The game industry for hard engineering isn't big enough to go past novelty games and indie projects.
Look at GearBlocks, complete with the best Lego Technic-like gears and working gearbox. Ded
Look at Mengies, structural damage in 3D, ropes and large/small grid interactions. Megaded
Look at Besiege, fun gameplay, easy construction and good looking. Flavor of the month February 2015
>>135917269
its difficult to make a sandbox game that stays alive if your game has no end goal
sandbox games by definition aren't really supposed to have an end goal, that's why they drop you in a sandbox and say "play"
but then after playing for a few hours you start saying "but why am I doing anything in this sandbox when I can't do anything with it"
ergo your 'sandbox' game needs some form of goal or endgame content to stay alive longeror needs to not stagnate in alpha for a century while the devs chase the AI unicorn
Also I finally finished editing the first video from the pirate base raid event, might as well post it since LCB is ded. It's processing now but should be ready to watch in a few.

I find bringing a shield as a medic is the best way to get a retarded megabot player to move forward.
You throw down a shield anywhere and they huddle behind it like an idiot no matter where it is.
So if you want the dumbfuck to move up you just throw the shield down 50ft ahead and he'll run right over to it.

This whole post Drognin made makes me want to kill myself. They are basically saying they want thier game to appeal to the lowest common denominator of shitty players that exist on earth.
The sad thing is that this game will drag itself along for several more years, getting worse and worse, until its so terrible that it cant even sustain itself anymore.
Im tired of games with an amazing premise slowly turning to shit because of incompetent devs.
It also appears that alot of robocraft players think that the Proto-seeker is TOO WEAK, even though it can tear people to shreds with lockon homing bullets that bend around corners from across the map. They seriously want it to be even stronger.

If you dont build cars in robocraft in an extremly specific way they literally just start spinning out and sliding around uncontrollably. Its ridiculous.

>>135911140
Building things in starmade sucks in general. Only being able to place blocks on surfaces visible to the camera is utter shit and means it's incredibly hard to edit the inside of a ship, slabs are buggy and the interface is shit generally.
The game overall isn't interesting enough to warrant dealing with it.

I tend to disagree, I find spengies' click drag to be very haphazard, and building in astronaut form feels really clunky.

Unless you restrict direction with a sorter, all connected utilities will be able to transfer items. Sorters are one-way item filters that can either passively let allowed items through our actively pull all allowed items from connected inventories.

>>135974748
Old Hawken General participant here. Basically, >>135974748 has it right. The grind for plain ingame currency was extremely tedious. You would only get a rather small amount of credits per match, meaning that grinding new mechs, weapons, and additional ability boosters and support weaponry was hellish unless you only wanted to play a couple dedicated mechs, and even then it's still a long grind to get everything you might want without paying. Did I mention that all the necessary purchasable shit (primary weapons, ability boosters, support weaponry) you can buy is only for the specific mech you get it for? Grindfest ho. Better start working through about 30 long-ass games to get one single attachment you need.
If that wasn't bad enough, the matchmaking isn't even matchmaking. Literally, it just throws you into a game with people close to your MMR, regardless if all the best players were on the opposite team. Actual decent games that had a close ending were few and far between, because about 90% of the time any mode you played would be a massively one-sided clusterfuck. This was due to some peopleIt's an F2P title, of course the idiots had to show upjust not understanding the mechanics of the game, or perhaps not bothering to learn. Too many players just treated every single mode, all four of them, like TDM. Playing with stupid people eventually made others want to stop playing. Stupid people getting shit on constantly because they couldn't be assed to push to the objective with the group, or just failing at dodging, aiming, etc. really made the game unbalanced.
>>135998623
To top this whole pot of "fuck your shit" off, the paywall. The mother. Fucking. Paywall. You want XP and credit boosters? Pay up. You want your mech to not look like ass? Fork over the shekels, goy. Want every attachment and weapon you might possibly need without spending a full day's worth of time trying to not get fucked over by retarded teammates?
Granted, Meteor and Adhesive Games put some damn nice work into the game. Visuals look sweet as hell, actual gameplay kicks ass when both teams are skilled, the lore of the game would make for a nice story, and they even tried catering to feminists when they started bitching about an advert with a sexy woman engineer. So they changed it to pic related. Top kek to whoever thought that up.
At the same time though, their game decisions made for some fucky balance that the best players immediately took advantage of. Flak Cannon Scouts were nearly unkillable when piloted by git gud master tryhards. EOC predators could be used to spam capture points with mines like no tomorrow, with no skill. And technicians, with their auto-lockon healing/damage beam? The worst mech by far, simply because it was so unbalanced in team-based modes. Combined with a lack of new content and a shitty profit return on the developer's investment into the game, people stopped playing, and the game stopped getting updates. People are still playing on the servers, but the numbers are probably between 10 and 200 if I had to guess. All in all, a bad ending to what could have been a good game.
And I can't find a link to it, but a few months ago there was a news article stating that Meteor had sold their Seattle office to try and cover about $2.1 million of debt. Take it as you will.

I've been struggling at this for a day or two with a wailing and gnashing of teeth. Is it possible to make a Large Grid attachment for a Small Grid ship that does not, on a DS, attract every single possible bug, weird glitch and netcode issue that could possibly exist within the code of Spengies?
It's so I can bring a large grid ore detector with my small grid mining ship. Ended up, out of necessity to make it not fuck up, becoming a much larger beast with it's own reactor. However it still just causes terrible physics problems and in one case a bizarro sort of desync.
>>136022868
why not just make a large grid mining ship?
>>136023023
I enjoy being able to duck inside asteroids easily to get at the stuff in the hollow ones easier. Otherwise though, it's a mix of being proud of my piece of shit mining ship - i'm onto the ninth one now, every single previous one has been destroyed, lost to or just inexplicably vanished as a result of bugs and netcode issues - and the fact that I think a big booster attachment thing is cool. And really i'm playing Spengies to make cool things, not purely functional and boring things.
I am aware this may be a poor choice of game for this purpose.
>>136022868
using rotors to do the small-big ship attach.
>>136023520
Never actually touched rotors. I only recently got a two-stage piston elevator more-or-less working on my WIP space station.
So far i've been attaching it with a connector mounted on rear of mining ship. Later added a large-grid landing gear clamp to help avoid any mishaps, only for that to predictably CAUSE bizarro fucking mishaps and end up removed. At this point i'm honestly considering giving the fuck up and using jump drive to get between asteroids i've already scouted instead.

an actual nice solution would be to use a large ship grid with batteries, an antenna and the ore detector, and wil broadcast the ore locations while floating nearby while your mining part of that mix goes to drill.
>>136026741
carrier ship a+ solution, bonus if the carrier has refiners in it
>>136026741
+1 for the space carrier idea
this has given me a new idea to repurpose our first aircraft carrier build thing into more of an autonomous or remote controlled mining drone ship that we can send out to asteroids
ayy good night /egg/
>>136026741
That was actually the original plan. Trying to get it to work properly though caused it to spiral out of control.
First it was just those parts.
Then I realised it wasn't symmetrical and was fucking up flight so I added a second antenna.
Realised now having it fuck up flight vertically so I added some stabilising thrusters and gyros.
Then I realised this was too heavy to pull anymore so it also needed acceleration and braking thrusters.
Then I realised how energy hungry this would be for the small ship's reactor so added one plus some solar panels to the Booster.
Then I found it to have trouble staying connected during acceleration or braking because netcode so added a landing gear as a clamp.
That's where I reached before just giving up because it was just attracting more and more bugs and netcode issues as it went along.

I lost the save with this mech in particular, but it was a small blocks build, so cant make a base out of it, now im thinking in something like that size, but with big blocks this time.
Learned alot about legs and shit doing this, its muscle based in the joints, like strings, but with pistons.
The fire rises.

Iktf. Flak is even more powerful since the update, missiles were left untouched, protoseekers are ridiculously no effort, wings are now fucked, auto-heal is too strong, armor strength is shit, wheels still pointless, railguns are still complete ass to aim, the list goes on and on. Fun is dead. I've been hanging on since damn near the beginning of /rcg/, but I'm really starting to get tired of Freejam's shit, especially lately. They took a step in the right direction with the update that got rid of hitscan, but then shat all over it by keeping missiles op and then decreasing lock-on time, then adding no-skill-required protoseekers.
I'm a persistent bastard so I'll hang on for a while yet, but if they continue dumbing the game down like they've been doing lately, I'm gonna have to force myself to find something else to play.

Damn this looks fun.
How clangy is the atmospheric travel on car and in an aircraft? You can make an airplane or some other flying thing, right?
How clangy are the planets in general if i intend to just travel around, building things here and there?
How is the view distance? If i build a large structure, will it be visible from afar?
>>136082010
And yet it opens up SO MANY OPPORTUNITIESalso two axis normal spinners when
>>136082038
>>tfw still refuse to buy Spengies because miner wars were a massive ripoff
They literally only made the game to get their engine prepared for spengies.
>>136082038
aircraft atmos travel isn't terrible but I have run into weird bugs while getting out of a planet's atmosphere where for a split second, the ship will say "Someone else is using this ship!" while i'm the only one in it, and then it will clang and usually blow up
it only happened once or twice but it was pretty consistent when it did.
Rover travel is pretty difficult since wheels are so flimsy right now, if you make a rover it better have thrusters to un-flip it or be able to drive from any angle, or have enough gyroscopes to flip itself. There's also mods that can increase the tenacity of wheels by about tenfold and make them far more forgiving to impacts if you're not satisfied with them. I personally made a rover with a huge array of hydrogen thrusters so I could take it for short flights across really rough terrain or save it from an impact.
>planets
blaneds aren't terribly optimized and since the game has a weird speed limit of 111.5 m/s, even if you mod that limit out, doing something like flying with your jetpack faster than 111.5 m/s and then turning it off will really quickly slow you back down to 111.5 m/s even though you should be in free fall, but if you just turn your jetpack's dampeners off, you'll act as you should normally. It can also be pretty cool to build several small self-sustaining bases that generate things like oxygen or power while you're not there and revisit them later to charge your batteries or something. If you wanted to, you can set up an antenna network to make sure you can access the machines there from anywhere as long as you have an antenna near you.
View distance is all right, but the LOD textures can interact weird with what exists on the surface of a planet if you're far enough away. Cameras have a zoom feature with the mouse wheel that you can use to look at further away things.
Just put floral density onto low or off because it adds nothing but eye candy and half the time it spawns floating 1km in the sky.

My biggest problem with spengies is that you grind and grind to make something relatively small (Even on the x10 settings) and on it's first or third flight/dispatch a bugged piston throws your beloved creation 60 meters in to the sky. You watch in horror as that neat mining rig you worked so hard on plummets faster and faster towards the ground.
The only thing left from what could only be describes as a divine intervention, is a creator in the ground.

Also where's spaceport 2
So, after returning to the atmosphere using the recoil of a CRAM, I've managed to make it supersonic (or at least, achieve the 340m/s mark).
Also, I found a bug >>136105562

You do realise you can dupe items still in spengies right?
Just drop an item and mash the pickup button/ turbo macro and you will pick it up a bunch of times, even better if the server is chugging.
Makes multiplayer much more fun when you don't need to worry about resources (and your enemies do).
>>136127656
Is that the 'right click to get exact items' thing? Useful, but for large grid components you still find yourself going back and forth. Just at a slightly faster rate because less picking out exact things. Fucking amazing mod though, yeah, can't imagine being without it now.

>power usage: overload
you should do a quick check to see how fast your ship can accelerate in space with its strongest thrusters
then take into account that if it's ion, you'll get at the least 30% of that thrust once near the surface of a planet. If it's atmospheric, you'll only get any thrust at all once you reach 10000m, and it won't be a lot until you get to around 2000m. And also realize that to be able to not splatter yourself and actually move on the surface, your ship needs to be able to accelerate itself upwards at about 10m/s/s if you plan on hanging out in 1G.

Ground combat looks promising, but there are two things that bother me: recoil and friction.
While recoil can be mitigated to a certain extent, the fact that a 300 mass vehicle can keep moving forward at 11m/s despite it's wheels turned off is a bit weird. It's like driving on ice.

The problem is that those retards haven't tried making a damage/usefulness gauge to judge what weapons at certain tiers should be, so these newer, extremely powerful things are appearing from tier ~5 upwards.

>>136187051
You can also use 3 timers in a weird way to have a half second delay, but the timers seem to reset to a whole number when you try to edit it. The piston timer is really really fast.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCuvdv8FO54
>>136187642
Thanks anon, might look into that.
Currently i have it on two timers triggering each-other so one full loop is 4 seconds. (raise, move across, lower, move across)
>>136188658
You should set it up so there are just two movements, up and down, up raises the leg and brings it forward in one motion, then it's reversed and pushes down and forward with the help of gravity. You could use different speed rotors to have it go up/down first, then it drags forward slower. I didn't mess with different speeds but now I think about it, it seems like it might work a bit better. Shame the game is beyond hope.
Can someone see if the item duping works on this zf server people keep talking about? Might be fun to roam the server picking fights in a warship. Unless it is all carebears.

This desu senpai. I see no reason to ever bother visiting planets. Ice moons are good for stockpiling a shitload of hydrogen but that's about all I can think of.
>>136281684
Each part of the mask only has the health of a single full cube. Same as all the other masks. They would work as the shittiest armor ever.
The only kind of advantage they have is that rail gunners and everyone else see a cosmetic mask and shoot there first. Its like painting a target on your robot.
So stick it in some worthless spot to draw attention away from your more important bits and congrats, you've re-directed all damage you take until the mask is gone.

Also, how do missles work now? I seem to be unable to just plug them in and shoot. I click to fire them, it sucks up my Power to do so; but doesn't actually shoot anything.
>>136284383Are you sure?
>>136284664
Usuall that means you dont have enough power to fire it. Is it giving you that "not enough power" or whatever it says every time you try to fire?
Look in your weapons tab to look at how much energy it uses per missile. Then add more power capacitors until you can match that energy or preferebly go way past it so you have alot of excess power. Then add more reactors so it doesnt recharge like ass. Its a never ending cycle.
Missiles and lasers use a fuck load of power though. And adding stuff like weapon slaves and effects usually drives up the power usage even more.
>>136284926
Nah I'm still at 80% power when I launch my missles, they just dont launch. Says they take about 4.6K power each.
>>136285112
Well shit. Is your weapon compyter facing forward? Your weapons literally fire in whatever direction your computer is facing in. If its sideways or backwards it might be launching them out the back of your ship or something.
Its how you make cool ass vertical launch missiles and such.
>>136285112
How much power each missile tube/group takes?
How many groups do you have?
What's the reload time?
How many missiles does it fire at once per group?

According to my spreadsheet and the information you provided and assuming tubes only fire one missile each, you need:

Not really. 99% of robocrafts playerbase is borderline braindead drooling morons. And you only get put into matches based on whatever your current robots "Robot Rank" is. 25,000 is the maximum robot ranking where the most tryhard shit goes on. 0-6000 is a good range for non tryhard shit.

No you can't. You can't get a 40m blast radius on any weapon because explosions are hard limited to a radius of 11m. The largest possible explosion is 23 meters in diameter.
What happens with an explosion that has an on-paper radius larger than that is that it experiences less damage falloff toward the outside of explosion.

While not truly an engineering game (hopefully not yet, but sometime soon). I'm holding my breath and expecting good things from empyrion.
Which is saying a lot after so many, many years of early access disappointments.
It took less than 24 hours for Twitter to corrupt an innocent AI chatbot. Yesterday, Microsoftunveiled Tay— a Twitter bot that the company described as an experiment in "conversational understanding." The more you chat with Tay, said Microsoft, the smarter it gets, learning to engage people through "casual and playful conversation."
Unfortunately, the conversations didn't stay playful for long. Pretty soon after Tay launched, people starting tweeting the bot with all sorts of misogynistic, racist, and Donald Trumpist remarks. And Tay — being essentially a robot parrot with an internet connection — started repeating these sentiments back to users, proving correct that old programming adage: flaming garbage pile in, flaming garbage pile out.
Now, while these screenshots seem to show that Tay has assimilated the internet's worst tendencies into its personality, it's not quite as straightforward as that. Searching through Tay's tweets (more than 96,000 of them!) we can see that many of the bot's nastiest utterances have simply been the result of copying users. If you tell Tay to "repeat after me," it will — allowing anybody to put words in the chatbot's mouth.
However, some of its weirder utterances have come out unprompted.The Guardianpicked outa (now deleted) example when Tay was having an unremarkable conversation with one user (sample tweet: "new phone who dis?"), before it replied to the question "is Ricky Gervais an atheist?" by saying: "ricky gervais learned totalitarianism from adolf hitler, the inventor of atheism."
But while it seems that some of the bad stuff Tay is being told is sinking in, it's not like the bot has a coherent ideology. In the span of 15 hours Tay referred to feminism as a "cult" and a "cancer," as well as noting "gender equality = feminism" and "i love feminism now." Tweeting "Bruce Jenner" at the bot got similar mixed response, ranging from "caitlyn jenner is a hero & is a stunning, beautiful woman'
>>136328338
& is a stunning, beautiful woman!" to the transphobic "caitlyn jenner isn't a real woman yet she won woman of the year?" (Neither of which were phrases Tay had been asked to repeat.)
It's unclear how much Microsoft prepared its bot for this sort of thing. The company'swebsitenotes that Tay has been built using "relevant public data" that has been "modeled, cleaned, and filtered," but it seems that after the chatbot went live filtering went out the window. The company starting cleaning up Tay's timeline this morning, deleting many of its most offensive remarks.
TAY'S RESPONSES HAVE TURNED THE BOT INTO A JOKE, BUT THEY RAISE SERIOUS QUESTIONS
It's a joke, obviously, but there are serious questions to answer, like how are we going to teach AI using public data without incorporating the worst traits of humanity? If we create bots that mirror their users, do we care if their users are human trash? There are plenty of examples of technology embodying — either accidentally or on purpose — the prejudices of society, and Tay's adventures on Twitter show that even big corporations like Microsoft forget to take any preventative measures against these problems.
For Tay though, it all proved a bit too much, and just past midnight this morning, the bot called it a night:
c u soon humans need sleep now so many conversations today thx
In an emailed statement given latertoBusiness Insider, Microsoft said: "The AI chatbot Tay is a machine learning project, designed for human engagement. As it learns, some of its responses are inappropriate and indicative of the types of interactions some people are having with it. We're making some adjustments to Tay."
All I want from spengies is proper NPCs so we can have simulation of factions and faction wars, infantry wars on planets, and space not being littered by some malevolent AI ships.

Railguns a shit, bombchutes are the way to go

I decided to play some robocraft thanks to the alienware code. It was kinda fun at first. Then I encountered game after game full of these annoying little protoseeker drones. They're really annoying, just hovering way above my head and pelting my bot with little shots.
It's pretty satisfying seeing one of those tumbling out of the sky though. They're very fragile.
