Hard coded.

Wai u du dis tu me ;-;

Yeah, it's a bug I've been experiencing for over a year. As far as I can tell my GPU, heat, and PSU are all fine. This is is the only game it occurs in, and it only happens on things further away in build mode. First/third person, astronaut mode, and the debug cam are both fine. I think it's an issue with simple lighting, actually. Jaaskinal suggested setting it to simple lighting only in graphics, and that caused build mode to entirely be this, instead of just things a few chunks away.

I can confirm that these kind of effects do occur in other games and that they can be independent of the hardware setup.

From our old reports (pre phabricator era), we tracked it to frame buffer issues. Could you try disabling the frame buffer when the issue appears for direct comparison?

All turning Framebuffer on and off seems to do is make my game slightly darker.

 

[Ithirahad]

That's because the Gamma setting requires the framebuffer.

It seems one does not purge The Beast with simple settings changes

Work in progress etc etc.

Green logic?! Are you mad?!
Sensors and Area triggers do not output a signal themselves directly, they need to be linked to an activator. Green will be used to prevent misinterpreting their default states as High or Low signals.

I'm in love with the power auxiliary texture. The server textures still seem out of place for me. Going to have to test later in game.

It might just be a suspension of disbelief problem since I know what actual server racks look like.

 

[kiddan]

Man, I can't even find words for some of these. Incredibly good looking!

Love what you did with the gravity module top/bottom! :D

Phew.. glad you guessed this one correctly!

Yea, perhaps. On top of that most "computer" stuff is having to get simplified and scaled up to prevent overly detail dense blocks, almost to cartoon like depictions. While it may not look like a real life server rack, it does help keep continuity within the games environment. From my current play testing, it fits. However, things can change in the coming months after their release based on feedback.

Lots of other blocks will get the same treatment, reducing the size of borders and frames and trying to exaggerate the content of the block. The effect is less "realism", but shooting for real in Starmade is a fools errand i think. We can squeeze more quality from a more stylised approach.

Those are some pretty salvage modules. I mean, everything's nice, but those are gorgeous.

 

[jstenholt]

I'm excited, in an aroused sort of way.

Do the servers and such miss normal maps? They do look pretty flat :/


But I'm in love with the blast doors, so smooth yet so sharp :D

Probably just a case of the light direction.

Hm, to be honest, the more I look at these textures, the more I prefer the old ones. The improvements to lackluster textures are great, but the rounded, almost toylike aesthetic on things like computers, pipes, decorative server racks, and the other decorative 'tech' blocks... feel like a step back, not forward.

That's unfortunate. Maybe they'll grow on you when you see them in game.

 

[Ithirahad]

Forgot to mention, though, that I LOVE the look of the new doors, logic, and ingots. Much better.

I like it, the only problem is that I am suck in interior building (and I'm a carpenter)

 

[yo'aj Qel]

ohhh... shiny metal is shiny.
The red pipe looks a bit too flat now, but apart from that everything looks really great.
The power auxiliaries are pretty impressive, like some old, overclocked reactor core that's gonna explode if you squeeze just 10% more out of it.
