How to do we use the crafting system?

[Neon_42]

I'm not particularly a fan of the new crafting system, however I'm trying to give it a go before I completely dismiss it. As such, I have a few questions.

1) it seems like it is still more efficient to build a ship in single player and buy it on a server. Is this true or has someone figured out how to make crafting useful.

2) Is there anything I can do with terrain blocks? I mean can I craft them into anything useful?

3) Is there a way to filter how many blocks go to each factory? I have a setup where I put all my ores, shards and 'dirts' into separate refineries. I would like to be able to limit how much of each element goes down one factory chain.

Edit:

4) where do we find Larmiar to make blue hull?

I agree with a lot of this, it does need a little looking into. i think this is one of the exact reasons we need this, http://starmadedock.net/threads/feedback-forum.2976/

they have to make frikkin blueprints not insta spawn, but have a little floating bot place the blocks for you at 1block per second

I'll have to try this out

4 - Larimar it's a blue block that you can refine to capsules, not an ore. You'll find in the bluc asteroids easily.

well that would take forever and would leave ur ship vunerable to others wile it is being built floating in space'
now if this happened at a shipyard dock THEN you have a good idea

The universe is going to get an overhaul!!!
The terrain on planets will change completely, and the new rocks will then also spawn on planets. I hope it is next on the list, together with the hp system preferably.

exactly it would be not so nice which would not make you always want to build with cheats on singleplayer and buy on a server

The reasons I don't build ships on play.star-made.org:

I built a ship, made a display block " I AM IN SPAAACCCEEE "" SPACE SPACE SPACE "" SPAAACCCEEE! " and 8 Beacons on the corners. But beacons cost 10'000 credits!

Then I went to 0, 1, 22 without warp, cause it was sold out and there were the others.
The first thing they wanted to show me was the fireworks, killing me in my fun ship (not the PvP but the build server!)

Oh sorry, I thought the only do like 5 damage each (no ions or EMP :/ ?)
A bit later "You have died!". What wtf? instantkill? a few seconds later "Oh sorry, ..."​

But the main reason: I don't want to craft alll colours and types of hull and then run to the next plex-store switching one piece after another which I may need.

I don't want to drop the marker beam or power-supply into plex-stores in MP because what if somebody kills this one? Especially the marker beam!



I just want to place and make later thoughts what colours I need to craft this stuff.

you do relize if this was added alot of people would quit starmade
on servers if you dont faction your ship in under 2 seconds after you buy it someone steals it
and if im making a large ship you think i want people stealing it wile it is beeing built?
if this was on a shipyard ok that i can understand but FFS having this on a server would be a total pain and would make plenty of people hate starmade due to the fact it will then be instead of "who ever builds the bigest ship will MOST LIKELY win" it becomes "whoever stalks all the noobs and robs them first wins"

...Sorry about that; forgot that you were there at the time. I'll refit those with something like Stop so they don't really do anything. :P
