Any idea how to structure conveyor blocks? I have the hatches lined up between a refinery, a conveyor, and an assembler, but the refined ore just stays in the refinery. Does it need gravity too or something?

[QUOTE=Holt!;44243405]The ability to grab hold of free floating objects and push off of them would be great.[/QUOTE] if they just added in streamlined ladders or something that would be fine imo, like you just attach them to the walls and push yourself around with them like on the ISS

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;44243305]survival is so fucking hard, jesus christ. you need SO MUCH ORE for even simple things.[/QUOTE] I'm currently processing 1.4 tons of Uranium Ore. This is taking ages. And the result is just a few kilograms of Uranium.

I think they accidentally added an extra "0" to reactor component requirements for small reactors The small ship version is fine, you need one reactor component, but stations/large ships? 100, what the fuck And each reactor component takes 5 silver ingots to build, that's insane.

I hope they like triple the speed of the refinery for everything but the basic stuff like iron which already is fast (although it could have double the speed). at the moment it literally takes ages to process some stuff, especially uranium. [editline]15th March 2014[/editline] either that or give us the option to overclock it or something, making it drain more power but work faster.

Unspoken and I have been mining. The rescue vessel is a pretty good platform for a mining vessel.

Maybe my experience with it is different because my world generated an ore-rich asteroid, but the only time I ever needed to change the mode to get materials was when I scaled up production to build a large ship. Otherwise, for the purpose of processing materials for repairs and upgrades to my mining dinghy (beacon, ore detector), realistic was sufficient.

Is something up with me? I can only hold 400 liters but i should be able to hold much more?

yeah, everyone needs their own medical room. As long as a person has a working medical room to himself on a server, he should automatically respawn there instead of a new rescue vessel. You sure he had a powered medical room to spawn at when he died?

[QUOTE=The golden;44245070]RealismX3 is almost mandatory if you actually want to get anything done in a reasonable time frame. On X1 even the smallest haul of Uranium can take over 10 minutes to refine and everything takes a an UNGODLY amount of resources to make. Also I noticed that every time my friend died or reconnected it would spawn him in a yellow ship. We wanted to make our own ship so this was kinda annoying having yellow ships cluttering up the place. He had to make his own medical bay even though the platform already had one but I guess only one person can use a medical bay at a time?[/QUOTE] Yes, medical rooms are like the beds in Minecraft, they're individual spawn points.

The only solution is to connect the refinery directly with the assembler.

Updated the OP. I wish Garry never removed tables -_-

On my way back to my ship from my asteroid hangar I noticed a bunch of tiny dents in the side armor. I didn't understand why but I went about fixing the dents and checking over the whole ship. As I came over the top I found the culprit: [t]http://i.imgur.com/V0GJMjV.jpg[/t] My ship was parked parallel to the hangar I was blasting out of the asteroid, and the gravity generators I had pulling rocks out of the cavern were flinging debris at the ship. edit: [QUOTE=Sunkite;44246049]Yeah, I learned the hard way that two players colliding while using their jetpacks leads to misery and death..

[QUOTE=Jamie1992GSC;44246816]I found the resources in a large abundance. And found the Lone Survivor start very easy. Which scenario did you choose?[/QUOTE] I chose asteroids, and im using x10. it's really hard to actually [I]build[/I] anything. So I have to actually survive instead.

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;44247516]I chose asteroids, and im using x10. it's really hard to actually [I]build[/I] anything. So I have to actually survive instead.[/QUOTE] Weird. I'm running a 3x Survival and having absolutely no problems, got a huge stack of ores, a mining ship, small station and a ton of fuel to last quite a long time. Never tried the Asteroids scenario so I'm not sure if the problem is due to the start.

currently playing on asteroids scenario, large and on realistic. I got a mining ship, tons of ore, and the beginning of a refining platform/station [t]http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/598157212408911332/D94A1EC47BB966AA3B187F9BC756DD5960548EF6/[/t] it's do able, just a little slow. super rewarding though!

refining uranium is insane, because of how long it takes and how few ingots you get, while the refinery itself takes a tonne of fuel to power feels like I'm using 1/2 the uranium I make just powering the refinery

I don't think refining uranium is that bad. 1KG of uranium ingots is enough to fuel the rescue vessel for about 1~ hour, while maybe around 10~ minutes can yield 1-2KG ingots of uranium [editline]15th March 2014[/editline] while not moving of course, only using assembler, refiner, grav gen, lights and being on standby with thrusters

I'm hoping for some netcode tweaks in the next update, I'm playing with a friend from the US and we're having tons of fun, but it's EXTREMELY laggy, ships look more like they're teleporting around rather than flying.

That's a really cool feature.

[QUOTE=woolio1;44248140]I love how you don't have to fully build out blocks, you can just leave them as scaffolds. That's a really cool feature.[/QUOTE] I wish you could choose a state of construction when placing blocks in creative mode. I love the look of the scaffolds but it's very tedious to use the grinder to deconstruct light armor blocks. :v:

my biggest complaint regarding survival must be the required reactor components for a large ship reactor. 100 components is insane, and in this pace it'll take at least an hour of refining before I got everything I need

I kinda feel like I shouldn't even start building another vessel. I'm just modifying the rescue ship. It's a great base for a proper - though small - mining vessel. And obviously I made a portable little drill shuttle that attaches onto its back. [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] Also it's incredible how big the special parts needed for (large) beacons are. With only the tools in my inventory, I can carry [b]one[/b] at a time. And it needs, what, thirty?

I feel like the Realistic mode was made with multiplayer in mind, you can still get shit done but it'll take a really long time, it's much faster with even two people building stuff or even carrying components. If you're playing solo you're better off using the 3x or 10x modes. And I'm hoping they'll add some real hazards soon, like solar flares or micrometeorite showers, it's kinda boring if energy is all you have to worry about :v:

I need 65 more components, which means I'll have to idle for 3 hours before it's done. that's just insane

If the reactor uses up all its fuel without you noticing, you wouldn't be able to refine more uranium to fuel it :v [editline]16th March 2014[/editline] Oh yeah you can change the game's options from the load menu, change it to x10 for a while, build the reactor then set it back to normal :v:

They could have a workshop flag for pirate vessels that lets people submit ships for pirates to use, and a game dev or workshop admin would add the workshop file ID with a number for rarity to a list somewhere that the pirates draw from. Crowdsourcing AI enemies would be great in a game like this.
