Why did I think this mod sounded like fun?

You're a masochist. What you probably actually want is something like hardcrafting.

>no WASD challenge

I'm not familiar with it, is that what you're doing? You should probably just attempt that on vanilla right?

>vanilla
>disable wsad and enter

it's possible

Of course it's possible, it actually sounds piss easy honestly since you can craft a belt immediately. Real men play bobs+angels marathon with no handcrafting

you can, but then you have to use it for movement for all the game
it's just painful and tedious, not really that hard just like bobangel

I dunno, it sounds like challenge just for the sake of challenge. At least with bobangel you get tons more stuff to do. If you truly want masochism I suggest you look up some of the more troll mods like nuclear (giant) spitters or flammable oil. Wear and tear might be up your alley as well

See, this guy gets it. Let's call it the torquebox model or some such; internals determining the assembly characteristics of boxes (or whatnot), literally how much torque comes out on a bus-bar when conditions X, Y, Z are applied to wires/channels/fuel lines/whatever.

Expand on that and report back with any interesting failures.

Is he going to be okay?

Does that make sabotage 'rapid scheduled disassembly'?

I think it's a great idea. Have power plants and grenades made on a raw ore line, smelt in mixed arrays, filter by what various assembling machines require, put steel on a line of its own. It's like forced spaghetti where one of the belts is just ores.

That being said, filter inserters can be simulated with a reduced-density belt and a fast inserter triggered with a "exactly one of iron" condition. So the masochism is really just a matter of building a fuckhuge array of that.

Does the shape of the helmet remind you of anything?

is the terra tech thing any good? store.steampowered.com/app/285920/

Looks familiar...

No, but the capsule reminds me of a filthy Eldar

crosscuck was fun for maybe a week.
after about 3 i think ima uninstall.

Thanks famalamma. Guess Ill keep playing without you.

>That being said, filter inserters can be simulated with a reduced-density belt and a fast inserter triggered with a "exactly one of iron" condition
Or you could just use filter inserters.

So there's this giant enemy vehicle

Flip it and attack its fuel tanks for massive damage.

Frog blast the vent core

I can't captain! It's using some kind of cloaking device!

LOL that fashion statement isn't going to protect shit against the vacuum of space.

it's a flight suit if I recall

The perspective is shot to hell. Just look at that tiny tank next to those guys in the trench.

You haven't seen shit.

I'm dumb, other than radar return, what is the flaw of rounded shapes (or round turrets) in military vehicles? Mostly in the "getting shot at" department

What the hell were you expecting from those physicians?

These guys look like Corneroids

I knew the fucking parents were always the problem in education.

>good naturedly go after the spengie if the CLANG is weak

can somebody do this with the new safe-space skin?

you know

"Half armor" probably being undeformable like any modded block. Nearest grid based calculations will open a new world of failure. I wonder why the 60% off suddenly.
If I play this it will only be for the skins really.

>the title of the issue
Still angered every time I witness the volatile incorporeal force being mentioned elsewhere.

I think that specific ocurrence was fixed.

Didn't know he was Mexican.
I feel dumber now that i know.

Booting up Spengos for the first time in a while. How do those skin crates work? The update video said they're gonna be double drop rate on skins, so I figured I'd get in on it. What's the best way to get them? Do they show up no matter your world settings, or what?

Do we have someone in the IRC?

For those who do not know of this skin yet.

Crates spawn in survival, about 4km away from you either on space or a planet. They have at least a small reactor, a parachute, a small cargo container and a button that shows on your HUD and coordinates.
Get there before the 15 minute countdown and press the button to roll for a skin. The skin gets sent to your steam inventory. After like a minute or two another one will spawn.

The cargo container has some parts and maybe an upgraded tool, which allows for naked survival start on a planet. The reactor has uranium that you can consume for space start since exiting the starting gravitational pull strains the fuel reserves. The parachute if not spent is worth quite a bit of silicon. Grinding the whole thing yields useful components.

What should we bitch about first?

>What should we bitch about first?
solid water

no compound blocks
no micro blocks
no good wheels
no analog controller support

Untill a month ago they couldn't fucking simulate STATIC ROCK without simspeed drops, turning water liquid would freeze your PC forever.

please freeze me until spengi is perfect

components being tedious unnecessary "muh realism xd" shit
same with cargo sizes really. large large is almost infinite, small small can't hold fucking shit.
needing every kind of resource to build anything but not having more than 2-3 tops available per rock
ridiculous low density of rocks
shitty battery nerf
dogs. again.
inconsistent ore refining times grinding production to a halt
programmable block being an excuse for not having better logic blocks
planet survival being shit
building in high G being shit
meteor harassment not being a good hazard
mining lag

I don't care to list anymore

Because of this.
Slopes offer greater effective thickness and better deflection properties.

As a personal test, first put your hand flat with the fingers forward and the palm pointing downward, then try thrusting your hand straight towards the hard cover or a book at 33 degrees and then try the same against a round surface, and see for yourself which one deflected it better.

I mean, it wouldnt take much to protect from accidental vacuum.
It isnt supposed to be an EVA suit after all, just a flight suit that can survive vacuum if something bad happens.

You can't build outside the start without mining the ore first. That's the point of the mod. Only miners can be placed on the ore, so you can only mine the area next to open ground as you can't place a belt on the ore.

more about spengies or more about crossout.

>components being tedious unnecessary "muh realism xd" shit
It's not even realistic.

I'd be fine with EITHER a ship simulator or Space Minecraft, but it isn't really anything right now.

>post about components
>start talking about thrusters and heat and shit
not even related

>inventory sizes aren't directly proportionate to how much space a cargo container takes
they actually are. the inventory values are taken directly from the volume of the corresponding block. which is the whole problem because it's just not balanced for gameplay. only the suit inventory is kinda arbitrary and I'd guess it's only 400 because any less and you wouldn't be able to play.

>orbital mechanics
wouldn't work.

what an autistic post user.

>wouldn't work.
nice citation

Essential Space Engineers mods? I like survival stuff in general, and decided it was time to get a legit version of the game since it's $10 right now.

the engine isn't designed for it and the game mechanics are not designed for it.

you'd have to remake the game from scratch, engine and all with orbital mechanics in mind. and it's really not that kind of game.

Pure vanilla flavored suffering

Has there ever been a method of FTL that involves dipping in to an alternate universe with different laws of physics and chemistry?
