holy shit, this new update made me go from 60fps on extreme to something like 10 on normal my afterburner framerate says its running at 120fps with vsync on, but my monitor's only 60hz what the fuck happened

Usually fixes my framerate issues with most games. [editline]11th April 2014[/editline] Wait maybe I read that wrong.

[QUOTE=Gen.

Render thread runs at a high rate, but the update thread isn't.

Feels rather good to succeed in locating and defusing all the bombs on the military transport. Admittedly it took me a rather long time to find the ones set to take out the 2 main reverse thrusters.

[QUOTE=Sgt Doom;44516856]It's quite fun intercepting passing ships, not so fun trying to disassemble them. Mainly the many trips back and forth to deposit acquired items into storage (even at 10x storage). Would be nice if there were small ship grinders.[/QUOTE] Well what's stopping you from making a small ship purely with the role of acting as a moving cargo container?

It's hilarious, I love it.

[QUOTE=Magman77;44520320]Well what's stopping you from making a small ship purely with the role of acting as a moving cargo container?[/QUOTE]Meteorite strikes and uranium, mainly. Though with the large amount of ships i've captured, they could be used to shield my base of operations from being hit.

My automated mining setup. You just need to collect the goodies once it's through.

My framerate's been better than ever post-update.

Which file do you edit to increase build speed?

[QUOTE=ChristopherB;44521048]Which file do you edit to increase build speed?[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Thunderbolt;44497802]If you want to speed up construction/deconstruction of things, you can open SpaceEngineers\Content\Data\CubeBlocks.sbc, search for a part, then edit the value after <BuildTimeSeconds> So for example, open that file, search for "SolarPanelConstruction1", and <BuildTimeSeconds> should be a couple of lines below that[/QUOTE] For example in Notepad++, you can open the replace dialog, enter <BuildTimeSeconds>(.*)</BuildTimeSeconds> (I don't know why, it uses some weird fucking syntax but that is actually the wildcard) and replace it with <BuildTimeSeconds>3</BuildTimeSeconds> , then it'll make everything take 3 seconds to build

that's odd, when i first load the world its fine and stable, but then after a few seconds it goes back to horrible frames even the menu screen is slow after this, looks like its more than a framerate issue

my fps took a fat shit this update, guess it was hit and miss. I can't even fly near my battlestar without dropping to single digit or low double digit fps.

I can't even fly near my battlestar without dropping to single digit or low double digit fps.[/QUOTE] Yea same here, my game after just a few minutes in a empty world becomes unplayable.. such is life in an alpha game :suicide:

What was the 15mb update all about?

On hulls, I'd quite like to see a 'smooth' version. No lines, no paterns,No rim thing round the edges. Just one tiny texture; maybe with a spec map and a detail overlay for when you get realy close.

heavy armor without spess camo please

is there a way to make the top speed higher

[QUOTE=notlabbet;44521763]is there a way to make the top speed higher[/QUOTE] extensive testing shows that the color red increases ships' top speeds by significant amounts

[QUOTE=Zukriuchen;44521936]extensive testing shows that the color red increases ships' top speeds by significant amounts[/QUOTE] Don't forget to add some blue so that your reactor doesn't melt down.

and pink for flare~

I wish we had flame decals.

here's a working maglev prototype [vid]http://fat.gfycat.com/DesertedShortDesertpupfish.webm[/vid] 1mb video I realise now that the video kind of sucks since it just looks like a ship, but you can nudge it with another ship and it will pull itself back into alignment if you balance the grav gens carefully, you could probably have really smooth curved 'tracks'

Been testing using artificial mass with rotors. [img]http://i.imgur.com/mB4HZk3.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=Chamango;44523081]Been testing using artificial mass with rotors. [img]http://i.imgur.com/mB4HZk3.gif[/img][/QUOTE] I did a test a while ago with a 100 block long rotor, the cockpit on the end got up to 104.4 but not over. so, I increased it to 200 blocks, still couldnt beat 104.4 The next test I was gonna try was to put a 50 block long arm on a large ship and lfy to the speedcap to see if the spinning arm would break the cap. I never finished the test.

I assume this wouldn't work very well on a moving large ship, though - neither do my trucks.

[QUOTE=the_killer24;44521728]heavy armor without spess camo please[/QUOTE] I've never seen a more stupid suggestion on facepunch. If you get rid of the camo, how are we going to keep military ships in space hidden? Didn't think of that, did you?
