      What game do you want this game to become?

      In my "perfect setup" there'll not be IA players, nor IA shops, you'll need to craft everything and factions shops will be a need. You'll need to group in factions and specialize, maybe a faction will only salvage and crafting meanwhile another one will be distributing the blocks through their...

      StarMade 0.175 Custom Server Textures, Fixes, and Secret

      Starmade it's not a simulator. In simulators the objective it's to mimic real life, you design the mechanics ignoring if there's a "ever winning config" or not, the important part it's that all behaves the way it should behave, because the fun factor it's on the possibility to "live" an...

      StarMade 0.175 Custom Server Textures, Fixes, and Secret

      Real life it's not balanced, you can't design a game based on real life, that's the difference between a simulator and a game, a game it's not realistic, it's plausible. Enough to be logic, but always balanced to make it fun. I still think that if you want a 100% effect it should be the only...

      Who else doesn't like the new planets?

      In a game about space, building and fliying ships, you really think what's broken are the planets?

      StarMade 0.175 Custom Server Textures, Fixes, and Secret

      I'm sorry I'm not an "spreadsheet" user to know all the details you know, but let me say something. As far as I've read, all the complains are about one config that "now does not work". Guys, I thinks the real problem is that the other ones does not work properly. On the other hand, I think...

      StarMade Launcher v14 Critical Blank Screen Error

      I suggest you to open your shell (Windows key + R to "Execute" and then type "cmd" without the quotes). Then write this: "java -jar " (without quotes) and then drag and drop your Star Made Starter to the shell window from the file explorer, it should write down the path to the jar file. Then...

      Hull Plate

      There can be a "armored" state to blocks that will apply an overlay texture to all faces of the block like the metal mesh, adding some armor and extra HP. It will not use any block Id but it will have a drawing cost.

      How big should I make my ship?

      Nowadays what I do is start with an "skeleton" to know the general shape of the ship and then I start with the systems (weapons, energy, shields, etc.). With this approach I can extend and transform the general shape easily to the needs of the ship's function. Then, I do the interior detailing...

      My take on the upcoming ship HP system

      Sorry if not explained enought well. Do not make any holes, when hit you lose HP, if your HP is 0, your ship it's destroyed, then break it semi-randomly to allow salvaging and you're dead.

      My take on the upcoming ship HP system

      Don't know what will become the HP system, but I think I prefer a simpler system where your HP points are calculated only in build mode when you add/remove blocks and then you'll have a "hp bar". Yes It's not as awesome as the current system, but it'll be a lot cheaper in resources, leting...

      My take on the upcoming ship HP system

      As far as I can imagine, the point to change the current per block system to an HP system is related to performance. I can imagine how many calculations you need to do now to determine the effect of a single shot (does it damaged this block, and if there's piercing effect, does damage or destroy...

      What do you guys think about the blueprint system?

      I'm agree with you, money shall be used, buying the blocks at the current shop prices, but limited to the stock. If the shop runs out of a block type, you'll have to wait until it's re-stocked (or someone comes and sells this kind of block).

      What do you guys think about the blueprint system?

      Completely agree but, ¿why not a mix? You can place ingredients or blocks. The shipyard will use first the blocks, then the ingredients, allowing to use those you already have. You can either come later and add more blocks, the shipyard will let you take the ingredients or blocks not used.

      Mobile repair ship

      Thank you for your replies. Marcus, no, it does not repair destroyed blocks. Nowadays Astrotechnobeams only repair damaged ones. I can try if they allow effect computer linking, what may allow to link a punch trough effect that will let the beams repair behind the first layer. As they now work...

      Mobile repair ship

      ¡Hi! One month ago I was thinking about how I do imagine StarMade battles. In my vision there's no possibility to buy an entire ship instantaneously, and then, it's very important to maintain your fleet as long as you can. In my vision you're able to repair your ships with AstroTechnoBeams...

      Area trigger corner

      jayman38 nailed it, thank you for explaining it better, my English is not very good :( 2 - Completely agree. After opening the thread I was thinking in the event system. I think we'll need more events linked to the area triggers: 2.1 On enter: Triggered when something enters the area. It'll...

      Area trigger corner

      I've been using some game development engine editors, and areas it's always something I've used a lot. On those, you'll usually use a basic geometric shape (f.e. a cube) that will detect when something passes through them. In starmade nowadays we have the trigger area block, but it's very hard...

      The crafting system sucks

      Pasting from another crafting thread. I think one problem with the crafting system is more a matter of usability. For example, I think it would be great if we can load a recipe and we're able to double click in an intermediate stage block to load it's recipe. For example if I want to make an...

      Crafting needs to be looked at again.

      Totally agree about the 2nd paragraph, I'm coping it to the suggestion thread.
