shit

So what's the story behind Spengie MP dev splitting in three?

"We can't fix MP let's make it a contest"

I hope that marek will gib the money only if they manage to actually fix it.

Unrelated, in ftd how do I stop the fucking repair tentacles that get out from my character's ass and try to repair useless part of the bote wasting resources?

press R

For the coin, the monkey dance.

99.2.23.32

factorio serb is up

0.14.21

Didn't stop them. It's not ship to ship, it's the character that has these tentacles that come out the back and try to repair shit, I don't know how it's called.
I'm not sure what is taking up the resources though, maybe the ammo maker is running (although the thing with ammo icon is full, so it shouldn't be producing any if I didn't get that wrong) or whatever.
I have no idea what's going on.
I should have studied to become physician and play games.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW MORE

daily reminder
gas the nuKeen

...

One of the teams is from outside of KEEN. Two others are inside. There is a reasonable chance that they'll manage to unfuck the game slightly.

I need to watch this again, it's been too long

Buenos aires is every day looking more like that.
Wait a few more years, and you will be able to live the movie.

What does /egg/ think about screeps?

It looks like an ant farm where you program the ants and watch them run.

Just got Empyrion. About to boot it up for the first time and go look for you dudes on Andromeda. How do I find you?

is it like darwinbots but without the terrible UI?

eggpyrion is currently ded until 5.0, but we don't have a main server currently

play around in singleplayer

Darwinbots UI was perfectly fine for the utility that it was.

It was DBDNA that made it painful.

Why until 5.0?

Factorio torrent where

No, you literally program the bots from scratch. In javascript. Unit spawning, movement, harvesting, everything. Then they run online in a big MMO simulation.

mega.nz/#!boUV2bwA!6WYwfeifr-UIIusA6Y10SHJK3Eww4ExsxRHnQEp3uvg

Online tutorial:
screeps.com/a/#!/sim/tutorial/1

How is the population? Is there a big community? It sounds exactly like the Darwinbots global sim.

i remember launching a ton of highly mutated and evolved virus-laden bots onto the global sim a while back and watching how things developed.

any empyrion serb
is it better than spergies?

Is like rust
In space

Dunno. I haven't bought the game yet, still trying to decide if a) it'll hold my attention, and b) there's interest somewhere here for a private server, because monthly subscriptions aren't my thing. It helps that the very act of playing is practically writing bots to play against in the future.

From an outsider's perspective, it looks like the online game is mostly spawning in newbie areas and derping around before getting raped by established empires once the areas stop being newbie areas. Infinite world though, so you can always start again somewhere else.

...

So basically don't join without a clan or you're fucked?

Andromeda is pretty much fuckin' dead, no playerbase retention, nothing to do.

once 5.0 hits, the HWS EU/NA servers are going to be reset and clean slated, both of whom have a very high playerbase.

Since they run custom scripts, I've been stockpiling some things we can use to kickstart our empire of fuck, since some things are kept from wipe.

EU/NA is interchangeable, though you have to use an in-game warp system to go from region to region, all your belongings are saved, transferred to the other region, and then wiped from the former one, so I suppose if you want to dick around before the wipe, just remember to use their scripts and site.

Right now I've been idling on EU, stopped once I hit this point though.
/infodump

Am I doing this right?

What do you do in factorio once you take all the resource on the map

>take all the resource on an infinite map

>he didn't set his map to infinite

Is this some Rus computer eater

>tfw you convince 8 friends to buy empyrion during black friday and they all love it

Thanks for showing me this game /egg/

Why did you guys choose Andromeda Rising over some of the low ping 100 player cap servers? Some of them have ~24 players at peak times.

wergeghhhg

B u t W H Y

Like, you're all welcome to play on the server I'm on with my friends, we could be secret allies or something.

But what specifically makes a good server? The one I'm on now has high player base which is enough for me right now.

mainly 'cause of this.

And what server are you talking about even?

>trying to understand the whims of the /egg/
Don't.
Somehow andromeda happened for eggpyrion.

I see.

When 5.0 hits, is it cool if me and my friends play on that server with you guys, but maybe in a different faction but still allies?

I played with you on Andromeda already

Yeah sure, HWS runs a bit of a unique faction system, split up into five major types.

Factionless (regular)
Alliance (peacekeepers)
Traders (sells shit, who'da thunkit?)
Bounty Hunters (mo' money, punks people dead.)
Pirates (Pirates)

I'd suggest you read the HWS site with your friends, there's benefits to being in a specific faction variant.

As for us, I'm guessing we'll probably be going the bounty hunter approach.

youtube.com/watch?v=G7su-B8_9iE

what did clang mean by this?

It's like magnet power.

Why wouldnt this work?
clearly you couldnt get off a planet like this, but once you are in space there is no reason this shouldnt work

Any ideas on how I can condense my belts for my iron smelters? I doubled my ore mining but it didn't really do anything; do I want to get red/blue belts in here now?

it absolutely would. Just put the weight in a proper track and keep it secure when not in use.

~current state of the machine~

not much to say, just chugging through and trying to hook up all the connections so it's automatic

You aren't allowed to drain ammo from enemies by human waving them, you aren't allowed to go too ham in war with other factions (literally says "if it goes too far it will be punished by admins") so you can't crush your enemies, only make them bleed.

Please convince me this isn't a server for pussies /egg/

subverted by long-range artillery beyond most turret ranges

faction wars are boring and ends up being massive ship cubes of 40 minute slogs

that's why we're going bounty hunters ourselves, get contracted by some other chap so it's their problem and we get paid regardless.

>hand crafting that much shit
Eeeewww
If you need it that much automate that shit.

It's just so I'm being productive as I fuck with builds desu. Once the iron supply is less awful it'll fix my circuit supply which fixes my adv circuit supply which means I can viably automate modules.

Though currently my oil situation is pretty as currently too. This game really is fucking great.

Also, I'm curious where you found the tidbit about going too ham in a faction war?

empyrion-homeworld.net/hws-guide
slide 8 on the rules

Oh, you mean the 'fair fights' part.

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about that, if for example you want to wreck some faggots' base, hire bounty hunters.

>You aren't allowed to drain ammo from enemies by human waving them

good thing it doesn't say anything about drones :^)

There is an actual rule against that too. Read up on the rules m8

You obviously don't have enough ore coming in.

Guys how is spengies right now? The mod folder is eating a lot of space so im considering just unninstalling it and then refund once it's out of EA, should i do that is the game decent now? Does doing anything still breaks everything?

You're producing more iron than you use. Press P to verify that.
I see half a belt of iron ore coming in (400 items/min), yet the outgoing belt appears to be at nearly full compression (800 items/min).
Can't just poof 400 items/min into existence, so the output is obviously way less than that.

You either need to make use of the other side of the iron ore belt, or check if your output splitter might be creating a bottleneck.

>Buenos aires is every day looking more like that
"that" being a tropical paradise inhabited by white people or a smoking crater?

>Argentina
>Tropical

Because Newton says otherwise.
When one body exerts a force on another body, the other body exerts a force of same magnitude (but opposite direction) on the first body.

Gotta go Fastorio
youtube.com/watch?v=RxLFOh2ZiyA

The very northernmost part of Argentina is within the tropical zone.
However, Buenos Aires is only subtropical.

If you mean high humidity, raining more than half of the year and no snow, yes.
Still this place is a desert in the making somehow.
Xenos are already here.

Anyone have any more stuff like this?

To make big spaceships you still need a nasa rig
To make robots its shit because troll physics
To have multiplayer you need lan quality connection
You need that skyrim mindstet about installing and manage mods.

No, when it exits alpha state.

Maybe not so long.

That looks really interesting. I don't know shit about programming but this seems like a good way to learn.

Cheers fellas, just what I was looking for.

I now kinda want to see a modern version of that but with energy weapons.

>Drognins quitting freejam to work at another game company that shares the same office space as Freejam

>Climax Studios

>their game is now automatically shit for being in such close proximity to Freejam, and even sharing some of the same staff

how far away from a gassing-qualified dev does one actually need to be in order to avoid automatic shittery?

At least a several hours drive away.

If you are in the same town/city your studio has already been infected, and may have staff members from a gassing worthy company.

Its good to see al the prototypes of the thing youre building though

just buy it if you're enjoying it so much :^)

And I bet it'd get sky-high ratings too.
The quality of indie gamedev would skyrocket, otherwise the developers will.

Its like Im really playing DOOM.
