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

If you want for multiplayer, there are people playing empyrion now.

Spengos is still shit to play MP and there is no server yet.

Pirate it for sure, just don't give KEEEEEEEEEEEEEN any money.

What's the connection info for /egg/pyrion?

To play a pirated edition, because of the fail with the HAVOK engine, you have to set the date before the incident to not get glued to anything.
If they thought this, it was a smart way to kill older versions, but im sure it was by accident.

any good empyrion yt video so I can see what it's about gameplay wise ?

It's only 10$ on steam right now so I might just take it this evening if it seems good.

You better watch some videos, the game is complex and confusing at the start.

Andromeda Rising server

lots of things happening right now and the server's a bit cucked thanks to the admin but starting out should be fine

silly pirates, spawning in a planets gravity

cool wreck tho

free componets.

I Have an extra key for Spengies from the survive this Humble Bundle, anyone want it? Link steam profile or something and I'll add you and send key.

holy fuck what a clusterfuck the last two hour was

...

>using factorissimo to hide spaghetti

Empyrion. Yes or no? Just give it to me straight.

where the FUCK

Pirated it if your that worried.

How many men does it carry?

What's the problem?

our CV is deadlocked to the mid-atmos transfer of the moons' surface.

there's this weird double moon that the admin set up, and the pilot crashed when he went in between them

admin moved one moon but that didn't solve the problem, we'll have to ask him to move the other

Well there's a slightly cramped interior to hide out in, so maybe three or four at the most. There's only one chair though.

there's just one moon now
the ship is deadlocked
to the transition area of the moon he moved.

unless he moved the other moon, in which case, fucking retard.

I pirated it and then bought it on Steam.
It's incredible fun with other people.

Outstanding. Keep it up.
And how about some portholes along the side so the men can stick out their guns and shoot people?

So I just ran into 2 /egg/men stranded floating in space, gave them oxygen and a ride to our other CV. This game is much better online.

we got the CV back. What a night.

egg is degeneracy

no u

And I still couldn't fucking shoot.

Somebody explain to me how bases and ownership works in EmpyREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEon.

So you put down a base block to start a base, but then what? Is everything within range of that block considered part of the base? Does it only consider things directly connected to it part of the base?

Could I just stroll into anybodys base and loot their storage containers?

pace down block, it's yours

everyone in a certain radius can't touch your shit, as long as its a PVE planets

everything connected to the base block is part of the base.

Open base control interface and set to private
Make sure you build offline protection building

>time goes by faster when you drive the motorbike aorund in SP

wat

you are driving around the planet, time is changing

Time doesn't work like that.

>what are time zones
>what is planetary rotation

if you drive the other way, time goes "slower" because you're chasing the sun across the sky.

So driving around the planet makes the planet rotate around the sun faster? Must be some strong motorbike.

>e^m=c2

...

It just weighs a lot.

The game works mostly. Multiplayer is not recommended. They already fucked for two years, you can hope it will go better but not in some time.
Get it the cheapest you can, or coax someone into gifting it to you, or pirate it.
Don't pay attention to empyrion shills only.

Whatever you do don't get Medieval Engineers

Lol I dunno, I'm not a physician

the /egg/pyrion fighter fleet

buying empyrion soon, any heads up to what i should know about getting started?

The faster moves towards the speed of light, the more time slows down for yhe passenger on the vessel traveling.

neat
where's the server located?

Gravity (movement) causes the time to pas slower and faster, not the speed you are going.
Also the neural "clock"

I wanna see three CVs bear down on some base, with four of these things flying our and strafing the base while the heavy CV weapons shell it.

I still want mengies ropes in spengies

...

Try singleplayer first to get the feel for controls.
Make sure you check the escape pod first before leaving it.
Also, just know placement doesn't matter, only facing direction.

andorea or something like that. it's a password protected server and you'll need to enable EAC in the options and restart. Actual geographical location? Idk.

19 Steam engines & 19 Boilers
Somehow I have 100 Temp?

Water temp doesn't decrease as fast if energy is not used downstream

You guys are cool.

Me and my bro built some cheap short-range skippers.

I wanna build spesh fighters though when we've got a CV up and running.

>tfw turned on EAC but still can't see the server
It pains me I can't play with fellow autists

HALP. My own Machination has perpetually trapped me in a maze of machines and scaffolding!

Ok I joined the server. Where should I start?

How do you power on your base? I threw fuel into the tank, stood on the core and hit 'Y'. I hear a clicking sound but nothing happens.

Did you restart?
The server's have to all load. If you try sorting before they're finished the server they're on probably wasn't one that it picked up. Using the sorting feature stops the server list update.

Fuel tank AND generator?

Also look up what the "Control Panel" button is. you'll need that a lot when looking at things. I don't know what the default key is (p or something i think). I rebound mine to 'C'.

>tfw nobody wants a free spongo
I already have it and am steam quarantine slav, so I can gift the extra key to limited number of people. Still find it amusing.

remove scaffold mod you silly moo

Such a great fucking feeling

Flying low

It feels

Orgasmic

...

I meant to use the forest pic but whatever

>nobody wants a free spongo
After buying this bundle, I now have a total of 3 keys to hide in my images.
So far everybody either has it, doesn't want t, or hasn't noticed.

Me too, pity that there isn't much ice to enjoy it on though.
Scripts make for some fun flying.

Until you clip a tree and the game CTDs

>Scripts
Manual or go home

>fingers all on little ratchets so you can push the hand closed around something and the hand will stay locked in place
>push button reset to unlock all the fingers back to starting position

Thats pretty fucking sweet. You could push all your fingers into a fist, and everyone will hear the clicking ratchets knowing somebodys about to get punched with a metal fucking hand in the face.

Thanks user, found it.

Does eggpyrion work on Ubuntu?
>inb4 install gentoo

>playing empyreeeeeeeon
>oh no, its night, better prepare myself
>I bet all sorts of alien predators and shit come out at night, and all I have is my handgun
>its go time
>nothing fucking happens

You can use sensors now to turn on-off certain thrustuers to hover.

But that's not manual flight

Its more like a chopper.
>helicopters are not manual

>Manual or go home
Spengie plz. My compact builds only use unidirectional thrust.
Try landing accurately without a joystick.

Also, joystick support when? I want to be able to do that too

>So far everybody either has it, doesn't want t, or hasn't noticed.
I'm in the third group. I swear every time I'm paying attention for codes, nobody's hiding them, or even posting them at all. When I do find/see one, it's usually right after I've woken up and am catching up on the thread, and it's typically an hour ago or older post that's sure to have already been taken by the time I've seen it.

Too bad your visual detection range will still be several kilometers and AI ships are bristling with cameras.

We'll need an AT gun to deal with armor, too

But then we need a sign that says 'I am not a tank'

why don't we stick missiles on it so that it can kill tanks too

>>Completely hardwired AI system with no wireless technology of any kind
Is this something one should aim for?

That's a shame user, I hope you find one soon.
Until then, what do you think of my ships? This is my Ivy transport ship, has ions in each direction for space flight, and a single script-controlled atmos engine for helicopter-like atmos flight. Can easily make it into orbit to rendezvous with its warp-capable carrier in the background.

Also, I'm not Hitler.

For subs.

The real problem is that the roll axis is digital only, and you cant give an analog signal like the rest with the mouse.
Use antimicro to map anything into any joystick.

Use it with a ps2 controller and the problem is how much roll you do.

I do believe I've seen the one on the right posted before. It's definitely one of my favorites of what I've seen here.

Thanks not-Hitler!

Jesus christ are huge cubes and diagonal ramps the only two blocks in Empyrion?

Yeah, I did a similar thing actually, used JoyCur to map my joystick to the controls, and used some scripting to convert joystick rotation and gravity direction into a logical roll amount. Wasn't easy, and flying wasn't fun. I really wish all games at least had a basic analog control scheme mapped, so I can AutoHotKey my way in at the very least.

Please enjoy.

Ok so now I only have to do the following on my boat: fix the stupid AI room with cards and shit so that it looks nice, fine tune the handling/positioning and add... I don't know what. What is the point of shields and should I have them and if so where?

Do I need torpedoes? I can fit 2 or 4 on the bottom of the pontoons maybe. Or something anti-air? Still have to shape the turret into something better looking. Maybe I need a shield on the turret?
