Yeah, I understand 2D would definitely make life simpler. I tend to develop a lot of logic circuits in expanded 2D layouts, but I often end up expanding into 3D. I personally tend to visualize in 3D better that 2D also. With my suggestion it allows for both.

Hm... that would definitely remove the lagg issue. But I would still like to rip a planet to pieces to mine like you can with Asteroids. Perhaps when they blow up they could convert to an asteroid cluster with less mass than the original planet. The asteroids could disperse to the original and...

A lot of what I've read here reminds me of what I was looking for a while ago. Basically I wanted a universal computer block that has the above functions and more. To manage it, you would kinda drop to a pocket universe to create whatever crazy logic you wanted with input/outputs giving you...

Not sure why a faction would try defending unclaimed planets, but this could be something useful for keeping the Trading guild busy. Perhaps the planetary NPCs could also call out for assistance from neighboring factions. Would require some wickedly programmed AI, so might not be worth it unless...

Yes please! Have wanted this for so long. Along with, attack my target and a whole host of fleet commands.

DrTarDIS Man, I forgot you can do that. Thanks heaps! So typical the one time I don't save before shutting down and BOOM! I'll give that a go and report how I get on. While sifting through the DB folder I did notice a lot of projects I'd completely forgotten about. If anything, the good thing...

I think he means have multiple in/output, but they're individual in the way they are connected to the circuit. So a single AND block with 2 in/outputs, each would have their own signal value separate from each other but coming from the single block. Similar to your design, but only the one block...

Nice visual representation! I like it. Fits in with what I wanted a while ago, but still using the engine that generates the universe. Somebody recently suggested making the blocks non physical, which would allow for existing logic to exist as they are. Theoretically using non-physical logic...

Yes and yes. I did try removing the seed and a couple other files but not those files. Will defo give this a try. Thanks heaps SmilingDemon. You're awesome!

Well, here are the logs after attempting to load the world with the latest update. I was hoping the update would have automagically fixed it, but sadly no. :-( I let the game sit for roughly 5mins before killing it.

If you want to play with blueprints, you can download almost anything from here to play with. The blueprint file is a .sment file. It's actually a zip file with a catalog folder structure for the particular structure. If you want to take a look inside to see how it's put together, just rename...

Lol. I mentioned slaves once. It went silent and a gentle breeze picked up then a tumble weed rolled by. ;-) As in forced to mine deep down inside planets and asteroids. Sounds ominous and boring, but the key is there are weapons and ships near by for you to escape and kill the overlords. :-)

These would be so cool! :) On a couple PVP servers, I've been leaving random stuff on planets for people to stumble upon. Structures Factories Ships Treasure caves with loot in them. ;-) They're nothing major, but hopefully bring a wee surprise to the players. Oh, I also leave ships floating...

Lol! This would then require planetary defenses and give a real purpose for fleet defense. Instead of them just flying around the sector with not much to do. :-) Yeah this could be a problem, but again this would bring purpose to the AI fleets. Would also encourage factions to gather more...

I think uneven resource distribution is fine and the issue with resource access can easily be addressed wih multiple recipes for the same product. Example, allow the creation of shields using different combinations of raw resources.

Problem is, is it never loads in order to crash. It's sits at a permanent Universe Loading... screen until I close it. I'll pull the most recent logs when I next experiment.

I've restored a world once before when this happened, but foolishly I think I didn't take any notes. And if I did, they're probably buried in a folder structure of chaos on my desktop or a USB drive. I've been messing with a copy of it. I even tried the update process with no joy. So, will keep...

After editing a ship late at night, I was too tired to save it before shutting down. The following day, it just fails to load the world. I tried creating a new world and this works fine. I tried created a new install and moved the world not working to this and it fails. Is there a method or a...

Would be nice to have a box helper to. Where you can create hollow boxes instead of blocks.

Yeah, but not with the distance though. I want the power+mass combined to be used for distance instead of activation. So, if you have a small man sized gate with 3million power you could send a player across galaxies but not a titan with ridiculous mass. Sorry, not just distance though. Both...
