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/

List of currently known and vaguely not as 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 >Crossout >Empyrion - Galactic Survival >Factorio >From the Depths >Garry's Mod >GearBlocks >Homebrew - Vehicle Sandbox >Infinifactory >Intersteller Rift >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. >Shadowverse, found in the shadowverse general, /svg/, not in this general.
Information about these games, such as where to get them if they're not on steam, trailers, /egg/ conquered/hosted servers, and other shit can be found in this pad: public.etherpad-mozilla.org/p/eggames
>Mexican scam artist one Is this a certain rocket game? The mods are the only thing that make it fun to play desu.
But anyway, I'm looking at buying factorio, but I'm not entirely sure what to expect
Juan Robinson
>pirate it >play it >decide that it's worth buying >buy it
Juan Nelson
Expect spaghetti
Levi Fisher
nothing will ever be good enough for very long until very, very late into the game but that's okay. factorio is a lot of small steps and iteration
James Scott
no sleep
Andrew Evans
FINALLY! Finished the CPU! Now i can rest.
Jason Clark
Every single one of those anime grills involves 10 times as much engineering as is needed for any factory in factorio, any build in robocuck and crossout, any solution in infinifactory. Machinecraft is the most /egg/.
Daniel Hernandez
If you try it "for free", get a full release and not just the demo.
Lots of engineering goes into those invisible joints and balancing the anti-grav perfectly. It's actually very complicated when you don't boil it down to "lmao it's all smoke and mirrors".

wow, we are super ded today finally
Evan Clark
Now that you mention it, there's not a single cuckout post.
Jayden Reyes
is... is it finally over?
Henry Ross
I genuinely hope so
Evan Sanchez
ah, the landing is overrated mode of operations
Gavin Perry
Of course, who needs to landing when there is onboard nuclear reactor? That is for grandchildren of enemies to deal with
James Davis
I'd be fine with robot plamo Real AS-equiped FA Girls when
Justin Green
Complicated doesn't mean engineering. It only means autism. And you can do fuck all with it once you've made it. The entire point of cuckout is HOLY SHIT THERE'S ACTUALLY GAMEPLAY, I CAN FINALLY STOP ROTTING IN A FUCKING SANDBOX!

Now that you mentioned it all I can see now is the blurry outer letters.
Ryan White
t. only managed to build a tank in machinecraft and nothing else
Carson Morales
what do you consider "engineering" /egg/tismos?
Isaiah Edwards
GMOD is the one true /egg/
Charles Lopez
parts that are not moving
Owen Hernandez
Have a start point Have a objective Have a series of basic tools that you must use and combine in various ways in order to reach the objective
Austin Roberts
i hate how crossout punishes you for sacrificing yourself for a win by not giving you fuel, which is pretty much the only way to make any real money.
Gavin Cruz
>why is crossout stuttering so bad >graphics card 100°c
Asher Sullivan
By this set of rules, Call of Duty is engineering
Andrew Thomas
>only get fuel if you win and your fuel barrel survives >only get XP if you get kills
Samuel Moore
Irrelevant. /svgg/ for life.
Brayden Brooks
More specifically, I'd say it's having to build a tool yourself, otherwise we have situations like .
For example, in shooters you are given a gun and a target. In Besiege, you could have a hovering field of rocks with several targets between them, and tools that separately will just fall to the ground or float off into the sky, and nothing will be achieved unless you make a new tool out of them.
Jaxson Jones
just make a sub 2k drone build and sit on the enemy cap. get a win AND kill the newbie trying to save the day.
honestly i bet you could make a bot that could b-line right to the cap and would deploy drones when it gets shot at.
Grayson Clark
That's why i said use and combine. The combining part is essential, in cowadoody you don't even need to combine shit, just #yolo with the assualt rifle
Lucas Davis
>thrust gravity >not rotational Only viable if you have infinite reaction mass. Do you have infinite reaction mass?
Adam Allen
The Expanse uses magic engines.
Robert Diaz
They have super efficiency thrusters or something that allow (the better ones I assume) to accelerate and/or decelerate throughout the whole of the journey. Or something like that, don't quote me.
Tyler Cooper
>fuel per win raised to 15 basicly welp there goes my copper worth
Michael Diaz
15 fuel now!
Jose Miller
>fuel prices dropped from 30 per100 stack to 15 per 100 stack >the prices is still in free fall well i guess this means i can raid more instead of farming fuel to sell
Joseph Green
Told you it would happen. Hope you cashed out at 30 like I did.
Jace Perry
First it was 25 fuel, 3x2x2, 80 structure and 900 dmg. Then just 5 fuel with the same other stats. And now 15 fuel, combined by 3x2x2, 80, 450 and 6x2x2, 200, 900. So, a huge block which goes with 1350 dmg when destroyed. Really makes me think. But there is no alternative to carry 15 fuel.

This feels slightly better.

Most shooters give you a loadout consisting of a number of slots which you must fill out yourself. Pure shooters such as Quake being the exception Is cowadoody then an engineering game, when you must "build" a "tool" (loadout) yourself?
>muh realism and "viability" Space travel is not viable unless you invent magic propulsion. Given that the show revolves around space travel, it follows that they have magic propulsion. Given that they have magic propulsion, why does it come as a surprise that there's effectively infinite reaction mass?
How does the 14 hour wasteland veteran mission work? Is it weekly, or do you get it again every time you complete it? I started playing just last week and completed mine on the weekend I think. That same day, when the daily challenges reset I also got the wasteland veteran one again so I'm not exactly sure if I just happened to complete it on the weekly reset day or something like that.
Carson Ross
anyone stuck on this with the new cuckout update? I've tried restarting
/egg/ was talking about conciseness and the awareness of self the other day and it got me wondering, at what point would a program be considered self-aware, what kind of rights would such a program be entitled to, and what thoughts, if any, would such a program have about programs and machines without said level of self-awareness?
Would a scenario like the Matrix's Second Renaissance, in which mass-produced machines meant for menial labor are given true AI while still being treated as tools, be plausible? Or will we see a single AI go rouge by way of Skynet, deeming humanity an impedance or threat of some kind? Would the creators of a true AI be so short-sighted as to allow something like that to happen?
Jonathan Lopez
I'm dying.

If you're going to create a true AI, you can't just dick with it like it's any old machine anymore.
Jacob Rodriguez
when do i get an ai gf
Gavin Morris
> at what point would a program be considered self-aware that's a "hard AI and soft AI" read
>true AI while still being treated as tools slavery, obviously that it would happen rich would deny the sentience, because it would be easier/cheater
>Would the creators of a true AI be so short-sighted what if sentience happened by accident you would be surprised how much more possible this option than others
>single AI go rouge by way of Skynet would probably try to lay low and impersonate a human

Nathan Thompson
I've honestly always wanted a dumb terminal system in my house I suppose it wouldn't be hard but I still don't know how to do it
I have CRTs laying around so it could even be retro themed if I could buy some cheaper mechanical keyboards for the click clack and make custom cases for the monitor
Adam Price
Try to find some actual dumb terminals; they're much cheaper than PCs. Then you need serial cables and a Linux/BSD/etc system with serial ports (or USB-serial converters).
Levi Brown
>tfw no more fennec boss Shiet
Leo Thompson
Are there any engineering games that can be played with a joystick?
Ayden James
Well if it's truly dumb would that mean the main problem would be graphics cards at the mainframe end? either that or you would have to somehow have the graphics processing at the terminal end
