You can stack slabs, but I do not believe that you can stack different slabs.

You're right, especially on the second point. (Shudder) Alright, I said it. Now then, for the first thing: This just makes it easier to make a small mistake and run out of material. The second one: Yeah----this makes it easier for new/inexperienced/careless faction members to make a mess of...

Jayman, it seems like you could just use that system once, never needing players to see it--you just let it run through that process for every possible block, and send the resulting animations to every client, instead of making servers/computers calculate those every time somebody sits down...

Choose what you want.

No. My roofs need to be nice and tall. 1000 m just doesn't cover it.

Hey, with 2-3km, we can go all Shield World/Requiem on it and start making multi-layered planets. And, like, surface detail with underground constructions. Awesomeness achieved.

You do realize that the offense/defense/mobility scores are all useless and do not reflect any real capability of the vessel, right?

Another good idea would be the implementation of a system to limit the number of items a factory makes. As in, a number-input field that allows you to say "Make 1000000 grey advanced armor. Stop when finished." Instead of "make 1000 grey adv here, then some more later, etc."

The problem with your method is that it doesn't produce all the possible end products. The problem with using both (Yes, I just went 2 steps further than you. What now, bro?) is that it ends up possible to run an extended loop, each time producing more, which could be laggy. Otherwise, using...

Neon, this is a case where there IS NOT enough storage when finished---not a case of "I'll need more storage when it happens". Yes, Neon, you CAN prepare for this---but why make it riskier to allow low-ranking (*Potentially untrustworthy) faction-members access storages and factories. Why make...

What? Ok, so you've been unclear so far. However, the basic premise of my argument remains: IF you base things off of storages, THEN you must track and fill storages on blueprints, in order to keep the slaves without making the use of these "level 2" things extremely micro-management-dependent...

I think the idea of adding random pockets of randomized ship-based loot would be useful and interesting. Very interesting. And yes, the chance that you'll stumble in a diamond or emerald in Minecraft, or find yourself a dungeon, or perhaps walk into a pocket of Mithril in Minecraft Lord of the...

No. Because this requires somehow saving the storages of ships, turrets, and whatnot, and then requiring those resources. No, please no, oh no. We have a good enough system right now---no need to change it.

No, it wouldn't. The lag doesn't come from the mesh, but rather the rapid position/graphical updates on several hundred (Or several thousand) fake blocks/wire-frame fakes---simultaneously. That's what hurts the game. Or, at least, that's what I believe.

Well...if the factory's been unloaded for a week, and has lots and lots of storage space connected, but not enough storage to dump into... First off, you could have suddenly become material-bankrupt without realizing it, and second, you'll have an overloaded factory as well. Just to be extra...

The biggest issue is reconciling the different gravities, especially closer to the center of the planet where the boundary is not clearly defined. A cubic planet is probably the way to go, simply because in a game made of cubes, cubic things function best. Like I said, you just need to figure...

So, accidental artwork? Nice.

If it's not happening to anyone else, it might be time to try building a new turret.

That is actually remarkably interesting. How'd you do it?

I tried to work with gravity, to get it to auto-trigger when a player enters the vessel...but I can't. So, yeah, manual gravity it is.
