed on my toaster and it plays at 160fps and it looks good. pirates invaded my sector (starting one lel) and there were tracers everywhere.

>>166417169
>that well optimized
All devs should be forced to use ancient hardware.

>>166416168
how the fuck do I rotate blocks in this shit?

>>166412214
Do it faggot, if 4+2+2chan can do it so can we.

>>166418524
Isn't their serb not an /egg/ serb though?

>>166418606
Which is why we are going to make an /egg/

>>166418606
I would play TTT on custom space-station maps with /egg/

>>166418087
No fucking clue.

Unless they changed it, you can only build so high from a planet into the air.

Someone besides one person would have to care about it.

Careful, the /v/ attack dogs will come for your dick if you say anything against their precious micro-pc's.

>>166425138
Well duh it's CPU bound

whats your CPU anyways and are you impatient for the 1080 Ti?

>>166427261
i7 3770 because its the best i can fit in my mobo far as I know.

Between that and the projected higher cost, the 1080 is fine.
