Second for REM
when will a perfect /egg/ game appear? Will it be in our time?

Sempai, do you even fucking play machinecuck? The amount of laggy sub-CLANG is near spengies. Only reason that doesn't break the game is the total lack of collision mechanics.

Try to build everything in such a way that you can trivially expand production. You're gonna need way more than 1 assembler for red/green science, or 2 labs. But you have nowhere to put them.
Also never put copper cable on belts.
Quit gettin' mad at cucks!

>REMdev
more games die because they don't listen to players
unsurprisingly it's the big games that don't listen to players that fuck up
>>147291601
frankly it depends on your playerbase and who you're listening to.
For example, tons of people ask for utility features in MMOs, but this is ultimately what kills them.
>>147290604
is that a tv/4k monitor and a 1080p on it's side, or do you actually have 5 monitors?

>>147291571
robocuk really is more like minecraft deadmatch instead of actual engineering.
Rem has structural integrity, and that is something that robocuck dosent have, and by that alone is enough /egg/

I used to have seven, but decided I wasn't using the smallest two enough. At one point I had eight, but I had nowhere to put the fucking thing without buying a whole new mount and screwing a 2x4 into the ceiling. It was more for giggles.
>>147291947
>Everything else
Except rotors :^)
>>147290780
copper cable can be produced very quickly and in general any time you try to move copper cable one by one to a belt you are bottlenecking your production
it's best to make cable in such a way that you can take advantage of the inserter stack size bonus since you can easily make five copper cables in the time it takes an inserter to move one of them
generally its best to either move the cable directly to another assembler or a crate
>>147290125

>Explain the engineering on buying premade stuff with no contraptions to play on a game from a dev who hate what people do with its game.
Has anyone decided what it should be more look like?
If you're memeing about the market thing, which the majority of people seem to not like very much, we'll remove it if it doesn't work very well.
>>147292097
Rotors are a thing we could technically do, but it would require a LOT of corners be cut in the physics in order to make it even slightly playable. At some point we'll make a tech demo to demonstrate this, but for now you're just going to have to actually play the game before making a call like that.
>>147292264
>Please tell me those aren't finalized meshes.
God no. Most of these textures are also 4k, hilariously enough. The punchline is that a netbook from 2008 has been confirmed to run REM reasonably well at default settings. We're going to cut back drastically on a lot of small overhead things like polycount in the future, but that's not whats killing the FPS currently. The best optimisation right now is going to be the merging of smaller struts into larger struts to reduce physics actor counts. This will allow much larger vessels that have the same technical structural integrity of a smaller vessel with everything simulated. The 'weld' strength of all the smaller parts is going to be added up and applied to the larger part.
Right now though, it kinda looks like one of those animations from the 90's that involves vehicles.
>>147292731

Where is the engineering in robocuck?

>>147292817
Beats the fuck out of me, but its in the OP and has been for a long ass time. Personally, I think the combat is more valuable than any amount of hinges or rotors or what the fuck ever, its just the way Robocuc is balancing that shit is unacceptable. Building for a purpose will always be a better game than building for some imaginary concept.
In any case, REM is going to involve some fancy shit like explosive bolts and retracting panels andpossibly, depending on the physics behaving themselves,some manner of piston and merge block analogue.
Why is the line being drawn so vehemently at rotors? Does spengies suddenly lose its status as an /egg/ game if the rotors are removed? Does machine craft become unplayable if the hingejoints and other nonsense was never implemented?
>>147293352
>its in the op
Thats because retarded op used and old pasta.
It was removed like a month ago, when all that shit frommodded minecrafcame about, and i argue about changing the name to
build your shit general, wich could include those games, and leave games more rts oriented like factorio outside of this.
This was space voxels whatever general...
Make your ship, and do shit in space.
Now look what has become to survive.
Both robocucks and factoriofags tried to leave, but they were not even an entire skeleton to walk, just a bare bone, so they came back.
This will never end untill someone change the OP entirelly and keep doing it.

Games either become popular and divas are forced to crater to them, eliminating the engineering autism in it. or they become an obscure title played by a few.

Before i saw the flying i was amazed, but after that, you know is another shit game with physics from 1994 like tie fighter vs x wing or cyberia.

As of .13 all inserters can grab/place more than one item off of belts if you have the research.
But your point about not belting copper wires due to the huge amount they're needed in for greens still stands. Works fine for red circuits though IMO.
>>147293897
>So is ftdposting, which is somewhat worrying.

Also waiting for a shield rebalance so that spamming them everywhere in tediously large numbers isn't as effective.

>>147298680
Nick tried, by increasing costs and making it harder to stack them. All he managed was to make proper shielding take longer to set up and cost more RP.
What the retard needs to do is tweak the math so a single strong shield is better than multiple weak shields, but that'll never happen so long as impact angle is the main determinant of shield effectiveness.

Sounds cool mate. So vanilla Unity is not suitable for this kind of game, is that what you imply
Also what kind of fixing job does it require in a Unity environnement to implement the idea behind bridge games ?

>>147327386
>fixed bodies
Seriously fuck my ability to type with something long, hard and obscene.
Needs to be punished.
I meant 'rigid bodies', and that's just the name for physically affected objects in unity. We use some calculatory nonsense in scripts to figure out how hard a thing needs to be smacked in order for it to be broken off from another rigid body. We call this 'welding', in honor of of the late Gmod. This calculation is done against the rest of the attached bodies, giving the effect of spreading out the force of impact. Technically we could use any plug and play physics engine, but this one was conveniently in place already and is very well documented. We might need to switch to something else in the future if it becomes a problem.
By bridge building games, I'm referring to stuff like Poly Bridge. I'd give you a video to illustrate what I mean, but all poly bridge videos on youtube are done by incredibly annoying lets players rather than anyone worth watching.
Unity is actually really well suited for this kind of game. Just look at KSP, for example. You just need a dev that isn't a shitter to make it work bretty gud. Fun fact: we actually restarted the whole project only 2 months ago. All progress you see has been done in 60 days or less, including down time when we're out not developing, which is the majority of the time.

The only time let's plays are tolerable is something like Lets Drown Out, where it's just a couple of interesting guys having an interesting conversation loosely based on a game that I could never possibly want to play. Either that or watching the shenanigans that a group of friends are getting up to.

All we need are basic rotors.
It allows so much creativity.
How do I advanced circuits?
I feel like my approach is fundamentally wrong somehow.

It doesn't seem like REM would have rotors.
Either they will be 2x2, which WILL trigger some autists, or 1x1, which means no structural integrity.
Best way to have both qt robits and not having pieces of ship breaking during maneuvers is to use hinges. So turning a strut into a hinge would allow more than one "node" for connection which increases durability of that section. To actuate them you'd need pistons though. Which, in turn, adds more gameplay as you can cripple a ship by blasting the pistons that move it's armor.
>>147346661
didn't remdevs say that they'd make default gimbal/turret mounts that you'd be able to stick fixed guns on
Ya boi waddup
Factorio achievements not working for anyone else?
I don't particularly care but they don't seem to be unlocking or showing up in my profile, and yet they did at first.
>>147346661
Pistons and hinges are much more likely than rotors, even from a conceptual standpoint. I still have no idea what rotors could feasibly be used for in a 1v1 6dof dueling game. I can understand having a bit of the armor that you could move on command to reveal a gun, or perhaps make the angling much harsher on a given piece of armor if you're in a certain orientation around a piece of cover. Perhaps something like airbrakes for atmospheric arenas.
Rotors? Eh...
Best answer I got so far was "You could make a contraption to turn the tide of battle :))))"
>>147347237
Gimballing turret bases that you can swap guns out of is a thing we're planning to do, yes. You'll also be able to add any sort of sponson armor onto the mount so it moves as the gun does.

>angling much harsher on a given piece of armor if you're in a certain orientation around a piece of cover
my tired brain interpreted it as
>angling much harsher on a given piece of armor to provide cover
>armor shield that acts as deployable cover for allies
add some kind of reflecting/reinforcing energy field to it and you're golden
actually
maybe something like projecting said force field in the same way you lay down the armor
with like projector nodes at vertices or as struts, maybe creating field inside the enclosed area
like gungan portable shields

>what's a turret
>>147347274
this seems more work than its worth, now every time you need to expand borders, you will have not just to relocate walls and turrets but also belts
And after you get automated production of solar panels and accumulators for infinite energy you can replace everything for superior laser anyway.
>>147350663
turret on rotor
good idea
>>147350808
I know it's ineffective but I need fast, good defenses for the time being since I'm already getting attacked from 3 sides
HELLO YES WHERE ARE THE ROCKS AND THE OIL PLEASE?
I had to cheat in my walls because fuck restarting after 3 hours because LOL FUCK YOU and I got bored of spending 45 minutes of repairing and rebuilding and reloading for every 15 minutes of playing.
>>147351891
Just restart, I had the same thing, no stone anywhere
>>147352162
NEVER.
Three hours on this shit map. There must be rocks somewhere.
>>147352238
I was 2 hours in with 6 radars scanning most of that time, literally 0 rocks. I put in more in the generator and suddenly rocks at spawn and in normal locations like they should be.
>>147352368
Hmmmmmm.
I'm not giving up. It's not even so much the rocks because I'll just cheat in walls and manually mine for the rest of the stone I need. It's the fugging oil.
But that's okay because it gives me an excuse to build a YUGE tanker rail line.

The primary reason you don't want to transport copper cables at all (whether by belt, train or logibot), is that each copper plate is equal to at least 2 copper wires.
Let's say you have a green chip assembly line that consumes 40 copper wire per second. If you were to transport the wire by belt, you'd need a blue belt or double belt of at least yellow+red.
If you were to instead produce the copper wire in-situ, the required copper plates could be transported off a single red belt.
For reference, yellow, red and blue belts have a maximum throughput of 13, 26 and 40 units/s respectively.
Wires are nearly the only item that suffer from this "item expansion" when refined.
It can also happen when using productivity modules. For example, with T1 pink in each step of the oil process, 10 crude oil turns into 10.07 petroleum gas (11.784 gas with T3).
>>147354354

>bloo bloo market bad
There's a pseudo-egg game around called Gimbal.
What's interesting about this game is that each vessel is saved as an image file which can be dumped into the game directory, which effectively allows players to transfer designs as they please.
Further, each player kill results in an automatic ingame transfer of the victim design. You keep what you kill.
Exchange of ideas and designs is an inevitable process (see: flier designs from /rcg/), and obstructing it by not letting players cooperate is quite frankly annoying.
While the idea of an open market might be unattractive to some, a game like REM needs (at minimum) a means of transferring designs between friends.
...and here's a shot of the map. Things are starting to take shape.
>>147359217
Spore did something similar, as does BYOND (DMIs are just PNGs).
What you do is you shove a bunch of data into the zTxt description field of the PNG. Since it's metadata, it doesn't fuck with anything, but your game can still get massive amounts of data through it.

>>147359779
Also, I forgot to mention: 4chan strips metadata, so you wouldn't be able to share the content attached to the image here, not without Hiro adding some sort of exception, which would only serve to make 4chan slower.
1 hour later, still trying to figure out how to automate green science
>>147359948
I'm pretty sure AA2 cards still work fine, so unless the game stores it somewhere else something's up.
>>147359093
>>147329328
>>147326242
Why all the beacons?
>>147360315
Partly for space reasons. But also because the faster an assembler goes, the faster the productivity module in it will pay for itself.
>>147360143
Might be using steganography. http://regex.info/exif.cgi Drag the file that 4chan attaches here.
This is what a DMI looks like after being renamed to PNG and fed through it. After it goes to 4chan, though, the PNG description field is empty.
>>147359217
Sterik here: We currently already have a easy way of sharing blueprints through a single file, Basicly just like KSP. But I never though of putting it into a image file, I like the idea. Oh and btw; there will always be a way to share blueprints without the market system, but if the market was implemented and works as intended, players could sell "licences" of their blueprints, which means you could have their ship file, but if you don't have the licences you cant open it, but if a blueprint doesn't have a licence or its a free licence, then its free game. Or that's the hope...
>>147359091

Supplying your base with coal trains, what could possibly go wrong?
>>147364321
because of e/b/in
>>147364505
Coal should only be used for plastic production once you have even basic oil processing.
Also the new flame turret is god like.
Okay, so I've tried driving to the stone in my car and blowing the shit out of the ayys, but there's too many.
So I'm going to turret creep the entire fucking way.
With bullet turrets that are belt fed.
And the turrets have to remain in place to guard the eventual railroad and also because the ayy nests will send never-ending hordes.
It begins.
Can't wait to do this bullshit 2 more time
>>147364746
As in, you should run furnaces off solid fuel? I thought electric furnaces were less efficient than using the coal directly to smelt ore?

We like it. The difficult part is making it not invincible without being useless. Power consumption and weakness to small, slow rounds, but near invulnerable to large canons and heavy lasers, provided your power holds out might be a start.
So, why was /fcg/ merged back together with /egg/ ?
