Starmade; a place where long sticks generate power, weapons poke holes through solid blocks of steel, and detached objects can magically move alongside the object they fell off without any evident form of propulsion. Hello, I am Crusade. This document will provide an insight into my playstyle...

I've been considering landing gear on my latest big build cruiser as well, actually. What I've come up with is the retractable landing gear with the docker on the belly of the ship. I'll then dock it using pickup rails. That way I can have the docker be in the middle or even back of the ship...

The One-Block Solution to NPC Pathing So I’m not going to make a big intro, because I’m lazy and want to actually go play video games, so here it is. The Node. The node is an intangible block that (much like the pick-up rails) can only be seen in build mode. A node can be connected (C ->...

Also remember that shootout/pickup rails are intangible. They won't obstruct the movement of other entities.

I made a similar suggestion, just keep an undocked entity in the host ships's frame of reference with zero relative movement until the game has figured out in which directions that entity could move. Then limit movement to these directions. An internally docked entity without room to move...

I think that with the game's current limitations, there's really no way to give a more realistic size for planets when people are building 500 meter long ships. Giantism, with regard to ship size, kills a lot of the need/use for planets and feeds the whole "planets are just big asteroids"...

Now i feel like: "Me dont know how to computer"

AS first reply said: use a docked entity and gravity. Bonus: whateve4r shape you build at the BOTTOM of the docked entity acts as a total shield vs planet gravity up to the top of said entity. So if you make a huge 50*50 plate around the bottom, that entire plate "blocks" the gravity in a 50*50...

Currently, there are two very different types of doors. -"I goes invisible" "door" blocks -"I am a collision nightmare" docked-entity ok, there's also gaping unshuttered openings hidden behind area triggers, but that's a WHOLE OTHER level of building. We're ignoring that. On to the idea...

of course I know you can use upside down intangible blocks, I use them all the time. The issue then is there has to be at least one block on the ground/an odd movement from higher going lower (Ok this is pretty easy too) if the rail docker is facing outwards. Which can look weird depending on...

Are you aware that you can place the intangible blocks above the runway, facing down, and it will function perfectly? No need to cut holes in the deck or mar it with visible rails. Certainly only one can pass the center at a time, but we are still talking about only core sized entities, which...

For the rotation that could work but I think it would be easier for schema to make it (copy-paste code from replacement of all other rails) as two separate blocks and it would also help people get less confused because if it was different for just the intangible rotator block and for all other...

The intangible rail docker I get your point about that intangible rail dockers thread. what I'm trying to explain is because it is intangible it would allow things like the cross rail to pass at the same time. I'll show a few uses later. (that thread is wanting it for the ease of docking and...

You were talking about 'docking' ships at a distance from the mother ship. Not spiny-things. (at least that's what it sounded like to me) Docking multiple entities to the same spot sounds like a collision nightmare. Two, maybe. More, no. Dynamically allowing entities to become intangible to...

The intangible clockwise rotator The intangible anticlockwise rotator I know I've seen this suggested before but a search comes up empty, it's a good idea though. The visible shoot out rail I'm sure you know you can simply use the side or top of a rail-docker with shootout rails so there is...

It is basically the same system with the additional directional movement so that damage pulse (close range) can move a little and small turrets could move across walls Edit: i changed the idea slightly now. Not quite sure what you were talking about at the top of your post but basically...

There are quite a few rail types missing from the game that should be added so that the best of the rail builders (and the worst) can experiment and create creations that are not possible currently. The intangible clockwise rotator The intangible anticlockwise rotator The visible shoot out...

No. Wormhole facility might be interesting. I would assume it's a very small wormhole, considering how they're normally the size of an entire sector. Weapons facility, no. At least, not for ships. Astronaut weapons I would be OK with, but ship weapons should not have rare uberpowerful...

Quick environment ideas Planet plates could be based on size(bigger planet = more plates), think Pentagonal Hexecontahedrons or Truncated Icosahedron A new class of generated structure, "ancient" these are rare and powerful artifacts that contain materials, systems and objects that can't be...
