      Bad Luck Thread

      Use your inventory fabrication for factories and keep selling them till you can afford a power module?

      status question(s)

      I assume then we are operating in the knowledge\guess that we only have a possible 256 ID's? Rather than 4096 or 65536 or similar? If so that's a big chunk, if not then it's ~1% (or 0.07% if we have a full 2 bytes allocated to block ID counting)

      Interesting quirks with delay-only logic clocks

      I have noticed something similar - I ended up moving to storage chain prime number clocks when the delay I'm after is big enough - they seem to be more stable - if you're looking for an interval that is shorter than the storage clock then I can't help. (I use a pulse output from the "last"...

      The Future of Crafting Discussion

      I still think that 2 changes need to be fundamentally made. 1/ A universal location where All recipes and respective factories can be looked up (be it a Databank block or a window). eg. Don't know where to build medical cabinets? Access the data repository, where the medical cabinet entry...

      Resource name changes?

      Dumb question I know - what is the official way to make a bug report? Do I use the crash reporter in the Starmade directory?

      The Future of Crafting Discussion

      While I find that moving through the menus of filters and active production tedious. I believe that we should probably re-purpose the shop UI for storage filters and factory production selection rather than simply reduce the complexity of the crafting system. We could also use an in game help...

      Resource name changes?

      Am I the only one who has noticed that there are some resource name changes? Nacht - Macet Hital - Hylat Parstun - Sapsun and Parsen seems to have been miss typed as Parseen in some locations. The asteroid descriptions in the nav window are still the old names though

      quick question

      If you are keen enough to have 2 starmade accounts you can use the same client to access both accounts by changing the details in the uplink window (though obviously any usernames don't cross over)

      quick question

      If you want you could up-link a separate account every time you start the game - but you need to remember the username and password. I had a friend log on to my server from my machine by entering his details in the start up options.

      disabling planets

      okay - If you have no economy just ignore my ranting

      disabling planets

      In that case - not a huge amount Realistically though, if you have the ability you should consider increasing asteroid spawn to replace the theoretical resource output of the planets. My real point is that currently you are suffering from essentially a stability issue, in that planets are...

      disabling planets

      I think that you would need to increase the spawn rate of asteroids to make up for the giant holes in raw resources for newbies, or are you keen on a truly scarcity based economy on your server

      A builders Pallet? Modular Building

      I think the idea is to pre-create a set of templates as a basic pallate rather than having everyone make their own templates from scratch. My most useful template is a roofing set with lighting already in place. I use it in almost every station/planetary base I build

      Questions about computer facing and fire direction

      I think that might be ultimately planned, but can't remember. I'm not sure which would be more useful to me... logic from hotbar or weapons that fire according to output module alignment

      Logic Ticks for Factory Cycle

      I am trying to build a system that generates multiple block types in a set ratio. In this case I am building all the components for exactly one drone. I have a chained factory stacks already producing multi-stage parts, I can activate a chain system of factories with a single activator. I am...

      Logic Ticks for Factory Cycle

      I was wondering if anybody has been able to work out how many delay ticks (0.5s) match up to a single factory cycle? I've been trying to work it out myself but can't seem to manage it to the accuracy I am looking for. The forums also seem to be absent of the answer (though I may have missed a...

      Issues splitting stacks

      I have the same issues. I find that I can maximise the likely hood of a successful split by ensuring that a factory tick doesn't happen between typing in the number and placing the new stack, placing the new stack in the inventory that the big stack is in but against the far right edge and if...

      Salvage array on planet

      How many would I need? - I bumped up the number of modules to about 12 and still didn't get anything with the clock. Okay my next question then; how do I make sure my salvage array aligns with my intended tunnel I am terrible at making an actual straight and true tunnel - I am always bumping...

      Salvage array on planet

      I have been trying to establish a method to mine planets in a way that saves me from dealing with the pain (to my hand) that is gravity. I tried using my slider on my joystick to map to up/down and then balance the force of gravity to maintain position - however as soon as I activated my...
