      What is your PRIMARY building focus in starmade?

      I'm a little bit of a lot of things. I'm a computer scientist, so I like my technical stuff and my functional ships. Respect the highly engineered noob cube: just because it's ugly as fuck doesn't mean it can't put a 31 diameter hole in your hull with one shot. I really like some of the cool...

      Recognized Rail Basic Wedges

      For the record, if you want to make spinning things, you can place a rail rotator (either direction) and link it to 9 activation blocks. When you dock to it, it'll spin forever.

      I highly doubt they'll change it, basically everyone does it and it's not really a balance issue.

      Read by Council Fixing the beams

      All weapons fire through your ship, because this allows you to use other blocks (like crystals or lava) to cover the front of the guns for visual effect. If you have a beam blinking out the side, you've probably linked your weapons wrong. All of your beams should be travelling in the same...

      Also consider the entry barrier involved here. Reactor efficiency is hard enough to explain to new players already.

      I mean, anyone who didn't like you would probably try to blow up your planet base too. And anyone concerned about that should make use of homebase protection.

      Minecraft has a .1s tick system. Signals move through redstone dust instantaneously, but torches, repeaters, and pistons take .1s to toggle. Signals also can't move through more than 15(?) blocks of redstone in a line. Effectively what this does is spread out computation over many frames, which...

      Issue I am currently having.

      Did you blueprint it before exporting, or did you just export the blueprint you had? It's possible you didn't save it.

      I generally agree with this. Hunger in minecraft is just annoying; generally I ignore it completely until I can sustain myself by bringing a stack of melons everywhere. After that, it doesn't affect me at all; melons can be easily farmed in a small space and have a huge yield. I spend 30 seconds...

      I would also like a longer delay. Right now, if you want a 10s delay, you need 20 delay blocks, or one of those weird LCD AND clocks.

      Starmade NOPE Moments

      I was building a little anti drone turret in a beautiful nebula sector. I went into flight mode to switch into the turret base, but instead I accidentally undocked the barrel. The game froze for a few seconds, and when it unfroze, I was in the barrel in pitch black space. I wasn't sure what was...

      The theme of this thread seems to be "the logic system is broken because it doesn't work exactly the way I want it to". I'm going to stick with my original point: The functionality you want already exists and the system works as intended.

      You said you wanted to make Conway's Game of Life in Starmade - I suggest you try building it with a normal programming language (if you know nothing about GUIs, javascript is probably a good choice). People like building turing complete redstone computers, which is nice, but they're just...

      Recognized by Council Change to Shared Shields for Rails

      I don't know how technically feasible that is. It might be easier to make astronaut weapons ignore shields when hitting warheads.

      Recognized by Council Change to Shared Shields for Rails

      I don't know because I don't personally use them, but either way, it would include torpedoes you haven't launched yet.

      Recognized by Council Change to Shared Shields for Rails

      I would also add warheads. Anything with a computer or a warhead should be 50%, everything else 100%. I'm pretty sure that cuts out all the combat-useful things you could possibly do with rails.

      Do Forecefields Cause Lag?

      Your graphics card shouldn't affect the server, though. You can render starmade on a potato if you want; server don't care.

      Recognized UI Quick-filter change for factory production picker

      Those are some nice mock ups. I want to throw in that the find/replace filter in advanced build mode also works this way, and could use a change.
