Lastgirl posted:oo it looks like they added new sail patterns, super neat Version 2 of that design earlier, 2400ish kg instead of 1200ish with better engine protection. And most of the extra weight was engines and the two added cannons anyway. Each of these is about 20% heavier than the first ones if I remember the weight of the first ones right, about 230kg each. Cannons are about 100kg each. Still divided on the cannons for a solo ship, especially the front one. Still a few more metal plates to make too, but they're the less important ones where cannons are less likely to hit.  Engine room. One gas tank on the side made of nickel/copper instead of hemlock/copper was causing the ship to pull left significantly, but since I used the gas guzzler engines on the redo, it's nice to have two tanks anyway even if I had room to put the tank centerline. Also, I can use the helm from on top of the respawner to get up easily if I need to.  Helm view. A bit cramped due to trying to keep things compact for light weight, but could be worse. Also I totally did not put that compass on wrong I swear. Helm box is for holding pistol, bullet and cannon ammo materials for when they're needed.  Overhead view.  About 70-90% faster I'd guess over the first setup since that one used more fuel efficient engines, but I didn't have a speedometer at the time. About 50-60% faster than two engines. Doesn't go fast enough. I've seen >40 knots, but I dunno if that's the real max speed or if lag is holding it back or what.  E: There's another wing underneath too, that's left out of the shots. I wanted it on top, but apparently you can't put wings on decks, and I made the top perfectly flat this time! Kylra fucked around with this message at 07:54 on Jun 7, 2017 |

Patch Next Week YOUR FEEDBACK, AND OUR WORK AHEAD June 9th 2017 Hello wanderers, For the last few weeks, we’ve been hard at work on the first patch in Closed Beta, 0.1.1, which we’re hoping to release next week. Sorry we’ve been a bit quiet, but we really wanted to focus all our energies on getting out the fixes to the biggest bugs as soon as we could! Don’t worry, though, we’ve heard your feedback loud and clear. And now that we can take a breath, we’d really like to share our thoughts on our priorities. To address many of these issues, we’ve been planning design solutions or rearranging things to move up future features. Here are the top priority things on our board: Multiple issues players often collectively refer to as “lag”: Big freezes when flying from island to island, usually resulting in getting catapulted off your ship. This gets worse the longer you play, generally requiring relogging after three or four hours. This is something we’ve been working on progressively optimizing for months. We’ve improved it again for 0.1.1, and should have fixed the bug causing steady degradation over long sessions. Servers being overloaded, resulting in physics slowdown. This manifests in choppiness in movements of creatures, metal scrap pieces, anything physical, but probably worst with ships being slowed down as well. Particularly rough when you’re trying to fly through weather barriers, or when you’re worried about fuel. This is, as most people have guessed, due to overloaded physics on the servers. We’ve already implemented into 0.1.0 certain cleanup procedures for abandoned ship frames, which are a big offender. In 0.1.2, we’re looking to implement more elegant design solutions. The worst offenders, however, were bugs that would cause lots of physics resources to be eaten up by a very small number of ships. Most have been fixed in 0.1.1, but this is ongoing. Choppy framerate when loading in new parts of an island, most noticeable when running across really large islands in the Wilderness. This is a longer-term issue that we’re planning for. Not being able to log into your character: Some of you have encountered this bug, where after playing for some time, your character would break and not allow you to log back in. We have been manually fixing those characters, but 0.1.1 should fix the underlying bug. Player-vs-player balance, including griefing: Currently too easy to salvage a shipyard and steal a docked ship. In the short term, shipyards will either have their HP buffed, or, in a more drastic change, shipyards currently docking a ship will not be salvageable. They will require pistols, explosives, or cannon shells to damage. In the longterm, shipyards will be extensible similar to how sky cores are, so the upgrades will confer defensive benefits. Pistols are overpowered when shooting ship parts. Cannons are rendered mostly obsolete in ship combat when boarding opponent’s’ ships and and shooting their engines or other parts with your pistol is so powerful. In the short term, we’ll simply make pistols do way less damage to ship parts. In the medium term, there are more elegant solutions with how damage and health work for different types of entities in the game that we want to get implemented. In addition, we’ve long planned methods to forcibly detach someone’s grapple, as well as melee weapons. The specifics still need to be worked out, but we definitely want these features in! It’s still too easy for hostile players to use your helm or opening your containers. In the upgrade from Alpha 6 to Closed Beta, we added the additional timer for interacting with anything on a ship that didn’t belong to you. (In Alpha 6 and before, anyone could really grab your helm!) We’re probably going to increase this timer for an immediate fix. In a future update we’ll be adding animations for when someone is trying to use an object, so you’ll know to immediately start shooting/meleeing them (and thus cancelling their action). There are various other design solutions we’re discussing – for example, craftable locks are definitely still planned, but wouldn’t solve the problem entirely. In general, it takes a lot less work and a lot less effort to destroy a ship than to build it. We definitely hear you on this. This has been something we’ve been trying to find the right balance on since the very first internal playtests, and with every new feature the balance shifts and needs to be reevaluated. This is a very broad topic, though, that deserves its own space – We’ll be addressing it soon in its own blog post. The “clutter” of abandoned ship frames and parts: Part of this issue is due to the game not doing a good job explaining how ships work (for example, players are making, as their first ship, cool designs that are just too heavy to fly). We’ll be addressing that issue in future updates. But part of it is definitely the inability to salvage ship frames. We’re thinking about, for 0.1.2, letting players salvage ship frames that have started deteriorating already, as well as other mechanisms for cleaning up the world. The randomness of acquiring Atlas Sky Core upgrades Lots of players, due to bad luck, take a long time to find the schematic for the upgrades to their sky core. We definitely feel your frustration on this, and are looking into solutions. Simply putting these into the Knowledge tree would create other problems, and not fully solve this. We’d like to find a comprehensive, elegant solution. Choosing your character name at character creation, and multiple characters There’s not much to say about these except that we really want these in as well! In a future update you will be able to change the character name you reserved on the website. Multiple characters is important to us because we want players to be able to have a character they play with their crew, and then a character they play when they just want to fly solo or even with a different crew. There are plenty of other issues we’ve gotten feedback on (e.g., we’ll probably be making the compass schematic available in the Expanse), but we wanted to specifically call out the big ticket items today. They’re as important to us as they are to you, trust me! We’re committed to delivering on our vision of Worlds Adrift – the freedom, the adventure, the excitement, the wonder, and the laughs – and we can’t do that without your comments, opinions, ideas, and feedback driving us forward. As always, fly safe. Herb Producer

The paneling system is super janky but it's my kind of janky. I'd rather they fix the lag if they can than just give up and switch to the tasteless fill-tool they have for decks.

when i played the free version, i immediately recongnized the paneling system as interesting. im not a networkologist but uhhh how do you have ~30 panels with uniquely placed graphic effects + whatever physics they have x (~20 ships in a fight + all the players involved) and not burn down a server rack it used to be a viable strategy in games like rust, h1z1 and etc base building games to fill gigantic bases with the most laggy objects possible and just have a better pc to win. i expect the same here, but giant lagships

I remember Rust having similar issues with individually placed wall blocks and I think their solution was to dynamically aggregate similar blocks into single units to simplify physics and graphics tasks. Since ships are a lot smaller I don't see that solution being viable, but could see some sort of physics simplification (gibbing, noclipping) for destroyed panels coming into play eventually.

We are creating a group called the TSA. It's in the works. This will fight back against groups such as the knights of the whatever. We'll require everyone to get leeloo dallas multipass to fly above 1500 altitude. Otherwise you are considered hostile. We also hold the right to flag ships for possible criminal behavior and board and search said ships for contraband. This is sure to be a hit on the forums. Who can out role play the role players?

Blazing Zero posted:. im not a networkologist but uhhh how do you have ~30 panels with uniquely placed graphic effects + whatever physics they have x (~20 ships in a fight + all the players involved) and not burn down a server rack The lack of more serious performance issues probably has to do with anchoring to the frame preventing a wide swath of physics interactions. Kind of like how a lot of mmos don't process or load collision and targeting and such as rigidly in non-combat areas to save the overhead. Presumably from what they've mentioned a large chunk of the remaining non-garbage collection performances issue lie with overlapping plates in some way, my guess being that they cause some kind of constant collision issue (which needs to be constantly calculated). My guess at their solution would be to shortcut the physics even more on overlapping plates as long as they are still attached to the frame so the servers don't have to calculate so many "null" collisions (assuming that's what's happening). What I want to know is how they're going to physics enable frames without burning down the servers if there's already this many issues.

futile posted:drat this game looks real bad It varies a lot, mostly dependent on island size and number of big ships in the area or loose parts on the ground. Also of course the memory leak has performance dropping over time until it crashes. I think beta was a bit pre-mature, but it really is a good game. Just needs a poo poo ton of work.

Some of the memory leaks were fixed. So imo it's not as bad as it was. The patch this week will further look to resolve these issues and the lag on islands. Since I believe this patch deals with adding a system to remove old ship wreckage, and allows players to salvage everything where as before they could not remove old ship frames for resources. And of course a bunch of other stuff we don't know about yet. [9:57 AM] Bossa Oliver (Not Olivier): personally, I hope in 5 years we have base building, huge alliances that have taken over islands and are fighting over land, trading bases established, huge sky whales that you have to band with many ships to take on, creatures you can tame and group together, maybe even some sort of huge creature you can ride and tame, like a cool seamonster dragon type of thing [9:57 AM] Bossa Oliver (Not Olivier): but I have no say in it and don't know if that's even possible [9:57 AM] Bossa Oliver (Not Olivier): lol Also water.. https://vine.co/v/ebQQxpeEwOa/embed/simple forge fucked around with this message at 15:02 on Jun 14, 2017 |
