      'Box' planets

      I am sure most people would welcome this kind of unique cube-planet physics. You don\'t see it anywhere else :p

      Most efficient power reactor pattern?

      That is interesting... it is actually more powerful than this: XOX - OXO - XOX (X = power, O = other/empty) OXO - XOX - OXO XOX - OXO - XOX I believe the reason is in that your design fits in more powerblocks, than this thinner grid layout. It is known that: XXXX produces less power than...

      Realism

      he means that decelaration means reverse thrust, and that is more realistic actually. Not logical though, as the way thrusters are designed in Starmade, there shouldn\'t be any reversing/breaking or strafing at all. Thrusters angle doesn\'t matter, but still they have sort of animation behind...

      'Box' planets

      That is not a problem, and it shouldn\'t be attempted to overcome. If you dig a hole down, it is a hole. You don\'t intend on being able to climb it up.

      'Box' planets

      If you read the comments on schema\'s post about planets, people gave solution to that a few times; diagonal planes (as drawn by sagethe13th above). I could only add to that by saying that transition from 1 gravity side to other shouldn\'t be instant, but player would slowly turn to the new...

      Spherical Planets made out of unbend blocks

      hollow floating island has round building surface on the inside. We can\'t build on round. (Unless you are suggesting the city inside it is upside down, makes it essentially a cookie design.) Again cube has much more possibilities. I could propably make some simple demo game about it some...

      Spherical Planets made out of unbend blocks

      What do you mean by 45 degree mountain? With cube planet there are exactly 6 possible directions that gravity can go, and 6 directions of terrain planes at 90 degree angles aside eachother. And there are no physical terrain planes, it\'s just 1 solid mass of blocks.

      Spherical Planets made out of unbend blocks

      cube planets have least issues. No transition phases and no unique behavior based on point of view. The way gravity can work, is pulling from the weight point, or core of ship. So big or small, works just fine in diagonal sections of the cube. Astronaut walking across the cube corner? He could...

      Better projectile movement, vector math

      there are limits to how real we want to go ;D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWaxF8jlnm0

      Backup Folder Empty

      I don\'t know about backup folders, on Windows 7 at least. Only backups it does are the .zip files in StarMade folder when it updates.

      server will not start after port

      It might help if you explained step by step what you did, to what files and folders.

      How does starmade utilize GPU and CPU resources?

      Initial collision check should only be about the entities bounding box, at least how i\'d imagine. But something about entity chunk handling is being problematic and slow. For example, i\'m running a server on my computer (i\'m in EU). I have a friend from US that can hover around planet and...

      Cannot get the server to use more than 1GB of memory.

      If you edit the .bat file, then you have to start the server from .bat file too, not from starmade launcher.

      2 bugs I have run into while building my factory

      It\'s not wise to put too many enhancers. If you for example link 2000 enhancers to factory input and then try to craft 1000 of something, it will not do anything. The amount of enhancers is the MINIMUM amount of factory products it makes. So why\'d you have million of them? :p

      Why do i have to pay shops for them to take my stuff?

      Shops have limited cash now, it\'s displayed somewhere there on the shop dialog. Simply find another shop that has money to give for your blocks.

      Build Block Crash

      Is this related to handgun being selected? The shop update might\'ve fixed it i mean. Doesn\'t crash me anymore.

      Better mouse usage and general suggestions

      This is related to 1 bug in block placing. If you don\'t move mouse after placing block, you\'d see that the placed block is not the focused one even if cursor points it. What is focused is something random behind it. So if you click again without moving mouse, it might - in station building...

      Turning speed studies

      DracoNB\'s note was good also, i made a principle for myself to place core not in the middle of ship, but further to back (like 1/3rd of ship length). Ship doesn\'t turn faster, but the front cockpit moves faster in relation to objects right in front of it, compared to if core was middle or...

      Shields Rendering Bug

      Notice that it is same texture that is used for mirror planes. There is a separate shield texture in game files like hexagon grid, which isn\'t used at all.

      100% CPU Usage?!

      I have computer with roughly same specs as you, running dedicated server from bat file. Server itself is not most of the time using much CPU, but the client is. When i want to load my full faction planet, one that\'s been seen tens of times before, it takes propably 2-3 minutes of flying around...
