That seems to be what's happening on my targets. Either they blow right the fuck up or the AI is dead. With like 2 or 3 hits.

Scary shit. I wonder how one protects against it actually.

Maybe ERA works

Reactive armor, shields and not getting hit.

Air gaps are effective to an extent against smaller SC rounds, ERA can keep you safe for a little while against the larger ones. Always double layer your ERA or the secondary SC will fuck you up.

The only real way to actually be safe is to just not get hit. And since i-fused SCs basically ignore shields, that means speed and erratic movement. AKA back to the ol' meta no fun allowed.

ERA protects you from exactly one SC. Any half-decent gun will be firing much faster than you can repair your ERA.

I didn't even know we have explosive reactive armor in FtD.

>shields

Forget them, they don't do shit.

I think Factorio is missing an opportunity in not having mountains that you can dig your way through. And it would break up the terrain some, make it more exciting.

It's almost entirely wood, with a little metal for the most fragile parts; from what I've seen CotE are pretty DWG-like for building materials.

If you mean the behaviour, it's just ACBs. It's set up to peel open at a greater range than than the LWC is set to open fire at, but I still suspect I'm going to have to do something to stop it blasting its own shell off once it has weaponry.

Thanks for the webm

Nice pic OP

ayy

someone used my image

i am happy

I really do like this ship. It's grown and morphed over time, every time I see it something's changed. IIRC it predates nucannons, right? I really should make a ship like this to play around with, but I'm hardly ever in campaign.

Example CRAM explosive artillery variant:

Does pic attached to Marauders, so long as it can get the first shot in. There much of a colorscheme established yet? I've given it some faction accents and a red iris for explosives, but otherwise these things are basically unpainted.

Nice, and for the color, there's nothing yet, so you could set the color for the faction if you want

FEED ME HIPPIES

>Not wanting spess jews
Dude, you could eat their noses for eons :^)

Make that into an Atlantis submarine pls, let's create the monsters that won't be implemented until some years

>Make that into an Atlantis submarine pls, let's create the monsters that won't be implemented until some years
Waaaay ahead of you. The plan is to use harpoon missile/torpedo hybrids firing up out of the maw to reel prey in.

Would it be a bit overkill if you put a particle cannon inside the maw set to disperse fire so it looks like a vortex?

Good idea. I'll save that for the structure variant with a four-part lua controlled jaw.

Is it possible to make a hook missile and drag it back so something like that can eat aircraft and small ships??

Extra points if you name it charybdis

Both possible and the plan.

Stop reading my mind.

>colorscheme
I vote space jews colors for sky jews.

>primary: brown
>secondary: black
>detail: gray
>trim: cyan

Like that?

Da, but also colors of MOAs, ospreys and crewmen for appropriate stuff.

/egg/prion when?

When it clangs.

kerbals are officially obsolete now

This is my first time playing Factorio...H-How did I do /egg/?

well meme-d!

I come back from having to work graveyard overtime to this??? I fucking love you /egg/, have my babbies!

You do realize I'm just going to eat any babbies I'm given?

TAKE ME NOW MY SEAHORSE STUD :^)

It's not THAT bad....

That map though, gotta restart that.

Fucking finish that thing already, i want to see it in action.

Setting up furnaces in a way that cancels expansion is asking for problems.
Manual inserting also hurts.

And Jesus Christ, re-roll that map or get Landfill mod

Could I get that lobster ghost sub blueprint someone had last thread. I'm updating the pastebin

the lobster is a turret, not a sub
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=672114411

You mean I can't build a bridge or a boat or something?

Still a WIP, making things actually sink is unreasonably hard after the buoyancy buff. I had to dick with the global settings to get it to actually descend to the seafloor. Easy enough problem to solve, but I forgot to make room for the solution and need to rearrange the innards.

nuh uh, sonny.
get mods or reroll.

No there was an actual like, yoshi's island-esque ghost looking lobster looking submarine last thread. I got your turrets in man.
Aight man. Take your time

You can with mods, but chances are if that's your first time the mats there won't be enough to make it out of the island even if you do get mods right now.

>submerged sub gets damaged
>game decides it's a lost cause because lel you're so deep underwater

Fix when.

>No there was an actual like, yoshi's island-esque ghost looking lobster looking submarine
this one i guess

Water pressure in ftd when? Then the below 80% and sinking can be replaced by the vehicle getting crushed as it sinks.

Fix that shit.
A FUCKING WARNING TO ALL OF YOU, DONT DO STUPID SHIT LIKE I DID

That. Except theres a more finished version of it later in the thread.

Well i'll definitely keep that in mind, fuck that.

I only posted the one version of that minisub in the thread, were you referring to this one?

>You can't defeat us Shepaaard...

I can't wait to have nested spinners

Also, progress. Harpoons are firing and can hit things.

I really wish there were actually boats or something and water-going aliens

You don't need that conveyor with the gears if you move the factory one to the right

Powering inserters doesn't take a lot of energy but I'm an efficiency freak, I'd rather use a minimal number of inserters and take up a minimal space.

You could also use less inserters by putting coal and ore on either side of the same belt.

play machinecraft or i cut you

Oh my fucking God this fucking thing.

...

Awesome, I've never actually tried harpoons.

Meanwhile, DELICIOUS EGGS:
Rapid-fire AP anti-air:dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47225216/ftd-egg/EggPodACAA2.blueprint
Long range laser-guided (but not very powerful) missiles: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/47225216/ftd-egg/EggPodMissileLas.blueprint
(Artillery from also has minor updates.)

Will take down Drake Lights solo, and Drakes if they can support each-other. I forgot to get a group shot with the missiles in because I'm a dumbass.

This is going to be amazing. Shame the netcode still fucked

Dude this is straight up some sorta deep one or summat shit

What's the strongest premade vehicle in FtD?

So, is Space Engineers worth playing yet? Is it finally stable and fun enough?

Cheating or without cheating?

Define cheating.

And either.

Rapier I think.
Cool. I really dig these. These could totally be great for the children of the egg or whoever, do you have any preference where they end up?

What's to stop me from filling my ship with so many repair bots that things are put back together almost instantly?

Cheating as in: I have docked vehicles inside with a fuckton of repair tentacles that repair every scratch i suffer, in the event i have some damage, because i have multi-layered shields powered by a engine-injector contraption that guzzles oceans of fuel every second and give as much power as a nuclear reactor

>rerolled

lower your water setting a bit

reroll again
now with MUCH less water

They're aimed at being Children of the Egg turrets, yeah; got the whole hatching theme, and I've kept them pretty low-tech. (They get laser missiles just because so many other missile guidances are terrible, and Lua seems too fancy for them.)

Thinking about painting them green as plant-like pods, which might fit them in with the flower subfaction.

Then yes, include cheating.

Didn't they KEENprove the netcode with the last few patches? Was wondering if they actually fixed anything since i'd like to play with my friends again sometime.

Repair bots are kind of bad and you'll find yourself frustrated by them slowwwly pathing their way to the other end of the ship. If you really want a crazy healing factor, is the answer. But it's also blatantly cheaty given repair tentacles normally can't target their own vehicle.

M8 are you telling me the rapier could beat a Jormungand or Moray?

Fuck. Downloading Factorio during exams week was one of the worst decisions I ever made. RIP studying.

Why the fuck do my ships not repair each other anymore? They didn't have issue before.

But honestly, if it doesn't require some top gaming rig and multiplayer works well for steamfags and pirates, I might join the hype train.

I think the in-game tentacle range might have gone down a bit in a recent update. Get closer?

That'd be neat. We could also make them literal worshipers of a giant egg, possibly atop their great tree. And thus theme their turrets' lookas are based on said God-egg. You could make cool variant egg colors/patterns for each weapon type, but plant pods sounds equally cool!

I figured he meant player faction prefabs out of the build menu.

Resource groups or localized resources. I personally think its neat but a ton of people hate it.

Rate my absolutely unsalvageable factory.
At least your autism might get quenched

wait a second, why are you namefagging

>We could also make them literal worshipers of a giant egg, possibly atop their great tree.
I like this plan. Gives a good place to stick the AI mainframe too.

because he's the one that's coordinating that /egg/heim map
