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.

http://robocraftgame.com/forums/topic/proto-seeker-update-coming-tomorrow/
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.
Standard conveyors, like tubes and utilities are unrestricted and bi-directional.

>>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 was thinking to use a horizontal mobo to have the card vertical and avoid even the "natural" bend.
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.

Just did a quick google and apparently that rotor method needs creative mode. I'm on a DS on Survival mode, so no dice. Anyone got any ideas or will I just have to give up on my dreams of a totally sweet large grid booster pack?

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.

Had the idea of a bug based robot base.
>6 legged front part with all base basic stuff, energy storage and defence turrets
>back belly to carry refineries, arks and assemblers, and also little miner drones to drill shit nearby.
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.

I recommend that option, I have a SilverstoneRaven RV02which mounts the motherboard vertically and I had two GPUs and there was no bending anywhere. The newer models are super mega edgy but there's another case by Silverstone which is a lot less ow the edge

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.

I need to transmit rotational force into the freely spinning inner section, but since it rotates it screws with the drivechain, but if I put the power source in the middle I can't activate it from the main body

>tfw still refuse to buy Spengies because miner wars were a massive ripoff
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.
OH SHIT
