>cuck my ship up
But we had this thread last week
and the week before that
and the week before that
and the clang before that
Please save me from this clang
recommend me some good SMG plane I can buy in Robocuck or you guys upload your stuff
wHAT THE FUCK? I am trying to make a three firing piece turret and made sure that they were all separated so it wouldn't only load one barrel. It was working but was fucked up in a test fight to I reloaded it, and now the six way connectors all say they are connected only to the middle barrel. Has anyone else experienced this?
>A-HAS Type-19 Jinrou
You guys have seen this, right? It looks ripe for programming. And that connector belt for the gun on the brown version looks clangtastic.
Looks cool as tits either way.
>>126002956
I'd rather have a quick guide on planes
I always fuck up with aerofoils
So does a laser only work for the firing piece it is connected to or can it work for the entire turret? Do you need to set a penetration depth fuse manually if your planning on the AI to use it?
>>126002287
Due to lack of interest i'm closing the server until my normal hosting time.
To all the euros that asked me to host earlier, fuck you.
>>126002012
Keepin' it short this time.
To join us, follow these instructions:
>Add/msg this guy: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ced23ric to get invited to the access group.
Only people in that group will be able to join the server, that way I can control who has access and we don't get unwashed pubbies.
>Hit "Subscribe to All" on this collection: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=375603526
>In SE, Workshop, Preload World. Start it once to preload all mods. 1.5GB OF DATA. COURIER PIDGEON INTERNET BEWARE.
You can also use that world for offline building and blueprinting it on the serbian later.
Quick rule overview:
- PvP is opt-in between two (or more) consenting parties. Period. Only exception: the gravwell of Arrakis.
- Only one drill per player. Take the Large Ship Earthbreaker, it's a good drill.
- 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.
Planned features:
- New server really soon. Ignore 10th of January. Happenign stauts: IT's.
- New & final Arrakis: Drawing the map now. Want to partake? Look here:

Look up "Danzigs with Angles" on the roboshop. Its the plane we were using last night to style all over everyone in the air.
Dont have to buy it if you dont want to. Just look at it and see how the areofoils are placed and how thrusters are used around it to get it to move right.

>still kicks ass and on top of team

>>126006164
Also adding that generally if you want to fly a plane in high tiers a real life looking plane will get shit on by meta gaming tryhards in thruster sticks.
Youll need to make a literal fucking brick covered in 12 wings if you want to play in that tier.
>>126006421
Can't wake up.
And anyway, haven't they made it so tiers 7-10 are now all the same as tier 10 except now all the things that didn't use to be tier 10 are now gonna get shat on?
Are we still doing Dune terrain?

If anyone is interested I set up a gmod server with wiremod and spacebuild.
IP is 185.38.148.76:27125
Only a 10 man server atm, might upgrade depending on interest.
>>126007292

>Simple Automation
Holy crap, this is simpler than Lua. Why do we not talk about this? It lets you script in spengies without using C#. I might actually do shit now.
>>126006714
>And anyway, haven't they made it so tiers 7-10 are now all the same as tier 10 except now all the things that didn't use to be tier 10 are now gonna get shat on?
Its not so much that 7-10 are the same now, as much as they adjusted the robot ranking amount on all the parts, so now a bot that might have been T7 before is now max ranked.
So if they want to go back down to the T7 area they'll have to use some lower level parts like smaller guns/wheels/radars/etc.
And they dont call it tiers anymore. Now its just "Robot Ranking". 24,000RR is the max tier, or basically the old T10.
We've found a really nice sweet spot at 6000RR that allows for nice builds and is relatively tryhard free. Go much higher than that and you open yourself up to people being able to use guns that instantly shred everything that moves from across the map, helicopters with 10+ rotors that absolutely will not die, and literal swarms of thruster stick drones swirling around in the skies that outclass every other build in the game.
I really like the new Besiege levels. Finally something you can't necessarily win with a flying machine. By the way, convoy level is shit, SHIT!

>>126008402
Just so I can join later, what version are you using?
>>126007656
I'll try to remember that number.
So anyway, the robutt seems like the wings are above the centre of mass, a bit to the back and they're all rudders.
Is this ideal? Are rudders there just because they're harder to hit and easier to conceal?
>>126006143
something like this should be cool

>>126006143
What resolution for the Arrakis map images is preferable?
>>126009127
0.12.20
>>126009263
I used rudders because the actual wing parts are fucking gigantic. Yeah they can carry more than rudders, but they are so huge they are very hard to protect.
If you dont care about looks, and want to have multiple redundant wings, or found a cool way to arrange multiple wings, go with wings.
If you are going for minimal wings, or want something easy to conceal, use rudders.

Railing is suffering. But tell that to Freejam on their forums and youll get 100 responses telling you "Yeah well I personally have no problems with trials and in fact I get all the kills every round! Maybe you just need to git gud! :^)"

I just want to see what >>126012324 would actually look like
>>126009972
Height maps are 6 images of 1048x1048.
1px is 180m length.
1% brightness is about 50m height.
>>126012324
>>126012509

The general coverage will be rolling dunes and flat desert.
What I am looking for are specific things. Such as, a caldera, and ice lake at the bottom of a ravine, etc.
>>126012028
Its not their speed, its their maneuverability that dominates everything else. They can quickly flip around all over the fucking place, and drop, climb and take off in any direction they want. Can turn on a dime.
So while you are desperately trying to hit this fucking brick thats moving all over the fucking place, you are stuck on the ground making you an easy target. And if you do happen to majorly cripple one and it falls behind a hill, it will auto-heal and be back up flying again in no time at all.
They also shit on other flyers too because of that same maneuverability. Helicopters and Planes at least fly a certain way, and open themselves up to certain disadvantages. Thruster sticks bypass those and basically have no downsides unless you made one that was very badly designed.
Best way to kill them is if you entire fucking team is trying to shoot one down. But they usually come in pairs of two, or sometimes even 3-4 on teams.
The matchmaker also doesnt detect if something is a thrusterstick. So while if gives you team 3 legit planes/copeter, the enemy team might get 3 sticks instead and will dominate your team.
>>126012294
Ive tried that too. Rails are still shit. Better off taking SMGs. Can snipe people even better with them by tap firing, and they shred people up close. Rails are fucked if anything gets close because LOL ONLY 6 SHOTS.

Okay, so.
The new server is up and running, thanks to the magnificient Keo, former lord of Neetfleet and Knight Protector of the New Serbian Order. Our host company decided to deliver faster than the 10th of January and here we are, with the new serb. It's costing me 108bucks a month to run this. I am not gonna put a paywall in front of it, or make the life of the server dependant on your assistance, as I am well aware that many of you play autismal games because of the neet life. Nevertheless, if you feel generous, you can add some dosh here: https://www.patreon.com/ced23ric and check out my sick rewards.They're shit, holy fuck.There is no need to give anything to play, and while I'm happy for every buck, I won't ever force you guys to cough up dough or threaten to take the server down unless we meet X goal. I am not Wikipedia.
I am happy we got the new box. It opens up so many possibilities.
>>126014785
That'd be violently of kilter, because it's black (-1500m) and almost white (4000m), so ... massive differences. But I can work with it!

>>126014915
See all those aereorods you have you have going sideways in the wings? Flip them the other way so they go front to back.
As it is not you could get hit at the tip of the wing and damage could transfer through the rods right into the main body of your plane. Put them so they are lined up front to back instead and damage that hits a rod will stay in the wing by just spreading to another rod or block in the wing.
Should also add some thrusters pointing up/down in the nose area that will allow it to maneuver much faster.
>>126015739
I always thought that would be cool but on a cellular level, you'd write DNA sequences and they'd code for proteins that fold up and do things in the game world.
But it would be so complicated to do that it would be more worthwhile to just learn biochemistry.
Please include some kind of race track, even if its just a big oval, I'd love somewhere to chill and make cars.
>>126015982
What even does so much damage it could go all the way through all that aerorod? I think a cross-hatch pattern would work the best actually. Maybe. We need cross connector rods.
Put a single up thruster in the nose of the plane since it wasn't going up so well. It's hidden behind the glass.
But that aside
The question is
Is it beauty, the beast or that fucking teacup?

Going from DNA to protein is relatively simple, but figuring out the protein 3D structure is gonna take more computing power than SE during ship collisions.
>>126015660
Depending on how Arrakis looks, I might be moving the Lali mercantile spaceport there. The lack of water on the moon, and therefore shorelines, is really bothering me.
That said, it might be a lot safer to just stick a few Wormhole portal facilities on Arrakis that link to the trading ost.

The game doesn't have to have proteins fold in such a complex way as IRL. Each amino acid could just attract/repel others on the basis of some repulsion/attraction rather than trying to worry about Van der Waals forces, solvent exclusion, pi-stacking and so on.
Then you could have cool things like killing enemy cells by having an enzyme that fucks with their proteins and makes them refold into something harmful, stuff like that.
>>126018175
Can put as many rails on as you want, but only 6 will ever be charged at a time and ready to fire. That goes for all guns. 6 is the max, and anything extra is just for redundancy.
>>126017590

What is wrong with you that you can't make effective guns? With advanced cannons you can make superguns that blow gigantic holes in everything or snipe AI cores from miles away. Or you can use CCs and shoot a continuous stream of zero recoil HE rounds out of a gun that takes virtual no space.

Submarines are only effective against the campaign enemies because most of them have exactly zero means of attacking a submarine. A few of them have torpedoes and some of the airships have cannons that can hit them (Coffin nails kill subs ded). Obviously the NPC submarines that exist are entirely capable of fighting submarines.
Funnily most of the NPC submarines are ridiculous cheese boats with shields and are so fast that most torpedoes can't catch them. The fact that most of the default content of the game is horrible cheese, particularly at the high end doesn't really help the game much.

Just looking through random little scripts in the workshop I'm finding a lot of ways to do a ton of damage on planets.

You mean like the window pour of Big Bend National Park?
The heightmap isn't mine, by the way. Could probably get what you want by just applying gradient to the entire map, though.
>>126034926
no, I mean like level with the desert floor.

Oh. So you want the canyon to cut through a mesa.

Re-finished my auto-stabilizing planetary transport. has Arma-esque auto-hover, and also cruise control.
How bad does it look? What should I call it?
>>126022571
Fuck I remember that thread. best time I ever had on /v/.
>>126038673
I like it
how does the auto-stabilizing work?got webum?
>>126022571
I'm not in the know, please explain.
>>126038936
I would, but I cant get the wemb for retards to install on my new pc
Maybe I'm not retarded enough
>>126039101

You have to install it?
I've been using this thing since release and it still works fine. No installing.

There we go, this one doesn't demonstrate it too well. I have to step away for a sec, but I'll make a better one after.
It uses a script that overrides gyros in order to keep your thrusters pointing against your direction of motion. Perfect for making tiny atmos craft that only need one thruster/heliblade.
I have literally spent the last twelve hours playing this game.
All I have done in those 12 hours is create three ships, and have four ships succumb to clang. Those ships are the three I made and our mobile base containing everything we own.

so fucking comfy. how do i share map seeds? or rather, where do i find the seed for a map? i wanna start more games on this baby.
serb down?
rain on blanets when?water when?
To remind everybody that the server is up:

>>126046387
>24.156.111.226
Wow, in game browser is a shit
I've lost so much time to thinking the server was down because it randomly decides when to show up on my History
the SHOAH is complete :^)
>>126046687
i thought space engineers had only smaller guns
whats that on the bottom right
>>126047472
shit that has to be modded in because the devs are lazy hypesters who almost never actually add any new content to the game
>>126046387
Is there a specific port or is the serb down? It says not responding
rip serb?
>>126048752
game crashed for me
>>126015163
pls respond to my wonderful terrain
This was on the comments for the M thrusters mod
Seems like a cool idea
SUGGESTION:
Give these things a complete overhaul.
Make them useable in planets. Spicificly, make them VERY powerful, but only function at 100% below 20 meters, and tapers off to 10% at 40 merters. Slightly lower for the small block variants. Get in, set the lifters override to 100% and your ship will hover between 20 and 40 meters. Take the key off the same code that gives your ship its altitude in the HUD.
The result? A MATRIX type hover engine for large ships.
ANOTHER result: Landspeeders made real for small ships. A uber fast replacement for wheels. Eat dust Luke Skywalker.
To make work they would be VERY powerful at 20 meters or below, but use vastly LESS power than a vanilla atmospheric engine.
Cliffs and mountians would still be obsticles to vehicles equiped with the new hover engine.
Interested?

Ladies and gentlemen, that's it. Space exploration is over. A goatse asteroid exists.
Need one more guy on the ground.
I now have an emotional investment in this Atmospheric Mining Dong, or AMD.
gameplay in Robocuck is now completely fucked up, every weapon sucks

plasma flyers seem to be the OP combination
>>126064318
I dunno man, you're doing something wrong.
SMG is REALLY strong right now. You just gotta fire in bursts at longer range to let your bloom go down.
Flyers are way easier to kill than a proper tank.
Adding loads of blocks barely increases your RR now but your health goes up by a lot.
Go for 2 tracks, 7 or 8 weapons and LOADS of armor for maximum tonk mode.
Auto repair doesn't really make flyers super OP, you just gotta build a fast enough robit to hunt them down after you down them.
Lesson: More grounding blocks

Here's to those who were asking for a better skybox. This one came out today, and this is what Keen does to it.
>>126065792
why is there so much color banding?
I thought we left the 16 bit era more than a decade ago?
>>126065824
DX9 renders them fine, DX11 rapes them for some reason. It won't get better than our current skybox unless keen fixes it.
>>126065824
You tell me. Here's the original texture.
map is fucked on serb, ground is full of holes you fall through
>>126066006
Cool.
What planet?
How did that happen?
Did you relog or did another player see that, too?
Please give fully qualified error reports, anon.

I found one of the later threads, I'm not even sure I've seen shots of the first ones.
Basically, some guy created an eldritch horror and began wiping out all life on his planet.
>>126066195
When can we /egg/spect Arrakis?
>>126066195
moon and earth so far, random locations, happens to everyone that steps in said spots, spots do not move even through restarts

Here's a fan drawing for reference.
Anyone know how far he got in those threads? I have a feeling he got off-world.
We're coming to free the shit out of you.
>>126066371
I turned it off a long time ago because it was causing a lot of problems when saving, i have to turn it on again and see if the game shit itself or not, it may be the solution to my problems.
>>126066786
Spore could have been so much better
I know it's redundant to say that constantly but considering how much I enjoyed spending several billion years in constant worldwide warfare before finally making it to space I can only imagine how much fun it would have been to do the same in a better game

Anyone been doing anything with voxels? I was inna orbit, autisming over a 'chopper.
>>126067183
Same. For a start, I'd like a game where everything doesn't look and sound like a mutated Pixar creation.
>>126067225
its them damn planet holes i tell's ya
>>126067225
I was mining an asteroid, standard business, had been at it for a while before the crash.
>>126066858
Are you falling through the planet or just falling into an open-air hole (ie. can you fly back out?). Sounds like the game may not be rendering the correct voxel geometry.
>>126041145
>mfw I am literally building a mother-dropship called the Sycamore.
Great minds
>>126067532
falling through solid ground, sometimes you can fly back out the invisible hole other times no and you have to right click drill
>>126067225
Now my sparky is partially inside an asteroid and clanging like crazy. Somehow it's not breaking, but spawning in the medbay is instadeath.
>>126068050
Update: It broke after I managed to enter the cockpit immediately after spawning. Now it's clanging like hell even though it's not even touching the asteroid.

the ACB upgrades make new engineering possible.
quick test rig, I think this kind of design would work better on a large vessel with lots of inertia.

It's not that I have much against roboshit, it's that I don't agree with calling it engineering. There's no rotating parts, no settings, its literally a drivable minecraft block.

could you be ANY more for a spengie shill?
>>126069375
But you are wrong.
>>126069505
I don't play spengees. It's frustratingly unreliable and not really that much fun at all.

You gotta figure out how to strap as many guns as possible on something that can move
>>126070148
on that point
how have guns been rebalanced now anyway?
since there are no longer armor tiers, how are low and high level guns being delt with?
>>126070148
Isn't the maximum amount still six?
>>126070201
The power curve has been severely flattened.
Bigger movement parts and guns still have a bit more HP, though.
I guess they mostly rely on higher tier bots having more blocks (bigger weapons need more room, more CPU available). So that means they have more health to deal with the slight increase in weapon damage.
>>126070216
A maximum of 6 guns are usable at a time, any more is for redundancy. But going past 9 is really silly, IMO. Better go for more armor or speed.
>>126068245
That only happens with modular thrusters, they are broken, you can move fine if you have enough power
>>126068768
Oh, they kept the damage model in? That's nice.
