      Salvage beams are boring

      Trial #1 was a spectacular failure, I managed to settle on a planet and construct factories and a capsule refinery, a storage box with over 100 cargo, and I had just placed a build block when the pirates showed up. I think that's my first time dying while still trying to get established. I had...

      Salvage beams are boring

      What files do I edit to try this out? I looked around but couldn't find the ones for cargo settings.

      Starmades's economic climate.

      There's also the shops, that seem to have just about everything, and lots of it. The shops remove the need to even mine anything once you've done the whole routine of killing pirates and selling computers to make millions. Minecraft has villagers who trade, but they deal with the rarest thing in...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      Am I happy that the reason you're acting like a dick is because you dislike minecraft and have a personal vendetta against anyone who dares to suggest elements of that game could possibly work in this one? No, that doesn't really make me happy. You came into a thread that was clearly marked as...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      It's nothing against me, but in your words I should go play Counterstrike or Call of Duty, because I need an easy to win game where I can become OP. I spend my poor life fighting in the easiest way. Yeah, you made a few mistakes, but your ignorance towards other people and their tastes, comes...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      This "booster" item doesn't actually exist, so what it requires or doesn't require could be anything or nothing. In minecraft you have to build XP farms, enchantment tables, book cases, and not die, in order to maintain the boost that enchantments give you, you also have to replenish their...

      Salvage beams are boring

      Another issue I have with the beams, if we can use beams to salvage blocks and move them into our ships, we should be able to "beam" items to other ships via a similar method, but we have to physically dock for that. It just seems like the the salvage beams are out of place compared to the other...

      Salvage beams are boring

      Contact lag might be an issue, but what happens when that contact results in the blocks being removed and put into storage, does it still cause the same lag? I'm not really here to discuss the lag subject, I'm not a programmer or familiar with how starmade is built, so it seems pointless for...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      According to the plans for starmade, you guys might be disappointed with the NPC progression, it's pretty much what I have described except for NPCs rather than ships.

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      Removes the need to build intelligently? No, not at all. That's like saying people can gear up in leather armor and use stone swords as long as they enchant them first. You still need to use diamonds if you want to compete, you still need to build good ships. In fact it's probably the other way...

      Salvage beams are boring

      Yeah, okay. Whatever. Stick your fingers in your ears, pretend numbers can't be changed, and keep repeating the same things over and over. That'll change my mind.

      Salvage beams are boring

      All I'm hearing is that some of you guys don't like mining, therefore any improvements or changes are unwanted because you've already established a mining routine that requires minimal work or thinking on your part. There's no reason you can't automate a new system. All I'm really suggesting is...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      Not really, they could add in consumable items that make your ships systems statistically better, it wouldn't really hurt replayability. Minecraft has this in the enchantments you can put onto your gear, you have to play the game in order to get the XP to apply the enchants, so it actually...

      Salvage beams are boring

      Why? If the game is balanced accordingly, spending time mining should serve the same purpose. I don't see how making the process more involved would make things worse. Sure, if you just make it less effective and more involved without balancing things, it would suck horribly, thankfully that's...

      What I Miss Most from Minecraft

      I agree, hopefully when they get to adding fauna into the game they also do something with hunger so we can start producing food on our stations or planets. One way I found to prolong the fun of survival mode in this game is to start a new game and ignore the shops, mine and use factories for...

      Salvage beams are boring

      I was thinking more about the drill idea I had, I think it could really improve the whole salvaging/mining expereince. Rather than 1 salvage beam shooting a single block at range, we would have a drill bit block that removes 5 blocks when it touches them, one block in front of the drill bit and...

      Salvage beams are boring

      In my opinion the salvage beam system is overpowered and adds nothing but problems to the overall balance of the game. I think they either need major changes to the way they work, or they need to be replaced with something like a mining drill. The problem as I see it is their long range and low...

      Newbie Storage and factory questions

      It sounds like you aren't linking the cargo area blocks to your storage boxes and shipyard. In build mode press C on the storage, factory, or shipyard, then press V on the storage blocks you want to link. You can also press shift+V to link groups of cargo space. If you select the storage box...

      What type of StarMade gamer are you?

      Survival mode player, building stuff to make my universe more enjoyable, from materials I helped collect. It's minecraft, but in space.

      How long will it be before we see the first stick carrier?

      I was thinking more along the lines of being 200km away from your station but having a full cargo bay, so you dump it into an automated ship that flies itself home and docks, while you continue on your way. I doubt there's any work around for that.
