I did a thing and converted an old ship to hydrogen.

First for asking how much would the memedrive fuck with conservation of energy

Nth for starmade NPC factions fucking never

Probably not too much, but given that it's literally an Arthur C Clarke style space drive and nobody actually know why it works it's bound to fuck with our understanding of other parts of physics.

What memedrive?

I forgot about making the new thread and went to have a shower, so here are the Spiral and neutron dildo calculations for future OP use

>not including the SNL reply about their mother

NO FUN ALLOWED

>not including the bit about kiloshitposts

The only thing that's linked together and working properly is the 4 full adders in the middle. 2 disconnected registers to the right to store the 2 inputs, with 1 on the left to store the output (input works but it doesn't store anything yet)

I plan to use my regular punched cards jazz, which are just rectangles with separate geoms on them which impact reading rods. Each "card" to read into the machine will be 6 bits. First 2 bits determine what to do, as per the pink box in the middle. The next 4 is the number, if needed. Can be just left blank for clearing/adding operations.

I figure I'll do a little microprogram for each component. The adder already works, one pull of a rod and it adds the two numbers and outputs into the left register, but I still need to make a cam to make it store it.

etc etc it's like 6am and I haven't slept yet

>Build a 300hp shippu propelled by two big and two small propellers
>ship immediately dips to the seabed once turned on
Well, besides strapping 4m slopes on my stern, which absolutely doesn't work, what I can do?

Fine, FINE I'll edit it, GOD

Okay so other than the wings, these two planes are almost identical. Same fuselage, same engine power, same maximum elevator deflection. The one with swept wings is perhaps very slightly lighter, since I added three steering hinges for the retractable landing gear but also removed two ballast blocks, four bracers and made two ballast blocks at the front lighter to compensate for the center of lift moving to the rear

The one one the left loses its wings at around 11G, while the one with swept wings rips at 19. Why does making the wings swept increase their resistance to overload?

use jet stabilizers

>keep getting into sponges right before the update
>every week like clockwork
truly a fate worse than death

So what's the big deal now, another study claiming it works?

Swapped two big for six small propellers, problems seemingly ar'gon

On side note, how do I into custom flags?
What are approved formats, do I need to upload that shit anywhere?

I uploaded all my shit to imgur and it works perfectly

The NASA one got peer reviewed, and the observed thrust was well outside the error bars.

Any DL for Brickrigs? Want to see if it respects the most important building rule of legos.

(1 tall part with side mount + 2 thirds + 1 tall part with side mount can attach a part at 90° perfectly across 3 pegs)

[violent clanging]

can you make jet planes in that game? or any kind of plane?

propulsion goes behind the center of mass, not to the side, not above, not below

hey user, hey

hey

center of thrust

According to Marek, 3 months ago he got really pissed and told the devs that whoever gets him the best MP by now gets 30K$$$.

Two teams took up the challenge, no clue where the third MP comes from tho.

what did keen mean by this?

sauce?

Yea, i was even testing one of them.

nevermind, found it. still, it boggles the mind

Two netcodes were written by internal Keen teams, the third by someone external.

Who knows, maybe they´re competent.

>KEEN STARTS A COMPETITION

>THREE NETCODES USING DIFFERENT METHODS

>30k PRIZE

HOLY FUCK, NOTHING CREATES PROGRESS LIKE THE POWER OF THE INNER JEW

COULD THIS BE IT?

CED WE NEED TO GET TESTING

If none of the new MP is gud, will marek put the money towards gassing?

no, he will feed his money to the good AI

Fuuuck! Think if Nick did a similar contest.
Nu-Nu-FtD game of the year all years

>Your next step would be to transition to an MMO system.
wtf

/egg/men, I'm new to the whole space voxel thing. Which would you lads recommend more, StarMade, Space Engineers, or something else? If something else, what specifically would you recommend?

imagine this.
Dual universe came out, and end up being playable, and decent.
People who do replicas will jump straight away because of the more detailed building system.
The only good reason to keep playing spungos will be because rotos, pistons and contraptions, wich work like shit.

They know they are about to be undercut.

>dual
>working
hahaha
no

depends of what do you want to do.
For robots and mechas.
shit ones are in robocraft.
scrap mechanic for average
the best are in machinecraft, but takes time to make them, you can still play with other people's creations.


>spaceships n shit for small dogfights
REM, not spengos, eggpyrion

>more sim
Chode

>shit with wheels
homebrew

>sorting
factorio

>botes and complex weaponry
FtD, besiege

>2d mechanical contraptions
algodoo

>circuits and shit
SHENZEN I/O

Lots to chose.

So what I'm getting from this is that StarMade and Space Engineers are shit? Also, what I'm looking for is space shenanigans primarily, with a good range between one-man fighters and fuckhueg capital ships.

>tfw you will never get the touch
youtube.com/watch?v=nEbKgIbycl4

starmade is fine

Spengos is not shit if you play with everything on low, with a high tier rig, and without planets.
Starmade is not shit as far as i know.

You can do that in both, from a small figher to a capital class destroyer.
But i think starmade handles the framerate better.

Empyrion is a bit grindy without friends to play with but it fits the bill

This is my computer: bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-y700-17-3-laptop-intel-core-i7-8gb-memory-256gb-solid-state-drive-black/5412705.p?skuId=5412705
It has an AMD FX-8800P Radeon R7 processor with 12 compute cores, 4C+8G

Could it run StarMade or Spengos with little issue?

>laptop
You can play both, but cut spengos graphics to 2003 settings.

I actually really don´t have fps issues with spengies.

970 + 3570k here

>4790k at 4.5ghz
>gtx titan X maxwell
I dont have that either... i guess.

The shit start when you move, because of shit LoD transitions wich stutters anything.

Soon (tm)

All things progress slow but steady when it is made of stars.

Built two botes
one is slow as hell and armed with single CRAM 390mm with few explosive and fragmenter ammo boxes
other one is a bit faster with 2x3 missile launchers, mounted horizontally one on each broadside
both are below 5k resources, and meant as expendable trash for enemies to prioritize over bigger ships

Have I done bad?
Or very bad?

what game?

>armed with single CRAM 390mm with few explosive and fragmenter ammo boxes
>Have I done bad?

Yes, make it at least ~1200mm and explosive only

What's the best implementation of the new MP so far?

Are you sure recoil won't shit me over?
This shippy isn't a big shippy

i'd mount the missiles on a two axis turret

recoil? a CRAM? just add a recoil supressor on the gun and you'll be fine

Mag boots, and they are not even part of that, they were part of "another" multiplayer test.

You can make courses to run and have fun for 10 minutes before get bored again.

Hold up, those aren't normal crops

I added an underside cockpit to the spessbote like old russian cargo planes have. Really happy with it so far.

Wew looks nice I mean fuck off spengies I'm never playing you again.

>meant as expendable trash for enemies to prioritize over bigger ships

Does that work? How do you get the enemy to target the smaller ships? Would it work it they were submersible so they last longer?

[distant sirens]

Kerbal space program is... fun

>Does that work?
Idk, I am assuming AI would prioritize closer threats than farther ones.

>FIRE ALL CANNONS
>Sirens disappear back in the direction they came from

bampu?

>rock, paper and scissor Space Engineer multiplayers
>no information on what the differences are

>implying there is
Joke's on you, it's still the same spengies.

>the joke is that none of it works
Would be hilarious

I've not even looked at the content but it's pretty fucking obvious to me - 3 different MP engines, release to public, see which one they break the least.

>Modern LEGO simulator with physics
pic related

Why do people do this and think they can get away with it? It's painfully obvious to someone who knows ANYTHING about coding that that's not it.

I fucking hate how dumb most people are.

they said it themselves.
The less you know the better, because they know.

This is exactly what /egg/ needs. Multiplayer? Fucking please?

thanks, say do you have any good sources (with good explanations) how flip-flop works especially t-flip-flops, I'm trying to get into it but I feel like idiot ;_;

guys

how?!

what is your card temp

Card temp is high 50s, it turns out Borderlands 2 was fucking shit up.

Will spengies become good for merely 40k?

God I pray. I just want to see the day I can hit a button and 10 light mechs start marching from the dropzone to the target facility.
