This is a very interesting concept.. There are a lot of things in the game I would even know the list Translate google
I finished the Monorail car and stuck it in the station's tunnel for a test run. Yeah this works. Just need to finish painting/texturing the tunnels. Spoiler Thanks again @Brimstone for the idea to convert the car to an SV. Works like a charm.
@Siege Inc. Great work on your monorail! on topic: Got inspired by @Brimstone 's thruster work and finished the entrance, elevator and bridge. As the radardish went in the middle location above the cockpit i had to give her 2 turrets on top, to a total of 5 now. Therefor i plan to only give the frigate 2 fixed guns and 5 sentries for those pesty little buggers around the landing site. But look for your self: Spoiler: WIP shots extended the nose radar, top turrets and new thrustercasing, needs more texture work the entrance with sensor for light and the 4 ramps/shutters for double protection on bottom of the elevator is the entrance, O2 Station and 2 harvesboxes. Here on top are 4 cargoboxes partely behind the sidewalls, the bridge is behind the doors, in your back is another door to he rest of the frigate (not done yet) and finally the bridge, captians chair, 2 pilots below the captain and 2 battle stations on the lower level with fridges and food processor, armorlocker and core went also in here.
Today I finished circumnavigating the globe on foot. Medium settings. I kept the survival tool, left everything else in the capsule and started walking East. No armor. Shotgun and pistol only (Chainsaw in a pinch). They killed me 4 times. I retrieved my backpack 3 times with the drone. The 4th time I slid down a mountainside into a big patrol. Respawn, scream, die. Finally, I took a capsule back down. By that point I had enough experience that recovery was just part of the journey. I was scavenging for ore and veggies when I heard that familiar chittering. Luckily, a nearby rock was tall enough for safety and then it was a matter of tickling them to death with the survival tool. With all of the new mechanics and the beautiful terrain the walk turned into one of the best games I've played so far. It was fun, challenging and it raised up my v8 survival skills several notches. It provided me with another way to play the game.
After a long time, I once again found time to work on the major project. Spoiler: As a reminder, it was about this ship. Paint was applied for design purposes only. She is not finished yet. Spoiler: Bridge Spoiler: Main Engines
little progress Outward appearance: finished Engines: Finished RCS + Generators: finished fuel and oxygen tanks: finished construction of the interior continues
Still working on the monorail system for my space station today. Just finishing up with the texturing and deco for the tunnels and sprucing up the monorail car a little. I want to add some sensors tied to lights to let the pilot of the monorail car know when to slow down/stop. Spoiler Monorail car interior Monorail entrance. These took a lot more time than I thought they would but I'm slowly whipping them into shape. This is like the fourth revision now. They're fully integrated into the city level.
Did a little more with my distraction. I am thinking that there will be three groupings of thrusters. The primary thrusters with a mix of XL and L thrusters, XL being to the aft and underside. Maneuvering thrusters being the 8 or so M thrusters in each direction. The M thrusters don't add much, so they won't move it well on their own. And a third group for the 16 L thrusters at the back of the vessel, a sort of extra boost option. As I started adding more combat steel hull, the weight started climbing fast. I am thinking the outer layer only will be combat steel, a protective out layer, and everything inside will be hardened or plain steel to save weight.
Been working on my biggest base now that we have big planets figured I needed a base worthy of that. Was building in space in creative for days and after adding pillars wanted to check stability on planet but can't seem to spawn was wondering if anybody else can spawn what I'm working on
