/egg/ - Engineering Games General - Formerly /svgg/

It can glide in atmosphere, and using player control it can reach orbit again, the AI uses that snaking pattern they use in planes and ends up in the water.
In outer space it works flawlessly though

>no robocraft
RETARD

/kspg/ is coming so were not as dead guys.

People wanted an /egg/ racing game last thread. Sadly I dont think there are any unless you count some of the half assed race tracks in Machine Craft.

GRIP is in early access though, if you want a fast as fuck sci fi racing vidya. Spiritual successor to Rollcage.

>/kspg/ is coming so were not as dead guys.
fugg off

im from /kspg/ c-can i come in?

few things that really irk me in this.

>limited turret count (3) no apparent mechanic controlling this
>can't buy turrets, only get them as spoils. if you lose your mining turret or worse all turrets you're just plain fucked
>mining range is pathetically low given the tendencies of ships to shopping trolley their way around

otherwise i like how much atmosphere it already has, but once I realised how easily you could just be totally stuffed I stopped caring.

p-plop...

Painted and finished, i'll upload it when dr.eggman comes back

So I just bought factorio.

I have no fucking idea what im doing

I love it.

this is one of the things I love about factorio. It's one of the few games around the build shit genre that you can just pick it up and play it, hardly ever needing to look at a wiki for anything. It's pretty intuitive and only midgame really forces you to use factories to build certain items, for which it provides plenty of information ingame on what you need to do anyway.

Open ship menu, look for systems tab.
Slot in turret control modules that drop from the enemies and, sometimes, wreckage.

You could sometimes get turrets from wreckage. Worth a shot

If you lose your mining turrets - deploy as drone.
Either select the ship you're in and "interact", or press the "enter ship" button to leave ship as drone with mining beams.

Persistent wreckage is truly something.
Few major battles later sector looks like a ship graveyard. It's fucking beautiful.
If only when debris density reaches "can't see shit captain"-level, drones/scavenger ships would spawn to clean this ungodly mess a little bit. A man can dream.

In what though?

Avorion.

>drones/scavenger ships would spawn
>spawn
you mean are launched out of bays on the sides of your spess boat

>limited turret count (3) no apparent mechanic controlling this
You get more slots from killing shit

>can't buy turrets, only get them as spoils
There's going to be mass trading and economy going on, including turrets

>if you lose your mining turret or worse all turrets you're just plain fucked
You can fuck shit up in fights with just your drone and get tons of parts and turrets of all 3 types. Plenty to salvage after the fights, and you get free turrets and credits for helping your friendly factions in fights

>once I realised how easily you could just be totally stuffed
Not if you have a decent ship

You only need 1 water pump, then 14 boilers attached, then 10 steam engines for each setup

When I said spawn I meant it. It's all well and good until you can't fly ten meters without bumping into someone's antenna floating about.

the game is really, really new
it's only got two coders, and just recently got steam greenlighted and kickstarted

the creator has big plans, and considering how much has been done already, I have high hopes for this

I can't seem to dock on any stations or anything to get more crew, how to?

Also do you just need a bigger ship for more turrets?

>there might be a good egg game finally
will we eggscend from the DED?

>I have high hopes for this
Seems to be a common phrase I see here often that usually ends in despair.

Avorion protip to save turrets: don't place them on tiny-ass blocks you dumbass!
Turrets are only destroyed when the block they are on blows up. Try to place them on a large, durable block. Actually, try to build your spaceboat out of such blocks, or at the very least, weave a few in to strengthen your ship.

the game is really, really new

Make sure to select the station with middle mouse click, it'll then show you docking stations. Once you're close enough to one it'll say press whatever to dock

Yeah that is really common. But there's a shit load of content already done, it's just not available in the demo

jesus fucking christ...

>that cursor

/egg/ avorion serber when?

...

Could you fucking shut the fuck up for a fucking second?
please don't ruin this for me

>hurr game has been in development for a few years

Nobody plays that shit anymore.

For future reference when efficiency starts to matter

/kspg/ here. A game that is decent, fun, and has little performance issues. Not factorio though ;^)

>Factorio
>Performance issues
>Doesn't even know how to spell performance

I could meme with you, but I don't want to right now.

...

cleng

>look up avorion on yt
>get abortion results
:^)

Yeah every time I google something for avorion 90% of the results are abortion

Avorion runs well on my toaster.
>cuckmade runs like ass

more avorion pls

is there a reason why?

...

Do the back of engines need to be exposed to work?

It depends.

Look at this.

>March 2014
>kickstarter video
>pretty much 99% the same UI and content as the current build

>>>got 31k dolarydoos

Auto correct related I think. It thinks you're misspelling abortion.

DELET THIS

...

>banning grilled cheese user
why though?

RiP

>putting jet engines on 30rad/s spin blocks

What are they going to do with the never ending wreckage

have spess jews steal it all and sell it back to you for a 6,000,000% increase in price.

...

WAT GAEM

IS IT GUD?

google says eve

avorion, new game, is just demo, is still fun.

you know what ill be the jew. fite me ill build a spess wall of scrap for every one that i salvage the wall will get ten ships taller

As someone whose knowledge of that game comes exclusively from /egg/:
I think that magnetic salvage blocks should be added. They would function similarly to the gravity collectors people use for mining in spengies (pulling in loose shit and collecting it all), but it would generate randomized rewards (like turret blocks, I remember reading about those being a pain to get) very roughly based on the quality and quantity of the input. The result of this is that it doesn't really give you anything beyond annoying inventory clutter if you're just sailing through space, but if you turn it on in the aftermath of a huge fleet battle then you might get some very good stuff.

>you know what ill be the jew. fite me ill build a spess wall of scrap for every one that i salvage the wall will get ten ships taller
>we were the jews the whole time

it's Eve online

it's a shit game, don't bother with it

ill be more jewish than you im the rabbi of the hill

Eve is alright, it just has a 500 hour learning curve

this setup can compress the middle set of boilers by removing the two power poles there and moving the top half down 1 tile.

So is space engineers still unplayable shit? I get maybe 20fps max on my gtx 560

Also what is this empyrion game I heard about it being free weekend and it has good reviews but is it worth even wasting time.

Havent done an egg-related game in awhile

>500 hour grinding curve
it's an MMO that uses real money as game money

now lets never speak of that shit again

>only 500 hours
nigga, more like 500 days for the tutorial, plus a god damn PhD in Economics

>some important guy on 2^3chan is a money launderer/weird mafia man through eve
i don't really go there, but i thought this was hilarious.

No subnautica? what a fail ass thread

>t. clueless goy who doesn't know

know about what
>t. another apparently clueless goy

>he doesn't know

Since you guys are not playing on the ZF serb anymore, can you tell me where the Magnesium reserves are? I want to take out some NPCs.

in asteroids

>the knowledge barely escapes his grasp

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?
not knowing is so painful

>he hasn't yet understood the matter

How do you not know

You cheeky cunt. Tell me which asteroids. Please

lmao

i don't pay attention to things.
been playing /egg/ier games recently and ignored oceanic nightmare giver.

...

so jews raped subnautica?
meaning microtransactions, yes?

>Thousands of ship seeds to browse through

Uhh yeah not a whole lot in two years for this one-man dev team.

>implying i'm mortal

Looks like something you'd play on this

kek

The map is a placeholder but the models are actually quite detailed.
