Second for pushing it to 940 kph using only vanilla blocks and physics bugs.Yes I am still experimenting with this thing
fourth for reposting my shitty ideas in hopes of someone showing it to the schoomer
>jumpdrives for long-range "teleportation"
pros:
instant
pinpoint accuracy
long range that scales with ship mass and jumpdrive size block-wise
cons:
need to be charged before jump
costly
energy-hungry
limited to coordinates grid
>warpdrives for non-instant FTL
pros:
still faster than without it
gotta go fast
adjustable speed
not limited to coordinates grid
not so energy-hungry
cost-efficient - more mass per module unit in scaling
cheaper than jumpdrive modules resource-wise
invisible to real space plebs
at warp factor 3 and higher you stop colliding with anything, including asteroids, stations, ships, stars, black holes and planets
it takes the 1:1 or more inhibitor modules to prevent going FAST
cons:
not instantaneous
no jumps from/into subspace, gates included (duh)
unlike their jumpdrive counterparts, warpdrive inhibitors prevent the usage of warpdrives completely and cannot be negated with charging speed
even jumpdrive inhibitors slow you down
subspace sensors can detect your approach across 2 systems
other ships can chase you in subspace if they're fast enough
suddenly leaving subspace damages your shields/hull
sudden stop at warp 10 can really ruin your day
up to warp factor 2 colliding with anything throws you out of the subspace and damages shields/hull according to speed

It has a self-defense gatling now because spiders, a welder/grinder effect box indicator, med station/spawn point, heat sink lights indicating power use, opening/closing cockpit canopy, improved visibility, magnet locking landing gear, redundant power sources, lost/return autopilot and sports full hydrogen thrust with five tanks to supplement the ion thrust.
And the usual features from the previous iterations - welder safety sensors, grind storage, parts storage, dual connector ports, oxygen tank and (multiple) generators, beacon/antenna, 8 welders, 2 grinders, full LCD screens with container readouts for cockpit and rear, grindhold % LCD, all cargo % LCD, alert lights, search lights and jump drives.

Anyone has a good video about walkers?
I'm not looking for any specific game guide, just a general guide on how you build walkers, or more specifically a biped contraption.
>>121653557
its not like we have a fuck ton of resources yet, im just building a light cruiser out of wood and another annon had a OP ship with nucannons on it.
>tfw you will never be as mentally braindead as the Robocraft devs
do AI factions fight with eachother in FtD?
is it possible to build an antenna big and high enough to see most of the world?
>>121654050
I hope you understand that all the games of this general are about building, and most of them allow walking machines.
If this is not bait leave more clues
How do I make good dakka turrets in Starmade? The recent overhaul made things interesting, but I just want a big, shielded dakka gun on my ship that doesn't collide with the ship itself.
>>121655409
I know? I just want a general guide to build walkers. I'm pretty sure if I get the concept right I can build it in any game(Besiege, SEngie, etc)
>>121655409
METAL GEAR?

>Robokek will die and Machinekek will grow in its wake

>>121655704
Look up inverse/reverse kinematics. Learn how to take a sum of 3D coordinates (some libraries make this easy in implementation) and use that to find the combined center of mass of a system of variable parts and keep it between the points of contact on the ground. Look up walk cycles.
Go from there.
>>121652805
the only upside to this setup is that you can probably disable anything you can fire on with a single volley.
>>121655704
It's very different for every instance of walkers.
For besiege you first need it to not break under weight
For spengies you need an altar and pray daily to Clang.
Same for Mengies but also pray that it doesn't crash
For machinecraft you know you must not use antigravs, as they are cheating. Maybe programming with LUA can help in the future.
For Robocraft just don't put tank treads above the legs.
For real lifeI won't tell because I'm trying to make a living out of it, if I finish the career.No general consensus.
>>121656517
>For real lifeI won't tell because I'm trying to make a living out of it, if I finish the career.
Don't be a faggot. The basics are exactly the same for building a Lua walker in any of the games that support it, IRL just requires you to be stupid creative with terrain mapping. I'm doing this as a self taught hobby.
What are some fun features I can add to the large version of my cargo cruiser / blockade runner?
Aside from the necessities, the interior is so huge on the big version I'm running out of ideas to fill it up with. The small version was easy because all it needed was an engine room, captain's quarters, cargo, and the "bridge".

>>121656517

Fuck, now I really want to play RuneScape but I know that if I start I'll never stop and it will ruin my life.
>>121656940
Large cargo hold. Plenty of storage as well as internal space to tie shit down, and mount more removable large containers.
>>121657063
I just started FtD myself. It is pretty unintuitive at first, but once you get a grasp on how one thing works - engines, for example - you'll have a decent idea of how the other multi-block systems go together before you even start messing with them. Beyond that it's really just learning to optimize your shit through experience and fucking around in the vehicle designer, which is where the fun engineering bit comes in. There are short little tutorials for how shit works that are actually super fucking convenient because you can access them right from the block inventory screens and they take only seconds to page through.
And it doesn't look -that- bad. It's not beautiful, but there are uglier voxel building games.
What the fuck am I doing wrong?
There is no markers that appear.
I'm trying game, but you are not making this easy.
>>121656517
God, that game was a fucking pain in the ass on the later bots.
Just HP sponges, the lot of them
Been messing with troll physics lately, making steam cars that shoot themselves and move and stuff, and decided to try one with cannons.
It uh...it doesn't work very well. It requires an obscene amount of bracing to hold together under the force of being intentionally shot at hundreds of times per minute, its hard to see while in motion because of the clouds of smoke, and its pretty fucking slow.
The one success here is that I don't have godmode turned on. It really does stand up to this pounding.
>>121659018
Honestly, the wood texture fix made it far easier to look at.

Any ideas on whats causing this? I can't figure it out.
>>121661523
They said themselves that the plain models are placeholders. That's why newer blocks have better models, and why the small cockpit is fully worked.
They can get with it because alpha state

>>121661575
is your weapon controller connected to the turret spinner itself?
if you control a turret spinner with AI, all weapons mounted to it are also controlled.
>>121662396
Yeah, even manually it still wont fire when not looking forward, it's wierd.
Pic related, If i turn it any further than this it refuses to fire.
Guess I'll try rebuilding the whole turret.
>>121661474
Driving around GTAV during a heavy rainstorm, especially when it's actually raining outside.
>>121663231
if you set firing angle restrictions on the firing piece itself, the AI will not fire the turret unless it happens to be pointing at an enemy and you're also looking in an acceptable line of fire. it's a known bug, been around forever with custom cannons and now apparently advanced cannons. something to do with the way barrel movement is coded.
to avoid it, just set the restrictions on the turret itself so it can't rotate to fire on your ship, if there's no firing restrictions on the firing piece it should work fine.
on a mostly unrelated note, i recently made a ship that engages at 2.5km and scores a surprising amount of hits for 0.66 inaccuracy. i'm quite pleased with it.
>>121658550
I'll likely combine that with the bottom hangar so cargo can move in and out.
I uploaded the small version to the workshop if anyone is interested.
finished the ship i was building in mp; a speedboat armed with 12 inch guns. i'll
retrofit it as soon as i get back on.it dies crazy fast though, so you guys will need to defend it

>find drone
>flyby and hack the reactor
>take control
>disable programs and set waypoint on remote control to my base
>this happens
I feel this isn't my fault.
man i have to replace the big turret with another iteration of the small turret.
this shit annoys me, the big guns fire both barrels once every 4 seconds, 4 times, then are silent for 16 esconds while the autoloaders are still fucking reloading. the shells do about twice the damage of the small gun's shells, and over a larger aoe, so probably 4x the dps per shell.
the thing is, the small turret fires 4 times a second, nonstop, for 24 seconds, then reloads for 32 seconds, then resumes firing. it's more accurate with a shorter barrel, requires less space, requires a smaller ammo source to supply it and the bullets travel twice as fast.
maybe i'll make the copy of the small turret into a kinetic kill railgun instead, since the smaller rounds also benefit from railguns the most.
why the fuck anyone would use a large gun with the current system is beyond me, it's just always worse in every respect. stupid.
>>121667669
LWC: Local Weapons Controller, thething you are trying to connect to the AI mainframe.
Find these 2 parts in the AI section: Local Weapons Controller, Wireless transmitter, Wireless Receiver, AI mainframe. Put the AI mainframe down first and then put the transmitter on top of it. Then repeat only with the LWC and receiver.

Wait, is this some sort of 18th/19th century wooden ship version of From the Depths? Because that is my fucking dream game.
In fact, would any of you faggots know of a game besides From the Depths that does sailing, wooden ship making, cannons and shit work well? I find making ships that would be like in Empire Total War or something stupidly fun.
What is your design process anon, for your ships hull? I am fucking awful at making things that work well. http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/23967114429293970/FC9679F0589AB0A5B72E5DDDD8F01D82D337CD5B/

>>121675819
Voxel base ship building, or something that has a very involved customization process. Like ship spine generation, lengthening, shortening, hull warping. Adding various rooms, modules, rows of guns. It would be really cool to design your own ships and have some sort of system auto-calculate what class it would fall under.
But yes, a lot like what you said. Just not like Carribean, Carribean was god awful.

Why would you make an exact coy of your small ship? Make it a little different at least!

>>121665221
>12m/s

>>121678025
The interior is completely different (for obvious reasons) and I'm retooling parts of it to fit needs.
I redid it as a large because the design on the small seemed like it would be a great large ship design as well.

Your props are sticking out of that water, thats part of the problem, the other part is your bow: it needs to be a 4 long angled block all the way to the bottom this way it creates much less drag against the water.
>>121680705
bro you made a slow frigate.
angle the front a bit more, and replace those little useless props with the big manly huge variants. they cost the same amount of metal for some reason and produce far more thrust.
speedboats should be moving 35m/s+ at a minimum, 60 if you're using hydrofoils and jets. this light cruiser moves 23.5, despite havinga draught of 8 meters and weighing in at 250k metal.
>>121677856
I make instant potatoes and other stuff like mac n cheese without milk and just substitute water mane.
Have my first boat sinking all my friends in 'pvp'.
>>121681015
>>121680878
There's no space to do any of that, its all packed in to be as small and cheap as possible since its a starter ship; it only clocks in 50k metal.
smaller props are stuck in between the larger ones as shown.
As for jets I am open to suggestions

Almost totally agree with you, all my ships are outfitted with several small turrets. However they aren't nearly as effective against small ships where you need to hit hard to get through the armor. Therefore I tend to fit "grenade" guns on beltfeeders (1 shot every 2 seconds or so, reload maybe 40 seconds or so if you put enough ammo intakes on), so 0.5x1 (casing+HE) or direct feed (a shot every 90 seconds and uses a lot less space).
>>121668563
Have you tried messing with the max rof setting on the cannon? If you do the math right you can get a consistent stream of fire, not bursts.

Side note, with Adv cannons, an autoloader can have 4 clips attached, which reduces load time by 50%. Two autoloaders with 4 clips reduces it by 75% (but then complexity penalty increases it to 70%) With 4 autoloaders with 4 clips each you can reduce reload time by 90%.

A naturally low CoM, the ability to no sell torpedoes, and inherent redundancy in case airship mode fails all sound pretty pretty good to me.

>>121674908
Funorb was going to do a game of the like before Jagex cut funding to their game development.
Though honestly I doubt it would have been block-by-block and rather some other method of customizability and it'd focus more on PvP combat anyway.
Honestly I can't think of anyone really developing games where you build ships block by block.

How do I place a spin block sideways? I want to make propellers that pull and push forwards.
Decided to modify my space yamato into a functional sea vessel so I have something reasonably large to fight with as an AI ship.
has a reaction wheel stabiliser and I've added Integral gain to the LUA code, so when the guns are firing to one side, the speed of the wheel increases to keep the ship upright.
Anyone factorio brothers wanna start up a multiplayer game?

>Who has the largest, fully destructible, volumetric and persistent planets in the universe?
Outerra?
>>121690925
i could, but i don't see the merit in doing that with a cannon that just does less dps than a smaller gauge variant.
>>121690837
small ships are irrelevant, as is armor. even the smallest gauge cannons can easily pierce 2-3 metal beams in a single shot, you can use the shaped charges effectively on small gauge cannons too, i don't see the purpose for the big gauges. 500mm/1m shells are almost useless, the explosive damage isn't bad but the cooldown is gross and without belfteds they still take too damn long to do anything. you get a lot more dps by using the same amount of space for a small gauge cannon.
>>121709670
reaction wheel stabilizer? did you make something out of spin blocks and lua?
>>121711805
Empyrion?
>>121712026
yes, here's a screenshot of an airship I made that did the same. I had to make this for the airship out of necessity as I mounted the helispinners upside-down for survivability, but it meant they couldn't be used as stabilisers.
Can dump some code if anyone is interested in building one.
excuse me?
>>121712518
would be a nice change of pace from having to manually alter the speed of multiple heliblades all over the ship until you get a good balance. i'm assuming the code just balances their output automatically to maintain level orientation. would like to poke around with it if you don't mind sticking it on pastebin.

Is it just me or are Advanced Cannons hugely OP? I tested it on a couple of DWG ships and they can't get even get in range with their cannons and missiles.
The simple turret in pic related wrecks the everloving shit out of every DWG craft. Will move on to stronger craft now.
>>121715773
place that on a ship and see how fast you go with recoil
>>121667947
if you pause and unpause the game they stop spinning. it's some bug one of the last few updates caused.
>>121715773
try using it on something that's not a fortress and you'll reach sanik speeds thanks to the recoil

To be honest the set-up isn't very realistic.

>>121715773
in terms of engaging at range, they're massively OP. you can kill something at 2.5-3km range reliably with an 0.4 or less inaccuracy cannon, and there's nothing it can do to stop you other than moving fast and unpredictably. you can sink most of the enemies in the campaign before they reach engagement range if you set your craft up for low caliber HE railgun rounds with high accuracy.
in a firefight at <400m they're woefully outclassed by missiles, and against unshielded targets regular CC's are absolute rape in terms of straight dps.
>>121714552
replace all of the long 1 block segments with 4m beams, they've got more health per segment and will reduce your blockcount substantially.
go for less props with less height and longer blades. you should also have ammo, somewhere. if it's a flyer you'll want it along the top with the armor on the bottom so you can, ya know, fire weapons and such.
otherwise engineering/10, better than my first craft which was a wierd trimeran/missileboat/drill craft monstrosity.
>>121717491

>>121718173
>and against unshielded targets regular CC's are absolute rape in terms of straight dps
Not so sure about that when you can make 6 barrel miniguns firing all kinds of nasty custom projectiles. If it's close range then muzzle velocity isn't a big deal and you can pack the ammunition with all kinds nasty of shit that will BTFO custom cannon rounds.
>>121718623
Also the rate of fire can get fucking ridiculous on these minigun designs.
At close range you can just take control yourself and cut the enemy in half.
>>121718623
yeah but the amount of space required for loaders and shell parts is excessive, the space being used for just a max firerate CC will yield more dps if the rounds aren't bouncing.
>>121718437
>better than my first craft

>I'll be back with some proof of how wrong you are
Godspeed.
>hydrofoils and proper design
In the meantime, I'm going to try and build a hydrofoil speedboat just to see how fast such design can go and still be viable.
>>121729827
imo hydrofoils are inferior to downward-pointing propellers.
Propellers allow you to spend a lot of time not even in contact with the water, but you get periodic speed drops as you fall into the water before getting pushed back up again.
>>121729827
about 70m/s is the cap as far as i can tell for bare minimum contact with water, unless you're using a custom jet with millions of thrust, then you're basically making a thrustercraft. i made a few with regular huge jets, they all skip along between 50 and 65m/s. can't do anything except missiles and lasers though, guns can't track fast enough.
>>121705695
