More robits

Why the fuck can't i connect to my ammo controller? There's no caliber limit and the customizer says it only requires 1m racks.

The ammo controller shows up in the list but it gives an error sound when i want to select it.

>>135079528
Pictures of your turret setup Anon, otherwise we can only troubleshoot so much. Are your ammo intakes connected correctly onto clips, which are connected to autoloaders, which are connected to your firing piece via 6-way connectors?

No, this does not work. The only defense against torpedoes is indiscriminate spraying of flares or smoke for IR and laser-guided torps, respectively. That and either going really fast or getting out of the water.

It just gives an error sound when i want to assign it.

As for your other questions; yes everything is properly connected. There isn't a part that states it's disconnected.

>>135080598
I know it might be a silly question, but do you have ammo?

>>135080598
>resolution for ants.png
And I'm not positive, but something with that many shell modules and no gauge limit probably takes something higher that 1m clips and autoloaders.

>>135081231
But it says 1m right here.

>>135081525
Are you using autoloaders? If you are, try using bigger ones, or putting the ammo feeders directly on the firing piece

>>135081525
No, go to your firing piece and give it a preferred diameter
Otherwise your gauge increasers might be making it too large

>>135080598
Green means it's already assigned to that controller. Are there any other error popups?

>>135081931
Nah, it just says x amount of seconds since last shell received when i hover over the input feeder.

>>135082257
Looking at the gun picture, I'll assume it's a 6-barrel 8gauge gun, so it's 150mm caliber more or less, a 150mm bullet with 16 modules can't fit in a 1m autoloader, make the bullet smaller, or use bigger autoloaders, or put the ammo feeders on the firing piece

>>135082257
Hover over cannon itself and screencap

>>135081905
I did this, to no avail. I'll try >>135081851 next.

And that seemed to do the trick. This is weird, even though the customizer tells me i only need 1m clips, the thing works in a 4m autoloader and clip.

Oh well, i'll fiddle around from there. Thanks a lot guys!

>>135082787
Just as a follow-up, are you sure your clips were installed the right way around? Sounds stupid but you may have put them in wrong and it's only working with 4m because you did it right that time around.

>>135083936
Nah, the shells it loads are fucking huge. And all the other parts were showing that they were connected properly.

That's one of the first things i check because when something doesn't work it's often because of disconnected parts.

Thanks for helping me out though!

>>135084364
Your cannon was bigger than you thought it was. This slider >>135081525 is just to help you crunch numbers, it doesn't actually change the bore of your weapon. In fact, you can use the same shell design with 18mm and 500mm cannons at the same time. Press Q while looking at the firing piece, barrel or gauge piece and set the max bore size to whatever you want.

I´m fucking around with military style mods in some alien desert, + shit like wings and realistic thusters. Sometimes some other fools join and we shit up the server by dogfighting and crashing into each other.

Some of the mechanics you get are highly interesting, for instance any kind of plane will need to have their center of thrust with their center of mass aligned, but you also need to put your main container on the absolute center of mass, since it changing weight will fuck you up otherwise.


Also, helicopters fly like actual helicopters and bombs don´t drop like actual bombs since there´s no drag. But if you go full StuKa with them you still hit shit. Can´t wait to make some cargo shit, and drop that using that tasty new parachute mod.

I think nasa are probably more swayed by results rather than a shiny display on their streams.

I love the fact it is well presented, rocket launches are worthwhile watching, and it's like an event when they try to land the booster. That shit is the future of spaceflight happening right in front of us.

I wonder if there's going to be another Pentagon Wars movie. There must be something to make a film about.

>>135155034
NASA themselves have to play media circus because when public interest drops their funding gets cut; I'm sure they appreciate good presentation, but my point was more that highly visible, flashy public displays are a great way to show everyone "hey, we get things done!"

>>135155234
I think the problem is nowadays that kind of bullshit is just the norm.

>>135143407
A lot of my killsats end up looking like this, because weapons in FtD usually end up linear. The problem is that it causes massive drag, even in space. If you make it teardrop- or triangle-shaped when viewed from the top, you'll have a nice drag-reducing front but still have a flat backside to fit goodies like propulsion, steering and heat decoys.

I come from just outside DC, in my area at least 75% of families have one or more people working for the federal government or federal contractors. I've heard some incredibly dumb stories, but the one that takes the cake actually comes from my uncle in Pascagoula, MS.

During Katrina some naval vessel (destroyer iirc, wikipedia gives nothing) broke loose from its moorings and ended up landing in some ecologically sensitive swamp area. My uncle was assigned to figure out how to get it out of there while leaving the environment "as it was before all this," or something to that effect. He was actually told that they wanted the swamp completely pristine after (a) a massive fucking hurricane, and (b) a destroyer chilling in there for months on end.

Half the promised features have been worked on and only a few released after the game came out.

titans is better, but it's not nearly enough of an improvement, and the price certainly isn't worth it unless you're a ks backer who got it free.

>>135164938
Does preorder-to-betatest count if it was before the official Early Access Steam feature launch?
Endless Space, and the other Endless games should qualify as not just successful Early Access games but also for really fucking good post-release support as well, adding new features for free and huge expansions for cheap.

>>135173390
I didn't do any of the other Endless games before official release, but Dungeon of the Endless was really good.

Very carefully

>>135195094
Weight means you'll slow down, what you need is a lower center of mass. See if you can shuffle your systems around, or, failing that, add a few lead blocks to your lowest extremities. Adding weight should be done carefully and in ways that maximises its influence.

Hydrofoils are legitimately downright broken. Just check out a couple of the White Flayer ships, a fuckton of armour than still goes sanic because of hydrofoils and jets.

>>135199330
Jets are power intensive and if you want to go fast you don't really have the luxury of efficient exhaust and turbo spaghetti. Together those will cripple an early game fuel economy.

There are plenty of Lightning Hood designs that feature prop-driven hydrofoils, with only the upper-end designs actually using jets. Their low tier missile sub achieves 25m/s with just props!

>>135199709
Hull design is the hardest part, but once you get the knack for the basic principles you'll only get better. There's also a minimum size for ships unless you build almost entirely out of wood or the expensive alloy blocks. Pic related is a 42m 'sniper' light destroyer, with cruise missiles and a 125mm railgun. It has a wood lower hull and makes extensive use of hydrofoils, a long fin keel and streamlining to even remain afloat, and rises a full 4m out of the water to achieve top speed outside of combat. It's still some of my finest work, that I built in some kind of idiot-savant trance. It's been updated with nucannons, the new engines and drag model required some slight changes but the hull itself, and the principles of sitting low in the water during combat to minimize target size, and rising out of the water with hydrofoils to increase top speed have been there from the beginning.

>>135200608
WF ships are broken because they spawn with full resource holds, and don't need to worry about fuel outside the battle they're about to partake in, otherwise they'd be utterly fucked, maybe even more so than the Lightning Hoods because of their obscene shield spam.

>>135201439
Fight cheese with more cheese. Make a docked vehicle that's just pure repair tentacles like the Grey Talon blimp.

If you want to go ultra cheese, small calibre gravitron rams are broken completely. They can send Judgements flying off with a few shots.

>>135201880
I put an Flying squirrel into orbit the other day using gravitron rams

>>135201880
Localized resources hit repair drones pretty hard. It doesn't matter much for the AI since they pretty much get free resources on tap, but if your design just leans on the tentacles patching up damage rather than avoiding damage in the first place you will burn through resource stores like crazy.

Do Graviton Rams actually serve a practical purpose against ships? They're OP as fuck against aircraft since those hits on trailing extremities will send them spinning out of control, but apart from keeping WF close-combat ships at arm's reach, is there any point to bouncing enemy vessels around?

>>135201439
I wish centralised resources actually worked. Instead of everything drawing straight from the resource fuel, my ships can still run out of fuel.

>>135202462
Flipping an enemy over gives you an easier time of killing the enemies vital stuff like engines and ammo.

>>135217151
They already have Lock-on missile launchers, and those are cancer of the highest caliber since we don't have any proper countermeasures. And on top of already being really easy to use and almost completely crippling any bot that can't hide fast enough with a full salvo, they reduced the lock-on time from around 3 seconds to 2. Copters using missiles are especially bad since they kinda hide just on the other side of a hill while locking on and then pop up to fire and then drop back down to recharge energy and auto-heal from any stray shots that might have plinked them.

I honestly don't feel like the proto-seekers will be too bad compared to missiles. Although if they do have the automatic charge-up beam talked about when they first started discussing the idea for it when they called it the proto-leech, it'll depend almost entirely on how good the beam is.

The proto-seeker homing isn't supposed to be very strong, and the projectiles are supposed to be I think about half as strong as smgs, so it'll likely be a good harassment or support weapon. It might see quite a bit of use on tesseracts and other quick fliers, since the shots basically have a slight aim assist so it will allow the pilot to focus more on movement and evasion while attacking.

i'd rather reload alternating specialized ammo types into the clips than use some kind of do-it-all ammo that kind of always hits the enemy but doesn't really do much. try using fewer modules for better volume of fire against the fast WF botes, maybe alternating flak/flak/fuse/gp with sc/he/he/gp. don't use inertial fuse with shaped charges; they are made to bypass armor and the fragments you end up with on a shield hit don't measure up to what you'd get by using frag modules instead

It's not too bad

This bote is 2 layers thick and it only comes in at...

11k blocks?
It's also fucking huge and has a rubber deck running the entire length

The largest ship I've made is this monstrosity, clocking in at 27k blocks. Currently got 17 fps from that shot.

I feel ya. This thing has 111 blocks, comes in at barely over 2k. On the plus side, it can take on nearly anything the DWG has that floats 1v1.

I dunno, my gunship design does alright barring LOMLs and Aeroflak all converging on it. Stays competitive to 16k ranking or so.

Aw shit. My 6 months of premium from the code leak the other day is just fukken gone. Which is weird because I still have the bots and their cosmetics, although I'm now afraid to dismantle them in case they've got it set to delete the number of the cosmetics included in the bundle as soon as they enter the inventory.

Anyone else's premium time just fucking gone? I'm assuming they somehow figured out which accounts didn't actually buy it and straight took the premium time away. I was kinda half expecting this to happen, but I figured it would happen the day of. When it didn't happen after a whole day, I thought they'd decided to just let everyone who had it keep it.

So I just got home after being gone for 2 weeks of next to no internet.

What non-updates did I miss for Spengies, and what if any updates were there for FtD?

>>135246860

I still have mine. Maybe they are going through their records to see who used it.

>>135246860

About 2 months in, don't know why or how. I should probably see a doctor, I can feel my body just giving up.

What's engineering? How do you engine something???

Is there some secret to making EMP shells actually hurt shields? Retaliator tears my units in half because a few dozen low caliber EMP shells pretty much insta-dunk my shields instead of bouncing off.

>>135256289
I was under the impression that EMP shells had to contact the hull to do damage. In any case, I have two recommendations:
>try inertial fuzes
>load up the Retaliator in vehicle designer and take it apart, seeing how it works

In that pic they look almost the exact same, wow.
Pic related, its the duster closer up.They still look somewhat the same.

in robuttkraft why would machineguns be the preferred weapon if this energy-drain system seems to encourage dumping all the energy you can in the quickest way that you can

like if you fire 5 smg's your energy drains slowly and you do low damage over time or you could jump in with 5 blasters, blow your load, and then scamper away instead

are machineguns very energy-efficient for the damage they do

>>135241918
HEAT are supposed to be anti-shield, I suppose. But they are so finicky. For one ship 20 pen might be just enough to fragment inside, but for another its too much..

>>135261786
what about frag as anti-shield? maybe all those fragments can aid in depleting the shield faster

>>135261740
Laser cannons can sustain continuous fire for a very long time. Their fire rate also isn't anything to scoff at when at zero energy.

Bursting isn't effective if it doesn't kill the enemy in one go, which it most likely won't.

>depleting the shield
Shields don't care about how many things they have to reflect, shells that go through do so because of rng that was put there to stop them from being too good..

KEK, pathetic

So I've got a small base in spengies along with a small miner, welder, and plane. What should my next goal be?

>>135256424
Turns out the Retaliator just sprays hundreds of AP40+ shells at the target until either enough EMP shells pierce through to take out the generator, or the rest of the sabot rounds getting through just disintegrate the entire region behind the shield, including the generator.
