      hello

      Good. Up late spinning out modular template prototypes for testing. Hoping to upload a limited set this week. You?

      Browsable Recipe Window

      Further related: it would also be extremely helpful if the recipe window showed what could be made from a block, not just what is needed to make it (i.e. I am looking at fertikeen and I see links heading upwards that I can pan up to see various hull types, hardeners, ingots, defense chamber, etc).

      Help: systems in big AI drones?

      A line of inquiry worth testing. I haven't tried to isolate docked various power draws yet - currently elbow-deep into exploring the modular capabilities of the new systems.

      Trade History Log

      Under the TRADE tab of the SHOP window, I suggest a "Trade History" button that opens a window showing all the station's past transactions in one place. This means network trades and local trades. Owner deposits and withdrawals, along with names of who. There should be times and amounts...

      Browsable Recipe Window

      The "View Recipe" button on factories brings up a simple window graphically showing what components are needed to produce the currently selected block. This recipe window should be browsable, using the same double-click function the "specify chamber" reactor window currently uses. Example: If...

      StarMade v0.201.126 - Weapon Update

      "as intended?" Intent is a funny thing. It certainly makes law a very interesting field of applications; with it being so difficult to discern the true intention of another. Particularly when, since the dawn of time we've had to deal with peoples' false statements of intent, feigned concern...

      Help: systems in big AI drones?

      Can't confirm regarding usability of docked scanners but docked ships definitely suck at mother's teet, and hard. So much so that it resulted in a complete scrap of my first attempt at a new stand-alone light carrier for drone miners based on my old Monk. I had left about 40% power available...

      Anchor CTRL-Z to Undo, CTRL-C Copy, CTRL-V Paste

      Hey, is CTRL-Z anchored to UNDO now or am I crazy?

      Is that meant to be specifically for British English or all English, DukeofRealms?

      So, maybe they could just add English in there... ? Some of the block descriptions, reactor chamber texts, and warnings are still pretty rough.

      Weapon Stream Q&A

      Make it a chamber issue maybe? Rationale: You're talking about trade lanes, so while 1-2 sectors of interdiction radius may not seem worth putting on a ship for defense, it becomes an interesting gamble for pirates, raiders, and blockading fleets that just want to get into the general traffic...

      Schine can save some time (i.e. $) heading into the Galaxy Update series by soliciting community contributions for in-game warnings, notices, labels, item descriptions, tool-tips, and other text. You just need a sticky thread asking for it, or open a project for it in Phabricator. Or both...

      Universal Self-Contained Reactors

      It does, and CTRL-scroll even rotates them on another axis. Issue is that while an object can rotate along two axes, it is still anchored to your cursor by one end in terms of the end you place in contact with existing structures. I never even noticed the problem until I started building some...

      Universal Self-Contained Reactors

      This got me working on a whole set of modular components now, and ship frames built to handle them. Ugly, but kinda fun; they remind me of space RTS games that let you assemble ships based on components. One weird thing I'm noticing about templates is that when you go to paste them, they seem...

      Universal Self-Contained Reactor Templates a1

      Did a platform with 'universal' (generic) self-contained reactors. USCR L1.a1 USCR L5.a1 USCR L10.a1 USCR L15.a Download, spawn in, copy them to template, and enjoy a little convenience in powering your non-combat ships and facilities, or lay one of these down as an emergency backup for...

      Universal Self-Contained Reactors

      Did a platform with self-contained reactors at L1, L5, L10, and L15. Download, spawn in, copy them to template, and enjoy a little convenience in powering your non-combat ships and facilities, or lay one of these down as an emergency backup for your main, bespoke reactor.

      Universal Self-Contained Reactors

      Good point. Well, it kind of evolved into a template and is only now becoming a project. It was just an ad-hoc reactor itself initially, it ended up being pretty self-contained so I copied it then cleaned it up a bit. And it's more like 296 or something like that because of the symmetry and the...

      Universal Self-Contained Reactors

      Thanks! Mesh or composite had come to mind. I may go with one or both, because I'd like to avoid using any actual resources. I was wondering about other options though because those two aren't very decorative.
