Toss the Rapiers, for starters. Also, on this PS a Jawbreaker isn't warranted, it's a DMG soaking barn that can't be efficiently covered with armor pieces without jacking up the PS even higher, where a single cannon and a rapier doesn't cut it.
In fact, there's too many things wrong with that build, gb2 the drawing board.

They are self contained, if you blow them up, there's no hole in the hull. Also, the new 3x3 and 5x5 turrets are the shit, those aim 160 degrees/second, while the older turrets that were on a 1x1 could barely turn 30 d/s

I am not that person, I haven't used the rapier after the buff, I guess its okay, but the gun is not very popular, 5 energy, easy to miss without scope, bad at close range.

Dunno about recommendations, maybe vector or some blue cannon?

>>183426552
Autocannons have minor splash damage that spreads over several neighboring parts, doing fuckall damage. And the splash zone for AC's, cannons, rockets and grenades is a hemisphere, meaning damage is full only at the right angle. Explosive spears and Executioner have a cone splash zone. Porcupine minelayer and Mandrake arty have a full sphere splash zone. "Splash damage" is actually 22 hitscan rays calc'd from the point of explosion and spread within a certain radius and angle.
I'd recommend sticking with MGs and shotguns for now. Use coolers only. Radiators decrease DPS for most automatics, except GLs and miniguns and die Flammenwerfer. A bit later on, obtain an ammo box and 2 Wasps, put on Growl.
Mechanics' grilles/gun mounts are the most important parts, they take just 10% damage and pass through 90%. Attach them on the cabin or frame, they tank splash dmg and allow robust mounting points.

That would require the dev to have a clue about game design. Or at least the willingness to learn.

>>183440946
Rampant burnout.
A few months ago, there was a serb which went full railworld and decentralized production, but then host decided for a new game which promptly died.
Before that, it had been roughly a year of 'content update when'.

>>183440889
I'm calling FtD a glorified sandbox because of the absurdly low difficulty level.
Once you're past the vertical climb that is the initial learning curve (what is UI? where do camera? how make unit followed order? how to plane?), there's basically zero challenge or limitation.
Even if you were to provoke every faction into -100 relations, they will still for the most part sit on their asses and do nothing - if you're lucky they'll send a 20-point raiding party.

Against the vast majority of factions, a cheap fast plane with missiles and glide bombs will decimate whatever you'll be facing, as the AI designs trend heavily toward very weak anti-air.
Not that the quality of your own designs matter particularly, given that you have more resources than you can spend, once you've captured a second or third resource node.
Should you ever find yourself a particular enemy vessel that's problematic, chances are you can simply brute force it away by tossing more (or larger) vessels at it.
I'm well aware that most RTS rely on cheating AI for any difficulty above "hard", but in the case of FtD it's frankly pathetic; the base difficulty is sandbox.

Depends, are there artificial intelligences still in existence that carry on our concept of death and equate it to termination?

Because then the concept of death lives in despite nothing living left to die.

>>183455154
If the concept of death lives, and can die, then there is still something alive to die - and therefore death has not died.
I'd further argue that if a concept can be considered alive, then so can an artificial intelligence.

>HE against armor
Pure HE is good against lighter materials but metal and heavy armor have always faired a lot better against it. Try AP cap, depth sensor, then HE and set the depth sensor so the HE will explode a bit inside the target. I have always preferred using frag tho because it seems to achieve better penetration while still damaging more than one block. Haven't done extensive testing yet so don't take my word for it, try several ammo permutations.

if you literally scroll down a few posts they say that the change is only effecting the daily and weekly crates, seasonal crates are staying the same

the developers for crossout are really bad at communication, in the thread about the upcoming changes, one responds saying seasonal crates will stay the same, the temporary parts are only for daily crates and weekly crates, but that isn't put in an edit to the OP. so now you have a bunch of retards collectively losing their shit thinking seasonal purple crates are going to become temporary items both now and somehow they think it's going to be a retroactive change as well. what the fuck is even going on

So are fusing boxes broken in FtD?
Set a time since first impact timer to one second and it still exploded on impact. Set it to 10s for testing and it still exploded instantly.

(Yes I checked that the fusing box is connected to the cannon with the same ID, I also tried connecting it to a different location but the same result.)

>>183487424
the bullet doesn't have enough penetration, once the bullet stops moving, it explodes, even if the timer hasn't run out of time. Increase AP and it will work as intended

In the long term, the yellow inserter won't pick up plates any faster than the assembler consumes them. And the red inserter can't drop them onto the belt faster than the yellow inserter removes them (and thus clears space on the belt).

All item flows are ultimately self-limiting. Items can only be produced faster than they are consumed to the extent that there is storage available to hold the excess. And eventually that storage will fill, meaning that additional items can only be produced as fast items are removed from storage.

The only time you need to explicitly control the rate of production or consumption is if you have multiple producers or consumers and you need to control the balance between them. E.g. if you're doing research *and* building rockets, you might want to control which of the two gets priority for any resources which are under-produced.

1.5km. Since energy consumption grows constantly, the more chargers you have, the longer you can jump with minimal charge. With 3 seconds of charging, i had used 15% of my batteries and i would be sent 500m forward.

I'll keep tinkering with this, because i think that playing with the ACB, i can make multiple long jumps without needing a nuclear reactor to power up the batteries

In one of your pics it says you'll be warped forwards but you're actually going upwards?

>>183498570
It depends on the orientation of the warp drive, on the webm, i'm using a warp aiming upwards, and on the pics i'm using a warp aiming forwards. Since my vehicle is longer than taller, warp drives aiming upwards can be way smaller while keeping high efficiency.
Also, the smaller the warp drive, the easier it is to achieve a good rod/charger ratio. Right now i'm testing a vertical warp drive 20m long that has 120m of chargers and an efficiency of 86%, and i can get to distances of 800m just using 60k energy

Good news everyone. Warp drives don't take into account turrets or spinblocks, you're only limited to the size of the hull.
On top of that, warp allows you to go out of bounds, for example, below the seafloor, where you could travel wherever you wanted, and there warp to the surface. Or warp drop nukes on top of some unsuspecting faggot, once i manage to develop a small warping thing

>>183501145
>Warp drives don't take into account turrets or spinblocks
Does this mean you can make a micro-vehicle with a small warp drive and a spinblock and build on the spinblock a fuckhueg turret thing with engines and weapons and have it zip around at light speed because the "true" vehicle is tiny?

>I can just turn the AI off when it's not needed and the fleet is docked
If you're playing the campaign, any and all units (botes, plens, turrets, harvesters, ANYTHING) that aren't currently in use should be taken out of play.
I cannot emphasize how important the out of play toggle is for the campaign to play properly, both in terms of performance and units actually following orders.
Again, units should only be taken into play if they're in combat (at which point it happens automatically), or you need to work on them for some reason.

Double warps because double the fun and the distance

I've also added jet stabilizers to see if i could hold this crap flying in a better pattern. It doesn't work, but since those microwarps use little to no energy because they only have half a second to charge, it's ok

>>183503325
Yeah, i would have liked there being some interactions with how the resources are produced.
Like, you can use natural to improve your metal production, or break it down to oil, or use both metal and natural as a feedstock to create more crystal (think the way C&C Tiberium replicates itself).
Of course that would need vastly different resource zones with only one or two types of resources being available at any time (and most of them are not unlimited) thus needing to set up a logistic of sort to bring the natural to your metal mining facilities so that you can convert that metal into crystals to power a nuclear reactor or something.

>>183500782
Single splitter is borderline useless. Only reason I kept it was that you can do some corner single-row insertion with it, but if anyone really had a beef with it I'd easily remove it.
Near/far inserters clean up a potential mess of double row belts, not having them is annoying.
>>183501806
Yeah, for now I've been thinking about starting it tomorrow around lunch or early afternoon GMT0, morning in freedom time, depending on the amount of interest I might wait until next weekend.
Once it's started it's going to stay up, no point in shutting it down, but organizing play sessions on weekends could still be a thing, so that people don't miss each other.

How long does it take to build epic parts? I'm currently crafting a bunch of the rares I need to make them, but it takes an hour and if epics take like 12 hours I'd rather wait until I go to sleep.

/egg/men, I built the loop smelter I discussed a couple of days ago. It's glorious; it'll make a full red belt of copper, iron, or a mix of the two as plates go above or below 2000 in the sorting back-end. The mix is controlled by wiring the ore inputs going into a single splitter, and fuel is injected by inserting into a splitter that checks whether there's at least 4 bits of coal on a span of 6 wired belts.

It's somewhat efficient in terms of space: furnace time is shared between copper and iron, which is nice in a smol factory of comfy spaghetti that mostly doesn't.

So, i was testing this warp plane, and i spawned another plane to see how warping affects AI targeting, one thing led to another, and now i lost my body

So basically, your indiscretion with the warp resulted in your body being consumed by CLANG, but it doesn't matter because you've ascended to a higher form where nothing can harm you?

That's pretty good.

How do I designate trees for removal by my construction robots?

Paid for with the resources used to craft it.

How do you build compact storage in Factorio (discounting logistics bots)? The only thing I can think of is rows of chests with inserters in between (acting as a big buffer), which isn't very compact.

Yes, I have. What about it?

>no fabric block (very light almost no defense) to make a massive blimp with.

Closest right now is filling light metal alloy with helium.

>>183515358
Light blocks

>>183514840
mods or displace your storage elsewhere and use logistics to retrieve things

chests are best, but what do you need storage for?
I mean if it's for the construction bots then passive chests with items work fine
for buffers 2 or 3 rows of inserter>box are enough
for fluids boxes are more space efficient than tanks too

Storage is for strip mining. You should build lots of it.

This >>183516979 and it's not like there is any merit in the miners working at full load, besides maybe some minor power savings on the idle consumption

>>183517284
matchmaker checks if you have [EGG] if so then it matches you with retards (the prisonner island matchmaking approach) if you don't then it works normally

>>183517968
Do you have anything to back that up?

>>183518563
Now hook it to a random number generator so you can randomly warp around evading enemy fire forever

>>183515895
I want to transition from "small train constantly running between mining and smelting" to "enormous train runs occasionally" and I need somewhere to put all the ore, basically I want a huge ore battery to store an entire deposit of ore in. Unfortunately chests only store 2.4k so it takes over 400 to store 1 million ore, and 400 chests takes up a lot of space, especially when I don't think I can do better than 1:1 chests:inserters without using logistics which is tantamount to cheating in a game about spaghetti factories.

>>183517147
I don't think electric miners have an "idle consumption", they're just always on, so there is significant power wasted if you have the miner belts backed up.

>>183518814
>Now hook it to a random number generator
I'm using the closest thing there's in FtD. Basically, everytime the AI tells it to move forward, it jumps, which is ~20 times per second.
As for evading enemy fire, it has dodged some missiles, maybe adding more jump drives might solve it :^)

>>183519326
No, i meant a random number generator that decides which direction it goes.

I don't know how to do that other than using LUA, which i have never used before.
