When does this game get good?
>>720787117When you play with friends. Don't tell me you play alone, or with random online people, right?
>>720787183i play alone because friebds quit after 20 minutes
>>720787314Get new friends. Your previous "friends" weren't actually friends. Tell your new friends to man up and play the damn game.
>>720787361>getting new friends>in current year
what is this game like nowadays?
>>720787558It has fully functional automation/AI nowthey also added hunger and radiation mechanics few days ago
What's the best drill design for a big ship in space?
>>720787117>>720787183maybe you might like designing ships with moving subgrids and automated systems, but if that doesn't tickle your fancy, then I'm afraid you've already seen the whole gameyou could install Modular Encounters System and its submods to stretch it out a bit by adding more PvEpeople who are really into the game just like designing ships in creative, or self-limit themselves to make their own fune.g. no jetpacks so they have to make all their builds walkable and have to use repair ships to do all their construction (you can place blocks while in a cockpit with Ctrl+G)>>720787558the only major addition since then is the AI blocks that add player and enemy dronesyou can set the drones to intercept/ram into enemy ships, so no more scripts for building missilesthere's an endgame encounter with really tough enemies that you need to build beefy ships for, maybe even your own dronesthey also use missiles too, don't sleep on your point defense>>720787737the survival mechanics didn't add much unfortunatelyjust a tiny incentive to pressurize some interiorsbtw they didn't allow automatic replanting to "force players to interact with the system" just some more bad game design that you have to mod out>>720787858space mining ships could be anything, since you don't have to bias the thrusters to one side to fight against gravityI recommend designing two ships, one a freighter that can carry your entire haul, and the other, a smaller (small/large grid) mining ship that's easier to control
>>720787117pick a less boring 6dof game OP
Bottlenecked by goooollldd reeeeEEEEE
>>720788589Like? I already played Elite Dangerous and maxed out my imperial frigate and cutter and conda btw. 4X, maybe I'll try that.
>>720788909>4X, maybe I'll try that.I heard that Sins Of A Solar Empire 2 is pretty good
>>720788995>4XSorry, I meant X4:Foundations, which is also a 4x game but space sim like Starsector + E:D
redesigning ships in survival is so ass
>>720787117Never, in my experience. It sucked in 2013 when it first came to early acccess. It sucked in 2015, 2019, 2021, 2023, and, guess what, it still sucks. I hate how everything is block-based like Minecraft. I don't want to play Minecraft in space. I want to play a game where you build stuff and explore.I'm hoping that Space Engineers 2 will get rid of all the block-based nonsense.
>>720790818the blocks in SE2 are variably sized and no longer separated by large-small gridit's still blocks, though.you still don't have variable scaling and stretchable "blocks" like in Spaceship EVO (that's getting released next decade don't get your hopes up)
>>720791012https://store.steampowered.com/app/1133870/Space_Engineers_2/>Early AccessOh, for fucks sake. What the hell is with that developer? The first Space Engineers has been in development for 12 YEARS, then finally officially released 6 YEARS AGO.
I cant fucking find goldit's been 30+ hours of wandering with this Lying bitch of a radio spectrometer
>>720792484what's a radio spectrometer
>>720792543This mod lets you 'scan' asteroids from afar for its contentsit is supposed to scan the entire cluster you point the ore detector to except 50% of the time its fuckin bogus

I captured a prey...it's full of all the resources i needed!
>>720794959Did you beat it in honorable ship to ship combat or did you hydroman it like a nigger?
>>720794319Borderlands 4Elden Ring
>>720796162based REAL gamer...
>>720795801I had to use AI blocks to force my turrets to target the enemy ships at 2k range, because the enemy was firing at me from 2.5k km away and I could not do shit against it.I ate 2 artilllery shells to the broad side but otherwise came out unscathed
>>720796453Also my ship weighs almost 2 million tons and have only 1 small ion thruster on the side, it's not maneuverable at all. I can't find the time to refit this shitty mining shipwill probably just grab one off the workshop and use a projector...
>>720787117When you start actually challenging yourself in engineering. Build a 50-km ranged missile that can scatter bomblets and decoys at terminal approach and make it fit into a launch bay of your ship. Make a VTOL ship that can drill 200 m below the ground. Install a speed mod + real orbits and try to make THAAD to protect your base from orbital bombardment, or go the other way around and design a payload and fire control scripts that can strike a waypoint precisely. Also mods that add torque to off-axis engines make building a hundred times more enjoyable
whats the fastest way to empty my small grinder ship into my base? emptying through connector->collector is slow, and so is drag/drop
>>720797776Do you do all that experimentation in survival or creative?I find it pretty hard to explore and try those nifty things in survival due to constant lack of resources
