      Building a living universe

      I wouldn't worry about 3 main factions. You can even use the NPC factions and use admin commands to join players into them after they earn reputation or prove themselves. Yes, you read that right ;) we've don't the experiment several times on mushroom fleet and currently have a player who is...

      A Universe with finite Power?

      Luckily at this stage of the game we can mod it pretty heavily. As i said earlier, fuel is possible with block and config changes. Yes, it is unfortunate that the devs seemed hellbent on forcing the game into a power change, but hopefully the strong community backlash against it will keep that...

      Frequent Suggestions Megathread

      Start the thread ;) This is already possible, matey. We run custom textures on mushroom fleet with approximately 20 factions.

      Frequent Suggestions Megathread

      Fuel is already possible in the game as-is, matey. Just change your config to boost power capacitors, remove or nerf reactors, and buff power supply beams. Make a few fuel stations with power supply arrays. Voila.

      Schine's To Do List:

      So here's some much more useful things the community could use in-game during the next year or so... you know... instead of wasting time on an unpopular power overhaul... - fix factions - e.g. - encourage larger memberships and less 1-manning. - correctly parse all the config files so we can...

      About the Proposed "Fix" to the Power System...

      Translation: they're trying to retain some dignity and working out how to rebalance it instead of having a 2nd overhaul go down in flames.

      Anyone Able to Bring Back SMEdit?

      Use SMEDIT with an installation from Jan 1 2014 or earlier. Use SMEDIT to import an .obj file, cut it, mirror it for symmetry, and turn it into a SMENT file for use in any version of SM. Once in awhile SMEDIT won't load. Go looking for a .josm file in your windows user folders and delete that...

      plusnine's Default Pack Extension for Servers and Clients

      Mushroom Fleet has, and continues to enjoy using plusnine's custom blocks and textures and effects very much; however, recent updates to the game have broken the pack as contained here and in the linked resource. Myself and other MF members are currently working on a new version that will be...

      3D Beams

      I'd send your request straight to the author. Afaik he's still around the community.

      About the Proposed "Fix" to the Power System...

      The backlash against Schine's power overhaul suggestion was many orders of magnitude greater than any backlash you may get on this thread, matey. They can't implement it and still have a game or community left. Don't worry... it's not happening.

      What Do We Want From Planets?

      Cookies. Like I've said elsewhere... the only useful and productive fix for planets at this point is to go back to cookie planets instead of dodecahedrons. The experiment didn't work out, as predicted.

      New Planet Speculation Thread

      Bad news for all of you, Schine was trolling us with an April Fool's joke ;p sorry, mateys! Some of you might say it was a Reverse April Fools... maybe, but still a trollish move, and it wasn't made in Starmade. They probably made that video with a procedural terrain generator in minecraft...

      Collision Damage against larger ships

      ...because collisions on literally breaks the server, crashes the game, and sends every single electron involved in the sordid affair crying home to mommy. Collisions were on briefly in the past and nearly caused reality as we know it to fracture in a way CERN can't even begin to postulate...

      How many people are still build vs waiting for new power

      I'm still building, because I optimistically assume that Schine will listen to the extreme backlash against the power overhaul that occurred, and not do it. There is such a plethora of things that are more worthwhile to fix and focus on... Schine are utter fools if they continue to force the...

      Starmade just got 0wned...

      well, well, well... look at this, another Minecraft in space pops out of nowhere and looks to be much farther ahead in development. ...meanwhile, we sit and gnash our teeth debating how to re-invent the wheel of power/reactors... again... Schine, you're looking to a lot of us like you're...

      Starmade being overtaken?

      Too true. Starmade just got OWNED by Skywanderers trailer. SM lacks a LOT.... possibly MOST of what we've been promised for the past 3 years or so. Instead Schine has dinked around re-inventing the wheel once or twice a year, and never actually moving this ALPHA out into a beta. So... no, to...

      Still not possible to move cores?

      Yes, this is a function we've needed ever since schema decided to use an HP pool instead of simply coring ships to destroy them. The core has been functionally useless in SM except to enter your ship and zoom around quickly / temporarily outside. The fix should be quite easy, and could be put...

      The Power Overhaul that won't break your entire game...

      That was the point in the OP of adding heat functionality to conduits. We save on block ID bloat, we make a deco block functional, we reward RP and aesthetics, and we add more gameplay depth. We also avoid breaking everyone's ships. If enough people seem to like the heat concept, it might be...

      Why exactly is power broken?

      I can't disagree. I was annoyed at the least when Schine nerfed docked entities, because it removes a gameplay choice from players, but arguably they (docked entities) cannot be a main gameplay mechanic. They should be allowed for fun, for RP, for choice, for freedom, but... yes... they existed...
