      Condense Blocks in Blueprints List

      MrGrey1, I added your idea to the OP. Just for kicks and giggles, really, as you literally have the first post in the thread (Besides the OP).

      Condense Blocks in Blueprints List

      So, this is a fairly simple suggestion. There is now one inventory/crafting/in-hand block for each tier and color of armor/hull/whatever. So, it would be very convenient if, in the blueprints menu and in the actual blueprint meta-item itself, you would have a collapsible tab for each type of...

      Read by Council Prevent Turrets from being Built Incorrectly

      ....Never had an issue with turrets. It's the same way with building ships---know which way your core is facing! If your weapons point forwards in a turret, you're fine. Otherwise, maybe it's an issue. I don't know, I pay attention when I build. Yes, turrets should function even when sideways...

      Anyone have some nice building techniques?

      I would recommend figuring out copy/paste for yourself. My #1 rule for that: Find the pattern. If you copy from this block, it will then paste from that block. Unless, you know, it doesn't, because reasons. Always remember---you can TURN OFF PASTE MODE after figuring out where it pastes from...

      Anyone have some nice building techniques?

      This ways all work, or you can start by building the interior first---which is a very good way to build an RP ship or a carrier-type vessel. For your first build.....build a cargo shuttle with a small salvager attached. It will allow you to get more mined than your crappy hand laser, will give...

      3 is the magic number

      Wow, it's like nobody even noticed it this time.

      Project Riryu

      ...... Actually, open spaces inside structures increase GPU load immensely, as they increase the number of rendered faces in the structure. If SM worked well with occlusion culling (I think its called that, anyway) this would be true (No change in GPU load) to some extent. But it doesn't, as far...

      Render Porn

      Besides, slashing knives are curved. This one is for chopping and stabbing. It will kill.

      Exploration Improvements?

      Colors would likely have nothing to do with it. Maybe certain effects could be "researched" at distant stations (Indestructible? Or respawning?) and you must raid them to retrieve these blueprints/research notes/assorted other McGuffins in order to use the technology. Say, several-block-wide...

      Build & Weapon Advice?

      You COULD use logic to fire the weapon itself. You just lose accuracy because you can't "LOL" your gun into a different firing line (Because built-in weapon systems are clearly excellent at traversing)

      How on EARTH can you NOT kill a planet with a 4 km ship?

      Well duh. But built-in, obvious functionality is a nice user-friendliness addition.

      Building the Mk2 Logic Core!

      WHERE THE BLOODY VOID IS MY CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM? WHERE IN THE NAME OF THE DEATH STAR IS THE STRAWBERRY VERSION?

      Building the Mk2 Logic Core!

      Perhaps instead you use some low-resolution turret direction tracking, and just have it flash your HUD, directionally, based on it detecting enemies not presently in LOS. So just have red lights linked, and whenever a turret is detected as active (Not in standard position) and pointing...

      StarMade Ship Size Comparison Chart

      I like the size-sorted version a lot better.

      Importing your favorite ship hulls per request (1 a month)

      There is an option for choosing between even (No center block, the plane goes between two blocks) and odd (There is a center block, the plane cuts through the middle of a block) symmetry in the advanced build mode panel of options (It's on the right side of your screen when holding the adv...

      Balancing? As in, add MOAR MISSILES and similar crap to make yet another head-of-doom-and-silliness?

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      The solution is likely not to increase the capabilities of larger ships to get larger. It's just not. We don't need to buff power per se. There are options where power is changed to make it work better (Ditch capacity and make everything work like a scanner, drawing power and storing it itself)...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      Well, er, hate to disappoint, but space cools pretty well. As in the rapidly-turning-you-into-an-icecube well. It's fast enough to be useful, whether through radiation or interaction with the limited amount of ambient matter hardly matters. Regardless, you're getting colder fast, so, be careful...

      Power System Overhaul Proposal

      No, as in the mechanism itself is heating up, the coolant is falling behind. I suspect that, if the coolant works properly, it will be able to get rid of heat faster (Newton's Law of Cooling and all), not to mention collecting it from the apparatus it's cooling faster. In other words, my...
