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

big ship edition
previous ded: The thread is dedicated to all games about building machines and systems out of blocks, in space or otherwise. Also, all these games are ded. Only ded games may join, otherwise they must have their own thread.
Whether or not a game belongs in /egg/ is a case by case matter, however games that would belong in /svgg/, space voxel games general, are automatically considered /egg/

WebM for retards:
>gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter.git

List of currently known and vaguely not dead /egg/ games (this list is not fully inclusive and if you think a game might belong here, feel free to ask):
>Algodoo
>Avorion
>Besiege
>Chode - Children of Ded Earf
>Empyrion - Galactic Survival
>Factorio
>From the Depths
>Homebrew - Vehicle Sandbox
>Infinifactory

>KOHCTPYKTOP: Engineer of the People
>Machinecraft
>REM
>Robocraft
>Robot Arena 2
>Scrap Mechanic
>SHENZEN I/O
>Space Engineers
>SpaceChem
>StarMade

Games that are definitely not /egg/:
>Minecraft
>The general that quite literally cannot be named. The Mexican scam artist one. With the shitposters. Fuck off.
>Hearthstone, found in the hearthstone general, /hsg/, not in this general.

First for Rangeban All Kerbniggers IPs

2th Space is neat

third for only you can fight the green menace

4th for spess is big

4th for Avorion hotfix pls

Fuck

Fucking Avorion... I'm spending way too much time on it. Even in the state as it is now kinda rough on the edges and laggy as fuck.

Threadly reminder to exercise regularly and keep your body in proper shape.

xth for Avorion can't into scale

> keep your body in proper shape
A sphere is a proper shape, right?

Remember that time we almost became the government?

We WERE the government. Only Keencode stopped full deployment of subjugation patrols.

...

Are those glow panels around your engines? Looks great, anyway.

...

>Putting a guy named Luigi as resources management
He'll just keep grabbing rocks and tell you to imagine something else

I think those were tiny but very long engines actually.

They are just engines, no glow panels anywhere on the ship, they burn my eyes.

Are there more than two turret sizes?

Haven't seen any turret sizes other than 0.5 and 0.3
I guess "its a beta" that's why.

...

Is abortion memes? I don't want to invest thousands of aspie hours into a scam game.

pirate it

What part of pirate before buy for everything do you not understand?

It's like X3 but good.

Well that's fucking wild

By scam game I mean is this going to be abandoned by the developers after they reach a certain funding goal like what happened to a certain game that cannot be named? I can't seem find a whole lot of information about them online.

How the fuck are we supposed to look into the future user? Are you really this fucking retarded?

It's one dude making his dream game on a proto-potatoe.
Indie game devs become kikes all the time, so no fucking clue if he'd run off.
Not that it actually matters.

its just another "dude goes and makes his procedural meme game on his own" story except this time the game is actually pretty fun

there is a demo, although it is ages behind the release version

>what are extrapolation and linear regressions?
>what are predictive algorithms?
>what are 99% of what the Big Data stuff is all about?
>what are the methods used by police and intelligence agencies to predict the probability of a possible even happening?

It's not too hard to make a instinctual judgement call about the future of an indie game. Are you really fucking retarded enough to believe in literally telling the future, user?

Just look at the fireworks and jack off user, i'ts not that hard.

Just play the damned game, you're obviously autistic enough.

He's been responding personally to bug reports/help requests, and putting out beta branch patches quite often so far. It's mostly just him and a bit of one other person helping dev, and he's seemed quite busy on it.

Who the fuck knows if he'll abandon it at some point, but it seems like it's his labor of love.

mikko left us
schema stood up and kept at it, but with nothing to really show for it
freejam strayed from their vision in the name of profit
keen fucked up from the get go
nick looked promising, but ultimately fell prey to his ego
AUTHOR has some obscure idea of what machinecraft could be that nobody is able to predict
zachtronics games are finished games

these are all different stories with different outcomes. how the fuck are you supposed to derive the most likely scenario for koonschi from these past experiences?

>It's not too hard to make a instinctual judgement call

Yeah, that's what I thought too when I preordered Rome 2 Total war collector's edition.

Didn't Mikko Pulkki just disappeard into the thin air? Yea hell yea he did. He's probably dead. It was ages ago but I remember it. Corneroids was pretty damn fun for what it was back then.

Your instinct should always be that you'll be fucked in the ass.
It is impossible to predict when, how hard, and what position.

nth for tanks

No Idea about the future of Abortion.
But it seems the dev is not incompetent.

Another one bites the dust.

>will development continue in the future?
This concern seems so foreign to me, that I can only help but wonder what other impacts your decision on whether to buy or not.
Regarding early access, I assume development stops the moment I buy the game.
What it means is that I will not purchase a game, unless I find that the current product is worth the current price.
If my assumption turns out to be true, then I will still have gotten what I consider to be my money's worth.

Considering that most titles will maintain their price and offer no reward for buying in early, I see no reason to purchase before aforementioned point.
Why is it important to you that the game has improved after half a year? Realistically speaking, will you even play the game in half a year?
Note that half a year is an arbitrarily picked period of time.

A lot of the reason I'll play a game is for the community. I don't play a lot of video games these days, so it'd be nice to know I wouldn't be investing my time in a game that's going to be abandoned at some relatively near point in the future. For some reason, a game just seems a lot less fun when I know that other people aren't playing it alongside me.

Good, let the game crash and burn.

>mfw I forgot to tighten back the backplate on my CPU
>hits 99 degrees and BSOD if I did anything
>hits 70 degrees just in desktop

good thing it's winter, I just open the windows and it helps cool it back down

If it helps at all, the people I've met so far have been good. One dude I had just met helped me try to debug my shit for like 4 hours.

That's nothing. I forgot the thermal paste the first time.

I forgot to connect the cooler once on a AM3+

What in the absolute fuck is the point of the whole water/slurry/sludge processing in Factorio with Angel ores?

Autism

Stalinium armor right there.

Do trading posts refill their stock?
All I need is a god damn neutron accelerator but no trade posts ever have it, even if some do its always out of stock.

These nuts refill

Why do developers make the mistake of making a game 32 bit when it has mod support?

Because muh backward compatiboloty, muh Mac , muh linux.

So that's why my CPU fries in big battles?
Constantly recalculating shades when 10+ ships are blowing each other apart?

How can you rangeban only people who play KSP?

Why is KSP banned again? Sure they have an awful fanbase, but so does undertale and undertale still gets a general.

I don't know, but you can turn AO off in the video settings. Maybe worth a try.

The kerbniggers who spam this place, not anybody who likes ksp.
They made a shitposting singularity and posted a bunch of illegal shit like bestiality porn.

The devs are jews who complain to gook moot

Because they actively buttfucked the board.

Undertale General doesn't post zoophilia
At least, as far as I know

After 40 minutes, nothing changed, other than a shitload more wrecks because this sector is a shitter hotspot sieged by pirates, xsotan and the rowdy neighbors.

That's not a rangeban though

Holy shit I'm not lagging anymore!
Holy shit I can now hear the ingame music over my CPU fan!
The wonders of technology.

He was saying rangeban the kerbniggers who spam this place, because obviously it's impossible to tell who likes KSP unless they're being a kerbnigger about it.

Fuck off

>wheels with torsion bar suspension
If that shit worked as it should.

AMD CPU?

yes phenom II x2 550 I know I know

gas-powered piston marek stomper WHEN

you could make it in machinecraft

Why does nobody play junk league?
Looks fun, is there something wrong with it?

Aside from being barely /egg/, the few anons who tried it said it had serious issues.

Looks as egg as robocuck, except that you can't roll and there are only planes and they don't even fall down.
I miss robocraft.

Controls, physics, matchmaking and building are all trash and inconsolable. 0/10, not worth playing.

They're not "planes" user, they're starmade tier boxes with just numbers for movement. Engine placement does not matter, aside from durability.


Early robokek was litterally the only egg game with combat/building/physics that wasn't fucked.

Had a 940 a while back. Replaced it with a AMD 9370 overclocked to 5.2 ghz

>tfw 6350 at 4.4
I will have a 6700K soon enough.

>6700K
I want one, but I don't want to replace my RAM and motherboard, because that moves the price several hundred dollars on the side of uncomfortable.

1150? or amd?
Stay there, there isnt that much of improvement to justify the buy.

AM3+ 9370 is what I got. Can't imagine an intel 4 core would be much of an upgrade for anything but gaming.

There is a slight difference in performance per core and maybe a little more in the overal, but still not worth it, wait for the price scramble when zen comes out, and then decide.

I was considering picking up a Zen hex core to get the compromise between single and multi core performance, but I'm not too interested in dealing with poo in loo's retarded nonsense much longer.

Maybe if its 200 dollars or less. Maybe.

I am building all new. Entire new rig.

Look what happened to videocards, jewvidya jumped desperate to saturate the market amd had with the 1060 and then the 1050ti after being sure that they wasnt a competitor for their high end cards but knowing the lastest gen isnt enough, so rebranded them, same could happen with intel, could be cpu's they had saved for the ocasion, or prices drop, you should take some time, and search for good deals on places that they want to sell stuff they had stored for long enough.

Absolute madman. I've been cannibalizing parts on my current build since 2009. Only original components left I think are some sata cables, some fans and one of five monitors.

Started with a AMD 5850, now I'm on a PNY 980. Paid about the same for each.

I know my man, I've been doing this for a while. Honestly, I just want a comparable upgrade from my old 7870 to my current 980 within the next three years. I haven't fallen for the VR or 4k meme, so I think I'll be good for a really long time.

He's got a job.

Unless you play spengos, or any other unoptimized piece of shit, with that FX and a 980 you have computer for now, maybe in the last days of the current 10xx gen if you stay on 1080p and 60fps.

>tfw spengos saw 2 gens of cpu-gpu coming and going, and its still on early access

Maybe thats the trick, wait untill computers are powerfull enought to not notice how bad optimized is.

>1080p and 60fps.
I'm actually going with 120fps, and most of the time I get there. Some setting tweaking is usually necessary, but very few times out of ten I'm lower than 60 on highest. Fun fact; its possible to interpolate video with svp and it looks fucking baller. Especially old animated films.

I started out using a pentium 4 with a 5500 then moved to the end-game 3.2ghz model with a 7300GT. I had an intermediate machine with a Phenom II X2 for a while and put a 650Ti in it but I quickly parted together a 6350 machine by salvaging half the build. I'm done with crap hardware, so now I'm going to build an all-new machine with a 6700K and a 1070. I already have the 1070 and it's wedged into that cheap mid-tower really tightly. The 6350 and 1070 are seeing 1080p 50-80FPS in everything but the 6700K should kick that clear of 120.

I only buy nvidia and I only buy EVGA ever since that 650, because they make the fastest marks of any Nvidia card. That 650Ti was made of goddamn steel and reinforced concrete too, durable as shit. I intend to spend about $1,200 on the total build and I'll be parting it together bit by bit.

If nvidea are kikes and AMD have gone full SJW what other option is there?

Does SLI actually work or is it shit?

>AMD have gone full sjw
I haven't heard about this.
I thought they were just irredeemably stupid and incompetent.

Granted, with that kind of mindset does come incompetence, so you can usually assume, but if there's a hard fuckup I'd like a laugh.

And there are no other options, welcome to judaism.
Be glad you have at least two.

According to the video they put out amd are staffed by fat green haired genderqueer snowflakes now so it checks out. I love my products being make by incompetent suicidal freaks. Yay diversity

I miss my Death Cube.

night bump

That's what happens when you appeal to the lowest common denominator. Expect more of this in the future.
