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

Slightly Dangerous Edition
Previous jej: 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 physicians:
>gitgud.io/nixx/WebMConverter.git

>Chode - Children of Ded Earf
>Empyrion - Galactic Survival
>Factorio
>From the Depths

Not even that guy but this one seriously gets me

Isn't GO one of those games where computers have problems though?

Stop now

That was the meme. Probably only due to efforts in that area being concentrated on chess.

AFAIK those kinds of AIs still aren't really AI's at all they just have a database of every move made by every master in every scenario and can make educated guess on what the best move would be.

See Ivan, when you are of little drunk and copter slightly angled, it seem of straight and tall

There's something really comfy about picking through graveyards and battlefields like a vulture in Abortion. Anyone else know this feel?

I knew that feel

I always found scavenging in the clouds of debris rather soothing.

What of those do you need to do for quantum physics?
I know there are hamiltonians and lagrangians but are they types of equations or just advanced models for making calculations?
for all I know everything in physics which isn't basic pemdas is calculus

>What of those do you need to do for quantum physics?
Lots of LSD

I'm so happy ghost raptor has never actually been useful ever. The driver is such a faggot.

Why haven't more people used nets against spinners? Those seem to be the meta and a sufficiently strong net might be their weakness.

It's against the rules
The guys with the present box got in trouble for that after the match

>just LSD

What's the best way of clearing out Biter nests endgame in Factorio? I've just been running in with my tank and uranium ammo and clearing them out, but it's annoying to have to repair my tank afterwards every time

I'm not familiar with the rules of these games, but what about a tough singular rope or metallic chain?

Real scientists live on a diet rich in amphetamine derivates and caffeine.

>but it's annoying to have to repair my tank afterwards every time
Use a modular armor with personal roboports, then carry construction bots and repair packs with you in the field.

Mini tanks with a .308 welded on it.

is space engineers worth it anymore?

did they ever make medieval engineers acceptable?

Come on, this is KEEN we're talking about.

So much potential wasted

you little shit
I WAS RIGHT

>we will never be the government again

Who is Mister Ouchi?

Those of you that are up to date with Starmade, is the game unfucked yet?

Did they reduce all armors down to one type yet like thye said they would? So I can just make cubes, and then when i place them down I can pick whatever shape I want, instead of having to manufacture each and every goddamn shape for every color?

Is there a spray painting tool yet in the ship builder so I can just float around my ship painting it with different XYZ settings, again, instead of having to make bricks in every shape in color, and put them down manually?

Did they add that new energy system they talked about, which will force everyone to trash all their current ships?

Are NPC crews in yet?

If he was a christian he'd probably be considered a martyrdom saint

>Did they reduce all armors down to one type yet like they said they would?
There are still hull, st.armor and ad.armor.
>So I can just make cubes, and then when i place them down I can pick whatever shape I want, instead of having to manufacture each and every goddamn shape for every color?
Da, Schema unified all shapes into basic cubes. Not sure about colors though. Probably still have to produce them separately.
>Did they add that new energy system they talked about, which will force everyone to trash all their current ships?
Nyet. Have """""fun""""" with the old system.
>NPC crews
I'm wondering which will happen sooner: DE releasing Umbra frames in Cuckframe or Schema releasing the crew update. To my own surprise I'm leaning to the former.

Would you like a medal?

that'd be pretty nice yeah
but I'd already be happy enough if people would listen and stop making premature threads when we can squeeze them out for a bit longer

I just wanted to make sure the OP was made correctly, and the way to do that is to do it myself when I can. Nobody's going to sneak Kerbshit into it on my watch

I was thinking of something like that. Creative Spengies server.

People are more willing to partake in space battles and less time players do tedious tasks like mining.

Radiation is fuckin' scary but also fuckin' neato

>your body slowly liquifies as you can no longer synthesize proteins to repair cellular damage
What a horrible way to go.

Quick /egg/, give me your essential Factorio mod list.

are beacons/modules worth it for furnaces on deathworld?

Here you go

essential quality of life:
bottleneck - locate input/output starved machines
even distribution - makes early game coal/ammo loading way simpler
long reach - don't need to constantly run around as much
squeak through - you can walk through solar fields/oil refineries without wanting to kill yourself
tree collision - ditto, but with walking through forests
upgrade planner - helps turn shit belts into better belts without wanting to stomp on your dick while wearing cleats
vehicle snap - drive along train tracks without slowly drifting towards/away from it

for slightly more gameplay altering:
RSO - resources (and biters) are scarcer, but more rich. makes trains a lot more necessary, in a good way.
RadarPlus or BigBrother - radars are designed for vanilla ore/biter gen, this increases radar range by quite a bit allowing you to better find new ore patches
Rampant AI - biters are a lot more intelligent in their attack patterns
fat controller - kind of mainly QoL but best used in conjunction with RSO, since trains are important. allows you to set an alert if a train gets stuck/deadlocked at a rail signal.

cosmetic:
better icons - makes some things look better, somethings look kinda worse though

laser beam turrets - makes laser turrets shoot a continuous beam, instead of "bolts" of light

pseudosadomasochism tier:
Bob's mods, angel's mods


there's probably more just look around

Essential?
>Squeak Through
>Long Reach

Wouldn't play without? (Utility Mods)
>RSO
>GDIW
>Evogui
>Alien Biomes
>Waterfix
>LoaderRedux
>Autofill
>Bottleneck
>Flow Control
>Orphan Finder
>Pipe Manager
>Reverse Factory
>Warehousing

Haven't fucked with mods much yet, just checked a few out, but it looks like the Bottleneck mod is a good quality-of-life change. RSO is often recommended; it changes resource spawning to not use shitty Perlin noise. Alien Biomes adds a lot of new terrain. I think there's also a "Creative Mode" mod that adds a bunch of nice features for just designing shit. If you want extreme autism there's the classic Bob's + Angel mods; I haven't tried either. Quite a few mods change bug AI; I hear good things about "Rampant AI".

You mean with the increased material costs? Can't speak from authority but it seems like it would be a good idea for steel. However you'd probably want to hit your science production first, since you need more science packs AND they are more expensive. I've seen some attempts at calculating the "payback time" for fully module'ing every possible product, but I've never seen the math done for Marathon recipe costs.

Googling for "nuclear ouchi" reveals:

unbelievable-facts.com/2016/12/hisashi-ouchi.html

Bottleneck and some of these sound a bit too cheaty for my taste, but thanks for the list, I am looking at those.

Ouch

TFW the blue flash may well come from Cherenkov radiation generated in your eyeball

Bottleneck just puts a circle on everything to tell you what's doing what, it's like the overlay in Production Line if you've played it. What others seem cheaty?

I wouldn't consider bottleneck cheating. It just allows a slightly more intuitive way of observing the function (or rather, the disfunction) of your machines

By the way that isn't a picture of him, it's just a random burn victim. That guy is missing a leg and no logs indicate Ouchi ever lost one. Still brutal as fuck and I wonder what happened to that guy though.

C-could one of you upload your modlist for poorfags like me please?

My modlist is more than just that, anything else you want?

The Los Alamos demon core incident is weird though, I though Pu 238 did not have a criticial mass (i.e. you need a neutron source to kick off the chain reaction). I suppose their Pu was dirty and contained remainder of Uranium?

Buy the game.

Those all look really neat. Really glad to see you have the AAI vehicles, those looked pretty cool.

Is starmade in its current state worth the 15 dollars?

Yo, are there still any good Space Enginerd servers left?

I honestly don't think so unless they added proper music and sound effects by now.

>After being treated for a week, Ouchi managed to say, “I can’t take it any more… I am not a guinea pig”. However, the doctors kept treating him and taking measures to keep him alive, which only ensured a very slow and very painful death.

I remember reading something that Ouchi said to ignore his protests and keep studying him regardless before he deteriorated

Thank you much user-kun
I'd like to try all of those if you can.

Nihon a hardcore

Well, apparently it does have one.
Do not stack at home.

Alright, here you go. I really, really recommend looking up some of these before starting. If you jump in with all of it enabled it will absolutely overwhelm you

Plebs, all of you.

nice timing, green sleeves

This book about his ordeal is good, strongly recommend.

store.steampowered.com/app/578800/Phantom/ Could this be another /egg/? Seems so with the building system that lets you build vehicles and shit. Not sure just how early access hell it is though.
