I've always wondered this and Im'm hoping someone can help me figure this out.

Are there diminishing returns from the weapons in robocrap? Some have max fire rate of 4 or 6 ans others need 8 guns to fire in volley. are the cheaper guns as good at 2000 cpu or what?

I'm trying to figure out how to build my robo for max damage

Dont feel sorry for them. Their game had a chance to be the next big thing, and pull in millions of players and $$$. But the lead devs pissed it all away with their own incompetence.

If it were managed properly by some people with common goddamn sense it would have been insanely popular.

Honestly have no idea why they have so much trouble with this. Even being as colossally retarded as I am, I managed to at least make a craft of any weight be somewhat controllable, regardless of weight distribution. At the very least they don't spin out on the slightest acceleration.

Perhaps its the physics tick? Gravity, maybe? Honestly can't tell. Really wasn't difficult.

Only thing I can think of is that they legitimately think that wheels should behave like they depict them.

Wouldn't it be possible to replace current passive reentry ablation shields with active ones?
Ones that used very high voltage (10-100kV) to heat up and ionize the air around them, expanding it and creating a cushion of plasma between the craft and the compressed air. Of course, that plasma would also be fucking hot, so it'd probably need some cooling itself.

>>173498194
But for what purpose? It would cost less to have a simple ablative ceramic layer at that point. And since it failing would require a passive system to avoid the craft blowing up, you might as well ditch the active one and go full passive

>>173498194
>current passive reentry ablation shields
what the fuck are you talking about

>>173498262
Because reusable. I don't know why you would want a reusable ablation shield, (repeated aerobreaking, maybe?) and it might also help with radio blackout.

Anyone still playing factorio? I try to get a few hours in per week to keep myself interested, but considering how many youtube autists are out there, I feel woefully inadequate. Just trying to expand as much as possible now.

>>173506681
same, basically brainfuck but with 8 or so commands to change current direction of travel
apparently there was a ide for that, but site's available only on webarchive and shit's there

>>173506786
Yes but still, what would something like that achieve what couldn't be more easily done with a traditional programming language?

>>173507030
That a perfect question for the creators of:
python
java
c++
c#
go
ruby
rust
etc.

It's not about achieving anything, it's about the challenge.

Will a programming language or AI ever be developed in which you can type what you want to the computer in plain English, and have it translated to work fine within a game's code?

>>173507124
>c++
I still can't understand why people say it's bad since is pretty much c but expanded, maybe it's because i have only made babby tier programs.

>>173507296
Because it doesn't have a trash collector like Java, for example.

Shit's bound to have memory leaks all over the place unless you design it thoroughly before you start writing the code itself.

>>173507452
But isn't java also bad for different reasons?

>>173507212
So, in essence, a natural language UI with general AI behind it to interpret the context?
Guess it /could/ work without AI, it'll be less flexible, but it should do the trick.

>>173507548
>>173507452
Yeah, Java was the original platform for Minecraft and they completely abandoned that once they reached a certain amount of content due to memory problems. So either it has inherent problems or they're at least easy to cause.

>>173507902
The problem with Java is memory usage. You can't optimize it anymore after a certain point and there's more leeway on other languages, although they require more effort and lines of code to run as well as a Java based program.

>>173508046
In other words, JavaScript and Java are babby's first programming languages because everything you need to make a semi-complicated program is already there.

You can do a lot more with other languages, but Java is so simple so it's a good choice as a designing language which you can later translate into C++ or whatever.

>>173507296
it would be fine if it was
>c but expanded
but sadly they cut a lot of more advanced parts of c before expanding. I used to think c was a subset of c++ when early in my studies, now i try to stay away from c++ plus I have never gotten into the whole vector shite and 15 additional libraries for simple operations
>>173507452
lol pls, GC is one of the problems, not solutions, see >>173508046
although java ran enough time can generate mini-assembly code that's bretty optimized
>>173507548
it has tons of bad things, but some like it. hell i've even made my eng. title on it (the androided java)

>>173508307
So, does this means that starting a C+ project would be a profitable venture?

Bruh.

>>173508565
It means that if you're new to coding in general, start with Java and move on to C++ when you know how everything works. On the long run, C++ is very useful to learn, but basic program logic etc. are more easily understandable with Java.

>>173508770
>>173508565
Also, Android runs on Java and iPhone's Swift is a branch off of Java, so that's a plus if you decide to make a mobile game.

>>173508297

>>>/out/

thruth is: java is so streamlined and has so many safety nets it's painful to work with if you know your shit
imo people should be either taught just 1 high level language for a codemonkey positions (with no sci. title) or they should be dragged through most of them, starting from C and assembly, only to reach higher-leveled later. That way if you wanted to go work on microcontrollers or apis for cpus/networking you can, but if you go for some fancy oop, you still know how it's made underneath (though you don't have to reinvent the wheel)
People that are taught high-levels first, then dive deep into C-territory usually make shit code and rarely can understand how things are working under the hood
my alma mater almost does it the right way

can we please get back to engineering games?
there's a reason I don't go to /g/ anymore

>JavaScript

>implying you can't make simple programs with JavaScript

I agree with you on the rest of the post, although to be able to teach a person that much, it would require coding lessons from elementary school onwards. So unless you're a coding geek by nature, it's gonna take more than 3 years to learn all this and be able to use it fluently.

Though some countries have already started teaching kids how to code from age 10 and upwards, so maybe we'll see a bright future full of coders.

>>173520084
For base logistics, we've got conveyors, sorters, alternating conveyors, refineries, stockpile machines, etc etc. You can refine your resources and sell them, or you can throw them all in a stockpile and craft your own blocks out of them instead of buying them from the greedy fucks back on Earth. Additionally, there's an, albiet simple, power management system, which you need to generate repair and bubble shields, and you have multiple ways to generate power. And theres mobile refineries and stuff so you don't have to have a static base, but you dont unlock those blocks until later in the game. All in all, nothing compared to factorio, but still bretty autistic.

The server does a skip lag thing that it lags and you suddenly appear at a different position. Long time issue on Spengies, no fault of the server itself.

The skip lag happened and the ship suddenly phased into the nearby steel beam thus causing the fudgeup.

I guess the very first "day" of the server would be a mad dash to strip mine the immediate area and desperately build a semi functioning system to stay alive despite the environment and survive the first night.
Imagine, dozens of /egg/men running around, each desperately ferrying resources to a multitude of projects, some just started, other just abandoned, other a messy jumble with little rhyme or reason other than "let's hope it works" just to not get a total party wipe on day one

is it prudent of me to ask for this piece of evidence of the existence of such a thing as fliers in REM?

>>173533934
That's what I wasn't too sure about, myself. That's why I said "meets Terratech", because it would possibly need to be a system of picking up modules or resources from your vehicle and then just being able to select from that pool in REM builder

>>173534469

You have no idea how a railgun works. You're talking about a coilgun.

>>173539752
There is literally no reason not to put something on to make sure that shrapnel or small arms fire doesn't break your fancy gun.

>>173541281
A railgun has two conductive rails, one positive and one negative side. A projectile completes the circuit between them and is propelled along by the Lorentz Force.

>>173541981
Sure, lets just build bunkers around all of our destroyers too. Wouldn't want them to get a booboo.

>>173542003
>>173541842
then make both rails u shaped without connecting them

>>173539752
theres some preconceived notion that because the operation of the gun is technically not reliant on the projectile being enclosed inside a barrel, that this means that the gun should be open to indicate that YES THIS IS INDEED A FUTURISTIC RAILGUN

a "pure" split barrel railgun would definitely be viable, but considering how much other shit is on that specific railgun other than just the rails they might as well have it closed up to better protect the rails and the projectiles.

if it's explained with "well it's a bare bones split barrel railgun because it weighs the ship down less and we are kind of poor" i can accept it but this railgun is clearly just split because it's frickin cool and shit

Free vpns are typically shit for downloading stuff, speed, and security stuff.

Though there's also other connection encrypty stuff like TOR and that other one, but they're slow as all hell.

how the fuck are you supposed to catch enemy ships properly? I only do it in SP with excessive save scumming since I struggle to evade the gatlings before closing. And don't even get me started with the interior turrets that have 0 minimum range and just delete you if you don't hit them from around a corner and strafe around them at point blank.

Am I the only one that finds the idea of spinning around in space terrifying?

Like, even if I was on some ship or colony that spun to create artificial gravity, but had no windows to see "outside" to see the spinning stars, Id still probably be a paranoid mess just thinking about it.

Its different on Erf because its so huge that the spinning feels slow.

But on space station or ship where I could look out a window and see the stars moving at a steady pace as I spin around?

having planets be subjected to physics like ships are and not on rails or otherwise isolated from player crafts opens up the possibility of them CLANGing and flying off at 0.5c
and the effect of any craft that could actually be built irl on a planet's trajectory is so negligible that there's really no benefit to having it simulated at all
