      how thick is your ship?

      I design my ships with: Room, 1 wall, 1 empty, 1 wall, Room and 1 Ceiling 3..5 Room 1 Floor 3 Engineer-deck 1 Ceiling 3..5 Room 1 Floor ... repeat sum= 13..17 meters|blocks per 2 main decks + 1 engineer deck. with 50% of the engineer-decks filled. some rooms filled which may take 2+...

      Planet Hopping [ A Custom Game Mode ]

      I think there should be 3 planets per team. Because if you only have one, everybody would stick to it. If you have two, players would make defense for one and most stick to the other. But with 3, you have to invest far more in defense as in offense required to overwhelm defense. (you even...

      Button to set storage filter from contents

      How do factory inputs behave? How do 3 Plex-Stores behave? Or turned off ones? If turned off plex stores behave, you could make a logic circuit keeping 2 plex-stores non-empty and turn off after 1 step.

      Bug Factories ignoring plex filters

      That shouldn't happen. Factories should not know about "Chest Two"s slave "Chest One". Probably that is a left-over from the Factory-Input system? BTW: How do they behave?

      Commandblocks / Comandpermissions

      I always suggested string logic. Aka display blocks which contain text like: <type>commands default (mod "name" status) and (one connected "Display" contains .text) and (each connected "And" is 1) </type> everything > no text = true if not specified otherwise in <type>...</type>

      "Maybe I'll add it as a gimmick one day"

      What if they complain about lag? I only want big (compared to your ship) canyons to fly through - Some landscape around my base. _ Maybe you can land (=dock) a vehicle|drone at some position above ground, but it should contain equipment to avoid or resist dangerous environment. _ all other...

      Automated Ship Fabrication

      Spray area triggered dis-integrator templates :p It would be nice if parts docked as ships but with all CPUs / Cores in one plane and nothing beneath could be flagged as "hull plating" and share shields.

      faction friendship point system

      This is too simple. Not bad, but not good to adjust to everone's needs. I suggest: Per faction-faction link: acceptance.pos = 0..100% : aka (acceptance, cooperatism) acceptance.neg = 0..100% : aka rivalism ... trust.pos = 0..100% : aka trust trust.neg = 0..100% : aka disappointment Each tuple...

      Inverse docking

      Should a pirate care whether a bounty is put onto his victim? I'd say it should be handled as "a request to dock into this slot" The emitter is a dock while active entity-> for this one entity dock-> redirecting the dock action to one dock (nearest fitting of linked/usable docks? nearest to...

      Kupu's thread

      Take it as a compliment on your own design (it's unique) Kupu :) @tenk11kamikaza I tried it with GIMP but run into quite some annoying things. First : the only way to limit gimp to an area of 1/64 of a picture is to select this part. Second : distinguish between border and image. Once I got...

      Thrust Mechanics Explained

      Turning 90° or 180° in one plane (xy, yz or xz) or even in a half sphere is not the big problem But the mechanisms required are more expensive and also weight - if just a bit - more than the static counterparts. Even if not that much as 2 or 3 thrusters. But thrusters should not have a full...

      The Current State of Weapons

      You should have picked a rescue ship, not a ship using hidden tech for mass destruction. Weapons which don't distinguish between friend and foe are supposed to be forbidden if not used as the very-last defense line in a war. Or by EVIL peoples.

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Buy with blocks? lucky you, you who are able to fit all different required blocks for buying ships into your inventory.

      The ultimate drone R&D thread

      Maybe true, I somewhat hate the fact that you have to throw away and buy a dock because you want to replace the content of it very efficiently. Planed Obsolescence !!! Burn the capital-extremists ;)

      Undo restores removed storage unit contents.

      OR because it was a big red X-cross rather than a boring looking smiley or thumb-down ;) That just makes disagree-threads bumped while leaving agree-threads un-bumped :p But we should NOT discuss this HERE

      Kupu's thread

      The core elements of the first picture are: shiny pulses pulses raising along the main axis ((long enough horizontally inside this spiral to let you see them as vertical rising pulses)) blue vertical separated along, not crossing the main axis a round helix To me it looks not at all inspired...

      Crime and punishment

      PvP usually happens with a game that resets every 30 minutes or even every round (respawn players, take time to find another player) Aka : SpringRTS, Chess and CounterStrike Or in where there are so many players that nobody can for himself be bigger than 20% of others of the 20% of previous...

      The Current State of Weapons

      The issue is that peoples are encouraged to spam that many missiles with drones from that many different directions to make the "anti-missile targeting CPUs overheating" => LAG. I think beams should target small missiles and cannons only large nukes but be more effective at it. Pulses should...

      Thrust Mechanics Explained

      I think current max speed in StarMade is more like max acceleration IRL than speed IRL That would explain space drag at least :) It is the lack of realism (realistic distances, velocities, time consumption) that made us accept parts of realism in another composition. IRL space ships...

      Crime and punishment

      The problems are : StarMade can't track assets. You can have a huge cargo box on some planet belonging your faction mate but which is accessible by you and belongs to you per agreement. A rich player can put 1e9 (=1'000'000'000) bounty on your head and if you as a newbie would have to pay...
