could we get some diagonal beams? not only because I needed handle bars also nice to set off some diagonals with glowies.
I would like to see additional self-sustaining energy blocks for bases, aside from solar power. Geothermal Power Generator Only usable in high-temperature planets, possibly only in lava itself Efficiency calculated based on temperature at placement location Wind Power Generator Only usable on planets with a certain level of atmosphere Efficiency based on current atmosphere conditions Hydro Power Generator Only usable in water Efficiency based on placement location The above options would also suggest a change to the Solar Capacitor block so that it becomes a general power capacitor for all self-sustainable energy sources, and required for any of them to operate (same as current solar power system) Using these would give better options to players to make self-sustaining bases using a mixture of applicable options for different planets (i.e. Hydro + Solar + Wind on Earth-like planet near water) Additionally it would be nice to have a more efficient water/oxygen generator for construction in a base, with similar functionality to current water generator, working as follows: Base Water / Oxygen Generator Works on base power Configurable storage output for water Must be placed in ice / water Efficiency calculation similar to current Water Generator Water / oxygen created in alternation until oxygen tanks full, then possibly increase water production
Here's a simple one - WALKWAY + RAILING as one block. Right now, you have to set up the walkway, then put a single railing to the left and one to the right, effectively using 3 blocks and using space that could be used for something else (like a light). So add 3 new blocks under walkway+railing group - walkway+single railing, walkway+corner railing and walkway+2railing(one on each side).
I don't want to make the automatic guns OP or add to the current tech tree much. But what about A.I. blocks to be placed near (within 4 blocks) of stationary automatic guns. If the developers still want to limit growth: * They could limit the upgrade to 1 type per block (initially). * They could limit the amount of blocks you can link to the Automatic Gun * The A. I. block takes the space of one Turret in the Base Max Item list. A.I. block types: Incremental or Evolved (top level get 2 bonus slots) 1 Incremental - you have to build the levels I, II, & III using the previous level block as part of the crafting for the next level up block. 2. Evolved - you A.I. block starts with very low bonuses but the bonus grows over time per kill A.I. Block Bonuses: 1. Accuracy 2. Range 3. Fire Rate 4. Elements: a - incendiary / explosive b - electrical / stun c - acid
Did I already say I’d like to buy maps in the orbital stations? Maybe win them in a game of chance from an alien in the bar.
something something to finish corners like this would be nice one ending in round and one in square/point would be ideal
Is it possible to ask that up to 4 emergency lights can be placed in a space on a wall where only 1 would normally enter? Or if this is difficult, is an emergency light block possible where we can select 1, 2, 3 ... etc. similar to how we select the spot lights? Perhaps configurations where they can be placed not always centered, say to the side or to a corner.
Since we will be getting CPU usage soon, it occurred to me that we could have upgrade-able cores. Starter Core or tier one, could handle the basics; a small gen, small constructor, lights, grow lights, and possibly sentry guns. Tier two core could handle the next size Generator, constructor, mini-gun turrets, and possibly missile turrets in addition to the above list. Tier three would see the T2 generators, advanced constructor, furnace, tier one repair bay, and all projectile turret weapons. The final upgrade would add the possibility of a power reactor (instead of a generator) deconstructor, and all top tier equipment. I'm sure you get the idea. The same system could be used for CVs, SVs and Hover's as well. Just a suggestion, for what it's worth.
Oh, also I forgot to wish for laser turrets for HVs. Just wondering why? I prefer their rate of fire over the plasma weapons.
Great idea except the Geothermal should also be usable against the core of the planet! I've always thought we needed an excuse to dig that deep, it would be fun if you had to go down there to put a generator!
It will be great to have some LCD displays, what can connect wich some other on another base or vassel, to write some important information on it, and this information displays on all connected LCD. For example, I collected resourses on some planet, and wish to write information about time on what i done this, so other faction members see do not lose time to fly on this planet for resourses on close time.
These are my suggestions for an Empyrion Beta.- 1- Fix the animation of the character, it goes to steps of 2 meters. add stealth mode would also be very good.- 2- Mechanics such as rotors, sliders, hinges and pistons would be necessary for infinite construction possibilities. 3- Free form blocks, with self-adjusting bounding box.- 4- More speed in space 115m / s variable at 5km / s and wormhole animation is necessary! 5- Fix the poles of the planets at once.- 6- Zoom for drones.- 7- External mobile camera for all constructions, with zoom.- 8- Turbines and solar panels, rotating.- 9- Remove the detection of players and player bases in pvp mode.- 10- Zirax do not attack if you do not attack them first.- 11- The containers should support more weight and the SV tubing should be more powerful.- 12- Drill and solar panels for SV´s .- 13- Minerals such as sand for crystals, ice to obtain water, sulfide for bullets, coal for advanced solar panels could be very useful.- 14- Automation of cargo box to fuel tank, oxygen tanks, are necessary for when you leave the base for a while.- 15- More drilling range of holes for HV.- 16- Remote control rockets with vertical take-off physics.- 17- Working table of weapons to customize sights, range, shapes and types of ammunition. It would be luxury.- 18- Animated customizable companion robot.- 19- Wind turbines.- 20- Customizable and animated cabins.- 21- Fix the lights that pass through blocks.- 22- Fix felled trees, they reappear and cannot be cut down again. 23- Led panels with the possibility of centering the text.- 24- Sirens and alarms for bases before an attack.- 25- Possibility of creating atomic bombs of plutonium and mines.- 26- Emergency parachute. I already fell several times hehe-
Although I Like the majority here, I fear that this represents what most players really want from this game... Which is unfortunately not what I want: #1 I wouldn't even consider it since I think 3rd person view is just weird and strangely narcissistic/megalomaniac. My most wanted features are nowhere in your list i.e. improve the flying experience!!! Why even bother having spaceships if they are good for nothing but moving from A to B? HOTAS support, an actual navigation HUD that shows us where things are and more importantly a targeting system! Cameras would be gorgeous, especially for docking so +1 on that one!
Here's a simple one - move the capacitors and similar from Deco into active devices and actually make them work like capacitors (batteries). And nerf generators, since even a small one seems more than enough to power my entire base. You could actually make base/ship laser turrets or big guns in general use a lot of power every time they fire, actually making batteries useful.
Pilot hands animations would be sweet. Also if maybe some of the flight info would show on the panels. Speed, gimbal, compass, fuel, and ammo would be cool.
Ok, many people may have not noticed that I've been away for a couple of weeks. That's because no one cares about meh... but I've been working hard still tormenting myself in my quest to make a full fledged female comp like in BladeRunner 2049, just for everyone else too, as a bridge technology until robot females that cook again are created... I have developed the ability to use Unity, like the Empy Devs, just completely less competently, and created a game, to show a few of the passed blocks we made 3D mock ups for, but now, in a way you can actually go around at your own pace and see. Here is a dropbox link for my Unity game showcasing 4 of the passed blocks not included in the game that people here wish were included... Going passed making an actual Unity game to help the Devs do LookDev, or PreViz, is about as far as I can go, everyone... https://www.dropbox.com/s/4i1bmfhgr6t7uva/Look - The Blocks !.zip?dl=0 One second, I'm uploading to pCloud...if the above link doesn't work, try this one: https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZ88Or7Zw0aGYLlUxvy0TJL64jCQvXsbMgy7 You can virus test it to death before you run the game, obviously, so would I, but there's nothing in there but a Unity game with 4 blocks on the ground... enjoy. If this idea is a good idea, and I should again make 3D mock ups, but then make "games" like this, and include many blocks at a time, I think that would be most parsimonious and effective. What do you guys think? @Hummel-o-War, what do you think of this use of Unity? I was trying to use XR/VR/AR/MR, and I realized, I didn't need that at all to get the idea across. Does using a game to allow you to walk around the block better to see than an orbiting presentation? I'll be able to make the game way smaller, when I learn more about Unity...and do what I want with the terrain. Then again, Idk if dropbox will allow a file 200mb to download. If it doesn't let me know, anyone. Try pCloud link above... Actual Game Images: Don't worry about the fps, I'm on a potato laptop I use as an internet appliance, because I'm tired of getting firebombed by alphabet groups.
Not sure if I posted this in the right thread last time, or if it got posted as I've seen no mention or response, this thread related to blocks seems more appropriate. I love exploring old wrecks, but am always disappointed when finding the hangar bay empty is it possible to place or put a broken hv in these areas, or with it being two "entities" impossible to get the desired outcome spawned into the playfield. it sure would be cool to try and piece together bits and pieces that you come across in some of these locations. Maybe in the future the developer could make a spawn pad that could be utilized that could trigger items / blueprints / quest rewards that blend into the content creation tools. Sure would be cool to make a poi, that can utilize a block in such a way. Goto POI steal hv take it to the scrap man.... sure would be cool. and help creators create better..
There's a german guy (by last name, but I can't refind it again) where he made hologram LCD screens that updated to the ammo amount on a ship. It's some type of mod or something, but listed in this forum somewhere. So the partial at least, solution is out there...
