It's breddy gud. It's somewhat lacking in the engineering department though. It's present, but you don't have much to tinker and fuck with beside placement and overall structure.
I'd say unless there is a general better fit for it, it can stay here.

>skywanderers
Isn't it basically Starmade?

>>168585643
No, it's somewhere between corneroids and starmade but without the emphasis on making your ship run. i'd say it's the closest we've ever been to minecraft in space.

Starmade = Gigantism, stacking unintuitive shapes of generic system blocks together in the smallest volume possible, entire ship is skin ontop of systems, feels empty and cold

Corneroids = Unfeasible to make giant ships (lack of symmetry tools, placing blocks as a player rather than from a build mode, thrusters need to align with center of mass), systems are preset blocks that have to be linked to your power grid with cables, small scale means comfiness but not much to do. spooky aleins

Starwanderers = Systems seem to be basic blocks you plonk down somewhere to magically make your ship fly without much consequence or thought, meaning you can make a ship that is basically 100% interior. seems to have a PROCEDURAL GALAXY WHERE YOU CAN GO ANYWHERE type of gimmick.

>>168586140
>magically make your ship fly
One of the videos mentioned that they want to make you need more thrusters with more mass

>>168586227
wow, impressive

>>168586227
that's basically what i mean. there doesn't seem to be any need to place down any blocks that actually make you rotate. you just slap on some thrusters where you want em and hop in the saddle

>>168586502
Honestly, I'd rather need thrusters in every direction.

>>168586552
does spengies take centre of mass into account yet?

i.e. if you have a ship like
||||---------------------|
where | is a thruster, it'll spin

>>168586552
I would personally like a mix of both the Corneroids method and something else. Starting out, you'd have to go full Squattin' Steve on it and control thrusters manually, but as you get more technology and materials, you can make systems which partially or fully take over the controls. First, systems that allow you to bind thrusters into simple key groups, then controllers that allow variable thrust based on input, then analog, then full automatic control. All of them entirely optional.

>>168589338
do you resort to making small ammunition factories at the walls of your fort or you just have a big ammo factory in the center stringing ammo to all four corners of the base

>>168589816
Singular ammo factory, fill them in manually when they're not important or just route in some belts and put inserters between each turret. Slow, but works.

>>168589143
I'm doing that too.
Having no solars is easy, you just gotta keep feeding your base with coal/oil.
No logibots is a little trickier, you have to plan your shit really well, because there won't be any bots to save your ass when the spaghetti gets you.
For the defense, make a chain of turrets and inserters fed from a central system like other anon said. Coming up with a good expandable design helps you too.
I hear flame turrets are good too, but I haven't gotten them yet.

>>168586802
Yes please, all of this. Optional systems like this are great.

If the shit is happening in front of you, how the electricity will chose you as a conduct?
Unless is above you there shouldn't be any issue.

>>168598191
What the fuck do you think is the ground? It's conductive, and even though it may be just a little conductive, all those thousands of watts have to go somewhere, and the concrete might just be the most conductive thing it's got. And guess what's more conductive than concrete, or even dirt. And guess what happens when you add a smaller resistance resistor to a circuit in parallel.

The whole idea is to make death traps along the way and everything that delays the attackers as much as possible, and dont leave blind spots for your archers so the invaders can hide in them, but have them as sitting ducks.
Water and shit stoped old siege towers and other machinery, then long paths delay its advance when they get inside, and then mazes or something to avoid them reach the keep.

Air superority isn't that hard to achieve (at least, back in v0.7.0)

>>168621012
Avorion ship building isn't complex, but can allow aesthetic designs.

the benefit of how its put together is you can build big good looking ships without wasting a huge ammount of times on repeatedly clicking LMB, so you get to have more fun with gameplay.

which is something avorion actually has a shitload of. I've finished a playthrough of it, and actually thought it was good enough I'd have been fooled to thinking it was a released game.

>other EA games have done this to my standards

>>168622972
They got nerfed.

my only complaint about factorio is the time it takes to get trains. i would make the biggest factories ever if only you could use trains much earlier on

>>168623089
Yeah if this was a full release at $17 I wouldn't be upset. At 80 hours, I think I've gotten my money's worth already. Don't tell Koonschi that, though. Need him workin hard. The game has lots of room to run still.

>>168623363
Basically just needs a shitload of netcode optimisation, and a way to reduce, or a reduction of, jump calculation time.

It's a fucking fun killer to wait 5 minutes for the calculation to go when your upgraded drive can charge in 15 seconds.

>>168623605
I'm only 1.7mil volume right now, so I haven't had much of an issue with it yet, but I can see how that would be a bitch. I think the calculation and drive charging is an important part in space tactics, but there should be SOME option for a module or something to reduce that calc time

>>168623768
I've heard people say the calculation is an important part of tactics, but as the game is set up now it isn't. If you get attacked, pick the nearest sector and calculation time is almost negligible. Say you only jumped to one of the 8 adjacent sectors, which have super short calc time. That's already a 1/8 chance they jump to where you are.

If it was a time more or less fixed to mass and adjusted by modules or computer core, it makes sense. Linearly increasing by jump distance is just artificially filling out the gametime.

Once I've got a big enough jump drive I find I set a destination, then alt tab out and watch a video on youtube, come back, and find it's still calculating for a few seconds then I'll do the jump. Then rinse and repeat.

>>168624458

not sure how detailed the most recent version goes into this stuff, the 32 bit version only has stone building blocks, but wooden structural elements.

the most compelling part for me is that it really gets your imagination going with what kind of castle you can think up, especially with modded in blocks for more possibilities.

it's always a struggle against physics though.

Someone didn't sterilize the cats

90-100 dwarves per fort + assorted animals will run fine on a potato. It's really mostly about path finding bottlenecking CPUs.

>>168645090
Whenever I hear about cats in Dwarf Fortress I think about the time I did some calculations on using a chicken army in Rimworld. With 25 hens you could have about 250 chicks a month, the first of which would mature by the end of that month. That makes just over 25 chicks maturing every day. Not even guys in power armor can withstand chicken hordes, the death by a thousand pecks is just too strong.

>>168645372
Problem with cats in dwarf fortess isn't that they breed too fast, it's that cats adopt dwarves as pets and not the other way around. So you could cull them all, but then you're killing someone's pet, and then every dwarf is pissed and the riots break out, and then you're sending an expidion to recover the lost fortress populated by feral children (DO NOT underestimate dwarven children).

Nah, it really Toadster bottlenecking the cpu, I've once run an aboveground fort with 20 adults and 20 children till the first few matured. The layout really didn't changed that much save for walled off quarry in the depth.
The fps gradually goes down anyway, albeit not as skydiving as it does for uncontrolled population.

Its all the effects and shit that gets piled on for each check. A splinter in the foot will give a mood ailment, will slow down the dorf, ect ect, making every single thing that happens in the fort something that will slow you down eventually.

you could in theory do such a thing in skubmade, but i understand it would be made of slow, or you could do it in spengies if you're playing on a matrioshka brain. [REDACTED] might let you do something like that maybe, not sure.

>>168650946
Thanks for the tips

>>168652826
I bought spengoes on sale but never tried it. Guess now's as good as any time.

>>168652915
I'm almost certain it can be done stock in [REDACTED] and would even be mildly useful. Probably use landing legs to give the train a push and allow it to drift towards the end of the rail, assuming 0g and vacuum.

Why does Celtic mythology make such a great naming convention for ships?

Most boring and brainwashing religion ever. Paganism or advanced polytheism with pantheon is better in any way. Have sacrifices (even human), not denying natural powers or any current scientific principle, much less arrogant, not treating you like a child with Down syndrome.

I haven't read the book, but I remember what follows is an edgy short story where a small suburban American boy gets his dreams crushed by memes. It really does sting more if you recall believing in a God at some point.

Faith comes from feeling what is right, and feeling can not be right nor wrong.
Some feelings may be frowned upon in a society, but the feeling itself is fine.

Yeah but that doesn't change the fact that there is only one God and he sent his one begotten son to die for our sins on the cross and through Him we are saved.

I don't know, Islam isn't exactly boring though, a dude went full autismo due to all the idols to different gods, then running off into the desert, coming back with an army, slaughtering just about everyone and thing, building a giant fuck-off black cube in the middle of bumfuck nowhere while proclaiming himself to be the messiah, cutting off the heads of anyone who dared question him before finally settling down to rape a bunch of children under the guise of "nah dood, it's cool because religion, duh".

Honestly, as far as religions go, this one is definitely fucked in the head enough to warrant it being not boring

It's really just Christianity and Judaism that's kind of boring, and even then Christianity had the crusades and all sorts of fucked up stories from back in the dark age/medieval period.

A dozen pistons attached to rotors, all attached to a landing gear with a timer block while on a planet in multiplayer.
The timer block will be set to 1 sec with the piston set to extend, the rotors set to reverse and the landing gear set to switch lock. This should effectively kill the server.

>>168663108
That's a summoning ritual.
What do you do to appease CLANG.
Abrahamic God was appeased by burnt offerings of "clean" animals, so what kind of sacrifice, altar, prayer, or otherwise offering gets CLANG's blessing?
