Tips for a beginner Robocrafter? I thought to just put as many guns as possible and as long as I could still move it would be great. I was horribly, horribly wrong.
>>121189743
If you make a rail, don't make it paper or all shields.
It's good to be able to frontline with your SMGs and medics.
I briefly thought I was onto something but this thing sucks. It takes forever to turn over properly and its cycles invert every so often for no reason.
I also dunno how the fuck I'd connect it to anything practical.
>>121189743
here's the best tip you could ever get
Don't play robokek
it's honestly not fucking worth it anymore, years ago, sure. not now, not ever anymore
spherical gravity generators cost an insane amount of power, keen need to fix this.
>>121190578
you jokin?
I think if you want a seriously strong point gravity source it should cost something big for the utility
>>121190125
that gets me wet
>>121190125
Well butter my fucking biscuit, I connected it to some shit just to see if it had any potential, and it works better now. That's the only steam design I've made that works better connected to a bunch of stuff it has to power.
>>121190125
Put one more torch behind/next to the current one, so the water cannon is always heated.
Also, try attaching another cannon on the other side, or at 90 degrees to the current one.Bam, V2 engine.
>>121190670
I need atleast 13, so 21 is a good number for a shield, need more then 2 large reactors, place batteries. Can't have my gravity shield online all the time.
>>121190125
With a few of those stacked you could maybe make a huge ass pistong engine. Whether it would have enough power to move anything is another story.I once tried making that same type of engine only with steam cannons pushing piston blocks, but the pistons barely even moved an inch
I don't know what to do with steam engines now that my car has managed to go supersonic. I'm not super imaginative so you won't see me building any crazy-ass machines with a trillion complex gear arrangements or anything.
>>121191512
you are my senpai kek
>>121191296
I thought the idea is that the water cannon is only heated for half of the cycle to make sure it only goes one direction.
>>121191952
baka desu senpai kek
>>121192197
still trying to figure out what those kek kek kek senpai senpai first two are
>>121192119
...no, since the steam is what's pushing the cog around rather than the cannon's force (which is actually far less than the backforce from it, leading to troll physics).
The piston itself isn't what's driving it, which actually makes the thing pointless.
He should really be using something like piston blocks to move it.

> the steam is what's pushing the cog around rather than the cannon's force
Only partially. If I disconnect the piston from the cog its speed becomes more consistent but slower in general. This design was meant to double-dip on the energy of the steam by making a hybrid piston type and water-wheeel type. Its only kind of a success, since a lot of the power is still coming from the water wheel.
>>121193191
But yeah, here's a quick and dirty redesign where the steam can't be driving the cog. It works great, and I delete the connection from the piston and the cog to show its not troll physics just pushing the thing. Without the cog connection it doesn't move at all. Its a proper piston driven type.

Back to the drawing board. The base of it is excellent for a corvette, but it would only work if I used mostly wood.
On the bright side, I'm much better at building ships than before. My prelimary 'designs' were boxy monstrosities, at least this one looks aesthetically pleasing to an extent.

>tfw railguns are completely nonviable
maybe when the next patch hits they'll provide enough m/s to warrant bringing 169 fucking batteries and 3-4x as many chargers to get a single shot off every 2 minutes with some actual velocity.
the Goliath will have to wait for 8m shells for more gunpowder slots i guess. shame. oh well, might as well build the frame for now.
In FtD, what provides more buoyancy - wood submerged in water, or air per block, and by how much? Obviously, wood has the added boon of acting as armor, and the negative of having weight.
>>121202808
Adv. cannons are literally brand new. Give them time for balancing.
>>121203561
Having not played it, I would assume air pockets for larger builds, wood for smaller ones.
>>121202808
>tfw got like 5 more m/s speed increase with only a dozen batteries
What the fuck
>>121203561
Alloy is more buoyant than wood. Some anon calculated the buoyancy of 1 block of air but I can't remember exactly what it was.
I'm angry... angry about Robokeks!
>>121203561
I was actually about to ask almost the same question. I'm currently building a ship - a very stupid ship - that doesn't have a lot of interior spaces, and it's a bit...sinky currently because it lacks buoyancy.
What's the best way to add buoyancy in FtD with minimal volume increase? Is anything more buoyant than air pockets?
>>121204432
So I should replace my wood with alloy if I don't give a damn about cost and I need something to float better?
>>121206149
>So I should replace my wood with alloy if I don't give a damn about cost and I need something to float better?
Yes.
How hard is it to get into MachineCraft?
From what I've seen, it seems to basically be a slightly more advanced, open-world Robocraft
>>121208803
It can be quite a bit more advanced than that if you want it to be, but check the guide in the OP if you haven't and give it a try
>>121208803
Yes, it is quite difficult. It is a good start in the link tutorial in the OP. Once you become accustomed to it, but, it is the best of the space voxel game hands down.
Can somebody post a pic of a good nucannon that isn't fuck huge. I just got the game and i feel like i'm smacking my head against a brick wall every time i try and make one that doesn't suck or takes up huge amounts of space.

>Hi,
>So, myself and Sergii feel that Rails are frustrating in Robocraft as they have no possible ‘counterplay’.

incidentally, i tried to make my heavy bomber with a fast setup, 6 rotors on the sides eventually and 2 custom jets in the back.
then i realized the front of my bomber was the least-fast thing that could ever happen. ah well, i expect with enough custom jet power i can still get to 100m/s without too much trouble, should be fast enough.

Oh.

When attempting to increase proper protein folding one method to do so is attaching the protein to a protein that folds very easily. This hybrid protein will allow the desired protein to fold faster.
Your machine does this as the cogs all work properly they just need a power source. The cogs keep the power source in line and help it preform properly.
Now then, when will you make it fold?

This would make sense, considering that Mars usually has mad sandstorms going on, so some real-world symmetry and physics would be a nice change. What Freejew would end up doing is far less optimistic, assuming they implement it at all.

>>121214674
DONE.
can't get the fucking guns to fire though. i don't know if it's a bug, they only fire if i'm actually controlling the weapon group and pointing in the general direction of an enemy, and they fire without my input. if i hover right on top of something they can easily shoot, they just ignore it.
it's a rather infuriating problem given i spent like 3 hours on this thing and it is otherwise amazing, though the missiles at the front have to go as they apparently detonate whenever i fire them, despite having a fucking safety fuse on them. gonna make apache-styled missile racks sticking out of the middle instead.
anyone got any ideas on the guns not firing? they're all facing straight down, i tried them with or without fire restrictions and they just don't fire. the firing piece is facing down oriented towards the front of the craft, tried re-placing it a few times, no dice. it's a shame, when i did fire them and got a hit it was basically a small nuke, split a marauder in two with just one of the 14 shells.
I have decided that a more complicated challenge than my previous works would be something that operates like the Spooky or Specter, using ACBs to circle the target.
>>121224525
No idea, but I did have some problems with weapon safeties only attaching from some sides of the LWC, which I've never encountered before. Maybe some of that shit got slightly messed up in a recent patch?
>>121224924
not using safeties, just regular lwc's with no restrictions, firing pieces with no restrictions and no failsafes.
i wish i could make this happen consistently, this really shouldn't be so damn hard. the building of the thing and figuring out where to put shit, what the optimum gun setup was for space etc, that was hard. this should just work.
>>121225115

I named it Dragons Teeth, had a little inspiration from Total Annihilation from an object of the same name in that game, except this one shoots back.

>>121225298

eh, I'm not sure how much I like this. Figuring out the turn radius and all that will be a pain, but I'll work on it tomorrow. It's 3 in the morning here, I'll be turning in now.
How do I make it to the point where I'm able to field more than one or two shitty cheap ships in FtD? I'm several hours in and running into a baby paddlegunner or similarly armed ship in every encounter now, plus they travel with escorts. Metal is seriously scarce, even though I have three outposts. Missiles are seriously tearing me a new asshole, so do I just need to build ships completely out of wood and spam as many of them as I can?
>>121230816
However, I will definitely be modifying this cockpit for greater forward visibility and using it for a fighter of some type.
>>121231014
Wooden boats work fine, especially if you use what metal you do earn to make long range guns for them.
Standoff distance is your friend earlygame.
ALSO
You could start a war with the OW as well.
Capture their southernmost outpost, pay them back in natural or something to get peace again, and scrap the captured outpost
>>121231014
you probably dont have enough resourcecollectors if you are having that much difficulty fielding forces
>>121231062
Final thought (posting this more so I remember it in the morning than anything else, though you guys might appreciate this):
Put the cannons in front of the CoM but in line with it vertically and remove all recoil mitigation, perhaps that will push it off course enough for it to circle the target.
I really want it to circle under AI control, and I know I can manage to get that to work if I spend hours and hours fucking around with ACBs but I really don't want to do that.
>>121231135
It's at the point where I'm sending two rapiers off to their death, building two more and repeating. I literally can't afford anything more effective.
>Standoff distance is your friend earlygame.
My bigger ships are armed with slower, longer range advanced cannons, but they get out-DPSed super hard by the ships I'm running into now even when I try keeping them further back. Is there a trick to that that I've missed?
>You could start a war with the OW as well.
This seems viable, but I have no idea where the OW are. I explored up to [?,3] before pulling back and going east from the spawn area, and that's where I'm at now. I have like 30k crystal though, so bribing is definitely an option.
>>121231303
>you probably dont have enough resourcecollectors if you are having that much difficulty fielding forces
Unless the resource collector tooltip that tells you how much stuff is in the area is lying to me, I'm running all of mine at their maximum sustainable capacity. My spawn outpost has natural+metal+scrap but can only support one collector, the second outpost has only crystal with one collector, and my third outpost has natural+metal+crystal and supports two collectors, but all together they still only feel like a trickle. Am I supposed to be getting more?
>>121231835
you can easily run dozens of collectors per zone including the starting zone
>>121231835
the rate at which resources are restored is proportional to the number of gatherers you have there. Slap a ton of resource gatherers in there, leave them out of play and rake in the dough.
>>121231835
OW is directly to the north of your initial outpost.

Could you at least make the roof out of solars so you'd have an excuse for one side to be flat?
In FtD how far can EMP damage propagate? Is there a range it can move before it dissipates or does it go till it hits something?

But
That's how propulsion works
Is this just a badly worded way of saying it's SUPPOSED to face backwards?
>>121239308
>>121238909
hhehhehenow if only it was faster somehow
>>121240174
I think it means backwards relative to the way it's normally facing.
It also depends on how you interpret that to begin with. Facing forwards could mean the same thing as facing backwards, if by forwards you mean that it's pushing you forward and if by backwards you mean that it's thrust goes outward behind you pushing you forward.
But really, I think it's just trying to say it might be facing the wrong way as opposed to literally "backwards".
>>121240674
this, maybe anon built the machine backwards, so the game thinks it's flying in reverse all the time

Different blocks have different conductivity values but I don't really know how far you can expect the damage to reach, would be interested to know if someone has specific information about this.

It has thrusters but it has sat immobile since I left the asteroid I started building it on. It functions exactly as a space platform for building/mining would. But when I run out of resources/planets arrive it will serve as a carrier - until I get to planet, where it will sit immobile again.

Hitscan railguns and SMGs are literally the only fucking way to even be able to damage thruster sticks.
If they manage to remove thruster sticks from the game, Id be fine with non-hitscan rails.
Hitscan SMGs need to fucking go though, and have their range reduced big time. They should be a close-medium range weapon only. Plasma should be medium range weapon, and rails should be long range.
Rails need more damage, Nanos should be pretty lethal up close because they are super short range, and all movement types should have their CPU amount increased dramatically while also being given built in electroplating like the new legs have.
Then add more weapon types to the game like rockets, missiles, "rifles", shotguns, flame throwers, ramming spikes, big ass gundamu laser beams, grenade launchers with bouncing timed explosives, mine layers, etc.
But too bad because LOL FREEJAM
>>121249871

>>121249871
Also mixed weapon usage. I fucking want mixed weapons to be allowed.
Make it so you can take 2 weapon types and one sub type like teslas. If you chose Nanos, you cant take an extra weapon type, but can still take a sub weapon.
>>121249745
>>121249871
Over the past year or two Robokek has existed, nobody has ever suggested hitscan is good.
Do you think you HAVE to have hitscan weapons to hit thruster sticks?
I absolutely fucking love to get a rocket launcher
Aim it into the sky
And take down fucking planes
That's my favourite thing in games like Planetside2. That one guy who murdered so many people
You just go up onto the roof
Look that farming motherfucker in the eye and
Boom, you've been taken out by a little man standing on a roof with a slow, unguided rocket.
I love rocket launcher type weapons. There's nothing in the game like it anymore.
You used to be able to have overtiered plasma for that. You fire a big ball of fuck-you at someone every now and again and rip bigs chunks off of them.
Hitscan weapons aren't fun to play with or play against, however.
I made a suggestion since I knew people would complain about thruster sticks, why not add something?
Like, aside from the collision damage idea...
Railguns could disable thrusters or movement types. This means a vehicle like a plane could still fly but a thruster stick will suffer for a moment as it tries to get back on course.
I'm sure there are plenty of better ideas out there, though. If people think for a bit. And Freejam actually does it.
>>121250448
Hitscan is good.
Just deal with it.
It's what most FPS games use for a reason.

When I play an FPS game
I avoid using guns
Because they're so incredibly boring
You just walk up to someone, hold the mouse down, win.
Like seriously
I don't understand it.
Also games often use hitscan because they're close-quarters fast projectile weapons. Games with longer ranges and more realism don't use hitscan.
Freejam has always used hitscan 'because it would be laggy otherwise'

>good to be able to frontline with SMGs and medics
But that's completely wrong.
Railguns are TERRIBLE for team play.
Railguns are specifically good at targeting bots isolated from their medics. You can easily shoot out their components and leave them crippled while they can't do shit about it.
In front line combat any damage you do will be easily covered by enemy medics. Your DPS is vastly inferior to SMGs.
How far does the LUA programming go for machinecraft?
Could it make a walking machine? Or is it just movers and cannons?

>>121251546
[can't wake up inside]
>>121251565
Maybe things are different now but back when I was playing that was completely wrong.
If you took out the gun it'd just be healed right back again. Fights were all about balancing DPS and if you didn't outdamage the enemy's shields and medicpower then you didn't do any damage at all.
You know what else also removes guns? SMGs.
>>121251917
Medigun healing rate was significantly nerfed.
If a medic is a target gun removal is now pretty massive.
Dont forget the giant red fucking laser beam that rails have when they zoom in that lets anybody being targeted know right away to take cover, making rails even shittier to use!
And dont forget you have to stay totally still and be a huge fucking target sitting in the open firing a bright red laser beam to hit something accurately!
>>121252018
That's true.
My viewpoint is as is in the .webm, so it's probably ~7 months out of date.
The railgunner here keeps trying to take out that one gun.

Meanwhile there's still only two people playing Besiege
Warbros server here,
If we blaneds tomorrow, we'll open up slots for people to play on again. For the time being, it'll be limited to 10 active slots at a time, and we'll have to play nice - no megalomanic super structures, sensible drilling, no army of hundreds of small ship grids everywhere, and so on.
PvP is opt-in, but allowed. Offline raiding is douchey but between to consenting parties, I don't give a fuck.
Name your grids. Small Ship 12562562245 is much easier to be mistaken for garbage than "Dick Tracy's Love Yacht 3000".

Hover your cursor over a resource node in the RTS map to see how many resources are stored in it.
If it's greater than 0, then there's capacity for more harvester.
