      Undocking detector? [solved]

      Can you put a static rail on a turret? Then you can pass storage cargo to this docked ship on the turret, and if the turret overheats you can detect that there is no more pulling and send a signal?

      Undocking detector? [solved]

      You can do a logic workaround. Thats the only way but I heard that logic chains are buggy too - but they are guaranteed to get fixed in the future according to your statement that other bugs get fixed as well: Have multiple logic chains inside the turret, that don't circle if one element is...

      Undocking detector? [solved]

      Whats about that logic block that detects players? Can they also detect a new entitity when the docked ship undocks and is no longer part of the ship? My idea: Storage Blocks. Let them float from one ship to the main ship, and when they are full switch it into the other direction.

      Would you call cannon-cannon-effect weapons "tier 3"?

      A "tier" in gaming language reffers to a next level, that you can only achieve after you accomplished certain tasks. You want to use the "tier" definition on a gaming mechanic, that has no upgrades or downgrades, because you can allways and at every state of the game use every weapon system. We...

      Made a Retractable Turret covered behind a door

      Are you sure you can't do that allready with pickup points? It's a radius of 1.5 isn't that enough? Just by letting them slide from one rail to the other. But that means you have to wait like at least 3 months or even more. I would not wait if I had a nice idea.

      Made a Retractable Turret covered behind a door

      Do you guys know The Expanse, a tv-series from 2015? There was an amazing scene at the end of s01e04, where the one guy activates the turrets of the fighter. And then pew pew pew all the the baddies get wrecked in the hangar where the fighter just wants to take off. I wanted to have exactly this...

      Can't get my drones to heal my other drones?

      You can make an extra repair dock inside your carrier with cool looking beams shooting from every wall onto the drone that is parked there for maintenance. Its not effective but it looks cool. :D The only effective way atm is to repair used drones by sending them from your carrier into a...

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      But if they are for radiating heat, why dont they look like a passive graficcards cooler? (graphic card passive cooler - Google-Suche) And why do you have that problem with crashlanding on planets, when you have materials that withstand particels crashing onto your ship on 50.000km/h and...

      What did you do in Starmade today?

      Are those 2 rings some kind of gyroskope? I never understand why every second spacecraft gets some wings. Like "hey its space, we have no air, but lets waste some metal one those cool looking side plates coz you know: they look so cool"

      Is Starmade going to be a Survival or RTS style of game?

      I saw that video too, and if you are interested in game design for starters I recommend this video and the others 2 short texts. It just tangents your question but scratches about some basic game dev knowledge. To answer your main question: As the survival part is okayish atm I would prefer...

      What do you do when you're bored in StarMade?

      Watching the sun set in Starmade can take some time. Or do planets rotate themself or around the sun btw?

      Render detail blocks behind transparent ones

      Or have that stuff allways rendered if it is not more than 30 blocks away?

      Yeah you can ofcourse add more stuff to the existing pipe and detail it further. I would take the easy road and just realign the pipe then it looks interesting and I would not depend on adding very much work on adding new objects like rings and details for such a big thing. Or do you really plan...

      Render detail blocks behind transparent ones

      If I want to make some decoration behind glass or some corals below water, the detailed natural blocks (maybe rods and capsules too?) are not visible. Pls tell me it can be implemented. I hope you just need to change something with the "is walkable" variable.

      Nature

      I wanted to see if you can make some nice nature themed builds as well. Have no building blocks in surival atm though. No one can tell me that living in space just whipes away that desire for some grass under the feet. Did you guys try to do some more earthlike builds too?

      I like the station. Wanted to suggest to put the big downwards going pipe in a different position. There are like 5o ways to place those "system bunker" differently: 45 degree, having one half going top at the opposite side, having a smaller pipe and some big system bunker at some other random...
