What the fuck is Nick's endgame here?

how many resources/s does it eat?

Steam is the CRAM of engines, so of course it's going to be dumb and powerful

...

Inventory menu wew

1 mat/s for each boiler, for a total of 13. Which puts its equivalent fuel efficiency at somewhere between *screams externally* and *screams eternally* depending on your refineries, but apparently that's par for the course with steam engines.

>A LOT LIKE CAMPING
Gets me every time

...

>What the fuck is Nick's endgame here?

The shittiest ultimate form

...

Engineering freedom.

steampunk is for fags and weebs

17th for gas the devs

Fuck off to /k/ retard

Arma 3?

That's an actual video, user. Dillon makes the miniguns on there.

>the ricocheting tracers
Ohh baby yes

It's simple really, the goal of all engineering game designers is to make the game realistic enough that in addition to selling the game, they can sell engineering services from thousands of autists working for free

>5x5x8
>well over 16k power
>13 mats/sec

Steam's a bit better then that.
5x5x8
12.8 mats/sec
26k power

what happens to steam engines when they get hit?

>CLANG
If you lose pistons the remaining ones are forced to take up the load and if they are driven past 1800RPM they'll CLANG to pieces. If you lose boilers the piston's RPMs will drop and your engine power will decline. If the steam carrying pipes are damaged you'll lose pressure (and thus piston RPM's) until you basically have no engine power.

The boilers don't explode when hit?

>expecting nick to not be lazy
Also
>steam engines
>reciprocating instead of turbine

What did you expect?

For nick to have something make sense?

Nope, not even an expanding cloud of steam. Pipes will shoot out a continuous jet of steam when severed but there are no explosions to be had.
Is that a boiler or an ammo rack detonating there?

Just the boiler. It'd be black and sooty if it were the cordite going off.

The Space Engineers wipe pissed me off.
What game to play next?

Continue playing spemgos.
It is only way, user.

Damn that's actually pretty impressive. On the surface one wouldn't believe that compressed steam expanding could cause a mostly steel warship to warp and bow and twist so dramatically.

youtube.com/watch?v=w34fSnJNP-4

>tfw no interspacewar period

Only if you're ignorant to the power of steam and the operating pressure of a warship's powerplant. Everyone else recognizes they are mini-nukes.

My mother used to bitch about it all the time, being an inspector of high pressure vessels in the oil industry. She's seen entire shops and plans nearly leveled by a single boiler going nuclear.

My eyes are opened to the true power of CLANG.

SPENGIES STEAM ENGINES WHEN?

youtube.com/watch?v=pEwxguHUi_U

Why tho? Spongo technology includes a roughly 2.5 meter square nuclear fission reactor that can run without irradiating everything else around it and gravity manipulation technology.

>a timer is larger than a fridge

FISSION STEAM
WE COLD WAR REACTORS NOW BOYS

Steam aint nothin to fuck with user. On Mythbusters they blew up a common hotwater heater thats found in EVERYONES home.

They took off/welded shut the safety release valve that would automatically bleed off excess pressure.

It takes off like a fucking bullet and blasts through the tiny hut they built over it to simulate it being in a house, and it flys skyward and doesnt hit the ground for like 15 seconds.

youtube.com/watch?v=9bU-I2ZiML0

And this is just a small household water heater. Imagine a boiler the size of a small house going critical. Its why you see those accident sin the news once in a while at places like mills and other such companies where an entire plant is leveled and everyone inside the building is killed.

I was about to ask why they don't use this in rockets.
Then i realized rockets are just giant fucking boilers with aim for control and going to space

half life 3 gets delayed another year

>Small gunbote cruising easily in choppy seas

Hydrofoils are your friend

If there's no white foam on top of the waves, then the sea is can be considered calm.
I know, I know. It's a fucking game.

what game is this?
is it free?

...

From the Depths

not free

>first answer gets me a meme image i've been looking for for ages after deleting a folder with it in
>second answer gives me the actual answer
based /egg/ always under promising and over delivering

m8
c'mon

i didn't know i was missing it or wanting it until i saw it
its like when $5 falls out of your pocket in your driveway when you walk out the door and when you go home you find it out front and you're like "neat i found $5" then you go to put it back and you realise it's your original one.

This
I can't search for the image that's a transparent/Yotsuba B background stick man with a deadpan expression and arms outstretched to the right, used when proposing something.

I could have found that in two seconds.

youtube.com/watch?v=e4y802_Ot-k

The SJW craze happened. Renard went tranny and it all went to shit. I'd say Rotteen is still at least partially good, but he really has declined.

You sure showed them.

Starmade NPC Faction update is out

>star-made.org/news/starmade-v0-199-349-npc-faction-update

Maybe it has actual game now.

>no npc crew
Dropped.

Sauce?

Anyone here playing Astroneer?
I found this antena next to a crashed booster but can't find any use for it, can't research it either but it still fits into foundation and vehicle slots.

Take the habitat off that shuttle immediately.
!!FUN!! happens otherwise

...

That looks fun.
I don't have that wide base yet, I figured I might need habitat if I gonna use shuttle to establish a new base someplace else.

You can use the ship itself as a base. There is no need for a habitat, one which, when you save and play again, will automatically root down and make a fucking mess.

At least he was courteous enough to be indicating right as he changed lanes.

Driver definitely wasn't Asian.

Hit a dead end with the cruise missile. It's apparently impossible to turn it in any controlled manner. The problem seems to be with the game itself since the missile works in slow mo but not in real time.

I tried to build one after you, I ragequit in the end because of the games horrendous PID control

>Astroneer discovers method to vacuum up clouds

I didn't realise that the coating had come off, no wonder it was so hard to solder with.

Am I a retard?

The idea that eventually to trade with others we will have to send our own trade envoy has me very erect.

>people will just missile spam your trade frieghters to death and steal cargo, or build cheap disposable stations covered in turrets in the middle of your trade routes to kill your AI trade ships

The problem with this one isn't PIDs it's that the ai can't steer the missile using complex controller commands.

This is a friendly reminder that astroneer isn't an /egg/ game

With that being said, i don't really mind it being posted here because in the end you'll help other people realize how empty and shallow the game is

Can you be any more mad that someone else is playing a game you don't like in your general virtual vicinity?

how is your roll rock steady? I just couldn't get mine to do that. When I tried using PID and roll control, it would eventually stabilise then go full spastic as one of the variables hits a singularity (no demand) and throws it sideways into the sea.

The roll pid is on default settings. it had a roll problem when I tried a bad combination of ailerons and jet stabilizers.

Did i say i don't like the game?

I like the game in the same way i like elite dangerous. It's pretty to look at and fun for a while but in the end it's Just Another Grind.

>windows smaller than 2.5m x 2.5m are a lost art

Does anyone has a working Reactor blueprint for Factorio? Or any useful blueprint.

Just take a file and remove the rust then recoat.

Are you using the navel AI? Because fuck the plane one.

recoat with what?

solder nigger. It's made of solid metal, just file it if it's blunt, dirty, corroded, dirty etc. Or buy a new tip which usually is cheap. Also go to it's slow but a very good board even after 2016 when /pol/fags ruined everything.

Hold onto your balls there's been a breakthrough. It needed more weight in the front like an arrow.

jesus christ that literally took days. At least it's pretty fucking sweet now.

I would like a copy of this.

>mad that someone is playing a game you don't like
No you retard, generals get deleted for shit like this, fuck off, stop shilling your piece of shit in these threads.

>tfw no pop-up headlight blocks
>tfw no vanilla small glass
>tfw no reasonably sized wheels
why must keen shit on muh 'stetics

Hi /gtag/

>Factorio
>Reactor

I assume he means gotlag's reactor mod, or something.

The Reactor mod by GotLag. I'm a retard when it comes to circuit stuff and I was hoping another user has already figured it out.

This thread is so dead that it hurts.

skubmade crew update when

Well, its definitely /svgg/ and if devs don't run with the shekels they will be adding some logic/automation stuff as well.

please go and stay go

it's about as much /svgg/ as subnautica or rust or fucking no man's sky

/svgg/ is
>space
>voxel
>games
>general
Starmade is /svgg/
Spengies is /svgg/
Empyrion is /svgg/
Avorion is /svgg/
Astroneer is like osirus, or rust, or subnaughtica.
Fun, but not /egg/, at all.
