Second for pushing it to 940 kph using only vanilla blocks and physics bugs.

Yes I am still experimenting with this thing

fourth for reposting my shitty ideas in hopes of someone showing it to the schoomer

>jumpdrives for long-range "teleportation"
pros:
instant
pinpoint accuracy
long range that scales with ship mass and jumpdrive size block-wise
cons:
need to be charged before jump
costly
energy-hungry
limited to coordinates grid

>warpdrives for non-instant FTL
pros:
still faster than without it
gotta go fast
adjustable speed
not limited to coordinates grid
not so energy-hungry
cost-efficient - more mass per module unit in scaling
cheaper than jumpdrive modules resource-wise
invisible to real space plebs
at warp factor 3 and higher you stop colliding with anything, including asteroids, stations, ships, stars, black holes and planets
it takes the 1:1 or more inhibitor modules to prevent going FAST

cons:
not instantaneous
no jumps from/into subspace, gates included (duh)
unlike their jumpdrive counterparts, warpdrive inhibitors prevent the usage of warpdrives completely and cannot be negated with charging speed
even jumpdrive inhibitors slow you down
subspace sensors can detect your approach across 2 systems
other ships can chase you in subspace if they're fast enough
suddenly leaving subspace damages your shields/hull
sudden stop at warp 10 can really ruin your day
up to warp factor 2 colliding with anything throws you out of the subspace and damages shields/hull according to speed

It has a self-defense gatling now because spiders, a welder/grinder effect box indicator, med station/spawn point, heat sink lights indicating power use, opening/closing cockpit canopy, improved visibility, magnet locking landing gear, redundant power sources, lost/return autopilot and sports full hydrogen thrust with five tanks to supplement the ion thrust.

And the usual features from the previous iterations - welder safety sensors, grind storage, parts storage, dual connector ports, oxygen tank and (multiple) generators, beacon/antenna, 8 welders, 2 grinders, full LCD screens with container readouts for cockpit and rear, grindhold % LCD, all cargo % LCD, alert lights, search lights and jump drives.

Look up inverse/reverse kinematics. Learn how to take a sum of 3D coordinates (some libraries make this easy in implementation) and use that to find the combined center of mass of a system of variable parts and keep it between the points of contact on the ground. Look up walk cycles.

Go from there.

It's very different for every instance of walkers.

For besiege you first need it to not break under weight
For spengies you need an altar and pray daily to Clang.
Same for Mengies but also pray that it doesn't crash
For machinecraft you know you must not use antigravs, as they are cheating. Maybe programming with LUA can help in the future.
For Robocraft just don't put tank treads above the legs.
For real life I won't tell because I'm trying to make a living out of it, if I finish the career. No general consensus.

>For real life I won't tell because I'm trying to make a living out of it, if I finish the career.
Don't be a faggot. The basics are exactly the same for building a Lua walker in any of the games that support it, IRL just requires you to be stupid creative with terrain mapping. I'm doing this as a self taught hobby.

What are some fun features I can add to the large version of my cargo cruiser / blockade runner?

Aside from the necessities, the interior is so huge on the big version I'm running out of ideas to fill it up with. The small version was easy because all it needed was an engine room, captain's quarters, cargo, and the "bridge".

Large cargo hold. Plenty of storage as well as internal space to tie shit down, and mount more removable large containers.

>>121657063
I just started FtD myself. It is pretty unintuitive at first, but once you get a grasp on how one thing works - engines, for example - you'll have a decent idea of how the other multi-block systems go together before you even start messing with them. Beyond that it's really just learning to optimize your shit through experience and fucking around in the vehicle designer, which is where the fun engineering bit comes in. There are short little tutorials for how shit works that are actually super fucking convenient because you can access them right from the block inventory screens and they take only seconds to page through.

And it doesn't look -that- bad. It's not beautiful, but there are uglier voxel building games.

Been messing with troll physics lately, making steam cars that shoot themselves and move and stuff, and decided to try one with cannons.

It uh...it doesn't work very well. It requires an obscene amount of bracing to hold together under the force of being intentionally shot at hundreds of times per minute, its hard to see while in motion because of the clouds of smoke, and its pretty fucking slow.

The one success here is that I don't have godmode turned on. It really does stand up to this pounding.

is your weapon controller connected to the turret spinner itself?

if you control a turret spinner with AI, all weapons mounted to it are also controlled.

if you set firing angle restrictions on the firing piece itself, the AI will not fire the turret unless it happens to be pointing at an enemy and you're also looking in an acceptable line of fire. it's a known bug, been around forever with custom cannons and now apparently advanced cannons. something to do with the way barrel movement is coded.

to avoid it, just set the restrictions on the turret itself so it can't rotate to fire on your ship, if there's no firing restrictions on the firing piece it should work fine.

on a mostly unrelated note, i recently made a ship that engages at 2.5km and scores a surprising amount of hits for 0.66 inaccuracy. i'm quite pleased with it.

>>121658550

I'll likely combine that with the bottom hangar so cargo can move in and out.

man i have to replace the big turret with another iteration of the small turret.

this shit annoys me, the big guns fire both barrels once every 4 seconds, 4 times, then are silent for 16 esconds while the autoloaders are still fucking reloading. the shells do about twice the damage of the small gun's shells, and over a larger aoe, so probably 4x the dps per shell.

the thing is, the small turret fires 4 times a second, nonstop, for 24 seconds, then reloads for 32 seconds, then resumes firing. it's more accurate with a shorter barrel, requires less space, requires a smaller ammo source to supply it and the bullets travel twice as fast.

maybe i'll make the copy of the small turret into a kinetic kill railgun instead, since the smaller rounds also benefit from railguns the most.

why the fuck anyone would use a large gun with the current system is beyond me, it's just always worse in every respect. stupid.

Voxel base ship building, or something that has a very involved customization process. Like ship spine generation, lengthening, shortening, hull warping. Adding various rooms, modules, rows of guns. It would be really cool to design your own ships and have some sort of system auto-calculate what class it would fall under.

But yes, a lot like what you said. Just not like Carribean, Carribean was god awful.

speedboats should be moving 35m/s+ at a minimum, 60 if you're using hydrofoils and jets. this light cruiser moves 23.5, despite havinga draught of 8 meters and weighing in at 250k metal.

Almost totally agree with you, all my ships are outfitted with several small turrets. However they aren't nearly as effective against small ships where you need to hit hard to get through the armor. Therefore I tend to fit "grenade" guns on beltfeeders (1 shot every 2 seconds or so, reload maybe 40 seconds or so if you put enough ammo intakes on), so 0.5x1 (casing+HE) or direct feed (a shot every 90 seconds and uses a lot less space).

>>121668563
Have you tried messing with the max rof setting on the cannon? If you do the math right you can get a consistent stream of fire, not bursts.

Side note, with Adv cannons, an autoloader can have 4 clips attached, which reduces load time by 50%. Two autoloaders with 4 clips reduces it by 75% (but then complexity penalty increases it to 70%) With 4 autoloaders with 4 clips each you can reduce reload time by 90%.

Funorb was going to do a game of the like before Jagex cut funding to their game development.

Decided to modify my space yamato into a functional sea vessel so I have something reasonably large to fight with as an AI ship.

has a reaction wheel stabiliser and I've added Integral gain to the LUA code, so when the guns are firing to one side, the speed of the wheel increases to keep the ship upright.

Outerra?

>>121690925

i could, but i don't see the merit in doing that with a cannon that just does less dps than a smaller gauge variant.

>>121690837

small ships are irrelevant, as is armor. even the smallest gauge cannons can easily pierce 2-3 metal beams in a single shot, you can use the shaped charges effectively on small gauge cannons too, i don't see the purpose for the big gauges. 500mm/1m shells are almost useless, the explosive damage isn't bad but the cooldown is gross and without belfteds they still take too damn long to do anything. you get a lot more dps by using the same amount of space for a small gauge cannon.

would be a nice change of pace from having to manually alter the speed of multiple heliblades all over the ship until you get a good balance. i'm assuming the code just balances their output automatically to maintain level orientation. would like to poke around with it if you don't mind sticking it on pastebin.

in terms of engaging at range, they're massively OP. you can kill something at 2.5-3km range reliably with an 0.4 or less inaccuracy cannon, and there's nothing it can do to stop you other than moving fast and unpredictably. you can sink most of the enemies in the campaign before they reach engagement range if you set your craft up for low caliber HE railgun rounds with high accuracy.

in a firefight at <400m they're woefully outclassed by missiles, and against unshielded targets regular CC's are absolute rape in terms of straight dps.

replace all of the long 1 block segments with 4m beams, they've got more health per segment and will reduce your blockcount substantially.

go for less props with less height and longer blades. you should also have ammo, somewhere. if it's a flyer you'll want it along the top with the armor on the bottom so you can, ya know, fire weapons and such.

otherwise engineering/10, better than my first craft which was a wierd trimeran/missileboat/drill craft monstrosity.

Not so sure about that when you can make 6 barrel miniguns firing all kinds of nasty custom projectiles. If it's close range then muzzle velocity isn't a big deal and you can pack the ammunition with all kinds nasty of shit that will BTFO custom cannon rounds.

>>121718623
Also the rate of fire can get fucking ridiculous on these minigun designs.

At close range you can just take control yourself and cut the enemy in half.

>>121718623

yeah but the amount of space required for loaders and shell parts is excessive, the space being used for just a max firerate CC will yield more dps if the rounds aren't bouncing.

imo hydrofoils are inferior to downward-pointing propellers.

Propellers allow you to spend a lot of time not even in contact with the water, but you get periodic speed drops as you fall into the water before getting pushed back up again.

>>121729827

about 70m/s is the cap as far as i can tell for bare minimum contact with water, unless you're using a custom jet with millions of thrust, then you're basically making a thrustercraft. i made a few with regular huge jets, they all skip along between 50 and 65m/s. can't do anything except missiles and lasers though, guns can't track fast enough.

I would have to check, but I think it was in response to the question of "could you mine an entire planet." Does anybody know where I could watch the stream?

forgot all about this. I've closed FTD but I did have the proportional gain version open in notepad++, so I've put that in a pastebin.

if you're still interested and can get that working, whine for me to post the integral version and if i'm in ftd i'll post it.

You know about OpenTTD, right?

You want version 0.6 or so for the last time it was pretty much true to the original. Since then they've messed with it a bit.

Top fucking kek.
That's ought to be the biggest disappointment of the year.

Are there wheels or land vehicles in FtD? Or is it all sea and sky?

>>121735582

there are wheels planned for implementation, there's a placeholder block for it already, they don't work yet though. you can make 'wheels' with spinblocks covered in rams. you can also make a land vehicle if you're lua-savvy by making a hovercraft with thrusters/props.

functionally speaking, it's all sea and sky for now. i can't really see much benefit to land vehicles to be honest, most of the world is water, i guess if you wanted to make something that acts like a boat but didn't want to have to deal with bouyancy it might be worth a go.

>>121730428
Are those hydrogen torps why

So how would i control wheels from a cockpit if they are connected to pistons/rotors ?

>>121736032
Most of Neter is water.

There's support for other planets, and it's entirely possible there's an official land based map down the pipeline

Good to know. Maybe if and when land vehicles become a thing they'll add locations with more land?

Question2, is there a cost to building things or is it similar to a "Creative mode" where you can build whatever the hell you want?

There's a vehicle designer, where everything is free and you can spawn enemies to fight

The campaign is resource based.

I got frustrated with scale on a destroyer I was working on, so I decided to stick a torpedo launcher on my gunboat instead.

>>121738268
put firing constraints so you don't shoot your torpedos into your hull

>>121738456
This ain't my first torp rodeo, m8. That said, I'm still tinkering with the payload. 2frag+1explosive seems to work pretty well, but I'm concerned that the frags are getting stopped by shields below the waterline.

Anyone know how to get Anti-missile missiles to fire in FtD> I tried using an ACB but it didnt seem to detect hostile missiles

>>121739527
You need missile warners connected to your AI to detect the missiles

>>121739527
You need a missile warner connected to a mainframe on the same channel as the interceptor launchers, I think. That's in addition to the ACB of course

>>121717073
Maybe someone will be kind enough to share some more codes

>>121739769
>>121739816
had a missile warning system and it said it was connected

>>121697637
Test it on a flying squirrel and find out.

>>121740716
press the test button on the controlling ACB. If the interceptor doesn't fire then the MCB is outside of your selected range OR the ACB isn't trying to fire weapons.

>>121698382
>literal JIDF edit
>on an unoriginal edited anti-Plebbit pic

Yep, it's Tumblr again.

>>121740716
the missile warner is basically a "camera"

you need to place them around your ship with free line of sight, in all orientations (they have about 45 degrees of field of view). if the warner isn't physically pointing towards a missile it can't detect it.

the laser warner however can detect laser hits in a big AOE around it, so that can be right next to the AI if you want.

if you're low on resources, put two missile warner on a spinner: one pointing up and one forward. this should cover most angles

>>121736457

As soon as blaneds, I'll open up the server again.

What've you made using harpoons, /ftd/?

>>121744919
nothing because they basically don't work

>>121744672
Will those of us kicked from the group for inactivity be able to rejoin when that day comes?

>>121744919
i once managed to hit one of those crazy chickens
it didn't matter much because i was shooting barrages of over 40 different kinds of misiles, so the chicken exploded

>>121745169
What? They work fine. What's your problem with them?

>>121745243
Yes. No one was kicked for inactivity. I have only kicked people from the group because the old server was given to Clang's hands and the new one was more of a test thing. It has been running for about 3 months now, and the results are ... inconclusive. Performance can drop on a whim, client saving is no longer a thing, Keen finds more ways to fuck with us every update.

Let's hope that when blaneds, MP fixes actually come. Markel is a cheeky cunt.

Oh, I just assumed that to be the case.

It is amazing that every single update breaks more things than it adds or fixes. I remember the week we had no production capabilities, followed immediately by the week we had no lights.

Or the time picking up items crashed everyone to desktop

>>121741975

they don't require line of sight, you can put them inside and they work fine.

one missile warner on a boat facing upwards covers all angles of approach save the distance of it above the waterline, which is negligible, you never really need more than that. for an aircraft just put one facing forward and one backwards.

>>121748041
you want me to post a picture of the ship I described losing or the moment it caused me to lose a save?
Or do you want me to load up FtD, make another ship and attempt to lose a save again?

Nice.

>>121748070

ammo barrels only damage the vehicle they're on. you can't use them as a weapon.

you can, like some crazy anon did earlier, make a box in the front of your ship and fire safety fuse'd frag missiles into it, then ram it into the enemy ship. that works. it's retarded, but it does work.

>>121748459
which of the two options involves you sending a bug report to Nick?

>>121748459
Post a pic of the ship.

>>121749096

Making a planet to orbit cargo hauler, I love asymmetrical designs, but engines may be where I draw the line.

Not sure if I feel comfortable with this idea, works great, but it's an embarrassment to real world physics.

God, I really want some basic engine physics.

>>121749493
>not saving stuff
you brought this on yourself

>>121749597
that would be fine in my opinion

if the ship was vertical

>>121749597
I'd be okay if they just implemented a speed or power use penalty for asymmetric engines (representing the thrust control system balancing the thrusters out). It would reward balanced systems without totally fucking over artships.
