How are you builing your engines so you dont have to carry shittons of fuel?

Im experimenting with this, but its too bulky for now

>>125783945
I think localized resources should be optional. Like survival in SE.
But otherwise, fuel, metal and scrap are needed on every ship now.

>>125784793
Fuel isn't that big of an issue really, just cram little 1x1 various places. pic related has 6000 fuel which means it has a whopping 36min of uninterrupted boating and it's using 2 super chargers (and one carburettor) and a fuel injector setup. I just plan to have a fuel carrier with a group of them at all times.

36min of in combat fuel I should say, it's several hours when not.

ALSO THAT BOAT HAS 33 HOURS OF FUEL WHAT ARE YOU SAYING. You need to chill on the fuel dawg.

>>125784793
Wait I didn't see you had more engines, how much power do you actually need?

Also if you're building something that sails actually level then you could put a fuel refinery on it since oil containers are significantly better than fuel containers and can be converted at 2fuel:1oil conversion rate for ~7fuel/s. Space consuming to do that, 1:1 isn't as much but it's still a 3x3 area that's pretty not safe.

So I just bought FTD, and jesus fuck I have no idea what I'm doing. I think I could use this boat as a starter ship in the campaign, but weapons confuse the shit out of me. It's not in this pic, but I have three broadside large cannons that I want to fire in a group, but it seems I can only ever control one cannon out of all the cannons present on the ship.

>>125787320
Fire control block block in Control block. Also, simple weapons are useless, go select something from prefabs

>>125787320
>jesus fuck I have no idea what I'm doing
Get used to it, you spend a lot of time learning how to build stuff, how everything works, how to make things that actually function well, then beating the first campaign enemy. I have 80 hours in the game but I've only just started going past the DWG in the campaign Although I may just be shit at the game. Now I have to redo everything for the nuengines and supply ships.

>>125787320
depending on size of boat you might need a weapon controller, which lets you control every weapon on the boat regardless of distance. It's in the control section.

>Select all boats.

>>125787320
Most ships are AI controlled, that changes your designs because the AI is weird in both driving and firing.

>>125786010
>>125786631

So basically, an engine with lots of superchargers running at low RPM?

>>125787059
Yes I have a huge engine in the front guzzling around 3.5 fuel per cylinder

Its just a plane in wich im trying diferent things because I havent tried the new engines yet and would like to see whats the best equilibrium between power and efficiency.

Ill test on a boat I have the refinnery idea, havent tried it yet

This engine is compact and should fit in the area that you had in the picture earlier. Runs cool and is easy to exhaust as pictured. Honestly if you want much better fuel efficiency than this you need to move to much larger stuff which I don't think you want to do.

>>125796969
They do constant giveaways, though. The altimeter and speedometer were free if you logged in last christmas.
If you bought tonnes of glass a few days ago you'd now have the same amount of glass without having to pay GC.

Oh god, these new shapes are giving me an idea. I could make a bot with mostly corner slopes which weigh almost nothing and still have almost the same armour. It'd be a tiny bot with a lot of health.

Actually, that's kind of sad, isn't it?
Freejam has limited Freedom to the extent my only bright idea is to make a bot out of weird shaped cubes.

>>125796969

Well, for now they work even if they are enclosed, but later they might need air behind them, like propellers/jets.

You can be artsy AND tough, but it takes time and patience to figure that one out.

>>125802230
Missiles obvs, would only poke like, 2 out of the deck, perfect. 2 packs of 56 missiles is a big punch to anything, I don't care who you are.

Bote scrub here, how exactly do air pumps work? Do I just put them into an enclosed space that I want to be buoyant like the bilge or what? Do they require a power source?

>>125802386
With the new updates, missiles are not that good, I think.
They cost a lot of ammo, and therefore metal, they fire slower, metal is resistant to explosions and ER armor just negates them.

>>125802561
just try it out fuckface

>>125802561
You just put them in a closed room and they provide lift underwater, with center of volume as center of lift. They stop working when the room is breached.

>>125802763
I see, thanks anon.

>>125802617
Missiles were kinda OP.

The space needed to put in two decent advanced cannons gives you space for dozens upon dozens of missiles, they're also easier to protect, don't really need turrets nor are they as heavy. You can literally stick them on a piece of floating wood and rek half the shit out there without much problems.

It's also weird, if you think about it, canons are complex and missiles are simple-completely the opposite to real life.

>>125802763
>>125802984
They don't even have to be enclosed spaces. You can put them at the bottom of an open deck and they keep the water out as long as the top of your deck is above the water line.

>>125802316
>artsy and tough

If you want the absolute optimal build then either it's art in itself or it can't be arty.

When trying to join megashields together with minimal numbers of chassis blocks and taking up as little space as possible while still allowing six shield-mounted SMGs to have good firing arcs it gets a bit hard to do art.

But, in general, art is possible.

Oh, also, Robocraft is running incredibly loud even on normal settings.
I'm not an expert on knowing what's wrong with Robocraft.

It is, however if I was you I'd

-beef up the bridge
-beef up the smoke stack
-switch the top rear facing gun turret with lighter AA guns.

I'm not really a fan of the "side deck" upfront either but I guess to each his own and it's not really an Issue. Nice ship all in all.

On a side note does anyone know of any youtube let's player that makes ships like this? You know, "realistic" battle ships, cruisers, distroyers, frigates or whatever, and not just some monstrosity sub, attack helicopter, space cruiser and jet all in one that looks like it was made by an LSD tripping faggot?

Are FtD railguns good yet? They always take so long to recharge.

>>125813257

Thank you, anons. I'll get started on painting her soon, but is there a way to get more billowy smoke to come out of the stacks? The stuff I'm getting at full throttle is really faint and I get the feeling it can be done better.
>is this a kongo 1914 with an extra turret or one of the succeeding British BCs made after kongo
Good eye! She's definitely got some Kongo in her, though I wasn't really aiming to make a replica with this build. Maybe I could drop the extra turret and submit it to that WW2 campaign that some of the forums guys are working on?
>-beef up the bridge
Superstructure and detailing have always been my weak spots. Any tips on how to improve what I've got?
>-beef up the smoke stack
I made them a little thicker just now. Any better?

Yeah, that might be for the best. I was also thinking of sticking some light AA mounts somewhere amidships, which would probably be a good idea regardless.

>>125803274

those splitters are bad. when you split to get 1 line into 2 on the belt, place the splitter on the belt just like you did, then just curve the end that comes out back into the belt immediately. you can get rid of three belts in those configurations and waste less space for the same result.

also use underground belts to go under walls, load/unload the train outside the walls and then have the containers unload themselves via inserters to belts that go under walls. having a gap basically means the walls do nothing, aliens will just go around them.

Is Nick ever going to get rid of custom cannons? Advanced custom cannons are fuckhueg in comparison.

jesus christ

I know that robocraft is scrubshit but I play it to blow off steam.

The math on SMGs now is absurd, the lowest end SMGs take just 3 seconds to completely destroy the largest MEGA-EP. That's 240 robot rank worth of gun destroying 7813 robot ranking of shields before plasma can fire twice. In the barchart of "How fucking ridiculous is this shit" railguns don't appear.

What this effectively means is that the only viable forms of robot now are SMG gunbeds, a staple of robocraft design anyway, and plasma bombers because the SMG gunbeds have a hard time hitting them.

You can not build defensively, the game now purely revolves around out-dps'ing your opponent and it doesn't matter how big or small you are, the only thing that matters is how many SMGs you can lose before your DPS begins to drop.

does anyone even play space engineers anymore

So gauge coolers reduce cooldown but what do recoil dampeners do? I know they are supposed to reduce recoil, obviously, but what does recoil actually do?

Recoil is a force in the opposite direction. If your boat isn't stable enough, a high recoil on a fast shooting gun will cause your boat to tip, and potentially capsize.


Now for my question; I just loaded up FTD after months away and fooling around with the custom cannons. I can't seem to get a grasp on the reload portion of them. I have autoloaders with inputs on them, and clips attached to the autoloaders. My clips seem to fill much faster than my autoloaders can actually load the gun to fire. So when they say it's a "2.0 second delay due to complexity" is that 2 seconds the delay for the autoloader to put the shell into the barrel to fire? Or the delay to put a shell into the clip?

Basically, am I waiting on the shell to move from clip -> autoloader -> breech ? So to have continual firing I would need Barrel cooldown to equal combined autoloader cooldown(s)?

To clarify, the inputs are on the clips, not the autoloaders. I'm not direct loading the autoloaders, I see the shells collecting in the clips.

>Literally kids

How old do you think the people you play against are?

>>125844393
You can direct load the autoloader as well, it just pushes them into the clips.

The complexity thing isn't two seconds, it's two TIMES, multiplication. Go to your ammo customizer and in the middle column along the bottom you see time to move ammo to clip and time to load gun from clip. The time to load gun from clip is what it says, multiplied by the complexity. Each autoloader has it's own timer that's based on this.

>>125846559
That was it - I realized it as I was taking a shower that it wasn't the autoloader time, but a multiplier. I was baffled how people were doing small AA guns without fuckhuge autoloading. Derp moment, thank you for the clarification. Also noticed that the amount of clips with shells in it attached to the autoloader lowers the modifier too.

Gonna have a barter system with the value of goods determined by a flat value (based on rarity), modified by current stock and recent purchases. All done programmatically; select what you want to buy, toss the value in goods into a free-use storage container and the system will swap out the inserted materials with what you ordered.

They are meant to be for a custom campaign faction. The idea is that the country was founded by colonists who didn't bring any advanced technology with them, because the idea that eschewing he trappings of modern interstellar civilization would result in a more wholesome society in their new colony happened to be in vogue at the time.

As a result they've only just reached an industrial era technological level. Presumably half of the original colonists died of starvation and/or dysentery in their first year.

Extensive research on FTD railguns has created the following result:
They are still completely useless.
The only use for them is still just powder-less cannons for bombers and fighters. That's it. 18mm isn't even a good enough size for a squirrel killer, and even then it needs high RPM to do any damage, which a railgun just cannot manage. At larger calibers they barely have an effect at all. They are useless.

Alternatively, you can name the translocator "Translocator <F:Jordan>" and it will move things from Jordan to the Translocator.

So I observed the grid growth on the server. We are approaching 90 grids. I can delete it down to about 70, but this number will only go up in the future, there's no way around it.

I can run the game world on my laptop at 1.00 simulation speed with those 70 grids, and at 0.95 with 90 grids. Just like the current server does. Sometimes I drop lower, but these dips I get locally are related to my client load, such as when I approach a planet and it renders the surface.

That being said, we are kinda fucked it seems. I cannot bar you guys from making more grids, as that's what Spengies is about. You build a base, you build a fleet. You have a weldship, a miner, a combat ship, some in-progress projects, and so on. This multiplies for every player.

For example, I have about 3 or 4 grids to my name. We currently have 37 registered players on the server, out of 94 people on the access list. Extrapolated with 2.5 grids per player, to take shared grids into account, we are already looking at ~90 grids for those who play now, and ~230 grids if everyone would play with that measure. It is not unrealistic to expect a group of 50 players to reach about 150 grids.

For comparision, the old world had 95 registered players and about 280 grids. The server ran at 0.2 to 04. simulation speed with dips into lower regions.

It seems like, as long as client and servers have linked simulation speed, we will experience performance losses that make playing less enjoyable. What we need here is a dedicated server suite that a) runs multicore, b) has improved physics calculations (as wizard anon showed, it is possible, no matter how quick and dirty his approach was) and some way to manage grid growth.

For the time being, I can only ask you fine people to keep the grids down. If you build something you don't use and just want to try out, BP it and store it for later use. I have no way of policing it, because as soon as I become the fun police, you are - rightfully - gonna leave. Thanks.

How rough are the merge blocks being on the ships?

>>125870253
So, if it all possible, eliminate redundancies.

Are you in faction with someone? Build one mining ship, share it.
Are you at a communal base? Make ships that everyone can use.
Do you want to build a carrier? Make one fighter, as a proof of concept, rather than building five.
Avoid multiple ships to speed up a process. Rather than five small EB mining drones, build one large thing and call it a day.
Have a concept for a drop pod? Don't fire them off into space unattended.
See that blockhole? Don't throw ships or yourself into it.
Don't put deactivated ships in gravity onto a surface, tie them down with landing gear, maglocks or merge blocks.
Parking a ship around your base? Don't leave it connected, making a moving object fight a stationary one.
If at all possible, use merge blocks for your large ships.

XX
[-]

X = merge block
[ = connector

Set the connectors to "disabled" on the Strength setting, and you can turn that on and off, for a non-permanent conveyor when you unmerge your large ship for use.

Essentially, help me and your fellow speesmen to reduce the physics calculations.

Merging reduces grid count. Merging a ship to a station is double good, because it reduces grid count AND turns a physics rendered grid into a stationary one.

We're going root server now so we have the core(s) to ourselves, with multicore potential should Keen ever unfuck their shit. Also activity logging, web server status for all involved, automated backups, crash log saving, and other nice shit.

But what about the process of merging? Is it safe?

Argiehulk died in a catastrophe of that kind.

For example, this is the Drill Pullman, merged to my HQ. It's a stationary part of the HQ now, reducing grid count by 1 and disabling physics for that grid. If I want to go mining, I just disable the merge block and fly off. If I want to dump ore or refuel my reactors, I lock the connector.

For quick drop offs between runs, I use a second connector, without the merging business. Just connect, dump, disconnect, fly off.

What the fuck, all my shells just bounce off their shields and then I get rammed to pieces. Some of them seem to have nucannons now as well. Literally can't into this game, every kind of ammo I try, sabot or HEAP or solid warhead or HESH, just ends up doing nothing.

Took the liberty of redesigning using new things

I then decided almost all grey was too boring even if it was accurate and painted a load of black over it, not sure if it looks better like this or not.

There were 15 colours in the game before the update. Now there are 16 except there's less colour diversity and the colours are too bright.

That might make sense if it transforms into a regular gun in mecha mode, assuming it transforms at all.


However, I'm pretty sure robots don't need it either.

Until Freejam adds variations in SMGs like long-range SMGs or they make railguns not a pile of shit I don't think dedicated anti-air is going to be much different to normal bots.

All you need is an agile SMG craft.

Shoot them in small bursts. Then use your speed to get to their crash site and rip them apart.

But as long as you can aim and move not straight you can beat every bomber out there. At least you could back when I played months ago. It used to be fun.

Got my old glass mega out the garage again. It appears that nerfing the health SEVERAL TIMES and then nerfing glass TWICE and then nerfing heal rate to be at 3-6x worse and then releasing movement types that are objectively better in all ways wasn't enough.
Now it goes at about ~70 generic speed instead of 130 or so generic speed.
It used to be the fastest mega I've seen outside of megas that you can even call megas.

I'm going to bastardize the poor child with rods to see if that makes it any faster.

>>125886826
yes, actually.

>>125887304
Glass now has the same armor and same weight as all other blocks.
Whenever you can use aero rods, you should.
They have the same health as the blocks you would use and weigh less than any other option.

Paint is more or less done, and I also tried fixing up the masts some. It's not perfect, but I think it's a pretty decent Kongo now.

>>125887434
They have less connections, though.
It's perfect for this case, however, as all the glass serves almost always as just a connection between one point and another.

>>125887803
Oh yes of course, less connections is a given.
In all cases where you don't need (or don't want) extra connections, aero rods are advisable though.

Just because you can get away with low effort engineering doesn't mean the game doesn't have any.

My vehicles take a LONG time to build, even though I pretty much exactly know where to place what right from the start.
