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

Jim Henson's Factorio 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/

Why are they still relevant? Pic related

Game?

The windy valley mission in the ice area has such a small area to work with (that isn't being blasted with blizzards) that I don't even bother with a slingshot, I just pile some bombs behind the core and adjust the angle slightly

>no kessler bomb

its like you dont even warbros

Factorio is seriously addictive, it must be the autism. I sat down to a new factory and played for 8 hours, slept for 4, then got up and tore the whole thing down and redesign, playing for another 6. Now I'm seriously tempted to restart because my blue pack production is way too slow

?
why would you restart instead of just fucking building a couple more assemblers...

Me too

Chode any good? How does it compare to, say, from the depths?

>chode
Nah, even IRift is better
>How does it compare to, say, from the depths
At first glance you feel like you aren't so restricted when it comes to building, but once you get the hang of things, you will realize you are just as restricted

>IRift
What?
Link, google isn't being helpful (unless you maen fucking roblox)

Short for Interstellar Rift

How is the engineering?
Can i tweak my gunz, missiles and lazors in autistic detail? Chose how THICC i want my armor to be to the centimeter? Heat and radiators? Powerplant? Wether the engines are for long distance coasting or burn all the fuel like there is no tomorrow?

Why am I so bad at this game?

>Nah, even IRift is better
You're such a massive faggot here's some OC to commemorate your faggotry

That's more or less the standard fast solution

...

Muh sides

>Kadeeshian mothership
would probably saved us a lot of laugh if I just posted this
homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Kadeshi_Mothership

It was an excellent plot twist and they were annoyingly hard for first time encounters.

I wish they joined you in the game. Fucking up the Taiidan would have been easier.

...

Skywanderer
Hate his voice if you want, hate our ESL if you want, but you've got to admit he make creating artistic design look easy as hell.

I hate that there isn't a "demo"

IKTF too well

>no working elbows or knees
>mech just ice skates around with perfectly straight legs and arms
>no chance of it tipping over

Too bad the terrain has to be made of fucking blocks. Removes any chances for proper ground combat vehicles.

Not possible, the demo would be the current build and gamer are never satisfied unless they can test the release build.

Aegis jewfag here.

Just came to the stupidly obvious conclusion as to why 5 aegises with -20% cooldown aren't reaching 100% shield uptime.
Because they don't regenerate while active. Fuck.
With 10% bonus from co-driver and 20% cooldown from engine, 5 aegises provide 5*4.4 uptime and a cooldown of 24.4 each. Theoretically that gives 2.4 seconds of downtime, though it feels like an eternity.

Also just realized bigfoots are a great alternative to hovers for cheetah+aegis cheese. Really fucking tempted but that's just nowhere near as fun as driving around with a front-facing mandrake fusion bot.
But experimental results show that it's feasible to get the 20% reduction from cheetah engines four times with bigfoots in 10 seconds. I dare fucking say I could recharge a single shield in a solid 8 seconds or so, thus requiring a minimum of 3 aegis shields + 1 cheetah engine (10 energy investment) for 100% shield uptime, providing you keep moving.
Fuck being movingn 24/7 though.

...

People will play what they have
and /egg/ is used to eternal alpha/beta
we expect things to be shit so anything good happening can only be a pleasant surprise

"""demo""", official or not. Even better if it's the starmade way of making a demo.

>starmade way of making a demo
You mean the demo being the best version of the game before entering development hell for 5 years?

...

>o'neill cylinder
>aircraft takes off
>hovers in place as the station rotates
>lands when it's destination rotates below it
Would this work?

how well would it work?

what is point of reference?

Has anyone tried trailmaker?
Price is pretty high for an early access.

not well
it'd be better to just fly there

Considering the atmosphere would be rotating with the cylinder unless it;s only recently been completed, it would not really work.

This.

The Earth spins too, why does nobody do that here?

But what if it has wings

How would it hover, then? How would wings impact it's ability to hover in the same place? Are the wings then irrelevant.

Dude
Unless this craft is going through the centre axis where there is no 'gravity' or atmosphere, your idea is the same as an average flight.
And if it does this, it might as well be a reuseable rocket.

anyone remember that 2d topdown game with atmospheric simulation where you had to board enemy ships and shit?
you control several people

I don't know if it's been released or not, and I have no idea what it's called
only thing I remember is a screenshot

We kind of already do, except it's because of the Jet Stream.
but it does take less time flying east than west.

>aircraft
>hover
>efficient
pick two and only two

Heatsignature?
by the gunpoint devs

sono polizia

FTL?

>Heatsignature
no
god no

I remember it looking way more autistic than any of those games
and it's not ss13

not wtf, right?

what's wtf

what the fuck

Duskers? You control a squad of remote salvage drones, and everything's rendered as wireframes.
Although it only has "atmospheric simulation" in the sense that if you open an exterior door, things get blown out.

that wh40k game?

don't think it was 40k

I believe the artstyle was almost similar to barotrauma, but top down

are you the dev of wtf shilling his game again

Should I buy Avorion? I do really like space ships.

what is wtf

wonky titty faggots

willies that fugg

>amberlamps horn

in english this time

>misused meme
no, fuck you
don't want to help anymore

Wandering Tellus Fringe: Zot Flags

WHAT'S THE FUCKING GAME

Wonka's toblerone factory

worm tickling fetish

try looking at the initials, and then looking at the OP, and see which game matches.

is it good or is it bad?

Waterworld: Terra Firma

that's subjective

water the figs

wombat tidal formation

Winner Tinner Finner

if waterworld wasn't one of those dime a dozen kevin costner movies it might actually make a nice premise for a game
>whole world of water
>make bote or die
>old oil tankers and cargo ships become either floating towns or raider bases
>aircraft carriers become city-states with flotilla of escort and support vessels

Then there's the chaps who do diving work to salvage from the towns that used to be at high elevations

Enjoy your scurvy.

>not having orange farms in your hydroponics

...

>scientist

...

>lol dude hovers are so hard to use and require so much skill

is he really doing that
if yes thats pretty cool, they usally shill on reddit and ignore the chans

I g otta imagine that it is a dev, the game isn't finished enough to have actual people playing it & recommending it to others

if it had moddable parts i would play it
fucking around in some obscenely overpowered ship could be fun

wearable trope factory

The setting would be a nice universe to expand. But the movie and videogame and novel had bad reviews.

Gmod naval play was sort of like this

>crossout devs refuse to answer my question about if anything will ever be done about hovers dominating races

yeh lol
prenerf, tho
I have more videos of sloppy ballerina dancing if you want to see them.

as if any movie with dennis hopper in it can possibly be not enjoyable
next you'll be saying any movie with brian blessed in it is not automatically a masterpiece

gotta think outside the box
>hey devs when are you going to nerf bigfoot wheels their perk is too competitive against hovers in racing
