There seems to be some kind of unit gently caress-up. GasProperties.sbc gives the energy density of hydrogen as 0.001556 MWh/L (the unit is specified in a comment), which matches with the ideal value of compressed hydrogen on Wikipedia. Cubeblocks.sbc shows power output of reactors and consumption of thrusters in MW. However, in-game a thruster rated at 10 MW consumes 10 MWh per second, i.e. 3600 times faster than it should.

Hey, so I figured I'd finally try to get into this game and do the tutorial. Only problem is, this door, about 2 minutes into the first tutorial likes to close really fast. Any idea how to get past it?

Yeah, this week's patch has been a bit dodgy because of all the new stuff they're trying to fiddle with to get planets ready. If we're really lucky, we might see a hotfix come Monday (it's happened before for some of the more worse weeks). By-and-large the game is really stable, it's just that they're ramping up to add a decent chunk of new content and over the last few weeks a lot of the back-code has to been changed (ie; broken, fixed) to accommodate it.

Oh, one thing I forgot to mention from watching the stream; Apparently planets are complete whole entities, there's no barrier past a certain depth. It's just you and how long you can last before you run out of RAM from digging Too Deep towards the other side.

But the server would need to hold that information as well, right? So the real limitation would be the server hardware restricting everyone, and further restrictions imposed by low-end client hardware. As I have at least as much ram as any dedicated hosts I've seen for rent for games of this style (last time I looked anyway), I wonder if that means I can base like a submarine, beyond the reach of those with less than 32 GB.

 Made some changes to the upper hull to fix how flat it was (I never really liked it, and it's a holdover from the ship I used the hull from originally). Cant decide if I should leave the little step between the forward Mk.3 cannons empty or add some extra guns there though. I was also gonna slap it onto the Workshop as a Blueprint because it's pretty much finished (saving a World version until Planets are out so I can show off some of the subcraft properly), except that something in this week's patch also borked Artificial Mass Blocks so the gravity cannons aren't working properly until that gets taken care of (  ).But that's not much fun on its own, so I instead decided to try out one of my new airburst nukes on it. With the shields off (not that they make much difference against a Nuke).  RADIOLOGICAL ALARM!   Surprisingly the drat armor actually ate it.  The interior's fine except for one minor breach closest point to the blast, right outside the CIC. edit: There's a sneaky undocumented change this week I came across that should please most people; Looks like KSH got fed up with everyone complaining about the Connector's pull being varying degrees of too-strong, because now there's a manual slider to adjust it  .

Neddy, can you double-check the mods that your hangar bay module uses? I pasted it on my world and the game complained that some blocks are missing. It's nothing critical, though.

HardDisk posted:Yeah, that one. Gave it a quick poke (and a minor cleanup), and I think it was just a few extra Interior Conveyor blocks that eventually got folded into the main mod (corner pieces and such). Nothing that'll actually affect the bay itself. I've also actually been fiddling with a new Endeavour-sized ship, incidentally.  No Gravity Cannons or programming core like it's big brothers (the openings at the front are a set of Sidonia-style reverse thrusters), it's just a simple (relatively) cheap mass-fire Frigate to go exploring with without any system-chugging at all.  The size of it may be partly so it can be produced by Construction Limpets .

I'm mostly making neat poo poo for fun, partly seeing if I can dial in a personal tech tree to see about going from small-start to colossal battleship as quickly as possible. Once you get to the remote-controlled Construction Limpets though you're pretty much there if you can gather enough resources, as they eat ships and poop new ones from blueprints. Or self-replicate to make more Limpets to build bigger/multiple ships together .

Thanks. I feel like I'm running in circles trying to build that asteroid base on survival. It's always way more cramped than I had imagined, and when I build a bigger room, it takes a lot more space and a lot more

Played around with Hydrogen Thrusters a bit, and while they're not so great on Large Blocks (compared to most mod versions), goddamn are the small-block ones amazing. Added some to my Bumblepods and with just eight of the drat things it's able to keep itself airborne, fully-loaded, in 1G gravity. Also added it to the Workshop. Basically build the tool "hands" you want, do the job, detach them into the hellish death of your base/ship's grinders, weld on whatever you need next from its onboard projectors (welders, grinders, drills, or guns). No idea what the actual flight time on them is like with four filled gas tanks though . I was actually hoping to use the maglocks added to the tool hands to keep them stationary so they can be collected for re-use later, but the breaking force of the merge block just unlocks them  . Either that or it's a fun bug from disconnecting the Connectors.HardDisk posted:But then I will have squishy interior walls exposed to the outside. You'll just have to encase them in an extra layer of light armor for a sweet interior and exterior  .

Your base should be super secret stealth anyway. I built a pretty simple full glass enclosure on the surface of 'roid, but underneath made a minuscule man sized tunnel that opens into a giant container/refinery/assembler blob. Tunnel is not accessible due to decoy blocks built over it, so no one will ever find your stuff/have reason to attack you due to you seeming to be small fry. Looks like a peaceful little truck stop with no defenses, actually a full sized frigate shipyard using this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=507705420 I just need to hollow out another section in the naturally tunneled out section, insert this into it and give it a full Hanger Door covering and then it's finished. I will post a screenshot once the LOD asteroid bug is fixed and I can safely leave my base without getting lost in nothing. Tonight I'm going to see how small you can make a remote miner, as a complex base distributed throughout an asteroids internal man made pathways would be very hard to kill with lighter weapons. Edit: The Automated Inventory Sorting mod appears to no longer work for me, though other mods like the LCD one do. I have looked in the pages discussion section for people with the same problem but they tend to not get answers. Has any of you had a problem with it, and if so, how did you rectify it?

So I'm having some issues with getting through the tutorial. It's been a long time since I've played and wanted a refresher, but apparently hanger doors keep instantly shutting closed and not opening back up. I was able to get around it in the first tutorial but when I get right to the end of the 2nd one it literally instant-shuts me out when I get close... Should I just wait for planets and spiders?

Best guess is they changed something when coding the new sliding doors and broke all of them by accident.

What am I doing wrong when I'm trying to build a station? I have Station Voxel Support turned on, that means I should build the starter block halfway into a piece of asteroid if I'm not entirely mistaken. If I try to build it too far "inside", the game won't let me, or the starting light armor piece goes tumbling away into space. Apparently if I just barely embed it the station can still go tumbling away if I nudge it too hard? I've tried this three times now and I can't get a station to stay put. Should I just accept fate and turn off voxel support so stations stay in place in open space? Maybe it's just kind of lovely since the last patch? I notice my astronaut seems to be clipping through walls too.

All Station Voxel Support means is that when you blow pieces off of a Station they become Large Ship chunks that go tumbling off. Or falling to the ground on a planet because your building just got leveled.

Worked out okay until I made a small grinder ship and tried to grind down the medbay from the station to move it. This pushed the entire station into the asteroid (breaking the refinery, so that save is probably screwed now). Did I just build the station too small since a small ship could push it?

Try it with Station Voxel Support disabled. Maybe it's somehow converting both pieces instead of one into a ship.

It's been in the game for ages, but I haven't noticed it in the past few weeks so they must've broken something with the latest patch (as-usual). One thing I have noticed is there's a pretty big FPS drop with this patch, and hopefully that'll get taken care of in the hotfix.  Who wants to see a magic trick?  Abra  Ca   Dabra!  Still need to work on the spacing for some of them and it's not going for a complete regeneration, just the big key sections like the cannons, broadside guns and armor around the main crew deck.

So, after doing some testing and looking up of stuff, I found out how much thrust my fighter design has in the final version of it (well, most recent). Apparently it's 37N/kg.  I knew it was fast but goddamn. I guess that's what happens when you cram 2 sage thrusters into a ~24,000kg ship.
