One issue in programming is that you separate it into multiple files. In StarMade's 3D-environment logic, you see these connections. The other is that the deeper code branches are hidden behind a function-name-hyperlink. They are not shown directly. Today we are still writing "modern...

Yeah, and exporting it to a Schema.tic.

Perhaps there could be A-grade and B-grade items. B-grade can be recycled. They are scavenger-items. A-grade equipment can NOT be recycled with full pay-back, but is better (high-tech). Now everybody is happy?

Same for area triggers. But you can counter-act it (with more logic). To get your behaviour, you also need 3 triggers. A --- B --- C A : Be left of B B : Be between A and C -- the state you desire. C : Be right of B NOTE: The states need to be exclusive and a second entity can mess it up...

There could be 2 folders: System-folder User-folder Everything inside the User-folder partially hides the System-folder. I see little difference from a file that is in system but not user and a config value that is in system but not the user-data. The little difference I see is how a program...

No. Just computers. Because I hate the clutter in shops and that shops have modules without computer for them or vice versa.

You can make auto-targeting mine-shooters. 1. Put a light gun and turret to target enemy ships (don't need any damage or could be just a salvage beam if it works). 2. Detect rotation (area triggers) perhaps with a floating trigger and wireless logic if it needs a separate structure. 3. Trigger...

You want this?

Maybe because other games already have it and Schema wants to focus on unique things first :p

Re-program computers! A computer needs just 3-4 elements: Store-Bit + (and/or + not)or(Nand/Nor) + a clock-cycle. I am tired of computers not adapting to what they actually control (effect, weapons, etc). Put in a cannon-block and any computer and you should get a cannon + cannon-computer.

8: wasn't meant that way. You can be pro and still miss a few things. But your answer sounds a bit arrogant :p *joking* 1: I think race gates are meant to count how 1 player is progressing. 2: You can put a race gate on a small ship (wireless logic) or not? The ship can then be picked up... Or...

A solution to this would be to require much more power for effect-boosted weapons - 67% comes from fuel, 33% from reactors. Another possibility is that the attacker (the faster ship) runs out of power first - then it can only make hit&run attacks. And if you face a greater force which is also...

Why do you not just take a look at the periodic table and then consider what to add? If you are done, you can give us an image of it with checked/unchecked/crossed cells.

If lag from block-count is that much of a problem, make some faces of a planet just flat water/lava/acid/snow/desert with no blocks on them. In turn, you would get prettier faces elsewhere. If you build on such faces, the buildings either sink into sand/acid, can submerge into or emerge from...

Made my response here : Starmade mapping - A response to MacThule's "maps" I think map data should not store blueprints, but block-counts only or "outlines" / "block-heighmap-pictures" to avoid too much data client-side and copy+paste hacks.

Correct me if I understood it wrong: Enter galaxy => get sun positions. Enter system => get planet positions. IDEA: perhaps discover only stations not near a planet/the sun? Enter sector => get station info. IDEA: perhaps discover station positions near a planet/sun if you enter that...

The mushroom fleet server has player-trade-shops near the spawn. Perhaps you can just use the same logic to trade ingredients for products - that is faster and you only need a few pull-connected storage-blocks connected over that long distance. The factory would then pull all ingredients from...

Resetting blocks : shipyard. Flag block : 2 race gates. 1 at the flag, 1 at your base? perhaps a third after the spawn to invalidate the second. Spawn-point : spawn at one of many hubs and use a teleporter, unlocked by a wireless-logic password? Perhaps the game needs a bit more, but I think a...

If you undock a turret, what should happen to the (turret)-AI? Does the ship/turret setting still matter?

Exactly what I want to play with. But you can't have it as easy as disallowing docked reactors - that would not only screw a lot of designs, it would also be boring for some. Imagine : Plant + Reactor >> Fuel >> Turret/Cloak + Energy. 5plants + 1uv-light (in middle plants) + 1 reactors *8min...
