Stream where?

Is this weak bait? You're on fucking Veeky Forums. A copy of japans most popular image board.

Have you noticed anything about all the banners and adverts here? A certain theme? You're in weeb territory either deal with it or kill yourself. just fuck off and stop whining.

Another /egg/ thread off to a great start!

youtube.com/watch?list=PLhoXNQqrCmEfAaTf0AfQ1Ztxmz2DoZiCk&v=Rb37-daSLQ4

Explain to me why gearblocks is a bad idea

Also, a reminder that while rockets are /egg/, the unmentionable is not /egg/.

dont let that one angry guy bother you, we're all the friends you need!

400$ for 4 guns, pretty good in my opinon

>rockets are /egg/
>/egg/ never watched rocket launches while /kspg/ was around

keep telling yourself that, /egg/cuck

so you're being sarcastic here as far as i can tell.
You're saying that rockets are not egg, but then you say that egg watched rocket launches while kspg was around?
explain please your post makes no sense

Obviously one ban wasn't enough for that retard. Stop taking his bait and report him.

That service ceiling is a tad low, you'll run into floating islands

this thread is why i'm up here all alone :'(

Post the rest of the ship/station.

Is there a way to get the experimental releases of Factorio besides having Steam?

...

'scuse me sir, what is dis?

By not having steam do you mean you bought it from the site, or you're a piratefag?
There's probably a link to beta builds somewhere.

airships:conquer the skies

Bought it from the site, there's box in the options menu to allow experimental releases, but I can't get it to do anything. Asking for updates only brings up 14.22

>airships:conquer the skies

Damn I was hoping it was indie free to play.

I'm not actually sure if there even is a beta branch right now.

>free to play
But there is. Link in the last thread.

That's no good, I know on the blog they've talked about people finding bugs in the 0.15 beta, so they're giving it out to someone.

The station is under construction
Large ship below is in beta testing

That airships game is distracting me from vital Algodoo R&D

Shit's fun.

Evidently not to the public, else there'd be factorioposting galore.

Are these .gifs working for everyone else or are they broken?

>Ringworld
>Open to space
Is that just gif compression messing with me, or is it supposed to use centrifugal force to keep an atmosphere?

Works on my PC :^)
No really they do though, must be you

Works on my computer :^)

Works for me.
You have a virus, shoot your computer before it's too late!

Fucking decepticons.

Whats the least autistic nuclear mods for Factorio?

>centrifugal force to keep an atmosphere
Oh hold on. Yeah it seems like it, unless some magical electo-magnetic gravitrons are in play there. A quick visit to the Halopedia told me that Halo's also use centripetal force. One would have to assume that while the majority of the gas would stay inside the ring, some would inadvertently escape due to some particles just going to fast, I think.
It's probably a long shot, however, can anyone with any knowledge of fluid mechanics please explain if an atmosphere could be kept using centripetal force alone without any leakage?

Uranium power.

Atmospheric depletion is a natural phenomenon, but it usually happens mostly just to lighter particles on Earth. The absolute majority of all atmospheric hydrogen gets swept away by solar radiation. At that scale, and seeing as the air is getting compressed into the curved side walls, it would be kind of hard to maintain a proper pressure. Given the atmospheric pressure gradient on Earth, it would either have to spin at a considerably higher speed than 1G, use magnetic or electrostatic forces to keep the atmosphere grounded, or constantly replenish it, as a significant portion of the "stratosphere" would be up above the actual walls, and therefore at a risk of just "sliding out" along the exterior of the walls.

TL;DR: The atmosphere would slowly flow out the top of the walls and out the sides.

>systems?
here's some...i like the interior although the ship is trying to be too many things...i liek it tho.

Is that a motherfucking space pergola

kek

if i remember correctly, the halos use both centrifugal force and a little space magic for gravity and atmosphere

>is it?

Jesus christ that airships game is no fucking joke.

>Spying on City, don't see any defenses

>Get there they've got a pair of fuck you explosive Ballista armored units that completely destroy my ass.

Always expect some weird fuckery. That's why i like the game

I am so bad

>Two Harbingers, figure the vanilla prebuilts can't be that bad
>They run out of ammo & coal before getting to the main defensive structures

I gotta go git gud with my ship & landship designs

Still workin' on it

Imainge if this was functional

nice

You should probably reduce the profile of that turret, or if you can't bring it down closer to the body, lower the turret ring all the way down until it touches the hull. That way you'll have two layers of armor and an air gap between any incoming shell and your turret's vital components.

Don't worry, we all make mistakes.
I once learned that my megabombers had only a tiny hallway linking the front and the back of the ship. Surrounded by pressurized suspendium tanks.
In the end, i used those bombers as colony drop bombing

It reminds me of Kane's exosuit/Dreadnaught coffin in Robocop

>Slower than an AFV
>Less armor than an AFV
>More maintenance than an AFV
>Less ammo capacity than an AFV
>Less range than probably anything on wheels
>Can be destroyed with man portable weapons.

What applications would this ever have?

Superheavy infantry/embedded heavy weapons support. It's not a vehicle so don't compare it to one.

To look cool.

>>Can be destroyed with man portable weapons.
Name one weapons system that this isn't true of. Anything under 20,000ft can be killed with something that can be carried by one man.

Thanks m8

The turret placement is only temporary, I built it separately from the hull and prefab'd it on afterwards to see how it looked. I might lower it down by one block once I'm done messing with it
The gun mechanism itself is actually fully contained in the turret housing, which will be protected by more angled shields

Maybe in mountains or narrow places with a lot of high cover.

What's the most effective ammo type for Advanced cannons in FtD? I'm thinking 152mm Shaped charges for anti naval and 23mm Sabots for AA

>i used those bombers as colony drop bombing
Going full Zeon on their ass, huh?

If you have the technology to create functional walking war machines, that technology can be applied to powered armor or already existing vehicles which would allow them to fill those roles.
Then it would be better for your unit to not be a target that is not only much taller than an average wheeled vehicle or soldier but also much slower than the vehicle.
Utility is aesthetic, a beautiful but shitty piece of hardware isn't going to be beautiful after being riddled with bullets or blasted into chunks by an AAGW.

>Nuclear-powered walking arsenal with the brain of a drug-addled megalomaniac
Mistakes were made

500mm Frag set with a cone of 0 degrees for "fuck you and your shield, armor, and anyone behind you", and yeah, 23mm Sabots for AA

Gotta get rid of maintenance fees somehow :^)

By that logic, infantry is useless.
Not to mention that your sens of scale is completely off. Not only is that thing not taller than a HMMWV or Stryker (even WITHOUT the turret), the footprint is much narrower. In urban fighting that thing would be plenty useful, moreso than a lumbering humvee or pigfat MGS that carries a single fifty or AGL at most. In open/semi-open terrain, that thing would provide quite a bit of firepower to an infantry platoon.

You're still comparing it to a vehicle, by the way. Vehicles are fuckhuge.

rate mein tank
also i have no idea what color to paint it

>and give it the job of a cop
Sounds allright to me.

It's still pretty fucking tall and I'm not sure about the thickness of it's armor but I'll wager that any modern AMR would punch a hole plenty deep enough to reach vital components. The size (and concordant capacity for carrying heavier weaponry) would make it a priority target if I had to fight it. I'm not convinced that the maintenance+fuel+lack of protection+size costs are balanced by the benefits of carrying heavier weapons.

>And retain it's ability to experience a drug high, if not turn it up to fucking 11 with a high dose delivery system.

I'm pretty sure I remember that motherfucker taking Nuke doses in like the half gallon/Litre size

>It's still pretty fucking tall and I'm not sure about the thickness of it's armor but I'll wager that any modern AMR would punch a hole plenty deep enough to reach vital components.
You won't be fighting against AMRs. They are hardly ever issued. Your primary threat is short range rocket and grenade launchers, which can be defeated with compact ADS. The primary role of this thing would be defeating light vehicles, removing light cover and defeating threats taking cover in buildings.

So I finally got something that actually fucking works, I wish their Service Altitude was great But it works a damn sight better then anything I've made so far.

Want my advice? Replace wooden armor for iron plating, it weighs less and is able to withstand more or less the same, for the same price.

>0 degree cone

OHFUCK.jpeg

I don't have Iron, I just started out, I've got access to Steel tho, I got rid of the Keel and freed up an absurd amount of tonnage for Lift even with steel armor along the bottom portions of the ship, and across the entire Ventral gun housing.

>No "gay sex with HATS ON" tab

>No Boffers tier autocannon AA for those fucking Dragons.

Fuck those things.

mods my boi

I meant steel

You can always go full insane mode and use saws to chop it down
