If you press the button to change a factory's production, you can type a string to filter the dropdown list. For example, in a basic factory click the button which has "(change)", type "rod", and click the dropdown menu. The list will then show all of the rod lights, or more precisely all...

It may be that you have to actually do some damage to summon pirates. The old/original station has no shields, and firing on a block immediately summoned some Isanths. A couple of days ago I was assaulting a new station, destroying the turrets first (during which a number of pirates appeared)...

They do, at least in the new single-player universe I started a few days ago.

I believe a chunk is 16x16x16, but is that the same as a segment? In an old message kupu seemed to indicate that it is related to blocks drawn, and not necessarily a radius of chunks around the player. Perhaps it is a measure of chunks containing something to be drawn, i.e. empty chunks do not...

The i7 processor has an Intel GPU built-in. You'll want to use the Nvidia control panel to set it to use the Nvidia GPU for javaw.exe.

That would be awesome, but read carefully: It is the new GUI he hopes to have done by Christmas, not the docking system. This statement doesn't even begin to make sense.

That isn't what I meant. Try, for example, building a similar elevator car inside a shaft rather than docking it into place after building. It can't be done, because the game enforces a small gap between the car/ship and the structure/shaft--you can't maneuver them close enough to appear to be...

There has apparently been a change in the past few months in the way "touching" entities behave, possibly in collision handling? I had mentioned it here after trying out the previously referenced elevator. It looks to me like there is a minimum required distance between a ship and a structure...

Interesting solution. A possible reason they don't connect during paste could be that templates remember their own links. I found that pretty handy when duplicating turrets using copy+paste (to use blocks, before the new blueprint system), but supporting connection to a pre-selected computer...

In build mode you can use shift-V to connect all adjacent blocks of that same type to the selected computer. If you've selected the computer with C before pasting I think it may connect the modules, but I don't remember for certain.

Missiles can use quite a lot of energy. Are you sure your power isn't just being drained and having to recharge between shots? Related: Are the missiles actually firing but not rendering--and able to damage or destroy the target--or are they not firing at all?

Sounds like this admin command: player_unprotect DESCRIPTION: removes protection of a playername with its star-made.org account name PARAMETERS: PlayerName(String) EXAMPLE: /player_unprotect schema

If you want better advice you'll probably need to give some information about your computer and settings. A not-necessarily-obvious factor can be GPU/video card memory. If you have 1 GB or less you should probably look at reducing the max segments (view distance) or texture resolution, etc. I...

In addition to kupu's recommendations: While working on some of my own textures I also found that turning off texture compression, and enabling the linear mag filter (in-game), made a very nice difference for close-up objects. Setting procedural background to 2048 was very acceptable, and a...

I downloaded the elevator by Crusade and loaded it into a universe created with a recent build. The car clips through the elevator structure (explains the lack of friction problems), apparently including the area triggers. It shoots right out the top of the shaft so I have to run after it...

That sounds like either there isn't a dedicated GPU, or it is disabled in the firmware (BIOS) setup, or perhaps the correct driver is not installed correctly. You might want to see if there is a more specific model number, perhaps on a manufacturer label on the bottom of the laptop. For...

That snot funny.

To be different... I was just up in my garden, maybe to actually do some gardening since it is currently only grass and dirt, but damn that is some amazing-looking grass and dirt now. Nice job kupu!

Did you maybe build it across a sector boundary?

Meander II has launched at 20:10 UTC 22 November 2014! This iteration of the project is identical in appearance to Meanderer I except for its yellow hull. Meanderer II travels at a reduced speed, taking more time to observe its surroundings and enhancing the possibility of player encounters...
