      Help for game bug

      It sounds like game bug was introduced in that update. Could you somehow pull up Java console and see what it says? About the error dumps, did you really check the logs/ folder?

      Can't seem to win a fight?

      I decided to upload a video of me going at pirate exploration :) Sorry for no audio, use some of your own music if you want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1cQYqEp2Nc Normally i don\'t risk myself for being so long in turret fire, and getting hurt that much. Enemy anti-matter came through my...

      Power Generation - Cracking the code

      All you need to know about power regeneration, is that: \"When you add 1 power block to power group, it must increase the overall size of the group in X, Y or Z direction.\" By doing so, your energy regen will grow at exponential rate. 1 large group is much more power than 2 equal sized groups...

      Can't seem to win a fight?

      If they get your shields down even to half, you\'re already doing it wrong. You have 2 options: 1) Make ship so big and powerful, that you can stand face-to-face with the enemy and blast it to bits in 2 seconds. 2) Make ship fast and agile, and evade enemy fire. Use strafing keys, A, D, Q, E...

      Making hull more useful via evenly spread damage as well as making shields proportional and less ove

      There is nothing more annoying than having to repair hull from very complex and large ships. First i thought i\'d use normal hulls, but now i just sell L5 ores to the max, and blueprint-buy big blocks of hard hulls. It\'s absolutely non-viable to play with standard hulls, because it\'s possible...

      Proper way to stop dedicated server?

      I'm starting dedicated server from StarMade-dedicated-server-windows.bat. Problem is that the console is not accepting any input... What i normally do is Ctrl+C to stop the server. It seems to do saving stuff, but i'd still like to be sure if this is OK way to stop server? I don't want to use...

      Block placement lag

      Your CPU is bottlenecking, not RAM. Athlon 64 x2 4200 runs with 2 cores of 2.2GHz. After that next bottleneck is GPU. Starmade doesn\'t use more than 1GB RAM even if you run both server and client on same machine, when it\'s moderately stressed.

      AstroTechnoBeam Bug

      Select astrotech computer, and then go through each beam\'s front turret with shift+V. That way you can be sure that all the turrets behind the front turret are also connected to the groups.

      List your top 3 game breaking bugs or flaws

      I may sound harsh, but i really hope these will be addressed in the future :) 1. Projectiles do not start with the shooter\'s velocity. This messes up the whole space combat, you can\'t hit targets as well as you should. Missiles become almost useless for their already slow speed anyway. What...

      Gravity doors!

      What if you use build block from outside the ship, and then use core to go inside the ship? You wouldn\'t have gravity inside the ship. Same if you enter the main ship through a turret.

      Dodecahedron Planets, easy implimentation.

      There wouldn\'t be any craziness in the middle of planet, as the core is always thousands of degrees hot. You would burn to crisp well before coming anywhere near the core.

      Sphere planet illusion from cube planet

      The blue rectangle represents a player made building on a planet. He built 2 of them, and the planet stored in memory is just 1 of those 16 cubes, it just repeats forever visually. But he will never see more than one instance of each building at the time, because roundness for the surface will...

      Sphere planet illusion from cube planet

      And no, i don\'t claim to be first one who came up with the idea, many people here have already talked about this. But also many that haven\'t grasped the concept.

      Sphere planet illusion from cube planet

      Just showing 1 way to make planet from cubes, kind of illusion of sphere when it's actually not. What you get from planet like this? It is repeatable in X and Z axis just like real planet. If you fly plane in 1 direction, you come around where you started, and all you ever saw was flat (a...

      Dodecahedron Planets, easy implimentation.

      Not all of the ideas here ask for any weird gravity. If you use the looping cube world, gravity is always downwards, and grass surface is on the top. But you see the top grass surface from all 360 degrees in space axis\'s, just spherical mapping.

      3rd person view!

      Indeed, the shift-zoom is impossible camera angle to aim at things. I don\'t know what it\'s for currently either - it can zoom out very far to sector view, but there is a separate \"camera\" mode for map.

      Processor Using Crazy Amount of CPU

      Just being idle on faction planet, alone on my server i get ~27% CPU use. Entering any planet, even previously explored one makes it go 100% for half minute. I have Intel 3GHz dualcore processor, and 4GB RAM.

      Pirate Station Faction Block Indestructible?

      You cannot salvage faction core. Also actual damage dealt is numerically floating point. Visually you only see 0, but it might actually be 0.5 or something. The faction core will be destroyed with any weak guns, if you shoot it long enough. Or just shoot 1 missile next to it, so blast radius...

      I need help with my ship.

      Do the shift+V linking of turrets to weapon computer again. If it doesn\'t help, go spacewalking and mark the 2 frontal turrets with R for \"output ON\".

      Processor Using Crazy Amount of CPU

      Very few people seem to have taken notice of this, but yes the CPU use is very high.
