It servers purpose in the game. You cannot debug logic currently because your debugger may be broken too. With such blocks, you can either run or not run at all a few commands chained together. But I agree that other things are more important right now such as fixing the rendering engine since...

I have to agree here. Maybe unity doesn't allow 10k entities, but what if you could have fun with just 1k because the game mechanics are better? Or it doesn't allow a billion of blocks but requires 8 times less of them because of more complex shapes and a smaller scale.

We don't store 64x64*32bit colour pixel for each block. We only use 12bit (or whatever) for the block's ID The same could be true for sound. If we have as many sounds as we have blocks, this could be manageable. Look for rosegarden and fruity-loops.

REGEX :) learn java: public void main( string[] args ){ string regexlist=""; …; return regexlist; } compile: main.java → main.jar run: "java -jar ./main.jar arg1 arg2 arg3 …" copy&paste the results into display blocks. link that display block to a logic-cpu core (using logic blocks and...

And again :) I hate how developers call their game free if they require the user to buy Windows to enjoy it. License-free hardware → free2use operating system → free2enjoy game → free-download community content → that's true free2play.

We have display blocks and if you know programms like fruity-loops (proprietary) or rosegarden (free and for gnu/linux), you know that it doesn't need much information to define sound. But you need to know that "frequencies interact"! 9 hertz and 6 hertz create a 3 hertz wave too, because 3 is...

We are supposed to have five: Evasion by size, effect-hardening of shields/armour, outranging/running. Pulse is good for turrets which rotate on a rail around a station. They can recharge while being out of range. But the main point is not to make them different but to make them unique in look...

If you allow custom UIs and LUA to create a build command or queries for existing blocks, this doesn't matter. A sandbox game isn't good or bad because for what it has, but for what it allows and offers via community content. (Note: SM misses mod-ability and being free software).

I think we should wait for the power overhaul proposal 2 by teh shine team. Why did you not include a link to some pictures? The best I found are here: Big reactors are awesome

What if admins spawn a ton of resources for the winner of a PvP Event for 20k block ships? And what if the peoples which enjoy PvP the most would post a how-to-enjoy-PvP tutorial? What if ships yield information about where they were before you killed them? (scan data)

Done Using display blocks to name adjacent blocks

If you want to name a rail-block with an adjacent display module you should be able to do it with: display module: input/text (example): "[named above]myRailDocker" content/text (auto): "[named ±±±]myRailDocker@±XXX±YYY±ZZZ" displays/text (auto): "myRailDocker@±XXX±YYY±ZZZ" (similar to...

Planets are good? When I visit planets, I want a nice background for my base, some canyons to do racing, a beautiful atmosphere and a lake with a waterfall where Dave can relax. I don't really care if you can dig/blast holes into the planet as long as you can slightly modify the surface and...

We already have display modules which schema could use to name adjacent blocks. [named]BlockType => "[xyz]±XXX±YYY±ZZZ"

On each one? Individually apply options? (n) And if it's an option, the engine still needs a way to tell the graphics card which option to display. I would use leftover rotation bits for this. Perhaps we could additionally add a crate-slab for the outside of content-blocks.

Exactly. Starmade got "owned" so often, that it became immune to be owned by 1-dev/1-year games But if anyone releases a framework which handles moving object collisions for at least 10'000 entities and 100 million blocks total and all the required networking code magic, peoples might build...

Something I miss in games: Voxels for 1m and lower not Boxels (as in SpaceEngineers asteroids) and placement of whole chunks aligned to the chunk-grid for more FPS Uses simplified physics and building tools to encourage builds supporting this simple physics system for higher FPS Has a lot of...

I think moons are not so difficult to implement after planets are already in place - just decrease gravity. Gas giants should have gas without real HP. Gas, ocean, … all these things are purely visual and might harvest from a single variable (like weapons drain the single planet-hp-value) If...

This is how I see it: 1 main reactor = unmanned drones 2 main reactors = shuttle / manned craft 3 main reactors = mass transports / city ships/stations +1 main reactors for military/expensive craft for extra reliability (only if not for commercial reasons) +1 for being a station, depending on...

I think we need a better wiki about regex and stuff like this. A simple community-content link in the wiki can do a lot if peoples are just able find it.
