Jackard posted:Also I'm surprised you chose to have each deck only six blocks high. If you wanted to show more of the ship, just make it larger? As stupid as it may sound, I find 6 block decks a more "realistic" ceiling height than the default ships. I guess most find them too small though?  Anyways, Progress!    Just need to set up the cockpit, adjust the windows, neaten the top turret/dome and further detail/neaten the visible parts of the exterior a bit more and I honestly think I'll call this done. Oh, and figure out how to add objects that aren't part of the default ship (I want platforms in there and some of those Modern Sliding Doors in the top deck.

Kikas posted:For rock people I'd go for something like the WH40k Orkz, that they just keep on spreading. Bacsue you Can't Stop the Rock I'd personally go in the other pun direction and make then music themed. Maybe they're hollow rock people and their inner cavity is great at resonating and amplifying sound, essentially turning their whole body into a musical instrument. Let's call then "Rokkers", because why not. The members of the species carve intricate holes and grooves into themselves as well as other body mods to to allow increased control over the air reverberating through their body, making them better musicians. When also playing an instrument they can do things with sound previously unheard of. Their society is a purely talent-based system where the more talented you are, the more money you make, and the higher your social status. The recent boom in body mod development has kind of completely hosed up the system, though. Proper body modification is expensive, so there is now a rapidly increasing poverty gap as the rich families get better and richer while the lower classes flounder with little chance of surmounting the increasingly high barrier for entry into the "big time" Many poor Rokkers have perished or become permanently mutilated trying to self-mod or being suckered into shady black-market mod shops. The only hope one has now of breaking into the business is by a) being born a prodigy or b) waiting for a professional modder to give out charity mods; and The Glam Five (the current #1 Rokker band in the universe) has taken steps to ensure neither of those things will happen. At least, not legally, for the latter. Rokkers' relationships with other species tend to be... strained. Being nothing more than consciousnesses in animate rock bodies, they lack any capability to see, perceiving the world purely through the ebb and flow of sound waves, in particular identifying living creatures by the sounds they make. Many members of a particular race tend to sound alike to Rokkers leading to the generally held belief that Rokkers are self-absorbed and mildly racist when the latter is not true and the former is true only, like, 75% the time. The only race Rokkers are are truly good terms with are the Avians, having an easier time distinguishing between their more melodious voices and finding them quite pleasing to listen to. Their least favorite race would have to be the Florans. Their scratchy, hissy speech rarely sits well with a Rokker's inner cavities. I imagine the Rokkers having a Glam Rock aesthetic, with wild outfits and flashy lights and poo poo-tons of glitter. Their weapons would be styled off of musical instruments. e: Holy poo poo I wrote a lot of words about something I don't have one iota of the talent needed to make reality.

TECH IDEA: Drone, When used with F it deploys a flying drone, the drone sports whatever gun or weapon you are holding when you pop it (pistol and flashlight for exploring? Grenade launcher and pistol? Rocketlancher?) and stops all energy regen. Taking damage or firing your weapon lowers its energy till it eventually winks out of existence, flying too far away from your player causes it to wink out of existence.

Make it a radar drone and have it light up areas of ore (with colors for rarity) and I'll take it. Craftable on the Robotic Crafting Table.

I would love to see drones like this. How would you control the drone though? Are you saying your character would be immobile while the drone flies? Or have some way to control aiming, drone movement and player movement at the same time?

I'd also be down for having a remote you can back into and out of at will and screwing the energy requirements in favor of some other requirement like crafting it from plutonium and rubite, I kinda want turrets and all sorts of baller techno-shite when I reach impervium.

It wouldn't be a copy, it'd use your weapons, that way it wouldn't be useless as poo poo later like mech since its offensive abilities are tied to your own. The whole 'winking out of existence' thing is the drone returning to you weapons and all. For instance if you are holding a sniper rifle and you drone up, your character would be left standing there fiddling with a remote while the sniper rifle in your hands is attached to the side of the flying drone. Try it with a pistol and a flashlight, drone takes off with a pistol on one side and a flashlight on the other, both slaved to your cursor for aiming purposes while WASD control where you fly. edurt: Why are you guys asking me how they work, I'm just having a stupid loving idea about a hypothetical feature  Your assertions and suggestions are just as valid.Edumb: Also: Ore scanner based off flashlight, lights up ores in a cone in front of it but doesn't illuminate anything else. I'm suggesting all this crap because there is hintings of future tech to come, when fighting robot enemies they occasionally drop copper wires and circuit boards for instance.

Tried dropping a suggestion to the devs to do something about getting "double-tapped" and instagibbed with one pixel tall lava (basically invisible if there's glowing lava nearby so I've found it irritating doing deep exploration) and it developed into a spergy argument about what would really happen if someone dipped their toe in lava, as well as the "if anything it should do more damage and be even harder to see. I am awesome at games. Love me, love me!". Never go on official game forums.

Has anything been addressed regarding mechs? They're cool but kinda useless and I'd like to see a lot more in regards to vehicles or at least letting mechs be tiered/upgraded. Getting a mech on a T10 planet (finally) that does 10 damage a shot and walks slow as poo poo is pointless when I can blink around the screen and fire off 5k one shots that split/ or just use an AR hitting for hundreds.

The Deadly Hume posted:Excellent. I was sort of thinking about having a go myself but you're further along building the lore. I got about as far as calling them "Lapids" (short for lapidary) which you can use if that sounds OK to you. Please don't cancel any plans on my account. There's no reason to stop working on an idea that someone else is dabbling in, especially when it would be something to stand out against the imminent horde of animal people. Frankly I think inorganic races are an idea that is kind of overlooked, and I'm sure that the Geodes, or whatever I end up calling them, could use the company in the cold vastness of space. Heck, dijon du jour already pitched a great idea in Rokkers that's completely different from what I'm up to. So, go for it, dude. Also that's a good name, build on it. Brings to mind some race of incredibly skilled and meticulous craftsmen that people go to when they want things done as finely as possible, like dwarves are sometimes represented. The name alone makes it sound like they would be super-fancy and high-class.

I think all the desserts and some of the other foods do that. I made 100 pineapple upside-crown cakes and holy poo poo was that ever a good idea. Protip: when you find a food merchant, buy 100 of everything and stash it all on your ship. Being able to periodically go through your recipes, grab some ingredients, and slap together 100+ Ultimate Mega Stimpacks is loving amazing. In other news, I found the Butterfly Boost yesterday and oh my god everything is glorious now.

Indecisive posted:Butterfly Boost is basically the One True Tech No kidding. - Butterflies  - Full, uninterrupted directional control in mid-jump or freefall - Unlimited activation and reactivation as long as energy is available - Fast as hell - Motherfucking fabulous It took me about three seconds to get used to not having energy dash on. Then I discovered an Avian village and flew gracefully over their rooftops serenading them with Moonlight Sonata on acoustic guitar, surrounded by rainbows and butterflies. After that I tried to bring the beauty of my magic to a Glitch castle on a world made of bones, but the knights there had no love of music and attacked me, so I destroyed them and flew around some panicked robo-noble farting out rainbows and pixie dust and jamming the A-team theme while he ran in circles calling for the guards (which would never come (because I killed them with my diabolic fey magic)).

Man, I really wish I had started farming earlier. Apex starts with wheat and banana seeds and a recipe for banana bread, which takes 2 wheat and 1 banana. Both bananas and wheat are done in 10 minutes, so I can make a shitload of banana bread. The bread heals me to 100% and gives me a 20 second super speed buff, and it seems like it buffs my jump height as well. So brokenly powerful for as easy as they are to make.
