I fully endorse this, along with a loot shooter that takes from storage and propels items out. I must have cargo transfer!

Nope... You are correct. The defaults heavily weigh using tracking missiles for turrets or just have tons of them. I wanted to make tractor beams to pull ships in to a grinder and the accuracy is so catastrophically bad that they barely impact the ship unless they are gargantuan in size (to...

I'm trying to build up my own little project to map out the recipes using the data files from the game and I wanted to see if I could use the textures from the data folder as well to create icons for each item. I could just manually key in all the blocks and their icon mappings, but I wanted to...

If you are not opposed to a little cheating, and this is a personal server, you can just spawn the deprecated blocks via: /give Name "white dirt" number Otherwise, yes, pirates still drop them on the regular.

Rotor accepts logic input. On signal moves it 15 degrees. Of course, then that makes it a stepper motor... Maybe we'll get a rotor that takes an on/off signal, and a stepper that moves N degrees per logic pulse.

If you want to see it in action, start a new game, and jump around from station to station until you find the new derelict ship they recently added. It has doors that open as you walk up to them and automatically close. Jump into build mode and you can see the logic right next to the doors...

Not sure who a "Big" is, and I didn't know it was a competition ;) I just enjoyed building it and thought someone might want to see how I went about it.

In case anyone wants it... I made a logic based automatic miner. When you activate the first activation module, it will start up a clock to pulse the salvage beams. Those feed into a storage system that activates a pulse when no more items are in the second chest (the salvage beam doesn't...

It's still relatively new and so far a manual process. It's hard to automate because of the options (or lack thereof) we have available for sorting and shifting items around in storage. Any system I could come up with for allocating items to appropriate factories is stifled by complexity and a...

I don't know if the engine could handle it, but I think having variable angle blocks would go a long way to enabling nice slopes on some vehicles. Maybe we'll see what can be done with the turret updates.

Yeah, I shut it down assuming it just didn't exit properly, then I found out openal and pthreads that ships with the game needs GLIBC 2.12 and I was still on 2.11. Needless to say, I updated glibc just now and it's finally running. Crisis Averted!

Oh no... this is when trying to update via command line... I'm trying to update my server and the update just stops.

Anyone else having trouble with the Linux update? Tried updating, seemed to pause, killed to reload, said it was up to date, tried force,said it was up to date, deleted version.text, froze again. Wiped Starmade folder, froze after downloading Starmade Linux SH file.

I knew someone would bring LUA into this. :p I can't say I agree, but I'll just put this out there. Java has a JavaScript interpreter already (Currently Rhino, Nashorn in Java 8). [JavaScript would also allow pretty simple websites to test your code and/or show off your script.] Even if the...

You had me at Haskell... that would be an interesting project to work on.

There is so much misinformation flying around this thread... Look, I've been developing since somewhere around 1984 on everything from a TRS-80 BASIC to Mainframe systems in COBOL/JCL. I've developed in JavaScript, ActionScript, Lisp, Lua, Java, Clojure, C/C++, C#, F#, Visual Basic, MSSQL...

I've posted similar things in other threads. I'd like to see the trade guild work on a demand based system where shops demand goods, factories make goods and players could even set up demand for items in shops. They load up some money and the trade guild would fulfill orders (or players as...

We had this happen tonight with two of my friends. If one was on, the other lagged off. Trying to test it some more.

Why a new block? I'm not saying I like the idea, but wouldn't a mining beam aimed at the planet suffice even if it didn't actually mine the plate? It could still generate resources just being focused at the planet. Would make for "orbital" mining stations. (Basically, build a tower off the...

This has been suggested as has the ability to add existing items to the filter (as in, you set up your chest with manually sorted items and you hit a button to add them all to a filter.)
