They start providing thrust once you reach the point atmo thrusters stop providing thrust. So you use the atmos till they reach their limit then you use the ions.

silky smooth 5gb of vram usage

Even though the PC power needed is fucking crazy, planets are sweet.

>>122162835
if gravity is high enough, there is a middle section where both ions and atmosphere thrusters lack a lot of power. 1g+ planets look good for hydrogen thruster use.

From what I've observed of the Saberoids the best defense against them is to just dig a moat around your base and line the walls with turrets.

you'd need to have some nice power setup to hold the town up. Solar and batteries are best, reactors if you're lazy.

>>122169743
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, though that's because it runs well on my machine and I've been looking forward to any kind of game with such a huge scale.
It's like Space Engine but with something to do.

>>122169743
I don't have a shitter computer so pretty great. Crashes a bunch when I tried playing multiplayer though. Been running fine with no issues in single.

Currently dismantling my lander and building my base at the base of a plateau in the dark but I set up some comfy as fuck lighting.

If you clip solar panels intro the ground, by placing the on the edge of a station block embedded in the ground, they'll get LoS to the sun during the night.

>>122169743
I didn't thought it would run that bad.

How the fuck do you land the planetary lander without crashing?
I hold spacebar parallel to the ground and still crash and die

>>122170893
Then you don't have enough thrust-to-weight. Build more engines or decrease the mass.

>>122170893
Fly it like a plane; pull up to slow down until you're at a hover, then slowly descend.

Also, if you gotta go fast, face the ground and hold spacebar so your large thrusters are going the direction you want.

my rig is running at around 45fps @1920x1080 regardless of whether my graphical settings are set to high or low at 15km view distance.

the only thing I found by twiddling with settings in game tanking my frame rate was foliage density increased to retarded levels but setting it to a low value doesn't affect frame rate that much.

using
>i7 4790 non k
>GTX 980
>12GB DDR3 @1600MHz

one of the CPU cores hits 57% usage rest use around 15~30%, the GPU usage fluctuates often hitting 99% but mostly just sits around 65~70% usage often dipping to 44%.

It looks pretty cool so far but needs to be optimized. The game keeps freezing and crashing in the load screen unless I tab out while it is loading, weird.

this makes for a really cool actual need for carriers now since a ion power carrier can dip into the gravity well enough to dump atmo fighters and then burn out.

or if you do it wrong then you got a giant carrier lawn dart.

But steering rovers is next to impossible. Mine always flip over.

>>122174509
Already verifying.

>>122174407
It would only have to dip to recover them, they can just freefall after launch until their atmo thrusters start working. Getting them back is trickier. The fighters could be fitted with the bare minimum ion thrusters needed to get back to the carrier, but trans-atmospheric capability compromises their effectiveness. Making the carrier capable of dipping into the gravity well is probably the better option.

>>122175738
Well, there are newtonian physics, but when you're in space you're not actually orbiting anything, you're just in space
and the speed limit imposed by the engine and the tiny spheres of influence on planets mean that slingshots and such are not really a thing
so in the end you just have to point at it and fire your thrusters till you hit max speed then turn off dampeners and drift there.

Gravity is a bit stronger than i thought.

Thought parking it up at 0.25 the ion engines would hold the ship.

It seems to be best to exploit the speed limit and burn torwards the horizon as soon as you realize that way the falling speed caps out since the rest of your speed is forwards.

Ive seen people make and design shit in starmade, spengies and FTD that shits all over what most actual engineers would come up with. Id certify some of the people in here as an honorary engineer.

Engineers biggest problem is that almost all of them have no actual experience using the things they are designing out in the field.

I don't know what kind of shit McDonalds-tier engineers you've seen, but if you think anything in any of these games comes close to real engineering work you're massively deluded. You're not an engineer for building digital Legos in an extremely limited and arbitrary simulation, holy shit. You're an engineer if you got a degree in an engineering field and work in the field, you are not an engineer because you designed a clangy mech in SE. First year courses in engineering shit all over whatever shit people have made in any /egg/ games.

>Engineers biggest problem is that almost all of them have no actual experience using the things they are designing out in the field

This happens, though it is hardly as common as you make it out to be. Also not sure what you are hinting, at, I am hoping you aren't hinting at playing /egg/ games = real life experience.

The gravitational acceleration increases as you get closer, luckily you don't have to worry about reading it since you have inertial dampening which opposes it automatically.

So you could switch inertial dampening on and off the moment you are in gravity's pull.

I have no clue how to read current altitude and speed however. Without an altitude reading it is possible to land if you know the speed at which your craft doesn't get damaged but it could take ages to land.

maybe there exists some exploit with antennas, lazer antenas, GPS coordinates, beacons and what have you for positional tracking but that could get too complicated.

Why the fuck are planets 120km?
52km was fine and much easier on the frame rate

>>122181227
Just pretend and use autopilot with a generous enough coordinates, and maybe sensors if you want it smooth at the landing.

>>122181238
Because people cried they wanted it bigger. 52km would have been more than enough, yes.

>>122181092
Yea if by "possible" you mean it would take 2 hours to make planetfall because the sim speed and frames would be less than 1.

I think you need to turn the turret off and on to reset it.

Do planets orbit around the sun or can i build a tower from one to the next?

>>122182614
Yes, you can build a bridge between one planet and another. Have fun trying to do that in survival, though.

Warbros Server here, copying from least ded.

Current server status: Up, but occasionally shaky.

To join up with us when planets, there's some prep work to be done. First of all, you need to get into the group. To do so, message Ced23Ric on Steam. This guy: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ced23ric

Also, to save yourself some loadtime, preload our mods.
You can subscribe the to collection here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375603526
There is a preload world (offline, creative) which you should start once to prod all mods to download: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529237944
You can also use that for offline building, blueprinting and then building on the serbian later. I don't care if you want this server to be vanila, it won't be. It's a shitload of mods, but they have been weighted and tested and they work. Half of them are tweaks and visual shit (no beacon glare, for example) anyway.

You will be invited to a group called "Warbros Space Engineers". That group works as a whitelist. Only people in that group will be able to join the server. That is so I can control better who has access and we don't get unwashed pubbies.

Quick rule overview:
- Don't be a dick.
- No megalomanic superbuilds, use offine creative for that.
- No grid spam, every ship/thing you build is a calculated physics object that eats performance. So, no drone swarms, eh?
- PvP is opt-in between two (or more) consenting parties. No ifs, no butts.
- Only one drill per player. Take the Large Ship Earthbreaker, it's a good drill. Why? Drilling kills the game for everyone. Simu speed drops like a white city girl taking a moonshine shot down South.
- Talk to me if you have issues. Don't just shitpost on /egg/, talk to me. I'll see what I can do.

>>122183050
Some general stuff:
- You are encouraged to make your own faction. Warbros will have one, auto-accepting peace treaties. You can apply to join us, but if you're not into building shit together and sperging out on TS3, this might not be for you. Buddy up with someone, make things happen.
- Warbros faction will not hold your hand. We'll hep if you are conveniently close and can spare the time/resources, though.
- The server will have some QoL addons, such as the helmet mod. Read the description and understand it. Protip: Turn of the glass reflection, set the shadow scale so there is no shadow and deactivate delayed movement.
- Another is Chat History. Type /ch to see the last 50 messages typed in /global. Might help with catching up.
- Also, Build Info, which gives you information about blocks you're placng. Turn it on/off with /buildinfo in /global chat.
- There's only one respawn ship, the Sparky. It has all you need to survive, some mats, beacon, solars, nuke reactor, refinery/assembler. Spawn in one of those and set out to meet the cold void. Keep in mind that Sparkies cannot land on planets because lol thrust.
- There will not be a Starter Zone for new players, unless you make and maintain one. We won't.
- Every time I log off, I will make a copy of the server save. The server is set to autosave every 30 minutes. Recovery of items might be tricky. Make blueprints of your shit - Ctrl+B.

You might want to grab the Warbros UI, too. See through menus and generally improved visibility and an increased G Menu size.

Planets are placed manually. They are in no way procedurally placed and generated. When you load a map with planets, it's because keen or whoever placed them there.

They're also hard to see for some reason. I started spawning planets all over and once I had the atmosphere backdrop instead of space I started noticing them.

Did anyone else notice they nice new music and the new gatlings sfx? I almost like more these two changes over planets

Jump drive fx too, you actually can tell a ship has jumped and not just CLANGED out of existence now.

If I already have an asteroids world will I be able to find planets if I fly far enough?

No. They have to be spawned in or load a new world with planets.

Robocraft: In about a year or two when Freejam 'may' have undone their damage. MAY have.
Machinecraft: Whenever. Make it less dead.
Space Engineers: If you're prepared to take the risk of downloading your neighbour's ram
From the Depths: If you don't want to wait for more updates. Actual combat is actually nice.
Starmade: If you're masochistic or something, I guess
Besiege: I'd say this if you're feeling lazy.

Spengies cannot into really big ships without melting your PC.

I'm afraid my dick is long enough so that I don't have to overcompensate it.
Besides, I'd have to rebuild the entire forward section to extend it and I can't be bothered to do so.
FtD-like building when?
Bigger copy-pasting selection areas when?

>>122203142

>spend 10 minutes handplacing planets on asteroids start so you get multitude of fucking cool enviroments like an alien planet which gets solar eclipse by its moon, has a tiny earthlike moon and a titan one

God damn it.
Would anyone be up for hosting an /egg/ server for spengies?
I just want my fill of planetary faction warfare.

Sounds like you need to get good at hiding shit.
You literally have giant fucking planets, how hard would it be to dig out a cavern in a mountain and hide your shit there?

>>122204092
What do you want instead? Waking up to all your shit being rekt after being offline raided? Being paranoid and hiding so you might aswell play alone?

I don't understand what's wrong with opt-in PvP.

>>122203230
but anon you're never gonna make it look like your reference if you copy paste cubes around like it's Robocraft.
