[QUOTE=Mattk50;46429331]Dunno why they spent the time to make an example sniper rifle mod without adding it to vanilla. Seems like a bit of a waste?[/QUOTE] With the way they have incorporated mods into the game, Im pretty sure they want to make vanilla as barebones as possible.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;46429331]Dunno why they spent the time to make an example sniper rifle mod without adding it to vanilla. Seems like a bit of a waste?[/QUOTE] Maybe some guy on the dev team did it on their own time and just used it for the showcase as it was convenient.

[QUOTE=Zenreon117;46429409]With the way they have incorporated mods into the game, Im pretty sure they want to make vanilla as barebones as possible.[/QUOTE] thats not really a good strategy. Vanilla content gets a high level of balance, polish, and optimization than mod content usually.

[QUOTE=Mattk50;46430444]thats not really a good strategy. Vanilla content gets a high level of balance, polish, and optimization than mod content usually.[/QUOTE] If I were them I'd wait until the weapon modding functionality was finished before making any vanilla implementation of it.

I wish they'd expand cameras to allow rotation and zooming. What's the deal with a sniper rifle that can't zoom, HUH?

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;46431599]I wish they'd expand cameras to allow rotation and zooming. What's the deal with a sniper rifle that can't zoom, HUH?[/QUOTE] I agree, Personally I think that cameras and sensor blocks should be the same thing, and that they should have a zoom function.

[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;46431599]I wish they'd expand cameras to allow rotation and zooming. What's the deal with a sniper rifle that can't zoom, HUH?[/QUOTE] Don't treat it as a new feature. It's a simple value tweak with an afterthought custom model.

Made this little thing in our survival server. Its only purpose is to transport large quantities of materials between bases. It left my shipyard traveled to the first base and picked up 300k steel plates then brought it to the dome base under construction. I'm very happy with how it turned out.

How do you make a railgun? All I managed to do was turn my ship into a railgun, it destroyed most of one of the big red ships, but it also completely demolished my railgun ship. :v:

You need a fuckton of Gravity and a way to load projectiles,the method I used was a grinder and a crate,this actually works well as the idivdual piles drop as one so I could have 13 piles of 1k stone or one pile of 13k stone,sadly my space blunderbus drifted off into space after I overloaded a crate and got a rock jammed into the barrel turning it into a gravity drive.

Don't put artificial mass blocks on the same ship-grid as the gravgens. Use small ship blocks for torpedoes, since those are easier to fit into a barrel and send flying. That said, I've had problems trying to configure my own grav cannon ships; I don't know whether to make the containment field pressing inward (so that things fit into the small channel in the middle of the barrel) or pulling outward (so that a torpedo with mass blocks on arm has each arm pulled outward equally, theoretically keeping it inside the barrel). I've had some pretty catastrophic failures with the first method and I haven't tried the second, but I don't know if that's just an inherent instability of using gravity generators.

I know this game is all about the 'Engineering' side of things but I would love it if we got gameplay akin to Starmade. So that there would be a need to form together to protect stations and such.

At the moment it's heat death - at some point in the future it might be giant ship crushing AI space krakken. [img]http://i.imgur.com/oSujPiM.jpg[/img]

Where the fuck is the video mate?

[QUOTE=Wickerman123;46440364]Where the fuck is the video mate?[/QUOTE]I'm not willing to admit that I've bitten off far more than I can chew with the now expected scope of this video. I also haven't worked on it in ages because Uni - but semester ended as of this week - but I'm also now busy turning my project into a product. It'll come... soon... ish.

I started working on that big ship i posted a while ago, and it's already at 8 million kg.

[img]http://puu.sh/cIY1q/8183fcfc5a.jpg[/img] So i wanna make this walk not sore of the best way to go about it.

Sweet baby Jesus... Uh, you might want to observe real insect walking patterns, I guess? Make timer/group combos for each leg set (like a group for the middle left leg and the two outer right legs, and vice versa) so that one set moves forward, then stays still and/or triggers the movement of the other one, and a reversed arrangement for walking backwards too. [editline]9th November 2014[/editline] Shit, if I knew how to do any of that, I'd love to make a Scarab.

I am thinking of doing it via timer blocks,also thanks power outages my wrk was saved thankfully but my security alarm is beeping every 5 seconds.

Is there no easier way to change between single/line/plane placement than going into the game options? I find myself changing so often it's starting to get tedious.

[QUOTE=matrix_1995;46446776]Is there no easier way to change between single/line/plane placement than going into the game options? I find myself changing so often it's starting to get tedious.[/QUOTE] Hold left control to draw line, hold ctrl+shift to draw plane :v:

[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;46446857]Hold left control to draw line, hold ctrl+shift to draw plane :v:[/QUOTE] When I first figured this out, it literally doubled my enjoyment of this game.

I wish they'd let us change those keys at some point, I [I]REALLY[/I] want to bind crouch/fly down to control.

[QUOTE=JesseR92;46443668][img]http://puu.sh/cIY1q/8183fcfc5a.jpg[/img] So i wanna make this walk not sore of the best way to go about it.[/QUOTE] Basic tripod gait. While the middle leg is moving up and forwards, the end legs move down and backwards, and it's the opposite on the other side. It should remain stable as long as three legs are contacting the ground.

Is there a way to fill your inventory or a container with resources in creative mode? Like if I just want a container full of uranium without actually having to mine it myself?

[QUOTE=Raidyr;46447496]Is there a way to fill your inventory or a container with resources in creative mode? Like if I just want a container full of uranium without actually having to mine it myself?[/QUOTE] If you're in Creative, press Shift+F10 and there should be an option to spawn stuff at the bottom. Uranium ingots and ore are an option, I'm pretty sure.
