At least get your facts straight you gigantic autist.
The server didn't exist a day ago. Before that, it was me hosting playtests for the map. I haven't even mentioned the server on /ss13g/ until today.

It's not off-topic, seeing as how it's an engineering game. Yes, a general exists but it's /vg/ discussion, it's not even a proper thread for the game itself.
Now calm down, you're embarassing yourself online.

Current server status: Seems instable, but works. Our last machine died, we moved again. Hopefully premium serb this week.
To join us, follow these instructions:
First of all, you need to get into the access group. To do so, add/msg this guy:
> http://steamcommunity.com/id/ced23ric
To save some loadtime, preload our mods. Subscribe the to collection here:
> http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375603526
There is a preload world which is also part of the collection (offline, creative) which you should start once to prod all mods to download: > http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=529237944
You can also use that for offline blueprinting and build it on the serbian later. I don't care if you want this server to be vanilla, it won't be. It's a shitload of mods, but they have been weighted and tested and they work. Half of them are tweaks and visual shit (no beacon glare, for example) anyway.
WARNING. 1.5GB OF DATA. COURIER PIDGEON INTERNET BEWARE.
You will be invited to a group called "Warbros Space Engineers". That group works as a whitelist. Only people in that group will be able to join the server. That is so I can control better who has access and we don't get unwashed pubbies.
Quick rule overview:
- Don't be a dick.
- Keep builds below 3000 blocks for main installations, ideally below 1000 for anything else.
- Stop grid spam. Every thing you build is a calculated physics object that eats performance.
- PvP is opt-in between two (or more) consenting parties. Period.
- Only one drill per player. Take the Large Ship Earthbreaker, it's a good drill. Why? Drilling kills the game for everyone. Simu speed drops like a mad cunt with too many drills.
- Keep Welders/Grinders to a minimum. Not talking about your average small welder with 8 Compacts, but avoid grind/weld platforms.
- Talk to me if you have issues. Don't just shitpost on /egg/, talk to me.
- Message me about people fucking with your shit.

Some general stuff:
READ THE FAQ (pic related) AND SAVE EVERYONE (AND ME, FUCK) SOME TIME.
- Server is running in Survival-10-8-8 game mode.
- You are encouraged to make your own faction. Buddy up with someone, make things happen.
- Warbros faction will not hold your hand. We'll help if you are conveniently close and can spare the time/resources, though.
- The server will have some QoL addons, such as the helmet mod. Read the description and understand it. Protip: Turn off the glass reflection, set the shadow scale so there is no shadow and deactivate delayed movement.
- Another is Chat History. Type /ch to see the last 50 messages typed in /global. Might help with catching up. Keen broke scrolling, though.
- Also, Build Info, which gives you information about blocks you're placing, such as airtightness. Turn it on/off with /buildinfo in /global chat.
- There's three respawn ships, the Sparkies. It has all you need to survive, some mats, beacon, solars, nuke reactor, refinery/assembler, air. Spawn in one of those and set out to meet the cold void. Keep in mind that Sparkies cannot land on planets because lol thrust. One of them can hover above the Moon and Europa, though.
- The server is set to autosave every 15 minutes. There are no manual saves. Expect crashes and reboots. Backups are made daily.
You might want to grab the Warbros UI, too. See through menus and generally improved visibility and an increased G Menu size.

Coming to your Siberian village, soon.
>>123790125
Pic related are the three Sparkies you can pick from. Combat has less production and materials, but more guns and armor, also afterburners, miner has less sustained power and materials but a drill and an oxygen generator, solar has the most parts and is the most sustainable of the three.
When the server crashes - as in, "host has left the game", and it wasn't an announced reboot, help out by giving me some sort of summary of what was going. If you were online, please describe in detail what you were doing as it happened.
e.g.:
>Started to grind a 1x5 ramp block
>Crashed my new fighter into my main cargo hold
>Fired 50 gravgun projectiles at Joe, fuck Joe, I am glad he's dead.
This might help finding the reasons for crashes and do something about it.
Also don't jump the ATeam bus. Any vehicle with wheels will crash the server on using jump drives.
And when you place shield upgrades (Flux Coil, Capacitor), place them on the generators. If you place them elsewhere, shit crashes.
See you in space.
Planned features:
- If the upcoming premium server runs a dozen people at 0.9 or better simuspeed, we might expand to 20 slots.
- As soon as Keen releases the modding API for planets, we will add "Arrakis", a desert planet. I have commissioned an autist to make that thing for us, and he's hype for it. It will be with full PvP inside it's grav well. Yes. No rules, all PvP allowed, no protection, no persecution, as long as it's inside the grav well.
- I am looking into getting an economy system up and running, which will trade in "Spice", which can only be mined at Arrakis and traded at a special trading station in orbit.

Adding this for anyone who missed the post about the shields.
Also, coming soon: Tethered welding ships. You will soon be able to tether a weldship to a cargo supply which will remotely move components into the weldship, making it unnecessary to dock or stop working on your thing if you a) set it up right and b) are in range of the transmitter blocks. This will make weldships smaller, but also require more power.

In practice, you will need a cargo bin on the weldship and a parts container on the storage source, a transmitter block on the source and a tethering block on each. Then you activate the tethering system. If you are in range (between source and sink), you will now receive parts from the source, based on your settings, across the range of the tethering blocks transmission ranges.

Not the same Anon, but Corvettes are the smallest class of proper warship.
No single pilot platform could be considered a Corvette, because a corvette is a warship, and a warship requires multiple crewmembers to operate.

>>123801989
I generally classify my fighters "heavy" not when they exceed a certain weight, but because they include certain components.
For example, pic related is not a heavy fighter because it isn't constructed of heavy armor, and uses only small shield generators, as well as lacking some form of explosive payload, while my "heavy" fighters are constructed on a heavy armor skeleton, with large shield generators, complete life support units, and carry one or more types of explosive payload.

>>123805059
I've not really come up with a "superheavy" fighter because there isn't much more I can pack onto a fighter frame.
I guess the closest thing would be the gunship version of an earlier design.
8x23mm machineguns.
2x50mm cannons.
6x400mm rocket launchers.
4xSidewinder tracking missile launchers.
2x23mm turrets, mirrored top and bottom.

Want to do a combat test?
Your fighter vs my aerospace fighter.
Word of warning though, firing at speeds above 100m/s tends to cause self destruction on the serbian.
>>123806598
The most important part of a heavy fighter would be a weapon loadout that is mostly automated with a strong weapon for the pilot to operate. I am still looking for a suitable mod to rip and alter for that purpose.
I think I will also take apart the weapons mods we have on Warbros (all of them) and recompile them into two balanced packages, with one for cap ships and one for small ships.
I would suggest holding off on weapon loadout conecpting for now and expect the mods to be functional within the next ... mhmm. 12 hours.
If you have a weapon mod you know and like, please link it, and I will see if I can incorporate it. I will also attempt to sort and unify ammunition descriptions.

>>123807925
Eh, you can also just go with the EAT HOT LEAD option and just key all the cannonry to one button.
>>123807925
I'm not even sure if my ships in their current iterations will even function properly in Warbros. I'm not sure if anyone has tried to test my fighters there, although one anon encountered an issue where the game tried to replace a missing modded block with turrets, causing the entire fighter to CLANG itself to pieces.
Plus they're pretty block intensive for small fighters, the larger ones all clock in at 1500+ pieces and would probably cause a lot of lag, supposing of course that they don't simply explode because they're missing components.
>>123808446
Re: lag = shooting yourself
It's also speed. Most weapons are designed to be used at 100m/s. I can adjust this.

Have a look at other people's creations for ideas on improving aesthetics without compromising function.
Try coloring your blocks as well. Generally it boils down to a lot of iterations until you get it right. Designing something that both looks good and performs well can be daunting.
Don't go crazy with armour blocks they can add too much weight and your creation will likely look like a shoebox if you are obsessed with making a shell instead of a ship that serves its purpose.
Start with small ships, they are quicker and easier to build. You can iterate your designs a lot with less effort, that and they are easier to build in survival.

Also, for the upcoming weapons modifications, please throw in some ideas you have. Consider that we are going to go to Arrakissoonâ„¢, so we are looking at weaponry used inside a gravwell and on the surface.
I have a few ideas on my own, but I would like to hear your thoughts, too.
My laundry list:
- unify ammunition types
- streamline naming conventions
- set average engagement range to 1200m
- introduce special weapons with higher ranges/RoF/damage than average, but a substantial power drain
- increase all speeds to be compatible wth Warbros' speed settings
- balance weapons against one another
- introduce swarm missile launchers and "heavy rocket" launchers
- balance weapons against shields
- make sure all weapons can be properly loaded (small/large conveyors)
- adjust sounds in dire cases
- unify sounds across same calibre weapons
- disable/remove weapons from some mods that don't play nice or are otherwise incompatible

On the list. I can only adjust speeds, as I cannot break open and adjust the positions of the projectile spawn on most models, but I can adjust velocities, which I aim to do.
Kinda shite to fly with a 400m/s ship, and fire a 300m/s rocket, because lol, no relative speed but absolute speed. Kaboom.
>>123816259
Soon, fellow anon. The phaser pack will return here and be tailored for that - high RoF, low damage, high accuracy. Keep in mind that I will also attempt to rebalance the ammo costs and ammo sources, so a phaser at 1200m range will do a little less DPM than a projectile weapon with the same range, but be more precise. Say I take 1000 DPM as base value for 100% accuracy, then 1 degree of deviation will be 105% DPM, and 5 degrees will be 125% damage.
I intend to run this across all weapons. I will also aim to offer variant ammunitions where I can be bothered, with custom icons. And I think I will look into disabling assemblers making ammo, but introduce an ammossembler, that contains only ammo - but all ammo. That should help production and finding shit faster, too.

Sorry. Shields have two settings, explosive and projectile, because SE knows no other. I do aim to introduce HV railguns, though. They will ruin shields as kinetic penetrators.

I I remember someone saying that even if the projector is off, the game still registers a ship and all its blocks there, and the only way to make it not do that is to actually clear the blueprint.
>>123828573
Projectors are an issue when the thing being projected has a projector.
The old Z welders had a repair system which involved a projector which projected the ship over itself so it could be rebuilt and repaired easily.
Which meant that the projector was storing the ship. And the stored ship had a projector that was storing the ship. Which had a projector that was storing the ship which had a projector that was storing the ship which...
Does anyone else masturbate to the sound of Ayy Lmaos?
>>123828573
I was looking at it, and it's great fun. Sadly, since Keen does >>123828813, I am not going to encourage people making repeated copies of their ships for comfy reasons. Consider the world file doubling up on data for every ship that does that. (Or tripling. Or quintupling).
You can already use projectors to do something like >>123824162 / >>123824673. USe armor panels and cornerlights.

From the Depths:
If I'm firing 4m shells, 0.5m diameter is it possible to get a fire rate under 26ish seconds? I was having a bad time of it. I have an evacuator on the barrel, as many gauge coolers that have an effect, and overclocked to max. My autoloader complexity is 1.4x which I guess is not so good. Also my ammo takes forever to fill into the clips, maybe I need more than 1 shell customizer. I have 4 autoloaders on each gun, each with 3 clips.
They make a pretty nice hole though so perhaps I just need more gunz?

reshade works again
>>123853186
There are two things that can potentially limit your firerate: cooldown and reload. Ideally you want those to be roughly the same, because otherwise you are wasting blocks and resources.
In your case, you are putting a lot of effort into reducing cooldown when it's probably reload rate that is limiting your rof. Reload time can be increased by adding more autoloaders, or by changing your cannon/shell design so that you can get 1m long shells for belt-fed autoloaders, which are much faster.
Remember to set a suitable rounds-per-minute on your cannon, otherwise you get burstfire as everything that's in the autoloaders gets fired in less than a second, then you have to wait as all the autoloaders reload at the same time. If you set a proper value for rpm, you get a nice continuous stream of lead.

Hey Ced, I had a rover sitting at my moon base, its beacon was named "Ice Rover" and I think I named the ship the same thing, not sure.
It ran out of power and disappeared, this happened prior to the cleanup you just did. If it has a name but is unpowered, is that grounds for deletion?

Unpowered is no grounds for deletion from my side. I don't even check for that. But if it drifted off or was considered trash, that might have been automatic - but shouldn't. Can you give me any other information?

This is a retarded old-ass meme, and you should be fucking ashamed of falling for it. Yes, soviets used pens initially, and graphite shards were a fucking pain. So they eventually developed a space pen of their own.
They used crayons too though, at early stages, and those worked just fucking fine.

It's an odd thing because ballistics are a pain in the ass and protecting troop carriers really is the worst. Ever wondered why Russians sit on top of their APC's?
Afghanistan and Chechnya taught them that the safest place to be in an APC when it drives over a mine or IED is on top rather than inside.
Slav logic, it seems retarded but often it's just a horribly pragmatic people who seem to have no regard for the safety of others and marginal concern for their own.Which is why this thread embraces it wholeheartedly.

>Stupidity
Actually it's a tactic that has proved to work and reduce casualties signifcantly. Of course you wouldn't roll into battle on top but when travelling in an APC where there's a chance of mines it's better to be thrown off the vehicle and let it take the blast than to get shredded by shrapnel from inside.
>>123891573
>Of course you wouldn't roll into battle on top
if steel panthers taught me anything, it's that you don't roll into battle in the APC at all; you dismount two turns before you think you need to

Reporting from the weapons front.
Currently planned projectiles (1200mm range):
7.62mm - ammunition for Assault Rifles, Interior Turrets (large grid), Sentry Turrets (small grid).
20mm - ammo for gatlings (large & small grids)
23mm - ammo for autocannons (large and small grids)
50mm - cannon ammo (small/large)
120mm - will come in AP and HE, small/large
152mm - will come in AP/HE, small large
230mm - large only
400mm - large only
Special "projectiles":
100m range energy pack - short range beam weapon (red/orange)

I might end up giving up on that, adding target prediction to the script and calling it good, because aiming is actually a terrible nightmare.

FtD is an excellent game. I'll give the bad bits first:
>UI isn't that great
>Campaign is too easy once you git gud (although you can modify what ships the enemies have, even give them your own designs so you have to fight against better stuff)
>AI-controlled ships are sometimes retarded
>Poor documentation and tutorials, come here if you have questions. I'm putting together a beginner's guide, bit by bit
Good parts:
>Great building scheme. Keyboard building makes all other kinds of vehicle design feel like crap
>Great dev. Delivers on his promises, fixes most bugs within a day or so, basically the AntiKeen which has been prophesied
>Combat is fun
>Big ships look beautiful. Smaller stuff can look like crap, but big bewts can be A E S T H E T I C
>>123928183
The main attraction to FtD is the campaign, which plays out like your typical 4X RTS.
Explore your surroundings, exploit the resources, expand your territory and ultimately exterminate every opposing faction.
What FtD does differently is that it allows you to design each and every one of your units from ground up - think Earth 2160 with a fuckton more detail.
For a ship, you'll design the hull, managing buoyancy and center of mass, you'll design the power plant and propulsion (both of which are about to see an overhaul), various defense systems and the means of which death is delivered.
The new cannons will allow you to even design the shells, choosing the proportion of which is gunpowder, what kind of fuse and warhead is to be used and so on - the cannon itself requires management of ammo loading, recoil and barrel heat.
The main pitfall in FtD is the UI, something that just about everyone has complained about.
There's a fair learning curve, most of which is simply figuring out what the fuck those buttons do, and how to get your units to follow move orders.
Once you're past the early confusion, you'll quickly master the game and find it disappointingly easy.
Hopefully this upcoming resource overhaul will bump up the campaign difficulty.
>>123929414

Thanks. I feel like in a lot of these sorts of games you can build stuff but not have anything to do with them, this seems a bit different.
Hey Warbros, do you guys have any advice on server hosting with planets? My buddy and I are wanting to play around with the new planets in multiplayer (just the two of us, maybe a third from time to time) and the game just crashes after a little bit every time. We were able to play just fine with a group of 5 before blaneds, but obviously it's an entirely new level of technical requirement. Is there anything to be done on the host-side to make it a little more stable?
I'm hosting on an i7 4550k/GTX 980 4GB VRAM/32GB RAM(kek) machine with a decent connection. I've spent nearly 50 hours in game since planets came out designing vehicles of all sorts and haven't gotten a chance to use any of them yet.
>>123915202
>>123915019
Well, based on feedback I made some major alterations, as well as replacing the underwhelming missile batteries (that I so beloved for their working hatches) with lots of dakka.
Kludged together a fixed bow and wider firing arcs for the new cannon batteries, which only sometimes dink the sides (will probably fix it by playing with the failsafes.
All and all, improved mostly.
>>123929924
That's one of the things I really like about FtD. SE, for example, has almost nothing to do. With the introduction of ayys you have stuff to kill, but besides building comf bases, pvp and CLANG, there's not a whole to to do. FtD has tons of stuff to build, kill, capture, whatever.

>tfw hours of work probably got deleted
>>123930370
First of all, hosting locally is different from a dedicated server. If you host locally, your rig needs to a) hold the server and assets b) hold all physics calculation across all distance and c) deliver all data to all clients connected. On top of that, you are also running the client, which essentially doubles the load. Spengies runs relatively instable these days, so any slight hiccup of your client will kill your server, and vice versa. Our server runs so-and-so, really. It does go down. But if a client dies, which happens more often than I'd like, it does not tear down the server.

Which settings do you use/find advisable?
>>123934292
its completely up to preference desu
lots of the fancy graphics actually reduce visibilty in some ways (pitch black shadows with HDR and lense flares making stuff hard to see etc)
basically fiddle with the colours as you see fit with vibrance and curves and levels and tonemaps
lense flares as much or as little as you like etc
i personally like having deband - customfx on quite strong, it makes things look a bit smoother and you dont get as much colour strips on things and you get a bonus faint film grain if you turn it up enough
also lumasharpen and SMAA and FXAA if you like, dont go too crazy with the sharpening though otherwise stuff gets like outlined and it looks weird
also i tweak my gaussian anamflare to have a slight violet/purple colour to it
ambient light, screendirt and bloom play fairly nicely together too, a bit like the tonemapping built into the game but more luma based than chroma

>>123941145
The belt is for transport, but there are ways to configure your output so that you're only pulling what you need, when you need it instead of the horrid pileups on the belts.
Ideally, your belts should be free and clear, no inserter should have to wait for a spot on the belt, and there should always be a cleanup section to keep excess off the belt.
Again, I'll get more in depth when I get to the point of having smart chests/inserters and cables.

WHERE DEM CLANGY BITZ?
>>123941315
buddy the waiting you're seeing is literally because the belt is nearly capped on the amount of resources it can transfer
I'm not sure how your autism shitfest wants to control production in some form to the current demand but it's probably A) not worth it and B) not even realistically feasable considering all the infrastructure I'm running.
Granted, the two last factories did eventually end up clogging, but that was more because of how splitters disfunction than anything.
In the end it's simple: I'm just producing more resources than I use right now,
>>123942694
Oh Armok...
Well, my suggestion would be something like this.
Using smart chests/inserters you can configure a circuit to, on demand, send resources where they need to go.
The resource producing end would need to be set up something like furnace>blue inserter filling a chest>smart inserter pulling from that chest with a belt directing the product to a smart chest that makes the supplying smart inserter stop sending product when it reaches a certain amount of product. You can change the amount of product as need arises, but I would start with the <1 setting to get things started and then go up from there when you need larger buffers.
As said, once I get to the point of electricity that's not going to draw ayys from across the map, I'll show y'all. /Might/ have to make a video and put it on youtube or something to explain.
>>123942694
And I should mention, I was like this at one time, and then I realized how bad the whole "produce as much as possible all the time" mentality is as it causes you to be over run with ayys VERY quickly.
Though my playstyle for RTS stuff is turtle and slowly build until I can overwhelm and take out my enemies in one fell swoop, so your mileage may vary. I'm just horrified by the full belts.

>>123943340
>as it causes you to be over run with ayys VERY quickly.
Granted, my settings weren't max everything on ayy lmaos but they've send some huge waves in the past
I barely have lost a turret this game
>>123943340
>Though my playstyle for RTS stuff is turtle and slowly build until I can overwhelm and take out my enemies in one fell swoop
Stop playing against the easiest AI. For the vast majority of RTS games you'll have most success going by following doctrine
>constantly increase resource production of available territory
>spend gathered resources to acquire more territory
It usually ends when one side spirals out of control.
Rarely if ever does turtling work, because you're denying yourself the opportunity to gather resources.
>>123943835
I don't go for weapons production very quickly, that's probably a playstyle thing then.
At this point, I'm just trying to share knowledge that I believe to be helpful.
And holy shit, I'd love to see what the pollution levels are in your core chunks.
>>123944565
That's probably also my problem, I enjoyed playing against human opponent friends, so they'd usually forget about me, even though I was collecting resources but I wasn't attacking anyone until it was too late. I like making Magic decks the same way, I've come to realize.

How many times have you faced a would-be opponent, only for both of you to stand down becauseno weapons?
>>123947189
And here we go with the large calibres, which will actually behave a little bit different. Essentially, this will have both a visible projectile and work in either AP or HE mode, depending on what you load. You will get more range and speed out of AP, but HE offers area damage and increased damage, albeit at lower speeds and ranges.
120mm APFSDS
>Range: 1350m
>Speed: 1800m/s (100m/s variance)
>Damage: 250
120mm HE
>Range: 1200m
>Speed: 1300m/s (110m/s variance)
>Damage: 400 (4 blocks radius)
152mm APDS
>Range: 1350m
>Speed: 1700m/s (100m/s variance)
>Damage: 350
152mm HE
>Range: 1200m
>Speed: 1200m/s (110m/s variance)
>Damage: 500 (4 blocks radius)
230mm APDS
>Range: 1450m
>Speed: 1600m/s (100m/s variance)
>Damage: 500
230mm HE
>Range: 1200m
>Speed: 1100m/s (110m/s variance)
>Damage: 700 (5 blocks radius)
410mm APHEI
>Range: 1600m
>Speed: 1500m/s (100m/s variance)
>Damage: 650 (2 blocks radius)
410mm HE
>Range: 1200m
>Speed: 1000m/s (110m/s variance)
>Damage: 900 (6 blocks radius)
These will be loaded into single-shot fixed cannons, turrets, multi-barrel batteries, and capital ship main guns.

PvP barely happens because the mechanics for it aren't laid out properly and it's a huge risk for anyone involved, and most people are inexperienced to boot.
>>123950391
>I've never been in a fight
>that means the weapons are ineffective, and is the sole reason combat never occurs
Does the observation support the hypothesis?
>>123950902
I've been in fights on PVP servers, it mostly comes down to either ambushing someone with less turrets than you or running away from someone with more turrets than you
And if you have a better computer than the person in pursuit, you get away because of sim speed and speed limit mechanics, then eventually they get bored of chasing you.
>>123950902
Are you arguing that the weapons already in the game are satisfactory, or that the inadequacy of preexisting weapons is unrelated to the shittiness of pvp?
>>123951265
The latter. Shitty weapons are eclipsed by greater problems.
SE vanilla weapons are absolute dogshite, and completely unsuited for damaging (let alone destroying) a prepared opponent.
This owes mostly to the presence of gravity drives and low projectile velocity, as turrets can't reliably hit an accelerating target.
Should a random missile hit the target, the damage dealt will most often be underwhelming.
Even if given the incentive and weapons to perform PvP, the simple likelihood of randomly encountering anyone is too small.
Without a means of detecting players far beyond current vision range, it's simply too tedious to find anything to fire a gun at.
It's not just something that's needed for PvP, but for all multiplayer. Without it, MP is just you, your friends and those other people you'll never see in a hundred hours of playtime.

>>123950334
Next up, rockets. Since there are no missiles in Spengies (all unguided), they'll be renamed appropriately. These move slower than the projectiles, but can be used with a lot less recoil and carry more damage. I will give small ships a special rocket, the swarmer type.
36mm swarmer rocket
>Range: 900m
>Speed: 1200m/s (150m/s variance)
>Damage: 100
This will be for small launchers. Think rocket pods. The rate of fire will be high, the "magazine" size around 20 before a reload. Small ships only, can be used to saturate a flight corridor.
200mm rocket
>Range: 1200m
>Speed: 1100m/s (100m/s variance)
>Damage: 300 (3 block radius)
These will be used for single to quad tube launchers on small ships and the main rocket for large ships.
400mm heavy rocket
>Range: 1600m
>Speed: 900m/s (50m/s variance)
>Damage: 800 (5 block radius)
These will have very slow reload times and single tube only on small ships, potentially dual or quad tubed on large ships.
Also, beam weapons. These will come be different based on the platform used, and come in two colours for each of the two variants: short range cutters and long range consistent damage.
Long Range Beam Red or Orange (small/large)
>Range: 1300m
>Speed: 2400m/s (0m/s variance)
>Damage: 45 / 150
Short Range Beam Blue or Green (small/large)
>Range: 150m
>Speed: 2400m/s (0m/s variance)
>Damage: 300 / 950
These weapons will have high RoF, so they will excell at keep the weapon on target. Also, with their high speed, they are extremely precise. Yet, even long range beams have limited range, so there will be weapons that surpass them at varied tasks. Beam weapons will also be very well suited to break shields.

Next set.
Flaks are missile/fighter shields. They will have large explosion radius, comparatively short range, low damage but decent rates of fire. Think BSG. On small ships, you can head-on a fighter and fill the space between you and them with explosions, taking down rockets. On large ships, you will be abe to create shields of fire for the same purpose.
They'll engage targets at ~1km range, while having a shorter effective range, so they put up the missile shields before that target is in range. They will be able to hurt things that come to close, but other weapons are better for the actual fight.
130mm Flak Cannon (fixed & small ship only)
>Range: 650m
>Speed: 900m/s (50m/s variance)
>Damage: 90 (4 blocks radius)
200mm Flak Cannon (turret & large ship only) - fighter screen
>Range: 700m
>Speed: 900m/s (50m/s variance)
>Damage: 200 (7 blocks radius)
300mm Flak Cannon (turret & large ship only) - cap ship screen
>Range: 800m
>Speed: 900m/s (50m/s variance)
>Damage: 300 (10 blocks radius)
And at last, railguns. These come in two variants - chemrails and magrails. The prior will fire faster, but deal less damage, the latter will hit harder, but fire slower. These will ultimately be your sniper weapons. Since they are kinetic penetrators, they are also well-suited to softening shields up. Nevertheless, since they fire slowly compared to other weapons, they will not be your best bet for all purposes.
40mm Chemrail Slug (fixed/turret & large ship only)
>Range: 1900m
>Speed: 2000m/s (200m/s variance)
>Damage: 125
80mm Chemrail Slug (fixed & large ship only)
>Range: 1900m
>Speed: 2000m/s (200m/s variance)
>Damage: 200
80mm Magrail Slug (fixed/turret & large ship only)
>Range: 2000m
>Speed: 2200m/s (150m/s variance)
>Damage: 250
Also, railguns have no recoil, but impart massive amounts of impulse onto a target. The ammunition will also require uranium - as an approach to cover "energy cost", which Spengies currently does not allow for weapons.

So, yeah. That should leave us with a variety of weapons for various purposes with balanced behaviour across the board that doesn't blow up in our faces as we fire and everything has a niche. I'll have to toy with accuracy, RoF, reload times and when that's done, I'll talk about damage per minute. I'll have it so accurate guns fire slower, and high RoF results in more spread. Burst cannons will get a bit of an exemption for that.

The Brute's armoured beak, festooned with rotary blades and drills, is a terrifying weapon when slammed into an enemy starship at maximum thrust, allowing this Escort-sized ship to badly damage even a much larger and more powerful capital ship.

Gonna go to sleep now, posting one last update.
Got started on redoing the bridge, tomorrow going to add some more shit to it to make more functional and better-looking. Rebalancing everything was a bitch, but now flank speed is up to a consistent 40m/s (standard speed is unchanged, still 25m/s). However, firing torpedoes at flank speed results in them being launched through the air rather than directly into the water, not very good if you're facing someone with LAMS. Firing weapons at flank speed is also a very bad idea.
Also lengthened the barrels of most weapons, just to avoid blowing parts of my ship up. AI failsafes can be consistently retarded in some situations.
After bridge overhaul is finished I might work on reducing recoil a tiny bit, then painting. Any suggestions on colors or patterns? I'm pretty shit at all that. I was thinking dazzle camo, but I'm not sure how well that would work with this.
>>123963827
Ced will you make the weapons pack available as a separate compilation? I like the sound of what you're doing, and would like to use it on the serb me and my buddies play on.
Update from the tethering system front. Currently working on three things:
>Welding/Grinding mode
A source which holds components can translocate these components to another grid's sink, if the two grids are connected via a special, range-limited tether uplink on each side. Thinking about 1km range - maybe 500, maybe 1500, needs testing. Should make welding drones and ships much more compact and introduce a mothership - support craft situation.
>Mining mode
Same deal, but limited to ore. Thinking about a maximum of 2km range. This will make very small mining ships/drones possible, that detach from a mothership, mine, and translocate the load directly to base without having to dock first. It will also enable prolonged mining, as you won't have to fly back to dump.
>Custom models
Based on vanilla laser antenna and vanilla cargo sorter OR medium (small grid) / small (large grid) cargo container. This will take a while, because I have so much shit on my plate.
>>123968004
Currently trying to chase down all the modders to get their permissions to use their assets. A few have already replied in the positive, others haven't even accepted the friends request.
But in the end, the mod(s) will be on the workshop, with full documentation and assets. One problem is, I will have to make two versions - one with, and one without disablers. I intend to disable many weapons, such as vanilla gatlings, SANCHI hoverbike mod weapons, several Azimuth guns, and so on - this will be somewhat specific and require proper load order.
But, once I am through with it all, yes, it will be available for public use.

>>123968446
Okay, thank you.
Forgive me for being dense, but will I have to download the rest of the modpacks and then load your rebalance mod, or will it be one big mod with all the weapons rebalanced and included inside?
>>123968946
I'll make it work regardless of other mods, it will work standalone. I will also put an explanation in the description. It might cause some weird behaviour (such as some mod's guns/ammo and my adjusted guns/ammo coexisting, or two blocks with the same look but different names existing), but there is only so many things I can prepare for. I will, however, try to explain how you can use that pack without interference.
Ideally, this will alter or outright disable SANCHI weapons, several Azimuth weapons, several of Ravenbolt's compact weapons and so on (regardless of the mod's presence), so it should be irrelevant unless you add a weapon's mod I did not prepare for.
Also, you're not dense. This modding/stacking business can sometimes really go awry.
>>123969393
Ah neato, I don't currently have any mods with weapons in so that should be fine, but I like the idea of having a large variety of weapons which are balanced against each other.Thank you for your hard work Ced, no homo I swear
>>123968446

There will be equivalents, such as a 1x1x1 block 3 barrel 20mm gatling for large ships, and a 1x1x3 submergeable 20mm 6 barrel gatling turret, mind you. Just balanced to the rest. And fuck that 3x3x3 bullshit with turrets that cannot be integrated into hull designs.

Is there a way to control multiple drones at once? I want to have my fleets of small drones do suff as a fleet
>>123973257
There's an antenna WAN on the workshop. Use that to write your own drone firmware and communication protocol.
>>123973245
You technically could put some bags of holding around, surrounded by walls in case it gets >loose so that it drags the bag towards it and gets captured.
>>123968446
I feel like 2 kilometres range on the part teleport is a bit ridiculous.
Like, there's making things easier/more convenient and then there's making things trivial.
Half the fun of building things in Survival is working around issues like that - being able to resupply, etc. If you can resupply from two kilometres away from your mothership without even batting an eyelid, then you might as well just play creative imo.
I mean go with whatever, but I'll probably keep doing the old old-fashioned way.
>>123968446
>Thinking about 1km range - maybe 500, maybe 1500, needs testing. Should make welding drones and ships much more compact and introduce a mothership - support craft situation.
My Cylon fleet needs this
>>123973956
That said, if there was a way to give it a range of say 20 metres, I'd be all over that like you've no idea.
Being able to park a weldship on a little platform a-la Orcas in C&C, with no finicky physical connection requiring careful lineup and cautious parking, and fill it up would be great.
Like the equivalent of a charging plate vs a charging socket.

What surprises me most is the fact how open minded the modders seem to be for space engineers. Other mod-heavy games seem to have a lot of drama, bullshit and other faggotry surrounding modding while spess engineers seems to approach a more "advance for humanity" approach to development.

can someone help me figure out how to hydrogen thrusters? I looked online and there aren't any guides and all the videos I find are just mindless dicking around with hardly any explanation. How do I set up a hydrogen-fueled engine system in SE? Right now I have a hydrogen fuel tank with conveyors connected to all the thrusters, and I've filled the tank with hydrogen fuel tank items. What am I doing wrong?
>>123975653
You need something to make the hydrogen.
Either:
Farm - goes on the outside of a ship or station, uses sunlight to harvest Oxygen and Hydrogen. Hook this up to generate it at a very low rate, use many to create decent amounts.
Generator - plug this into your conveyor system and fill it with ice to break that ice down into Oxygen and Hydrogen. This one works much better, but obviously requires input resources that arent infinite. You need fewer of these for decent output.
Also hydrogen thrusters burn fuel FAST. So prepare for that.
>>123975894
So in that case what's the point of the hydrogen tank?
>>123975653
>hydrogen fuel tank items
You mean bottles? Those aren't for ship thrusters, they're for refueling your jetpack.
Instead, connect up an oxygen generator, and fill it up with water ice.
>tethering means I can chop my big phallic roid penetrator down to 1/3 it's length
>my little worker bee utility ship in half

I'm getting a raging engineerection over this
>>123976165
It stores the hydrogen.
You dont pour your petrol directly into your car's engine, do you.
If you mean the little bottles, those are for taking fuel OUT of the tanks to put into your spacesuit for extended dicking about outside your ship.
>>123976416
>>123976335
>>123975894
Thanks guys! I've been trying to break orbit for two days now and this was the last thing getting in my way.
>>123976658
No problem anon, enjoy space.
Good idea is to have your hydrogen thrusters with a shut-off switch so you're not always burning hydrogen when you could be using ion thrust instead. Then when you need the boost, you can reactivate them and go fast.
>>123973956
>>123974314
Thanks for the feedback. I'll take that into account. We are still in the phase where Pacas works on the code and I am pondering the model side. A NFC-style thing would be cool, too, agreed.
We might end up with 500m range. Since it is tied to a standing laser connection anyway, a mining ship inside a roid would not be able to dump anyway. Also, it's a one way trip - no resupplying with either of the systems. It will only transport ore or components. No ingots, no power or ammunition.
>>123977179
So it's just EVE, that works
>mining ships are primarily carriers of 'cans', resource tanks with three attached mining drones
>the mothership simply collects the resources from the cans
>>123977179
The laser part makes it a bit more reasonable, but yeah, i think a 500 maximum is pretty fair.
I mean, that's still a HUGE range. I dont think I've ever taken the Z further than that from the Spire. Having it be two kilometres is just crazy talk.
And then if it's 500 metres, you have the new gameplay mechanic of building waystations to beam shit around.
So if you have two bases a couple dozen kilometres apart on a planet, you gotta build signal points to move them across.
Gondor calls for construction components, and Rohan will answer.
>>123976842
One last question: is it possible to manufacture the hydrogen in my base and just transfer it to my fuel tanks via connector? Or does it HAVE to be an onboard generator?
>>123977824
Yup should be able to just fine.
It's just always a good idea to have at least one generator aboard - if you're stuck in space and have no base around, it can be handy to chuck some ice in and you're good to go.
Redundancies!
>>123977781
I already liked the idea of doing so using a sort of 'carrier pidgeon message bus' flying drone system carrying data on LCDs to be read by the base station. But this is a lot easier and cheaper in resources.
>>123977964
That's why they pay me the big bucks cedduricukun.
Oh shit now I have an excuse for an ocean of comm dishes.
Your resident engine autist working on new engines.
This one will be scalable, so you can just copy-paste what's in there to how long you need the engine to be. That said, it looks like bigger is not necessarily better—different engine designs will actually work better for different applications. Going from low energy production to high energy production will make your engine heat up like you wouldn't believe, causing a major drop in total energy capacity.
Also, make sure to test your engines before putting them in your bewt by having some dumbass setup like I have here, or quadruple-layered shields, because total energy output drops when the engine heats up (in pic related, the engine has 1600 capacity when not in use)
What you really want to avoid is a sort of heat death spiral (I'm sure there's a band with that name, all cosmologists). Basically, the engine heats up based on the ratio of total potential energy output to current energy use. As the engine heats up, total potential energy output decreases but energy use remains the same. This makes the engine heat up even more, decreasing the total...... you get the picture.
What I'm imagining right now (and this might not be the case, still looking into electric power) is that most larger vehicles will need two engines. One is optimized for low-rpm, continuous demands—propulsion, shields, that sort of thing. The other engine is optimized for high rpm, dealing with short spikes in demand—lasers, maneuvering jets/propellers, maybe ammo processors. There's a good chance that this second role will be fulfilled by electric stuff, but I'm still checking that.
>>123982320
>that engine stuff
I've clearly not played FTD for too long.
Post your latestsurvivalfriendly ship
>>123982595
New engine stuff was released sometime last week and there was more stuff released just today.
>>123982320
>There's a good chance that this second role will be fulfilled by electric stuff
Not until the generators stop using electric engine's power output to charge the batteries for said engine. Shit's retarded.
>>123983335
That would appear to no longer be the case
Now that I have the game, planning to follow through on my threat of making a colossal walking mining rig, like the bastard child of the following videos. Wish me luck, /egg/. Will be posting results.

What would you do to improve planets? My thought is;
>Add lava to planets, or something to restrict the depth you can drill. Cut rock generation below that depth to save on memory.
>Add Geothermal generators so people that dig deep are still rewarded
>Make planetary/moon ore veins fucking massive (km in radius), but of one or two varieties each.
>Intended to encourage permanent installations w/ landmarks like "Silicon Valley" or someshit
Would have to come with a lot of QoL improvements too, like rebalancing construction so you can make do and get offplanet, but all the fun toys come in after getting to mine asteroids. And giving wheels another pass so I'm not flipping my giant landcrawlers.

you say the engines aren't more powerful when big, does engine power no longer scale exponentially with the size, or is it just a more convoluted oldengine?
>>123986583
looks like it's testing thruster damage for large ships.
>>123986669
No more exponential growth. I just checked, placing each 2-long section of one of my engine designs increased available power by 600. Engines now linear.
>>123986116
reminds me of pic related
>>123986669
He means you should build them specifically built (and TUNED) for a certain application. It's way more complicated now and you have to build them to BEHAVE a certain way, not just hit an output.

You know how you can use jets as thrusters? Put a jet either behind CoM facing up (remember to set to thruster reverse) or in front of it facing down. Also, you always need more tailplanes than you think. Always.

>>123952548
I would use internal thrusters, but I've been steering towards trying to get my ships to work without those.
Plus it does have four large shield generators, so even its exposed parts should be able to handle punishment as long as it isn't prolonged, it isn't primarily a combat ship after all.

How big are you thinking? If you nail down a specific size that's a good constraint to start building around. A modern Winnebago is about 30' long, or 9m in spengies terms. Miiight need a little more space than that.
>>123995025
The remote control AP, no. You might have a chance with some of the scripted versions though.
>>123991392
Nope. Although I will say that squeezing every possible bit of power out of your ship is more reasonable now. Before, with exponential growth, anything that wasn't your one or two big engines was worthless in comparison. Now you can slip an engine in wherever there's space and it's just as effective as your main engine.
