I get that. I also agree completely that rocks need to look better in all aspects. Creating a discernible difference between raw and refined rock is required. They will get a full make over in the coming texture set. However (and i know this will never receive unanimous support) i won't be...

If you could PM me a blueprint which is heavily effected, i will try and come up with a solution that allows both rotations and preserves older orientations. If i can't, a choice will have to be made. Keep rotations and manually fix old builds, or go back to no rotations.

Oh crap, did i forget to fix those?! I'll check those asap. Thanks for the heads up, my mind has been bogged with menus recently. As for the animated blocks, it's more a case of seeing at a glance currently unused space on the maps as i'm working on a new texture pack. I would still like to...

Not so much a "bug" but the side effect of having conduits being able to rotate.

I'm not familiar with the mod you are installing. What files exactly are given to you? Are you trying to host a server, join a server or play in your own single player world?

You're right. That's not user friendly at all. As others have discovered, a menu system is being worked on currently. All currently hidden away cfg file settings will now be easily accessed from within the new main menu structure. It's still in dev, so we can't give 100% confirmation on...

Not with our current lighting system, no. The lighting is pre-calculated and considers placed blocks as occupying the entire voxel. Either larger changes to the calculations need to take place or we go with something realtime. Yes, this bleed zone is used as a buffer for our mipmapping and to...

RoosterTheRed That's an out of date texture pack. Are you sure you are running the latest release version? You can check in the first launcher window by clicking Options, selecting Release in the Build Branch drop down menu and then clicking Update and Install Latest Version. To...

RoosterTheRed Could you post a screenshot please? Is this in single player?

Glad to see you back, even more so to hear you planning for the Fleet Contest!

No problem, we can help you out. Firstly we need to make sure you are following the rules set by the Official Build Contest thread. This one is very important: If you need advice on how to do this, please create a thread here on the forums so we can help you further. Once you have docked...

Some quick thoughts reading over the latest discussion - Will palm scanners be mistaken for a block that activates? - Would loosing the big P flag have a downside for easily identifying public functions? - Would another computer interface blend in too much. - Would retina scanners and...

Sure you can. Here; Official Fleets Build Contest

Yea, understandable. It looked this way for two reasons. The permission blocks have always looked this way, even before my time (which admittedly is not always a good reason). Secondly, it was visually basic to help differentiate it's purpose really clearly. Almost like logic does (which has...

I think i agree. Let's be very real here, we've been promising particles for a long time. The particle system was shown close to two years ago. I won't bore anyone with excuses or reasons because i doubt players particularly care about the myriad of complications during development. Bottom line...

Yea, i like the idea. I think this has been brought up before too. This is something i'll look at with the new texture set to avoid having to double up on workloads.

How long have you been away? There could be quite a few new features since your departure. Over a year? - HP update (entire ships now have a HP and Armour rating based on their block type and respective count) - Scanners and changes to cloak and jamming. - Docking overhaul - Rail systems -...

Sure.

No news other than it's still being worked on. I don't expect we will see it within the next few updates. It's quite a large task. It will be released all in one block, not staggered. Water will be animated. :) I'll be honest, i really don't think our time should be spent on toilets and...

No, it wouldn't be difficult. True. *poof* Uh oh... :) Well, nobody could say no to objectively better weapon effects. So why didn't we just do this ourselves last week, or a year ago... or do it tomorrow? We're almost stuck in a limbo. We've been planning to implement particles and...
