Thursday 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

Never. Radiation fucks up electronics too much

Am I missing something? I finally decided to try Crossout since I'ts been spammed here pretty heavily since the F2P stuff. I go to the steam store page and there is no option to install?

Nah m8, he drill pressed through a screw hole because he was being autistic. This minecraft kid is just retarded.
Michael Rodriguez
did you not read the thing someone posted last ded which involved making eternal batteries by making synthetic diamonds with a carbon 14 filling
Liam Rogers
Gaijin is being retarded just use their standalone launcher.

Carter Jenkins
Crossout is really disappointing, at least starting out. Zoom around in a shitty little machine gun buggy, while pricks with special weapons and strictly superior chassis and more parts rape me.
Guess it wouldn't be f2p garbage without forced imbalance, but it's pretty heinous with a 'builder' type of game.
Colton Scott
Give it twenty minutes and you won't be in an MG buggy anymore. Yes your first four or five games will be like pulling teeth but the grind isn't very long.
Lucas Moore

Equalizer or Spectres?

>dust is on >ever
Almost worse than the java stutter.
Jason Ramirez
>but it's pretty heinous with a 'builder' type of game. You realise if that wasn't there, there'd be even less incentive to advance and develop your tactics and build, right? There always needs to be the bigger bully bounding around, otherwise the player feels like they've hit the ceiling and stop playing. More importantly, they stop paying, and if they're not paying, they're still giving the impression the game has a lively user base, which brings in other paying customers.
It sucks, but there's basic cost of living, power, ethernet, licensing, tax and renting/cost of property. They really do need a healthy chunk of change to get by and recoup the losses of development, never mind profit.
No frustrated players > no paying players > no servers > no players > no crossout. Which might be for the best, really. I just want a simulation level single player madmax-esc game with building desu.
Isaac Ross
Forget it, friend. It's not coming back.

Equalizers if you want to waste resources, lose and feel bad about your decisions in life in general. Spectres if you want to actually win a match from time to time.
Kayden Robinson
Holy fuck user, did an equalizer touch you inappropriately?
Hudson Gray
Is mengies dead
Jonathan King
We can only hope. The community manager is even more fucking annoying than Xocliw, which is pretty impressive.
Ryan Fisher
Please look at this picture. Equalizers require mad amounts of radiators to deal almost as much damage as Spectres (without them, they overheat before the trait can kick in), and that only AFTER 7 seconds of nonstop firing. And once you overheat, whelp, enjoy your 7 seconds of LM-54 Chord damage again. Spectres fully stack in 4 seconds, and even without any stacks, they deal more damage than the Equalizer ever can. And on top of that you can use the vastly superior weapon coolers over those shitty radiators, I personally use 2 blue coolers and my weapons are overheated for barely a second and a half.
The Equalizer is just complete garbage, go into the factions tab, go to the Nomads and test drive the Archeologist vehicle. It has 3 Equalizers. If my shitposting doesn't convince you how garbage the Equalizer is, testing it out certainly will.
Carter Scott
the only thing that bothers me right now are these fucking howitzers.
Jaxon Ross
>Please look at this picture. Only because you asked nicely. My point was you could have just said "its shit" instead of attempting to give the poor user PTSD. Its okay. I believe you.
I don't play in the ps bracket where purples are relevant anyway. Not nearly as fun as min/maxing shitboxes.
Charles Reed
>bunch of dumb idiots running into eachother followed by some juggernaut with a cannon 1-shotting everyone
is this crossout all the time?
Adam King
Yes. Dual cannon builds will beat any other build pretty much every time.
Cooper Barnes
cannons aren't even that strong at higher PS

This is how you kill a game, and any chance of new players staying.
Nicholas Baker
Post low ps cuties
Josiah Parker
>machine gun drone
Those and the small machine gun turrets are OP as fuck.
You can shoot them down yes, but when some dude just zooms by, dumps off 2-4 turrets and drives away to hide and reload, they are stupidly strong. They also auto target your cab, drilling right through all your armor in perfect lines to kill your cab.
Jose Gomez
I have issues with the timing on them in low ps, since I only have the one, it lasts for 30 seconds, then fucks off for another 30 leaving me basically defenseless.

20 seconds of use, 20 seconds of reload. I have a stopwatch.

Ah thank you. Feels longer when you're being shot at.

Owen Rivera
>poor fucker is gonna get free wins out the ass
Joseph Edwards
The other team were all 5000 too Also winning is completely pointless in Crossout thanks to the retarded XP decisions. One of the biggest flaws of the game in my opinion.
Grayson Turner
>winning is completely pointless Aren't you tired? Wouldn't it be great to be free of all of this? Don't you want it all to end?
Jeremiah Perry
The biggest flaw is that they give you long range weaponry and fast cars, and then shove you into tiny maps with 3 min matches.
>no hyuge maps >no 5-8min matches >no racing across deserts at breakneck speeds popping your nitro to try and catch some faggot that captured your flag
Ayden Lewis
why is crossout so damn laggy at times when trying to turn? even with a starter vehicle i find me vehicle jerking around while turning even with low ping.
Levi Hall
>5-8 minute matches >xX69sl4vicf4gL0rD69Xx oneshots you with his double executioner he got sponsored by his daddy's credit card right at the start of the match >if you have shotguns or melee, you're obsolete great design
Gabriel Turner
All they need to do is multiply your earned XP by 1.5 if you win and 0.5 if you lose. Problem solved.
I'm fine with the scale and pace actually. The game is too casual and shallow for long range plinking to be fun.
Thomas Murphy
Blane dogfight when?
Lincoln Roberts
If you're getting one shotted you're a retard. The powerscore system works really great actually, and removes all P2W. It's easier to oneshot with double whites than purples.
Gavin Morgan
tl;dr -- mini factories are fun compared to the standard mainbus 1/second science mega thing.
Been experimenting with a mini factory in Factorio recently. It's basically a double-walled box that's remained the same size for the last 10-ish hours of play time, that's under my personal restrictions in order to make the game a bit more fun than the standard "lay down massive main bus, wonder why gold science takes fucking forever, spend ages moduling and beaconing and laying track and whatever else" experience.
The only logistics box allowed outside the core area is a requester chest that receives ores or fuel; roboports are allowed outside the box for construction and personal logistics requests only. Power generation and smelting happen outside the box, as does mining. Oil proc, coal liquefaction, etc. happen inside (and are a real bitch to route). No trains; instead I've been building little mini-forts around ore patches and belting stuff through them.
And it's glorious. I've easily reached the point where solar can provide about 85 MW and accumulators go for 6 GJ and top up every day; this is enough to defend against vanilla biters with mainly lasers even overnight. Funniest thing is, I'm close to launching a rocket while not having really played much more than in a mainbus campaign; but it's a lot more fun than the endless bus-laying exercise.
Christian Robinson
Modular bases are fun. >Make a giant Storage Area, basically the few that uses Logistics Robots besides your outer wall for repairs >Trains ferrying goods to and from storage to your remote facilities for all the various goods you want >Science zone is just a giant field of Research Labs linked up with Inserters with inputs along the train-side edge of the field >Solar Panels and Accumulators in blueprinted arrangements along tracks
Isaiah Taylor
How retarded do you have to be to do this?
Nicholas Jenkins
i tried to beat the jewout market but i failed now im broke and hopeless i give up its impossible this game has defeated me
Jason Garcia
How can you fail at it? Use crossout db
Michael Butler
i bought the starter pack to get me a base amount of credits to jew with i swapped faction and bought all the components to make a powerful engine mk2 i did all the calculations and i would in the end earn me some money over the initial investment then i realized the purple workbench with nomads requires level 5 by the time i will reach level 5 rent the bench and make the item the price will have dropped so low i will barely make any credits i give up i really just wanna give up
Thomas Lewis
are you that user who bought all the scrap for >7?
