      master builder seminars for noobs?

      I guess it comes down to how you define "master builder". If it's all about the stats, then I doubt there are many up-to-date videos, if any at all. If on the other hand your definition is about aesthetics, then I don't think "post-qf" matters at all, and there are a couple of really talented...

      StarNet

      ------ I don't know what "the top link" does (I don't use Windows, and even if I did, chances are I wouldn't be using the same browser anyway), but that sounds an awful lot like your OS trying to be smart -- instead of saving the file somewhere on your disk, it tries to open it with the...

      StarNet

      https://files.star-made.org/StarNet.jar still works for me, I haven't tried the others since I don't use them. You might want to try substituting https (new, encrypted) for http (old, unencrypted) in those other links. The functional part is StarNet.jar, the others are just a GUI wrapper and a...

      Audio system finished, GUI scaling and better resource loader! Universe update dev dump 3 - [11th of October - 29th]

      Many thanks for opening up the spread of information beyond just Discord and live streams, even with the considerable time lag. Much appreciated.

      Wild Space Explorers

      The one thing that struck me as odd is how when you reconstructed the ship into its more asymmetrical form, you placed the docking port on the starboard side. If I'm not mistaken, there is a historical reason why ships' sides are named the way they are–when the ancients placed their ships in a...

      Linux and OSX users needed

      You need to have java, wget and unzip installed, the way to do that varies depending on your distro; I'm using Gentoo where it looks like this: # emerge -tav icedtea wget unzip Other distros may have a different incantation ("apt-get" for example), but the general idea is the same. "icedtea"...

      Juniper Rocket Appliances

      Please forgive me if my Latin is a bit rusty, it's been a few decades, but "I'm spinning the cheese"? Oh, I get it – Rota Casei, "Wheel of Cheese"...

      Small Status Update

      I read "research and other projects" as tasks related to the development of Starmade, but not intended to be integral parts of it. Prototyping mechanics, without having to properly integrate them into a full game with all its dependencies and intricacies. Of course I may be wrong, and while I...

      Reactor stabilization beam and Rules

      Not necessarily; quite a lot can be done with careful placement of reactors and stabilizers, without even using nodes. Much of the time it's possible to simply design around the streams. Of course using nodes opens up more options. Of course, but you can also disable the logic connections in...

      Reactor stabilization beam and Rules

      I don't think that would be the same – for one, it would require you to manufacture and place additional blocks when often space is at a premium; the energy stream comes as a "freebie", if you will. It also provides a bit of a challenge to aesthetically integrate it into a build, which I see as...

      Reactor stabilization beam and Rules

      Tested right now, "Entity; Always true; Enable Energy Stream" works as intended; you don't need to "send to server" on single player, and you don't need to restart the client even if you added the rule from within the game. Hindsight is 20/20... thanks Morphix. EDIT: Enable Stabilizer Energy...

      Reactor stabilization beam and Rules

      To paraphrase the previous posters, "Yes, but please do tell how?" I too like the beams for their visual effect, and having played a while without, I think I'd prefer to have them back... On a single player instance, I have been trying "Sector; Sector Range; Sector->Player; Enable Energy...

      Ship Dealers

      I don't think it needs to be as complex as you suggest. It doesn't have to get the approval of MPAA/RIAA and consorts ;) All it needs to do is prevent copying of/creating blueprints from a ship on the server it is on, while it is on there. Once a blueprint is on the StarMade Community Content...

      Need help converting

      Famous last words ;p I don't think it has ever been a good idea to advise users on skimping their backups. Don't do this at home, kids! ALWAYS make a backup, and VERIFY it works!

      Cargo Pod Opinions

      I use containers for segmenting storage, but as has been mentioned, ultimately they're less practical than ship-local storage when it comes to docking and transferring cargo. Comes down to your preferences, I guess...

      Universe Restoration

      Just a shot in the dark... does WORLD=yourworldhere in server.cfg point to the correct universe directory? Is the directory readable to the server process – which may run as another user – including subdirectories? Does your server actually use the config file you're looking at?

      The DPDDspace Server Wrapper

      Interesting, especially the asteroid removal plugin. Any chance to see the source? I'm always a bit reluctant to run arbitrary executables from the Interwebs that may or may not do what they pretend to... not saying yours is doing anything nefarious, but "The better part of valour is discretion" ;)

      Feature Rarity and "Unique" features in the Universe Update

      TL;DR: So much this. Make the universe a big and most of all, empty place! Excuse my shameless plug; while old, I think Derelict/Abandoned Ships has some relevant thoughts on the topic at hand. I don't want to copy/paste, much less type, all that again... ;)

      Lets make a SM slang guide - I will start =)

      "To despawn something" already has a clearly defined technical meaning. It will only add confusion if you try to reuse it with your own definition that nobody familiar with the term will immediately understand. It's as if you disagree with people calling the sky "blue" because maybe for you...

      So true. Neither are live streams.
