      Detect Open Doors - and close open doors

      I would love if all the doors on my ship would close after being opened. If I had a clock that ran and closed them all every 10 seconds... I'd deal with the inconvenience. Or maybe I'd make dedicated circuits for some. 1) How do you detect open doors? 2) Is there a place that explains how...

      <1 FPS - Quad Core I5 - nVidia GTX 260

      I have two lower-spec'd computers that are running this fine. I have not been able to get this to even run at 1 FPS. I'm running the current build of StarMade and Java 8. The game maxes out 2 cores. The red part of the graph indicates the CPU is running system code. Specifically, in this...

      Brilliant/Horrible idea for Large/Small ship balance. OMG

      Larger systems need more maintenance. That's it. Two of my inspirations for ship building are 90's episodes of Star Trek featuring Geordi La Forge crawling through access tunnels to fix stuff. Or sneak around. Or move around when turbolifts were down. Jefferies tube - Wikipedia, the free...

      Use Slot Recipe. Ummmm... How? Factory building tedium...

      I've noticed that attempts to copy and paste sections of factory do nothing good. Storage containers don't remember what they should pull. Factories don't remember what they should produce. I'd love to have modular factories that I can pull out of a shipyard, but... You can't have factories on...

      Please, Please, God/Schema - AI behavior and Fleet Commands as Python(Mining Fleet Woes Continue...)

      [EDIT: I meant Lua, not Python!!!! :P Ooops! ] Mining with drones has been... A lot of work. At this point, I'm certain I'd have done better putting those salvage beams on AI turrets than on standalone mining drones. But I'm far more interested in exploring exactly how drones and fleets are...

      Drone Mining Fleet EXASPERATION :/

      I made some drones yesterday that mined the asteroid field before half of them burned in the sun. Today I made improvements, and the new drones will not mine. :/ This would be less frustrating if it never worked in the first place. Yesterday, I discovered that the salvage units on my dead...

      Shipyard won't Ship. Yarrrrr!!!!!

      I created a new shipyard, one that looks like it should work. I created a design from a blueprint. Then it got stuck. I can't cancel the order or start a new one. Destroying the shipyard computer leaves the design floating in place. Destroying the shipyard core makes the design go away...
