I see no reason why they can't be made to stack, though.

I wonder if it would be possible to make scrap 'blocks' and other unplaceables into metaitems...

There is something of a use to blueprints aside from stations. They're static rather than changeable, and they don't get corrupted as easily as designs... They provide a good backup. But once the game is more stable and the station design construction system is in, I'd like for us to start...

Yeah, now that I fully understand what he's asking for, yes, it's possible, but it's a technical nightmare and not worth the time and effort it would take to make the system work. Never mind how bug-prone it would tend to be and the fact that people would sometimes run into an annoying and...

The limit is not 256, it's 1024... Also, the 3 bytes accounts for rotation, block health/damage, the ID, and the on/off state for logic. (On/off state and some of the damage values are sometimes co-opted for other things, but that is besides the point)

...Well, but that's not how voxel grids work... They HAVE to draw from the same 'list' because each voxel is, in essence, just a list of values that fits inside an allocated amount of information per space in a 3D coordinate array. Block ID is just one segment of this amount of information in...

If I understand your idea correctly, that means no more building bases on planets because bases would use ship blocks (Planets would use the same values for other things), and no more asteroid materials as floors because they belong to asteroids. Whut?

They shouldn't be on the galaxy map in the first place. Not until someone scans you down. But even then only their galaxy map would show it; they would have to give someone their copy of the system map for another person to see it.

Only for homebases, and each faction can only have one homebase. All other stations can be destroyed if their shields and structural integrity are brought to zero.

I'll be on SS in a few minutes. Doing stuff on the testserver atm.

Accepted! Welcome, Jstenholt.

Crus, your framework skills are OP. nerf pl0x

'Tis not every day that a pack of bears offers to ally with you. And when that day comes, it is certainly wisest to accept. ;)

I shall stay on SS, yes.

Oh hey, I did that too. That's a good idea, actually, although mine is more purely for background lore and less for the faction as it exists on StarMade (because that faction will change repeatedly during the course of the game's development).

Some of the larger bugs are already fixed in dev, particularly the bug that gets stuff cut off of ships.

Yeah; the system is surprisingly flexible if you are clever with it... If only there weren't so many bugs :P

Yes. And yes, it is great. :D

There is a lot of metadata that doesn't get saved with designs or can't be modified for one reason or another; I think this falls into that category.

As long as it fits the rules you can have them horizontally if you like. I routinely build shuttle construction bays this way.
