Wew this is an unprecedented level of shitposting.
Also, if anyone else plays ChoDE I'd like to ask what stock materials one should use for armor. I'm using an outer layer of boron for protection against lasers and an inner layer of aluminium. Is this adequate or should I use something else?

>>166545807
Best against lasers is aramid fiber for weight optimized, nitrile rubber for cost. About 4.5 cm of aramid or 9 cm of rubber should do it off the top of my head. Boron with a spider silk spall liner makes excellent anti-kinetic armor, but really the best thing is to just not use armor. Rely on laser point defense drones to keep enemy ordinance at bay, and send them your own in the form of missiles and mini drones.

What in the ever living fuck is going on?

I've got an idea.
Instead of doing the usual newfag thing and asking 'I want to do [x], which game', take the /egg/ games you've played/know about and say what they're good for.

>Algodoo
Literally any mechanism that can be made in 2D form, up to (and potentially beyond) computing systems if you spend enough time on it.

>Besiege
Messing around; simple mechanical things; structures that take physical damage from stress/collision.

>Infinifactory
L O G I S T I C S
and conveyor belts.
Basically factories.

>Machinecraft
Transformers/artbots that won't work in 'realistic' engineering games.

>Scrap Mechanic
Same as Machinecraft but way more simplistic.
Does have sensors though, which is okay I guess.

>Space Engineers
Spessships and some level of robotics with extreme caution, collision damage included.

>Children of a Dead Earth
Ultimate autism, down to the material your autism is made of, the thickness and radius of it, how fast your autism spins, and the neutron flux of your autism.

IGG GAMES HAS AVORION ITS HAPPENING

What does /egg/ think of MHRD?

http://store.steampowered.com/app/576030

I haven't played it through yet but I understand it's basically the first few chapters of nand2tetris, as a game.

I got my money out of avorion, but I'm starting to get bored because it's grindy and the combat is just holding down the fire button.

Some things weren't meant to become games and VHDL/Verilog is one of them.

>>166555328
>assembly lang programming: ok game
>HDL puzzles: not ok game

???

>>166545807
Depleted uranium or anything dense and cheap for actual armor, thin UHMWPE as a base, silica aerogel as cheapass outer.

>>166555501
Poor presentation can kill anything, anon.

>>166555501
Assembly is a good way to make programming fun because the syntax is as simple as possible and there's a very small instruction set to remember, most of which instructions do one thing at a time. As a result, it's easy to help players by highlighting instructions as they execute, showing PC counters, etc.

For hardware design, most games go for a visual representation like CONSTRUCTOR or Shenzhen I/O where you can see blinking wires and shit and players can get instant feedback on what they may be doing wrong.

On the other hand, HDLs are a tool to make hardware design more efficient, but it does so through the two languages with the ugliest syntax in the world and doesn't provide any feedback except waveforms and distorted-looking generated technology diagrams. It doesn't scratch that lego snapping itch and feels too much like shooting in the dark.

>>166556608
But all the graphical hardware designs are either stupidly simplistic or just plain casual. How are you supposed to do this kind of puzzle intuitively without going to the nitty gritty of horrible languages and interfaces? The only game that comes to mind that actually manages to do the whole "implementing previous designs" gimmick kinda well is Jahooma's Logicbox.

>>166556909
>>166556164

>>166556909
You mean how to go from NAND to CPU?

>Visually arrange NANDs to make logic gates, put them in black boxes
>Use logic gates to make FF, put it in a black box
>Use logic gates to make Adder, put it in a black box
>Use Adder and FFs to make synchronous Adder, put it in a black box
>etc.

The critical thing you lose over a HDL is the ability to parameterize black boxes with generics e.g. for bus width, but as far as I can tell, MHRD doesn't let you do this either. And as shitty as it sounds, most of my EE class shitted through their CPU design assignment without writing a single generic and doing everything with fixed bus widths.

>>166548361
>It's really sad to see this happen. I'm sorry for you /egg/.
IT is, but it doesn't help that the general that must not be named doesn't have their own threads to shit up.

>person asks for some ksp shit

This kind of shitposting isn't new at all
And we used to yuripost constantly, especially FtDfags

This isn't new or alarming but it's still probably the Kerns.
I would also contest the idea of a discord or steam group being bad on the ground that we have three steam groups already and a gagglefuck of namefags already, and I've had excellent luck with offshoot communities of 4chan users on a personal note. I wouldn't be opposed to neetfleet becoming active as a community or Warbros steam group chat picking up.

In REM is it best to start off with my thruster arrangements, and then build the chassis?

>>166560965
Yes. Also worth placing your guns down with them.

Remember you can use panels as bulkhead construction as a replacement for struts.

It's getting closer to testing, I just hope the structure can hold itself up at the end.

I played Avorion all night last night. My take on it for any curious anons:
-Able to do whatever you want, but getting there is hard. I wanted to set up my own station and run a pirate organization, and I can. But getting the money to do this is difficult as fuck.
-Or you could create a trading/mining organization with armed escorts and fast, unarmed ships with fuckhuge engines
-Actually fun things to do in a space sandbox for once
-Combat is just holding down M1 but that's not a negative thing to me, since I'll be playing in RTS mode with multiple ships whenever possible
-Love the ship builder, but thruster placement and module placement only slightly matters
-No actual engineering, just /svgg/

currently it is far too easy to just locate the nearest bodies of water and use them as convenient spots to begin your isolation process, preventing enemies from getting to your base in the early game, and forcing them to attack you from chokepoints in the late game, but what if there were enemies of higher evolution factor that could reproduce in water and attack by sea? they'd also be a threat to your tanker ships, maybe because of the extremely useful naval logistics that are now available to you the game should also force you to take great care so you don't lose a massive ship load plus the ship itself at sea, instead of being cheap investments like trains, tankers could be massive price sinks

>>166567707
I can't quite make out the essential stuff from the forum post, bad post organization.

Can you explain it to me?

I also think that the enemies in factorio are not very well tuned
It becomes trivially easy to defend yourself against them late game if you put any thought into it, but for me mid-game tends to be the hurdle with them; either I'm not yet prepared and end up putting up a desperate makeshift defense or I'm pushing them back past easily defensible points

That is similar to sorting setups used in industrial settings; you'll constantly see them on How It's Made.
However, those sorters also move vertically, and usually let the items travel parallel to the "filter".

Really no excuse to make flying feel like gliding on ice, no matter what.

I understand how space makes slowing down a bit hard, but they could have made it so you could place main drive thrusters backwards, so you could slow down at a decent fucking rate without needing to flip around and fuck with that for a good 30 seconds.

Every damn time you move anywhere. At all.

Either that or an automatic flip/burn function that makes the game momentarily shut off your engines, spin the ship around to point in exactly the opposite direction, and then turn the engines back on so you don't go slewing off course.

Not really. Hammers chipping is a myth IMO. Worked around hundreds of guys swinging hammers thousands of times a day for years and it's never happened. The device was a sturdy flat board of unknown plastic-like material with a hole bored through it.

You'd think any scientist worth his salt would have tested the balls in a lab to far beyond whatever punishment a kid with a hammer could inflict.

No. I've done it myself. It mainly depends on what material is used in the hammer and the relative stiffness of what's being struck.

>>166637061
Basically, it goes like this:

Red is the counter part.
Constant puts out A(1)
"<" decider does A<60updates/second check, dumps result in A then feeds it to itself, forming self-resetting clock.
Once A hits 59 the two "=" deciders fire A and B respectively, first goes into another clock, second goes into multiplier to "pulse" some other variable.
<extend-o-clock>
Now the second clock, which checks A<10, that is only run in pulses, feeds A into the multiplier and display control circuit (orange) which pulses the current "time" to the "=" decider below.
Multiplier splits constant signal flow into pulses so the third wouldn't run constantly. It also connects it's input to other multipliers downstream to carry the "B" pulse.
The decider below pulses the third clock when the second hits 9.
Go to <extend-o-clock>

Orange is the display control circuit.
Rightmost decider checks if clock's A=0, since I haven't found a way to make the circuit "see" when clock is at zero. If it is at zero, it fires value C(1) at "zero" decider.
"Zero" constant feeds control values at 1 to decider below. It checks Each=C, then dumps Each values into other circuit that's connected to display.
Unlike "zero", deciders for other digits look for second clock's "A" value, checking Each=A, constants' values are equal the digit it represents, i.e. control values are 5 for "5" digit, If current time equals it's constants' value, it dumps control signals into the display circuit.

Yellow is the actual display.
Pairs of lamps have separate control values, i.e. "0" for top, "3" for bottom and "6" for central part.

I hope you'll understand enough of my semi-conscious babble to at least reverse-engineer it.

Now, I think that sloped blocks have the same health as regular blocks, but at a lower weight/mass, if that's true though, with the fact that the blocks have less available options in how to deform, it might make them more sturdy on impact.

And I mean, it's more shit thrown at the enemy anyway, and I mean generally speaking, more shit = more damage.

What the fuck turret rotation locks good for?
Sounds like a downgrade.

Thing works pretty well. Still balancing length/components/grav gens etc and I have to leave for uni soon.

The actual reason I used this armour design was to cover the center without using a full block of space, as well as it's light.

With this very rough setup they get to ~260m/s and can blow a hole almost straight through my light large block ship (granted, it's not very tough).

I think if I wasn't using any warheads (currently 1 or 2) then it'd have to be much faster but would be overall more effective.

>>166646301
atm it is, will probably be balanced later on

>>166646301
if you want to hide your beefy +5000% energy consumption 10 range legendary avorion laser inside your ship and pretend to be the goddamn space battleship yamato, the rotation locks is pretty handy

not useful for anything else

Better do some barrel to avoid explosion if you are moving, just wheel blocks might help.

For the anon that wanted to know about Lobotomy Corp, don't bother. There's better management games elsewhere. This one has no tutorial or explanation, only vague hints in hilariously broken english. I can post a video that you can click around, but there's nothing really to look at.

I don't play spengies much, is it possible to change wheel speed?
If it is, you might want to change the first wheels to be slightly slower and have a gradient of increasing wheel speed for maximum friction
I have no idea if that's a problem for you, just making sure you have the suggestion in case it is

Depends on how much the devs allow building, I suppose.

Nice.

I never got around to finishing this because of the space constraint. I heard it wasn't actually possible to do some of the latter challenges without cheating, is that true?

To throw stuff is useless because the speed is below cap speed, and if you put thrusters, it will damage the suspension blocks or the wheels, and also
>keen physics
The wheel spinning force can make it wobble and the projectile get stuck in mid barrel and explode, but if you set the speed to 0 and handbrake them with 0% friction, you have a decent rail to avoid the projectiles coliding with the barrel walls, that was i was sugesting, so you can shoot even at movement, or while rotating.

>I heard it wasn't actually possible to do some of the latter challenges without cheating, is that true?
not true, just need to find more optimizations, in latest levels its all about response speed

in one of them I had to make a cell of a shift register to give its input instead of its output for a couple ticks until it stabilized its output properly otherwise the signal would be too dephased

Met a pirate boss myself. Try investigating distress signals. You'll know when one shows up.

He dropped a module that gives +5 any turret!

a-anon

but in all seriousness it's not worth it shit's firing very fast (I plan the final thing to go faster than the above version) and I'm going to outfit a big cruiser with them so fast rotation/deceleration is no issue

There will be a barrel of sorts, but moreso a tube to go around each missile port. I also mean to have the openings be covered by hangar doors for protection when not firing.

Thanks to resource memery is there any reason not to use a steam engine in FTD?

For a very small rocket, is pure thrust or thrust/weight ratio more important?

Neither. What matters is thrust to net mass.
So take the mass of the rest of the rocket, add it to the mass of the engine, and divide thrust by that. There's your magic number you're optimizing for.
