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

REM user here. We're doing some serious shit with the structure system. If it works, 1000 part vessels no problem. Also unfucking the visuals a little. Should have a demo out soon, which will include better AI, a new arena, sound, optimisation, particles and some other stuff. The trello should have the things we're working on right now. We're shooting for this weekend. I've been lurking for a bit because I've noticed my spamming of minute things was annoying people.

sounds good

looking forward to it

Sounds better than FTD.

Just read some of the pages from that FTD thread. Jesus Christ I would literally kill myself if I became that jaded and cynical about my own game and community. This seems oddly sudden. Did his girlfriend leave him or something? I remember hearing her on one of his "tournament" videos.

Will give it a go.

Kek

>Did his girlfriend leave him or something?
many keks if this turned out to be it

Someone post this.

...

We got yes men, boys.

I wish it was legal to torture and murder that kind of cocksuckers

Come home white man.

It's like poetry, it rhymes.

How's Gcombat these days?

Still garbage. Still fun if you manage to find even one autist who isn't a shitter. Dogfighting with fintool still the only balanced thing.

Pew Pew?

Always been broken overdone trash. ACF had some promise, if memory serves. Armor angling and thickness and everything.

if you can into mad skids i will begrudgingly recommend robocraft

just as long as you focus on building the best skid machine you can and only that

Alright, I`ll try it

Looks like it's got Fuel, ammo Engines Gearboxes And so on as well

Got a prototype of addressable memory using rod-logic

4 memory locations each store a bit, defined by a 2 bit address that outputs on a single rod

Not quite sure what I'm going to use it for though

Hol up

>change is what drives diversity
>this is what the autist seriously believes
Demand drives diversity, if anything, not fucking change. And if it were "diverse", Nick would simply give the option to switch between 1 and 5.

How is Spacebuild ?
I haven't played Gmod for years. Might give it another shot after I've stumbled across this mod's topic.

Factorio and REM are the only non-ded games here.

It wasn't annoying for me. Keep up the good work.

...

If you're still here Alganon, I've got a suggestion for a slight change to the 'food' for this design.
If you make the food have two separable parts (probably different layers for ease of use) of similar size, then you could have the machine take one layer as 'sustenance' and eject the other without using a shit pod.
This would let it be limited by the number of food items it can store, rather than the number of pods it starts with.

Yep, still here. I posted just before.

They're not actually shit pods, they're meant to be eggs. They have 2 laters. The outer spiky shell is fixed to the background (which gets deleted when the "teeth" hit it).
The food is conveyed through the central canal. When it's at the bottom it implants the food into the egg and ejects it.

If it runs out of eggs it just ejects the food as it is.

That was more rambling than intended.
To clarify, they already have 2 layers. One is deleted and the other gets excreted like you said.

Ooh, so it's a combined egg-laying system AND what I said, noice.
If you feel like really going nuts with it, you could make it collect two or three food into each egg before laying them.

As for the rambling thing, you're in the engineering general. It's what we all do when our autism activates.

Forgot the gyropod was a tau drone, reminds me of good times

That's a good idea actually, I might give that a shot for my next a-life

nick clearly wants to switch to 1 resource because its less work, but is afraid to admit it

I don't know but here's a tiny pushrod in Besiege

hi can somone buy me minecraft and scrap mechanic

thanks in advance

sent ;)

Wew these abstract engines look like the coolest thing ever. Any starter tutorial or beginner exercices that you'd recommend ?

Keen gassed when?

>keen
>Ever programmng chemical properties of gasses

>get so fed up with landfill requiring a retarded amount of stone that I just straight up edit the base game files
>load my savegame
>isn't changed
for what purpose

I posted a whole bunch of stuff in the last thread, check em out
As for tutorials, there's nothing that will teach you much about the mechanics of it. There are some scripting guides on the forums but I can't script for shit.
Start off making guns and cannons/catapults. Look on the scene repository and try reverse engineer things that look interesting.

I have literally no idea.
Also, are you even in the right general

Not him, but I think it's a Factorio mod that lets you fill in bodies of water.

>factorio mod
Nigger, it's in the game.

whoops

At least FtD is like TA/SupCom now, with metal and energy as main resources.
MeXes in FtD when?
ACU bote when?

>got a boner from watching jet engine test

Program the gas into their lungs.

medieval engineers is very active at least

Seeing how the game is progressing, i wouldn't be surprised if Nick removed ground combat

>Exactly one person
Jesus Christ, this sums up the entire genre of engineering games

...

Ooh, I'm having a blast with this one.

You can't do anything about it.
They're made for caressing and fucking, while still hot.

Is KSP /egg/ approved?
And are there games similar to it? Build a vehicle, accomplish stuff/gather science/ferry personnel/etc?

there's a /k s p g/ general

Someone need to invent a heat-resistant dick.

Ok on the first question.
But for the second one? Since /kspg/ is for KSP only i'm not really sure i should ask there.

You could play Besiege and then we'd have two people playing it

wait what

crossout.net/en/diary/17

you got me

wtf?

>your shekles will get you less
>parts will drop as random loot
>be flooded with shit
>get something good maybe once a week

Considering how much /kspg/ despises their own game now (just take a glance at the OP pasta, that's in every thread they have nowadays), they've probably spent a lot of time searching for alternatives.

>We use a single resource to achieve this. It's called money.

So, ftd will have a single resource regardless? Material and energy?

What escalated that thread so much its burning?

it will only have material as a resource that you can gather. Fuel is refined from material, energy is generated with fuel and ammo is made from material.

Went kinda too fast for me to understand.

Though in a later version i hope to see a return to a more complex system uniting both the multiple resources and tech aspect, possibly with multiple resource zones each giving only one or two resources (oli fields, mines, quarries, forests, etc) and some strategic points containing "tech" (ie: a rare mineral that once processed with crystal create a better quality one for example)

>tfw is easier to make nukes than jet engines

>I'm doing you a favour by not engaging you on this as I'd just get worked up and rip your arguments a new one.
What the fuck, how fucking arrogant can you get?
>Hey can you please explain why you're doing the things you're doing?
>I have strong reasons.
>Could you list them please?

>Could you link them?
>Nah I'm doing you a favor, because otherwise I'd just rip you apart lol.
Which game did he make again? I don't want to accidentally buy it in search for autism.

FTD. I hope he is just butthurt with something IRL because he was usually a nice dev who listened to people. (See the nuclear reactor threads.)

If you're pissed off from real life, you shouldn't be going around the internet.

I love that fucking jet startup sound

>FtD resource farming is kill
Blyat. I LIKED my crystal farm pylons!
Mass fabricators when?

youtube.com/watch?v=bKHz7wOjb9w

is this actually the game dev?

not some trumped up child moderator?

that is the literal game developer behind from the depths

unless he's being held at gunpoint by his wife or something

*his wife's son

is he making a dig at keen here?

>that last paragraph
Anyone ask him which money he uses.
Because I want that optic grade dosh.

Someone need to feed Dick Smart the idea of modular matter fabricators.
Basically, few parts that generate matter/metal/materials and a whole lot of addons. Kinda like fuel engines.
>power consumption
>build cost
>yield
Pick two and roll with it.

But jet engines are super simple, anyone can build one

Of course it's an entirely different story to make it as efficient as possible, but slapping together a compressor, a few combustors and a turbine is simple

not before solar panels and nuclear plants

You already have RTGs, what more do you want? :^)

gaben nuclear generators

>/egg/ so dead I had to resort to Fallout: Contraptions

>his fallout install works
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
FUCKING TODD

of course it works

I got the repack with the vault tec beta off of kickass :^)

>not getting you dolphin porn right from the source
also RIP kickass

Aviation grade jet engines are insanely complicated to manufacture, nukes on the other hand just need sum weapon grade plutonium but otherwise are as simple and unremarkable as deck chairs.

Who started the whole dolphinroll meme anyway? First time I've seen it was call of chernobyl "leak".

When will you add planets and exploding dogs to REM?
