Thanks for sharing this... If it prevents chunks vanishing, it fixes a literal game-breaking bug. I was wondering why there is an option to turn this off / why it's turned off by default? What's the con besides the pro of reliably saving stuff? Also, just to make sure others reading this will...

I always felt that they were hard to integrate into places which used more strict/limited color palettes. But if they would have been less saturated, their color-coded style sure would have been a nice thing to have. The new only-blue version might benefit from making the different conduits...

Gosh, everything you build is of so amazingly nice design, and so clean construction quality! I love those turrets, especially the first one with the quad-barrels... Keep up the fantastic work! (y)

That's very nice work both with the pipes and everything else on the screenshots... But we were discussing those cubic decorative pipe blocks (which originally featured several differently colored conduits, but now is entirely blue), not the non-cubic, 3D model pipes.

They needed mentioning only in the way a striking oddity/anomaly on an otherwise every-day scene usually gets a word of explanation. For example, imagine a publicly shared, mundane birthday photo with someone blowing the candles on a cake... except there would be a cigar-smoking monkey dressed...

Hey... The fact that you posted that update picture, without a single mention of or even an indirect reference to those two ginormous brick turrets on the ship's nose, makes that post one of the most comedically valuable SMD posts in recent times. As if they didn't need an explanation. I lol'd...

kupu - Just a minor texture bug report, plus a simple suggestion: The red cascades seem to have flipped (the animation switched the direction of propagation) after the last round of texture updates. The blue ones didn't, only the red ones, and consistently. Sometimes players use it to indicate...

Thanks for sharing this info, nice to know that they brought back another necessary shield mechanic along with the under-fire recharge. Very useful piece of tech wisdom when designing stations (doesn't need extra shield bubbles at its docking ports; but needs some extra power for its docked...

I think you have to have both the turrets and the mother entity switched to the new power system. There is a rule that until a structure has even a single old power block left (including both the classic power reactors, power capacitors, and auxiliaries) it will work according to the classic...

Yeah, the inactive power consumption of weapons on non-turret docked entities is annoying. - Or is it something else too? This made me wonder weather shield rechargers add extra power load when docked? - They certainly shouldn't, given that they're disabled when docked (now even some...

I'd say it's kinda necessary and pays off... For example, I personally find very dark backgrounds (example, dark red, dark blue or you know, fully black backgrounds near the boundaries of star systems) to put me into a low, demotivated mood. While light-but-not-too-light and diversely colored...

Thanks! - Glad you like it :)

Those are some very nice industrial yard-themed detail elements there (y) I particularly like the crane and the suspended electric power lines. And I agree, the nebular background can strongly affect the mood of a building environment, and I too take care to choose nice ones, sometimes...

UPDATE: Alright, it's done... Here's the CC link: https://starmadedock.net/content/purple-wasp-drone.7581/ I ended up not taking risks this time, and went with good old tried-and-true defense chambers, instead of anything experimental that might turn out to be unusable by the AI. Gonna start...

Note: there's a small hidden room inside the ship; you can reach it with the transporter in the ceiling of the front opening. The ship was designed to work as an AI-driven drone. It's equipped with two beam weapons, each of 183,000 DPS (so since the AI fires all weapons at once, this ship can...

Nice shot! (pun intended) :rolleyes: Photographed right at the best time (y) I like how those turrets are looking at the incoming missiles and acceptantly waiting for the end.

UPDATE: I finally had the time and right mood to check a little deeper into the logic-heavy "Sobek" warship I used as an example in this thread... It turned out that the reason why the lower pair of docked engines didn't work in the discussed update as it did in the game version before that...

Truly amazing work with the piping and some other structural elements! Your detailing really has a great industrial feeling to it, and some of those machines really look like they were actually working while those pictures were taken. Very nice! (y)

Makes sense that they made this change... I guess no one would like too many ghostships like the one you mentioned haunting servers :D Oh, that's nice! Thanks for sharing. But you know, the thing that confused me stems for an ambiguity they left open. When we want to build a stealth chamber...

Hey, does the anti-lock-on chamber even count as a passive, AI-usable chamber? What confuses me is that you can get it only by building three chambers (Stealth Drive Base --> Stealth Strength 1 --> Stealth Anti Lockon), of which the root chamber is an active one that puts a stealth-drive on...
