Do you think it's possible to fake friction by having the blocks touch the ground at a 45* angle? Could this be used to make functional feet for my mechs?

Here are a couple of things I made yesterday: EDIT: Broken Pics

In response to your points: 1. Not everyone spends all his time in space, and if MechWarriors actually work, I can imagine competitions. 2. Some are, yes, but it is possible to find large enough planets, even in the default settings. 3. I guess that could work, but it has many flaws. The main...

Yes! Those days are often the days I cannot sleep until I calm down.

I will probably start work on some mechs anyway, just to have them ready incase they patch the game. I may show them off when I'm satisfied with the result.

Someone actually tried it, but it just walked in place: http://starmadedock.net/threads/moonwalking-mech-on-a-moon.6882/ Hopefully the devs implement friction so my mech machinations can proceed as planned.

Does it traverse land? Regardless it is a magnificent piece of starmade engineering!

It's been a while, been waiting for the new update to come out, so please pardon my absence. Anyway, down to the point: I have seen some of the crazy things you can do with the new system, and quite literally woke up today with the idea that I would build mech walkers. Please correct me if I'm...

Since people seem to want more planet settings, a 'PLANET_GRAVITY_MULTIPLIER' setting would be pretty cool.

Oh, this revitalizes my hype! Imagine all the cool systems you can make with turrets(and other ships) on rails! Imagine being able to press a button and the turrets retract into a repair area deep inside the ship! Or perhaps pressing a button to quickly switch out your SAM turrets for cannon...

That could work. Just wondering how we would get dual arrays to work though. Perhaps if you have multiple arrays linked to the same computer, you can link them together with the marker beam to connect them properly.

Hype! So many questions! Can modules contained in the body be in the same weapon group as in the barrel? Does the rotating block have colliders to prevent it from clipping the main ship? Will AI modules have to be on the barrels, or is a system planned for the AI to recognize the parts of the...

Inquiry 1: Ok, so I noticed something peculiar about the new blueprint GUI. The total lack of an upload button. Has the system changed? Is the blueprint system now local? Or did my game notice I was hosting a single player world, and simply treated my blueprints as local? Inquiry 2: Planet...

This seems to be the only missing feature in copy/paste. There is a save option, but no option to delete. Hopefully this get's implemented, but in the meantime: What file do I have to open in order to delete there prefabs? I really want to get rid of the 'T_' and 'Automatic' clogging up my prefabs.

Basically in the title. This occurred to me when I was making waypoints to asteroid fields. I just want to name my waypoints like this: 'Resource Extraction point 1A' with all the resources that could be found entered into a description box. It's just one of those things you probably won't...

That would be awesome, especially if you can trigger stealth drives and jammers on your drones to make an invisible minefield, or invisible missiles.

^This^And I was just about to suggest that.

Honestly, while I do think astrotech beams should replace blocks, I can only see it trying to replace the outer shell of the ship since that is the first part of the blueprint it will hit. It would be difficult to code them to go from the center out, so even with the blueprint repair system you...

[/SPOILER]I had the same problem, and tried shadows on barebone, and I can confirm that it fixes the problem. Here is a before and after: I did notice something peculiar when I was testing it though, I'll call it the 'Sepia tone glitch' Whenever I look in the right directions, everything...

Thanks for then answer! Works perfectly now!
