any ideas on finding out conflicting mods?

@ionic pasture see the mod page, and what files they edit
if two different mods edit the same file then they can conflict

marsh eagle Sep 5, 2019, 9:02 AM

#

Ah your game crashes. That is something different. This means a mod needs an update. Mod in the sense of the tool means mods that change the same file whereby one overwrites the effect of the other.

#

You should take out one half of your mods. test for crashes. If it still crashes take the other half out. And split each half again and again in two groups until you find the crash causing mod

I have a feeling once nms is a bit older, few more years, youll have entire new series of ships

@jolly stag Yeah. I might include NMS specific ships (stuff originally shown in trailers) or in concept art.

jolly stag Sep 5, 2019, 5:46 PM

Garuga is a professional modeller for new animals in ark. Just keeps running through the back of my head, it could be amazing to see if you could introduce new animal parts and make them make sense with the proc gen

#

He basically could do hundreds of new parts in days

lime mesa Sep 5, 2019, 5:47 PM

I don't think it's possible to add new animal parts

@left sentinel @dense horizon @sinful anvil
So, I've fixed all crashes (to my knowledge) in dynamic space and I have a load of new features coming.
However, turns out that the crash was a result of a typo in one file. I spent 15+ hours deducing the cause of it

Instead of "ASTEROID", I typed "AASTEROID" 😠

how difficult is it to mod in this? I used to do a lot of morrowind modding back in the day but haven't done anything in years.

modest lintel Sep 5, 2019, 8:21 PM

It doesn't seem to be too difficult. It seems to be mostly changing stuff in xml files

#

@hushed lichen

#

The biggest problem that you run into is conflicting mods that modify the same files won't really load both. But that can be solved by merging them together.

I have no idea how that would work since I'm not super experienced with it myself, but I'd want to say maybe a texture replacement or something? I'm sure someone here would know if/how its possible

hushed lichen Sep 5, 2019, 8:30 PM

#

Yeah I don't know. In most other games you can just take a mesh and change the textures, and then you spawn the wearable object. But NMS doesn't seem to have "clothes" per se? Since appearance changes are made via the interface?

#

I have looked at all the modding tutorials on NMS that I've found, and none of them deal with adding new player options.

#

I did just find a female character mod though, but it isn't updated. Maybe if I crack it open I can see what they did

modest lintel Sep 5, 2019, 8:34 PM

#

I'm not sure about adding new ones, but could probably change the ones it loads from TEXTURES\COMMON\PLAYER\PLAYERCHARACTER

Its interesting, sorta digging through gek lore, apparently they can be male or female. There Amphians, As such they can produce eggs and sperm. So no real purpose for sexual roles. No wonder they reproduce so fast

modest lintel Sep 5, 2019, 9:42 PM

#

The thing I'm curious about/going to play around with is I found a scroll bar already setup for the expedition board in the expedition ui file set to hide, so going to unhide that and see what happens. The positions, width, and height seem kind of weird though when comparing it to the manage fleet scroll bar

#

Already increased the total amount of daily expeditions in the global file so interested in seeing if that will let me have a scrollable list to go through lol

hushed lichen Sep 5, 2019, 9:54 PM

is there a guide somewhere to explain how you would go about updating a mod for current NMS? or is it just a simple line change somewhere that someone can explain easily?

prime jasper Sep 5, 2019, 9:55 PM

#

Yea they need female characters with boobs

modest lintel Sep 5, 2019, 9:57 PM

Mostly it would be unpacking the mod and comparing the xml file against that of the current unpacked game xmls to see what the differences are and updating it that way

hushed lichen Sep 5, 2019, 10:14 PM

Is there a mod to make more than 1 ship land on landing pads in my bases ?

#

I want to become a trading post 🙂

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:21 PM

#

@dreamy tulip I've redone the tie fighters with primitive collisions.. so now you can stand on the cockpit pods, or on the wing tips.. but there's no more invisible platforms between wing tips.. lmk if you want the NEXT ready blend projects..

#

📎 20190516153748_1.jpg

#

@livid turret can't make more than one ship occupy a landing pad.. only way that's possible is to land your own ship on a landing pad that's occupied by an old ship you've just exchanged and no longer own.. unless they fixed that bug in Beyond..

#

the best you can do is change a global file so ships occupy all landing pads of a trade station instead of leaving 2~3 open at all times

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:23 PM

#

@cyan oracle Think hes talking about making ai ships recognize more than one landing pad at a base

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:24 PM

#

ah, that would be the latter fix then.. the global file adjustment

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:24 PM

if its possible, clues probably sitting in the old mod that stops them from doibng that at all lol

I just can't remember which global file it is.. tho I do remember it was a single line adjustment..

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:24 PM

this is from a mod that stops ais from landing at your pads at all

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:32 PM

anyway I dont think I can activate all of your other pads with what Ive seen here But I could perhaps fix the thing where every trade post launches a ship to low which proceeds to slam into the fucking station

meh i'm done messing with files for now, i'm just going to play. unhiding that scrollbar didn't do it, and i even copied the managefleet scrollbar over and that didn't show up lol. i'll have to take another look later

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:37 PM

#

changing FillUpOutposts to True will allow AI to occupy all landing pads at a base, this includes personal bases where AI will land at only one landing pad at a time (sometimes at random, but usually favoring a specific pad)

livid turret Sep 5, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

ohhhh

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

and from the quoted code, you can also change how many trader seeds there are in each system..

#

the middle value is how far from the station they ships circle when landing pads are occupied.. smaller the number, closer they circle..

livid turret Sep 5, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

ok now I jsut need to read a tutorial on makign a small mod 🙂 shouldnt be too hard I imagine jsut to change a value?

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

@cyan oracle was it set to one?

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:38 PM

#

@hushed bronze the quoted code is vanilla settings (out of NEXT files, remember, I haven't upgraded to Beyond yet)

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

I dont think thats it, but only a test can confirm 🙂

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

so it's likely possible it was changed between NEXT and now.. but unlikely.

hushed bronze Sep 5, 2019, 10:39 PM

#

I tested that launch distance does in fact change 😄 but it only affected buildable pads unsurprisingly

cyan oracle Sep 5, 2019, 10:40 PM

fluid wing Sep 6, 2019, 1:11 PM

the ui design as a whole is just terrible, not only the portal, everysingle menu you open is just a terrible design

#

you can tell they have more programmers than gui guys

spring timber Sep 6, 2019, 1:12 PM

#

i dont think so, I like the inventory as example
the only thing that is realy missing is a "waypoint" list

#

i just dont like it, then there is a ton of space, but you need some kind of information.
the text on the top right ui at the portal seems to be just a spaceholder.
and then you need that planet information (couse you play in VR and can't name ur bases as example) you have keep the system name in mind, close the portal ui, open the catograph ui and search a long time for the system

#

that is just hard anoying

left sentinel Sep 6, 2019, 1:21 PM

#

damn I don't think their gui is that bad

#

if anything their latest discovery page ui is much more straightforward to navigate through

#

the backpack and ship inventories are now more straightfoward with proper tabs instead of that weird 3 icon thing

#

only real issue are keybindings that conflict but that's a UX issue not a GUI one

#

compared to most other games, I've found navigating menus and inventories in NMS to be the easiest

Can you change what galaxy you are currently in with a mod or save editor?

spring timber Sep 6, 2019, 2:13 PM

@left sentinel sure its a have a nice design and its easy to use. But at some points is information and functions missing.

no galaxy map on planets
no information in the portal menu
no waypoint overview (there you can maybe disable beacons or another player base marker)
overview about ur ships / delelte ship
select which ship you want trade, then you see a good ship in a spacestation you can't buy it, without loosing your main ship
auto sort inventories

there is much improvment space

Primarily its a bit like clay. Give clay to a kid, they can make it into a figurine, give a artist clay and get a pot. The raw material is flexible as hell

#

Sometimes when you have time constraints, like a studio, they sorta have to aim a bit lower then the maximum the game can produce

I think this will be one of your first major releases in awhile right Rayrod?

In all honesty, I may not agree with some of your methodologies. As someone who creates myself though, I can respect people with different methods. We all produce differently

I dont think its the mods some people have issues with. Its more deeply personal then that often. Such as how you release your information, express yourself, who you are. Stuff they shouldnt necessarily make jabs at.

Personally I program in a modular style

So I release things in bits and bobs, so I need to plan far far ahead

So the system can be released and enjoyed slowly

Id discuss that in private sometime this weekend if you want. Rather good at dissecting stuff into pieces for release.

#

Its not something i persay recommend, just a thought practice perhaps

left sentinel Sep 6, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

he means you break your whole mod into separate mods and release them individually as and when they're ready

jolly stag Sep 6, 2019, 5:57 PM

#

Sometimes for instance you mite develop a system which is functional and the results arent to difficult to balance with future additions to the mod. So you get to release more modular bits over time.

#

Its akin to the methodology Subnautica used

#

Hrmm

#

Like I said, its not that i have a issue with releasing in large sections like Next and Beyond. I am just a proponent for modularity because it gives users a stream of content, which i personally enjoy far more.

#

I also find it easier to design projects modularlly

#

Though what your modding is far far... broader

#

nods

#

Another factor to why your probably developing the way you are is its a overhaul

#

As such, it tends to be a fair bit more difficult to release in modular pieces

#

I actually avoided overhauls for the most part, I mean as something id make. I didnt mind if the mods got used to , but i didnt have a singular vision.

#

I more saw, oh this mechanic is broken, ill make it different

#

then just went from one to the next

#

and in the end, produced a system as a whole

#

but that was more or less unintentional

@dreamy tulip Does that use a global fog, a weather-file fog, or something else?

is it utilizing the method behind the clouds or something else?

or maybe just has volumetric models?

#

NOW tell me why you killed that forest

#

oh damn the vid is olld huh

jolly stag Sep 6, 2019, 8:19 PM

#

Can those cloud models , such as the fog move?

#

The reason I ask was Ive always wondered if you could create a volcanio object, a fumarole and have steam come out.

#

Suppose that is in the game to a degree.

#

Well I got the idea when I was on a island world

#

It was.. quite a while back

#

Volcanic cones popping up out of the sea

#

very desert like plants

#

I kept thinking, man, all these need is steam coming out of the islands

#

except that is a terrain generation, not a prop

#

So im not sure how youd attach fog to a terrain generation, unless when certain terrains gen, you have a prop gen

#

Then again, I really dont understand NMS compared to MC

whole series of volcanic features inside

Man, that would be entrancing

Huh, even from a technical standpoint, that seems doeable

#

Ray, totally take that idea from me lol, all yours

#

The other thing Ive been hoping to see is ice features on ocean cold worlds

#

Ice bergs if you will

#

The more I think on it, Volcanic Features can be applied to all the biomes.

#

Ice ones could have blow holes in the ice that jet steam, deserts have mudpots, heated have volcanic cones though that can be found on all planet types

#

Sorta a subbiome layer

Always fun to postulate ideas

Its ok, its just part of the disease I have and it isnt getting much worse when it comes to memory disorder symptoms

but it wont ever get better

It just ... is

#

Fundamentally I get the concepts of the code, learning new stuff and processing the skills to do new things, nearly impossible

#

Which is odd, I can learn some things still and retain stuff. But its almost at a instinctual level i guess

#

Like gardening

#

shrugs

#

Plants are easy anyways

#

provide the correct soil, heat cycle, light cycle, food and moisture cycle

#

I saw cycle because all plants essentially have periods where they need change

#

a plant cant always be wet or dry

#

it needs both

#

Since a plant breathes oxygen and carbon dioxide

#

it simply produces more oxygen then it consumes

modest lintel Sep 6, 2019, 9:02 PM

yeah that'd be nice, i have a crap ton of solar panels setup for each of my bases. gets awkward when they're clustered too close and you hit construction limit if they're too close together so you have to lay them out a bit better lol

This really happened. Atlas won. It rebooted the simulation as it always does wehn it feels a reason to, and made sure that, this time, the sentinels would kick the intelligent races asses early on, cripple their ability to be a threat in future generations of the universe

prime jasper Sep 7, 2019, 12:18 AM

one thing that doesnt make sense to me in this game is that when you fly your ship the player characters hands arent on the control sticks, i mean they should really make it so it is will add more realism

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 3:43 AM

#

I did not read that very closely BUT I will still reccommend that you don't change the planet positioning in any way. It shifts the location of the space station which pretty much guarantees that trying to take off in a ship will be glitched and not work properly, makes a bad impression on the poor sap player lol

#

I knew you were smarter than that 😄

#

I spotted an asteroid change thats why I mentioned

#

I got asteroids to form into flat ribbons if you care about something like that

#

📎 Asteroid_Ribbons.pak

#

It has mostly to do with making the noise pattern insanely high scaled, then having the min/max variance very tight

#

TBH its too high scaled in that version but w/e you're a smart fella 😄

#

This part is what presses them into sheets

#

making those #'s close together

#

too close and they vanish though lol

#

because it doesn't move the attempted asteroid spawning points with that but rather just nixes any that fail the check

#

or something like that

#

Its a lot cooler than you might think

#

the asteroids aren't flat, they just group up in pseudo belts

#

That mod has a station shift, the very thing I recommended against

#

youve been warned 😛

#

I did mine to flatten the "Orbit plane" mostly cuz Im blind and drifting around looking for missing planets I cant find pisses me off

#

Fuckin hell thats actually absurdly cool

#

Just take over the whole game with a polished version of that 😄

#

Hey I feel like its possible, havent played with it

#

is it possible to erase the stupid image based cloud completely and make the game render the volumetric one at any range?

#

You sure do things the hard way lol

#

but goddamn if you didnt make a Spore planet

#

One thing I like about the tiny planet is that you can actually be familiar with the whole planet

#

Cool I always wanted to drive planets

#

ofc the first thing you di after landing is tell your freighter captain some coordinates that get everyone killed, just for laughs

How would large asteroid planets be distributed though

this is a idea in general for planets

#

uber large and small

#

Hrmm, yeah that would be immensely fun!

I could almost imagine a truly immense world with tiny moons

#

Not to say its to bad as is

What if you were to have a super rare chance of finding a planet that is a near 1:1 scale of earth

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:43 AM

I have not really explored redmas's worlds

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:04 PM

I will let you know if you like as I explore more

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:04 PM

#

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:04 PM

wish i could have both though 🙂

prime jasper Sep 7, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

@hushed lichen i used his sub biome amd it doesnt really change as you explore the planer everything is well really nicely blended together

#

Planet

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

Well, try vanilla, redmas and Exo on it's own on the same spot where you saved, put more __ on the Exo one then more __ on the redmas one when you run both and see if there is a difference?

prime jasper Sep 7, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

Like on a lush planet you will see grass then sand mixed with it or have exotic type plants or rotten world plants etc

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:08 PM

#

By more I meant _

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

So I do have one question about making one mod a priority over another. If mod A has more ___ than mod B, does A load before B and B overwrites A, or does A become the most important and overrides B?

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

A is primary

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Sure hope Ray got some sleep last night lol, saw how late he was on

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

Ooh I see @prime jasper thank you. -- And @leaden laurel that;'s a great idea will try it

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:09 PM

#

B will just add what A does not have

#

In general as I understand it

prime jasper Sep 7, 2019, 5:10 PM

#

I like the sub biome it makes for a very interesting planet

#

@hushed lichen oh but it doesnt change the atmosphere of planets or change planet descriptions so if you landed on a toxic planet but the mod made it look more lush then toxic looking it will still have toxic air and storms

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:12 PM

#

But lets say for instance A and B both edits PRECEDING_KEY_WORDS, A will take priority. But A and B could edit the same file, but A could edit for instance PRECEDING_KEY_WORDS and B MATH_OPERATION, then both will load into the game.

#

Again, I think this is how it works. Modders will hopefully correct me if im wrong lol

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:22 PM

#

Yes I found it, redmas used the mountain zones as his subbiomes. A fine way to do it 🙂

#

Multiple custom cave variants here, too

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:26 PM

#

That is awesome

#

That will help you up variety a ton exo

#

😄

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:28 PM

#

Well tbh I already had the thought, but had not bothered trying it yet. Yesterday what I discovered was what you might call "true" sub biomes, which is actually less tru in practice since it's whole-planet in nature lol

#

This enabled me to make possibility of harmless-rain lush planets without removing regular harmful rain, and to correlate weather-type filters with the actual weather types

#

Woah I wonder if subbiomes can fuck up the weather!

#

like the ones redmas used I mean

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

my biggest problem with nms is the planet being the biome. I feel like they reeally dropped the ball on that. There just isn't a reason to explore.

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

Yeah it seems like a self-inflictive design

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:29 PM

#

I find myself dropping onto a new planet, spending like 15 minutes there, then leaving.

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

There are interesting tricks you can do with a little more attention to process

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

Yeah, I havent had that issue, but different focus on different aspects.

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

like I had this screwball idea I havent tested yet that I call "Treewall planet"

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

Im still finding little things that differ, but even I think there could be a lot more variety

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:30 PM

#

i keep telling myself ok this time i'm going to spend rtime and make an awesome base! but then I never do because I just find the planets boring after a few minutes there so never want to spend that long on one.

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:31 PM

#

its simple.... you can give trees a min-max spawning height.
Crank their density way up and lock their height to like... 80.0 - 80.2 and you should have them lining up like topographical maps

#

I used a similar method to make asteroids form in ribbons lol

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:32 PM

#

haha

#

Never had that issue

#

After i found my desert ocean world

#

The sheer diversity of reefs, glowing cave systems, the forests and desert flats

#

I think out of 10000 planets, ill get one that just screams stay

#

Finding a entire system worth staying in, thats tricky

#

I think it took me, 300 hours to find the right one

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:37 PM

#

Found this cave thatr went on forever on a same old same old lush moon, never seen such a big one. I was in that cave for a hour plus lol, then I hit patches of water etc...., glowing stuff on the roof of the cave, to the sides and so. Was quite awesome.

So I guess if you dig a bit deeper regarding cave exploration, it could pay off. I regret not making a outpost base there to travel back.

#

In 3rd person view, quite big.

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:40 PM

#

well i played around with the two and have decided to have both, but make extra biomes have higher priority.

#

i make lots of outposts, no real bases

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

Well fantasy gen and Extra pretty much wont work partially with the other because they both have BIOME files as well as a BIOMELIST file, which are like biome-type directories. Even if all of the the different biomeobject files aren't cancelled out, they will never be referenced because the directory has been cancelled out

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:42 PM

#

I do appreciate both @lime mesa and @hushed bronze staying close to vanilla biomes / having separate options for vanilla biomes. As I group play a lot it's a necessity for me, so again thank you guys. 🙂

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

I like Exos mod primarily because it doesnt destroy the existing mods. It just adds layers to them. The fundamental reason for all the planets being so similar is actually part of the lore. However, sub types, perfectly fine for me

#

Now Rayrods idea, would require a completely new install probably, since id be starting a completely different lore outlook

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:43 PM

#

Well, redmas's does that too

#

Ray's mods are insane, fuckin next-level

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

Ive never actually tried redmas;s stuff, no offense redmas

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

ever decompile one of those? Holy god damn

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:44 PM

#

Well, rayrod changes gameplay mechanics. Which I geniunely didnt like the first time through in his old stuff. I like the way life support and such works

#

But visually, amazing

#

I just dont like 90 percent of overhauls, they make to many things easy and I lose the overall feel of nms

#

It just feels.. washed out

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:45 PM

#

@jolly stag I switch between @lime mesa and @hushed bronze almost daily. They both are unique in their own way. it's like having a blonde and brunette girlfriend who both has stunning bodies. 😄

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 5:46 PM

#

Since i play with friends a lot i cant really do that

#

Lol

#

THey need to see what i see

#

to rp

#

Otherwise, its useless

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

That might sound a bit sexist, I wanted to go with it's like owning a Ferrari and Lamborghini, but in this case most people would prefer one to the other brand wise lol. So apologies to the ladies here, trying to make a simple example for the men here. 😄

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:47 PM

#

yeah I suspect i am going to wind up with different saves, one exo and one redmas. But doing it this way with exo's having priority I am still getting redmas's gameplay changes. Like the random gun and ship

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

Yeah you will only miss out if mod A and B edits the same string in a file.

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

which i like

#

i mean i like the starting with random gun and ship

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

Then you will get what Mod A edits and the edit of B will be ignored.

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:48 PM

#

redmas's rocket pack is much better too

#

But there is definitely some landscape changing happening in Fantasy, despite it saying there isn't. When I took it out my ship was parked 20 feet off the ground and I was standing in the air too so plummeted for half my health

leaden laurel Sep 7, 2019, 5:49 PM

#

Well, which one did you load?

#

You get the fantasy one that overhauls a lot and you get the vanilla fantasy one

hushed lichen Sep 7, 2019, 5:50 PM

i thought both avoided landscaping changes

#

__NMS_BEYOND_Fantasy_by_Redmas does 🙂

modest lintel Sep 7, 2019, 6:20 PM

#

Sometimes I'm unable to place wires/pipes but I have a theory it might be either a bug, or related to too many objects/certain type of objects placed in too small of an area

#

My solution to that has been to just delete what I was doing and slowly rebuild out

@cyan oracle its the whole power system thing they added with beyond. solar planels, biofuel generators(extreme eater of carbon/condensed carbon), and electromagnectic hotspot thing they added with the visor thing

modest lintel Sep 7, 2019, 6:52 PM

median wasp Sep 7, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

My major issue with wiring is the update speed.

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

THey need tethers. So you can latch the wires into wall corners, force them to be straight

median wasp Sep 7, 2019, 6:52 PM

#

I made a reddit post on this but I tried to make a 2-bit adder, the xnor took approx 5 seconds to update its output on average

jolly stag Sep 7, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

A simple prop you plop on the wall

#

Exo, you think you could do a wire tether mod?

median wasp Sep 7, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

and you need two of those gates + 3 AND gates (which take 1 second to update a piece)

#

at the very least it'd take 10 seconds to get a result

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

The wires are probably slow on updating for the same reason MC servers restrict how often redstone things check and how many "ticks happen per ssecnod/minute

median wasp Sep 7, 2019, 6:53 PM

#

yea

#

I think part of it has to do with the power system and how there's units of power

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

probably

#

Damn INT VALUES

median wasp Sep 7, 2019, 6:54 PM

#

If NMS added a logical power system (no actual power needed, it's just like redstone) then had a sort of "bridge gate" transistor sort of thing which allowed actual power to go through, it could probably be faster

modest lintel Sep 7, 2019, 6:55 PM

#

the big annoyance for me is when i want to make a somewhat big harvesting depot, and suddenly i can't connect wires/pipes because apparently too many objects or something

hushed bronze Sep 7, 2019, 6:55 PM

ye cannot design a system using int values and then make basic things that use the limit of the int values. just... problems, bad control
