I, Gamma92, am a moron. I am new and I am kicking myself for not even realizing this one key feature. For days, I have built, brick by brick, every single one of my ships and my station, literally placing each and every block. I have built frigates. I have built a capital. I have tried for world ships, but bogged down because, all the time, I would be placing each and every block... and you mean to tell me that, in advanced build, I can place up to a 10x10x10 area of blocks!!!!!? I can literally place sheets of armor without having to break my thumb on my gaming mouse just trying to make ONE ROW!!!? :mad:

I shall repeat myself; I. AM. A. MORON!!!! In the wise words of Markiplier, write, comment and like if you think I am a moron. :D

You can change a setting in the config file to allow much larger than 10x10x10 if you like. Also, just wait until you figure out copy/paste!

Nauvran · Nov 16, 2014

remember you can also use symmetry via the advanced build mode.
can half you work if you make a symmetrical ship.

Peasants. Get on my level. 300x300x300 :D

jzimmerman4 · Nov 16, 2014

I havent even built a ship that long yet :eek:

hahah

Gamma92 · Nov 17, 2014

I knew about symmetry, but WHAT!? Where do you go to change these settings? Btw, sorry it took me so long to comment back. My mind exploded at the copy/paste realization.

I have it set at 500x500x500.... its in the server settings in the game files. You will have to scroll down to close to the end. Btw in that file you can adjust the max speed of the server. mines set to 250

Just so I don't destroy my universe, is there a specific name to the code I should look for, both for speed and the area setting?[DOUBLEPOST=1416184580,1416184542][/DOUBLEPOST]

Look for a file named server.cfg in your StarMade folder. It will have options you can use to modify the servers you host, including the one you're playing single-player on.

500x500x500 here :p

It's way too much for most things but extremely useful for big copy paste operations. Such as copying, deleting and pasting a 350m long drone rack launcher to mirror all the logic connections.

Edit: I lied, it's actually 400m I just double checked.

oh man....things you learn......

when i first started i had spend two days building my first ship block by block. then i finally started adding weapons and systems to the awesome shell i had built.......

ooo whats this in the shop? weapon effects? DISINTIGRATORS? explosive weapons? freaking awesome!.......

ok, disintigrators added all over the ship, i should now activate them so they make my weapons awesome.................................................... :eek:

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I JUST BLEW UP MY SHIP!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WORKING ON!!!!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..............................

ya.... never mind advanced build mode and symmetries. never ever EVER make my mistake of thinking disintigrators are weapon effects. i basically covered my ship in TNT and lit the fuse. i will never forget that. after that i spent a good week or so just watching tutorials and the like so that something so devastating never happens to me again.

and the fury i felt when i learned that it wouldnt nearly have been so devastating had i known about blue prints.... now i blue print EVERYTHING!

so ya, things you learn.... :D

I remember my first ship... OP Pirates blew it up before I knew you could restrict them to Isanth IV's. Until that point, I was RAGING. Then, when I found out how to properly build a ship, there were no more pirates. :p

haha ya, pirates were my next newb obstacle. they actually destroyed a few "doom cubes" before i finally figured out how to make proper weapon combos and that shields neeeded rechargers apart from capacitors.

Man oh man oh man

Gamma92 · Nov 17, 2014

With my new found knowledge, I've made some... improvements onto my Feral Shard. Yes, btw, that is a missile cannon at the bottom, and currently, it does over 10 mill of damage. I'm not even done yet.

ToyotaSupra · Nov 17, 2014

I did the same thing. I kept grinding for pirate ships to scrap, removing the blocks one by one...

...before I realised I could mass scrap them with the 10x10x10 thing, and I could build with console commands...

Reilly Reese · Nov 17, 2014

The fortunes of having previous game command line experience and watching those old trailers before hopping on

Maybe this is the right place to ask so ... Does someone know if we can rotate around the z-Achsis?
