Cent~SPARTA~ Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I like the sound of that as a mission. It would be good to do something with an aim to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adder360~SPARTA~ Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 All sounds very interesting looking forward to having time to then sit for hours making weird and wonderful contraptions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I have been messing around in single player, but not very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 I've been running a local server to get a friend that's new to the game up to speed. The revamp definitely changes the early game in survival quite a bit. It's been good, though, I'm enjoying the new blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter~SPARTA~ Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Moved the local save to a dedicated server, catch me on Steam or TS for the details if you would like to join the shenanigans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 J, I had a look at your lift vehicle and tested it locally. I created a GPS point at a connector on the ground and another at 5000m. I set the remote to climb to the 5000m gps then descenf to the connector. result 1 It climbed very slowly and spun like a top. I added 2 descent thrusters and engaged precision mode. Result 2 Climbed much faster and spun less but missed the connector on landing I moved the Remote Control to behind the seat added a conveyor and connector directly beneath it then plumbed it into your existing conveyors. Reparked Bertha straight and connected. Result 3 Same as result 2 except it consistently lands on connector but not aligned. The next step is the timing blocks to disconnect/connect, turn thrusters on/off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I have been messing around with a great autopilot manager, Sam's Autopilot Manager v2. I have been using it to launch a cargo ship from earth to another ship in space. It orients itself correctly and locks automatically. Then I come back to earth where it docks to a specific connector and again locks automatically. It also allows higher speeds than 100 m/s and manages its thrusters perfectly with no waste, Furthermore it will prioritise thruster type depending on where you are.

custard~SPARTA~ Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I like the look of that Zeno 👍 I have been messing about on a local save and have come across a problem that my assemblers lose the ability to make some of the tools, I think this may be related to one of Adders mods the one with the more powerful ore detectors It is the mod, but a fix is to only load the mod when I really need a small block high powered ore detector which is quite rare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some code in the mod to stop the asselbers making a noise which used to make the main bases ear akes. So that file is probs out dated. Ill see about having a look at it soon (and try to remember what to do ha ha) Was planing to revisit the liquid hydron now there is the hydron genrators.

I'll get it added to the server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Its just a script, I dont think you need to add it (? indicating uncertainty of statement). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as i remember as long as the server allows programmable blocks you can add any code. also, what are the details of the server? sorry if i have missed a previous post detailing it.

There are no new tools as far as I know, it's no problem to be honest for me as it's easy to +/- a mod on my own save just thought you should know 👍 I have used your shuttle as a base to make my own and I have been to space mined platinum and returned without a incident so far, first time I have been off planet since they have been released rofl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeno~SPARTA~ Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I built a small block hydrogen "rocket" to transport materiel to a space station. I control it from the earth base. It still amazes me to watch it land vertically on its connector. Adder had done this with a standard remote but it takes many steps to accomplish. A great bonus is hydrogen consumption. Using this I can operate my hydrogen eagles with two tanks instead of four. This allowed me to add a passenger compartment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
