      Crafting needs to be looked at again.

      Well, you obviously not got my point. Minecraft = stone age qua technoligy, StarMade = futuristic environment high technoligy. So applying my philosophy would not change Minecraft one bit and StarMade hardly either. :) Greets, Jan

      Crafting needs to be looked at again.

      Well, there are a lot of crafting refining ideas vented here and I must admit I'm not long enough playing with the current system to give an useful opinion on all those suggestions. What I do think however is that to get the crafting system into something to be used on a more primary basis there...

      Bug Spawning in the middle of nowhere in 0.17

      Well, I did two additional tests with other circumstances when I exit the game. One while in the core of a ship parked near my station and one while in build mode in the build block on the station. I both cases all works as expected, on game startup I'm located near either the ship core or the...

      Bug Spawning in the middle of nowhere in 0.17

      All is a default install, I'm too new to this to start changing things before I have tried all possibilities that are in there already. :) The spawnblock is one position next to the station center, the center is a buildblock. I didn't know btw that the spawn point is only used at the players...

      Bug Spawning in the middle of nowhere in 0.17

      Hi Guys, Since 0.17 it seems I always spawn some 1200 meters from a set spawn point in my single player experience. And yes, I did use a spawn block (can't remember the official name) on my humble station and set it using 'R'. Anyone else has this 'problem'? Greets, Jan

      New (Windows) Launcher Fails to Launch

      If you're running windows 7 64bit you should already have Internet Explorer 64bits. At least it was on the system here when windows 7 was installed, I never put it there myself. :-) Greets, Jan

      New (Windows) Launcher Fails to Launch

      Running in 64bit is only possible if you have a 64bit operating system. If you do, you should install the 64bit version of the Java SE runtime. Hope this helps. Greets, Jan

      Yellow bounding box in buildblock buildmode?

      Ah, I see. Well lets hope this gets tackled quickly, it certainly is annoying when designing space dwellings. :D Greets, Jan

      Yellow bounding box in buildblock buildmode?

      Well, installed the new launcher and the new update of StarMade v 0.17 I can say all went without a glitch, but seeing the amount of new things to try out it'll take some time to get that all tested. ;) I noticed one thing though that has me puzzled. When I enter build mode using a buildblock I...

      Capsule Refinery Enhancer?

      The factory enhancer speeds up the block creation in the macro assembler. You mouse over the assembler press c and then place the enhancer block(s) to link them to the assembler. Each enhancer linked adds one extra item created in the assembler per game tick. So as example, seven linked...

      Capsule Refinery Enhancer?

      Actually, when I type 'enhance' in the filter of a macro assembler it shows up as an option to create, as do the other ones. It takes 20 metal meshes to be exact. :D Meanwhile I noticed the Powerblockfactory enhancer is a sub requirement for a turret docking block, don't know about the micro...

      Capsule Refinery Enhancer?

      This is an interesting one. :) I created this block in my factory to speed up the refinery process only to find out that it gives an error message when I want to place it: "ERROR, Capsule refinery enhancer cannot be placed, how did you even get that". Lucky me I only build one just to try it...

      Bug Screen Capture Bug

      What you see as solid gray is in fact the transparent part of the *.png screenshot image. I started a thread about it here some time ago, the easiest remedy is to open your screenshot in an image manipulation program like for instance Gimp (www.gimp.org free) and add a black layer. Move your...

      Best way to place power reactors after update?

      Hmm, I'm quite new to this game myself, so I've been puzzling with the integrities of power generation and describing it becomes quite complex fast. So for starters here's a simple diagram for a 5x5x5 cube generator I found while Googling and what seems to give the best results yet for its size...

      Bug Screenshots render background transparent

      You mean while playing the game, or when you make a screen-shot during these transitions? I can't say I've noticed it during game-play, but I must admit I haven't payed much attention to the display in that way. :-) I don't have much experience with Java programming, but I did a fair bit of C...

      Bug Screenshots render background transparent

      In that case it's probably just one line of code to force that reset to reset once when a screenshot is made. After going to a known nebula region with procedural background off I think I'll rather switch it on again and use Gimp for now, instead of traveling through only voids of blackness. ;-)...

      Bug Screenshots render background transparent

      Hmm, I'm just using the default install of SM v.0.163 (release) with default settings apart from those mentioned before and installed it in a new subfolder as that's possible with launcher v.12, so all should be fresh and crispy. :) EDIT: Ah, looking at the startup settings I noticed an entry...

      How cargo just happened.

      Care to elaborate? I was just wondering yesterday why dynamic pricing wasn't on by default, when spitting through the server.cfg. Greets, Jan

      assemblers/fabricators use power even when idle

      Maybe in the future factory units should get an on/off switch for themselves included linked enhancers. This would also mean they would become controllable by logic blocks. Something that isn't the case at the moment afaik. Greets, Jan

      Ultimate Ship Building Process!

      Actually I thought of going at it the other way around. Create a ship in a modular fashion to get a feel for what's needed and sizes that can be combined. If that works out first make a blueprint of the finished ship and then copy and paste the parts that are usable out to a template setup...
