Edit for new page content: Does anyone else use remote-controlled drones? I'm designing some new ones and I wonder if 3 small ship welders/grinders is considered sufficient these days.

Use a Twin Welder/Grinder instead of the vanilla versions if you can, they have a much larger area of effect. If you're sticking to vanilla though, yeah that'll probably be fine.

Speaking of connectors, apparently they are still applying force even when one of the ends are turned off.

I see people like LastStandGamers showcasing a bunch of small ships gone wild with working oxygen systems, but even with mods I can't seem to get mine to pressurize. Am I missing something? Also, what's up with the tiny LCDs and the hinge blocks? Just some handy mods?

GotLag posted:Connector chat This all seems to have started when my station became a "ship." Before I could dock and lock without issue. I can get magnet-pulled on the connectors no problem and everything is yellow, but right when I lock down it makes a big fiery catastrophe. I'm currently not using landing gears here. I'm trying to think of some ways around this bug. Maybe putting connectors on advanced pistons and lowering them onto parked ships? Also there seems to be a bunch of issues with locking-down to another grid at the moment. Landing gear refuse to unlock even after being completely disassembled, and connected ships with connectors will tend to float away while still having connected inventories (I noticed this before the explosions).

my SSGW has pressurization problems too it'll eventually fully get pressurized but takes forever even with a vent in any major space. And in the event of a breach takes at least 10sec before the depressurization I'm assuming that cause it's over 40k blocks atm

Here's the exterior atm, and a gif of the escape pod being jettisoned http://imgur.com/a/HpMv8 It's kinda slow accelerating and decelerating it has the reactor power for probably double the amount of engines atm and it turns well thanks to a bunch of modded gyroscopes That big gash in the first album happened because the rotor the Pilot's HUD is attached to exploded while going 300m/s it's safe now that rotors and pistons lock when going above 100m/s the landing gears do keep breaking off though so I might ditch them I'm waiting till planets are released to finish it. I left room behind the cargo containers for a handful of large hydrogen tanks to power it off/on a planet. it can also stay in orbit and I can just build a drop ship that works with the escape pod clamp. It also needs a proper paint job I looked at the details and it's actually only around 30k blocks, the original one was the 40k+ one Shuffle fucked around with this message at 06:38 on Nov 5, 2015 |

Huh. Only one of my rooms is pressurized now so at least I know it works.

Is there a good way to move hydrogen from one take to another aside from parking my fighter onto a special docking spot that attaches to a special generator on the station? With O2 you can do the trick with 2 vents but there is no such option for Hydrogen. With planets I'm just going to build a big idiot ship that is nothing but O2 tanks that flies into the atmosphere to fill itself up and then docks on the station and dumps the O2 into the station tanks. I dunno if water is more than decorative but if it is I would like to be able to do the same by cracking a ton of hydrogen down there on the surface and loading it up in space so I don't have to worry about ice.

Wasn't water confirmed to be "just ice for now" in the follow-ups to the big livestream? So yeah you could easily land a small miner and fill up with a fuckload of it.

So there's a new cockpit that lets you build stuff without getting out, so you can have proper construction ships now, which is cool. Also new admin tools.

Here's my work-in-progress (nearly done!) small ship gone wild. I have funky issues with the airlocks (there aren't any) and I'm on creative so of course it's impossible to depressurize anything when all my oxygen tanks are automatically full. I'm sure in a regular setting it would work and I can just depressurize the cabin before lowering the boarding ramp to exit, but I don't want to mess with survival just to test it. I'm just trying to spruce up the interior as much as possible now.  It really makes me wish there were a way to upscale to a Large Ship, because I really dig the design and I think on a greater scale it would serve an even better purpose. I mean, the hangar airlock for people on the top would probably be large enough for small fighters.

Zodack posted:I've had a lot work for me but the resolution is mad trash so I just rolled with default. It's more that the tone mapping is backwards (go inside a dark space like an asteroid or a ship interior and it gets darker instead of the reverse) so when you're in open space the brightness ramps up, which makes any artifacts or low-level gradients stand out like nobody's business. Hopefully it'll get fixed, one day.

Good news! I fixed my creative mode airlock problems by just installing vents attacked to singular air tanks, not connected to the rest of the network. I think in practice I could manage in survival with the regular network (it would get awkward if ALL the tanks filled) but this feels like a nice compromise.Triskelli posted:
I didn't even notice until you quoted him that it's something inside a heavy armor cage, and not just a big square. Is that what it is - a heavy armor cage to protect whatever you have inside?

Again, according to the imgur gallery it's a ship with a rollcage built around it to protect it from collisions and while ramming. Unfortunately there's no crash-test footage; you know what needs to happen next.

If your oxygen tanks are full then just accept the loss from depressurisation.

My ship doesn't feature any hydrogen thrusters as of right now because I didn't see any reason to include them (but I can add them on later if I want). The way I have it set up now, those spare tanks can exist solely for moving the air in and out of rooms while the main ventilation system just provides air to the entire ship. e: err, wait, hydrogen is stored in hydrogen tanks.
