>>169798171
>Rocks dropped from the moon have power of 100s of nuclear bombs
Rocks dropped from the moon will fall to the moon.
If that retard means using rocks or asteroids as a weapon, you can do that from across the system if you know how to do it properly

>>169798413
elon musk said he would send tourists to the moon by next year (suuuuuuure)

since about half of wu's wiki is about gamergate I completely disregard her opinions on anything

>>169798708
For some reason people think that gravity on the moon still pulls people t earth, and that you can simply drop things from the moon. They also think you can just drop things from orbit and they'll fall straight down

>>169798864
>people think that gravity on the moon still pulls people t earth
But it does.
But the Moon's gravity is stronger near the Moon.

And you can drop a thing in orbit and it will eventually fall down.
Depending on what kind of orbit, it could take anywhere from zero to millions of years to lithobrake.

>>169798825
If the new heavy lifter works I see nothing stopping a simple single lunar orbit.

>>169796495
It's a shitty derivate of a shitty game.

>>169799170
Have there even been any high earth orbit Falcon 9 launches?
I've only seen low earth orbit delivery so far.

>>169799117
>Moon's gravity is stronger near the Moon.
you know, some time ago I was deving some shitty space game and thought of an optimization to just consider the gravity of the nearest astral body

then the satellite I was testing shot out of the solar system

turns out, even at Earth surface, the gravity of the Sun is still larger, we just dont notice because reference system

I think acceleration towards the sun was something like 30m/s2 or something like that

>>169799170
>the lifter is untested
>the manned pod is untested
>he still hasnt sent anyone to the LEO

yeah, sure, totes gonna sent the bogs to the moon before 2019

>>169799117
What I meant to say is they believe the dropped object will accelerate towards the core of the earth immediately once dropped. Typically they also think it will accelerate at 10 m/s

Same for orbits. Straight down

>>169798960
Well the devwalkout probably freed up a lot of funds for new ways to scam the player base.

>>Having settled on a specific direction for time, any direction perpendicular to it will be one that we consider to be purely a direction in space. In our own universe, that leaves us with three dimensions of space that all behave in the same way: there’s no fundamental difference between x, y and z.

But in the Dichronauts universe, if t is our chosen time dimension, we are left with three perpendicular dimensions, x, y and u, as “directions in space”, but they are not all fundamentally the same, because u is potentially a direction a world line could follow, while x and y are not. So although we have a three-dimensional space here, we can’t expect its geometry to be that of our own familiar, Euclidean space.

Not him, but I thought I'd throw my 2 bits in. I'll note that none of those games allow much freedom whatsoever, let alone building. Its possible to design a game to not need tutorials, but very rarely is it going to involve much of anything in the way of engineering.

>>169850975
I'd actually argue that tutorials are okay but it feels less jarring to integrate them into the early levels of a game and teach new concepts by suggestion on a rolling basis. Classic example is HL2, and although that's not an engineering game it should still be an inspiration to all.

Besiege pretty much only teaches you how to place blocks. All other gameplay concepts are introduced organically throughout the levels.

Some consider the Factorio campaign to be a tutorial, but since the objectives in each mission take so long I'd argue they're not. Taking that into account, it does a decent job of introducing ideas without taking you out of the 'game loop'.

>>169849028
>A well designed game shouldn't rely on tutorials
I agree that a well designed game shouldn't rely on tutorials, but that being said, a game that does isn't necessarily a bad game by default.

Sometimes when a game achieves a decent to great amount of depth in it's mechanics there are certain things that have to be explained to be understood, an explanation of the small mechanics that comprise the overall mechanics.

And while it's not necessarily impossible to remove tutorials from probably 99% of games, it would require a lot of effort to make those mechanics seem obvious and natural, and more often than not, far more resources/time/effort than you might think, resources that could be far better spent on improving other areas of the game and adding more content, which is especially important to consider when you're working with few developers, such as in the case of indie games.


If you like to try to learn on your own, that's cool, just don't drop a game just because it has a tutorial, it's a kind of shallow thing to drop a game for.

It has a very nice sci-fi feel, but some design decisions are a bit weird. As far a I know there is no gameplay outside of a ship neither so you can't go out and mine or build stuff. You design a ship in the editor, pay the resources, and then teleport to it.

The sound effects are weird, they are completely absent in some stuff like footsteps, then you teleport somewhere and it rapes your ears.

For what game? In spengies I build my ships like those of the Expanse, building-like tubes with a reactor in the basement and a command floor at the top, with various utility and crew decks inbetween. In CHODE every ship is pretty much an assortment of modules stacked one atop another, wrapped in a form fitting sheath of various armor materials. All of my ships inevitably end up looking like darts with three large radiator fins for it's reactors and hulls studded with smaller radiators for weapon and crew modules, along with the turrets of various weapon systems.

I come back after hours, and no one is giving this sexy bote any attention? For shame. Sexy work dude.

Just stack cargos if you want to be chinise cheap.
Like iron was so hard to find.

>>169871123
you could just use containers and cover them in metal plates instead of boxes you fuckboi

Orbital mechanics make my dick erect.

You mean catwalks?
Would love to see some crash test with those.

Sides: interior wall blocks for authentic cargo container ribs and also glowsticks
Top and bottom: catwalk plates why not

Least durable blocks in the game, besides warheads with safety off

The idea is something that could survive a drop crash and be easy to use.
they even have lots of sensors and lighs for proximity warnings, 2 way sorters to accept or deny specific shit, a beacon and a battery to know where it is, and a screen to detail what the fuck is inside and destination.
They were not ment to be cheap at all.
If you want to go for muh aesthetics, just leave the cargo blocks exposed, and cover the ports to avoid space zomalians to steal your shit.

How would orbital mechanics work in a game with such ridiculously low speeds?

I've beaten argentacuck in single combat. Small frigate that was 50% rocket launchers and 40% gattling turrets.

>>169876524
I'm assuming the other 10% was frigate?

I'm pretty sure they got them in an update years back

I think my autism just blew a fuse. I thought this could be done in algodoo, but actually seeing it done, holy shit.

Are there any other hugely autistic things like this in algodoo? I want to datamine people's algodoo creations, so we can give computers autism.

Speaking of specs, even though the game isnt exactly /egg/ i have:
Intel i5 750 2.67 GHz
6 GB RAM
AMD Radeon HD 5450

And yet both in Magicmaker (some explosions or lot of stuff in the screen) and Ring Runner (main menu mostly) the FPS tanks.
Why? Driver issue? Clandestine buttcoin miner?
