kek
Not sure why they act so surprised in seeing a little bit extra of poo. I mean, they have the Ganges. If BIOCLANG exists, i'd bet that it will spawn river.

*it will spawn in that river

Avorion question: Is there a way to find more turrents once i lose them all? (i still have three, but the mining ones are gone)

You can always exit ship as drone with mining beams.
Apart from salvaging wrecks and blasting enemies there is no other way to acquire turrets.

On Aki's serb, however, there is a turret merchant, but you have to replace a file.
Here's link with instructions:

How is Factorio?
It looks awesome but is the late/end game as bad as the early reviews said still?

Are the devs adding actual content to it?

Pls respond

...

Endgame is kinda boring, if you don't do mods.
Otherwise it's fine

And yeah, new content comes every few months

...

Avorion server:

149.202.65.190
149.202.65.190
149.202.65.190

Shits fun yo.

What mods would fix the endgame being boring?
I'm on their mods page and nothing seems to be it

bungie why
why did you ruin everything

...

Ion Cannon mod
Shitting them out till you can fire them continuously.
Or any mod that creates vast resource sink, so you keep on expanding and expanding.
Also self imposed challenges can do so.

...

Nice
Some guy told me they're still working on the endgame and adding things to it

Is this true or was he a braindead fanboy?

I checked their website but it's a mess with walls of texts of changes that mean nothing to me

When I read their posts, I get the vibe that to them game is like 40% ready.
They know vanilla endgame a shit, and sooner or later they'll fix it.

That's good
I feel that vibe in their promo video too when they list the features

>Do all this cool stuff!
>And after... Uh... send a rocket to space?

Pretty funny

Well, it's not like it's finished now, especially with version 0.12.33, and Early Access.
Maybe by 2018 game will be fully done.

That sounds like a sound idea actually. Load up a rocket and start working on an alien planet.

Thinking of picking up Factorio.

Any essential mods or tweaks?

Do as far as you can in vanilla first, then browse mods.

You get turrets as a gift from factions when either you kill the pirates or if you do a little damage and then they are destroyed.

> factorio endgame
complete all research; aka sit around do nothing and wait for your factory to solve it
end freeplay by launching the rocket
go on a biter genocide
> add mods
above but with modded weapons

factorio is a sandbox puzzle game, there's no reason why there should be an endgame to it. being able to go into space and do the exact same thing some place else isn't an endgame, it's a senseless grind.
a proper endgame would be a physical test of your factory to see if you can ship finished products off-planet as a goal and be time/resource efficient about it.

apparently the ganges is so polluted that a virus that is both a bacterio and virophage evolved in it, and is the reason why all of india doesn't just die from cholera.

It doesn't need to be some grindy shit
It can be what you said, some sort of exporting goods of the planet challenge and micro managing that
Sounds good

I would be very sad if the endgame of it stays a grind, which it actually seems to be now

>factorio tuns into isometric spengies without keencode

If you lose or get rid of all of your turrets, you are automatically resupplied with a set of basic turrets, 2 chain guns, 2 laser guns, 2 mining lasers. Bottom of the barrel starter trash, but you get all of them.

And as others said, you can always deconstruct your ship or just leave your ship and take the mining drone out for a spin, I think the default key for that is T.

In avorion, do you tend to build your ships from multiple large hull blocks with some big crew/cargo/whatever blocks in there somewhere or make it from the non hull blocks then put plates of hull onto those?

I usually try to predict how big the ship will be, make an appropriate crew quarter block, a solar sandwich and some cargo

Then I make the outline of the ship and fill the center with the lightweight girders, also putting down engines and thrusters

>Factorio endgame turns into importing faggoty colonists, that demand housing, food and flashy shits like TV or clothes, but in return provide you with fucking army of tanks and troopers
>game turns into Starship Troopers.

>has such sexy ship designs
>but one of the most cancerous fanbases

such a shame

has anyone remade any of the ships in anything?

Problem solving you say?

excited for tomorrows update?

i cant wait

i cant wait for more bugfixes that modders had to fix for them

is it a shame to use avorions auto designs as ships? sure they arent efficient, but they just look so tasty

also, that music, i feel, with lots of work and real effort put into it, if the stars are right this might become a real gud /egg/

i could only draw you one if you showed me the source
but dont get your hopes up, vehicles is a new area for me and im rusty

invader zim m8.

They'll make up for it in Destiny 2, right?
R-right??

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
HAHAHAHAHAHA
no
HAHAHAHAHA

never watched it
:C

to be clear, I am downloading the demo for Avorion, right?
there doesn't appear to be a download for a beta or alpha

Any one have the picture of speccy showing a overheating computer from /v/ i need it right now
also
>eggtorio when

yup.
the demo is amazing though.

Googling "Veeky Forums speccy overheat" gets it for you

I am only telling you this so that you may contemplate the depths of your own retardation.

I've got this instead

Didn't know it had a fanbase at all, but neither watched a lot.

The giant invisible robot that needed to be plugged is a keeper.

>first result is reddit

NORMIE GET OUT

woops im retarted

So just the ship building video or should I watch the dev footage too to get a better idea of things?

>google is now normie

holy shit guys

the keks are killing me

>in the news
>people also ask
WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!

I dont have a pic of a single computer hot...
Have this burnt data center instead.

its okay i found the pic i was looking for

So does Avorion have stations?
or would it be like in corneroids/real life where a station is just a ship with unusually bad maneuverability?

Thats mostly a slowed down cooler.

Anyone playing factory idle?

There is currently only a demo, it will be released on early access steam greenlight whatever next month, presumably it will have more features then.

Still pretty fun as is.

You should watch it. Shame it got cancelled so soon.

It gave birth to the random "holds up spork penguin of doom" bullshit with the gir character.

I don't but here's this

liquid nitrogen cooled?
aint that a bit expensive over time?

Is Cities Skylines allowed here?

tfw /cbg/ is ded forever ;_;

It is not

It would be if you designed the buildings

and all the internal bits and bobs in them.
like the main shitpipe.

:(

>main shitpipe
but what if it's in india
they don't have those there

main shitstreet.

>those suburbs

...

those are clearly not suburbs

...

>city on one side, as if this massive tract of fertile land next to a river had only been discovered a few years ago
>neatly laid into areas like some kind of civic concentration camp
>roads still snake all over the place
Come on, user. Surely you can do better than that.

there are things important and importanter
So, anybody got plans for their next bot?

That kinda looks like it would make a good hauler.

And its already blocky.

You will never drive across the surface of mars.

done

its flawed but im okay with it

>inb4 i took the most boring ship out of the bunch and turned it into a jalapeno with a thruster

Humans will never reach the moon either
They'll never achieve heavier than air flight either
hell, they wont achieve flight at all

...

So in avorion how do I rescale/delete the root block?
I want my root block to be small

Yes, it may or may not involve a lawn mower

...

uncheck safe mode.
add blocks to root so you have something to build off when you get ride of/change it.
remove root

thanks, I was searching in the game settings for safe mode when it was right in front of my face
