But

#

Is gerb playable

upbeat aurora
#

will be

native sapphire
#

Poggers

#

I'll add a map series where you fight the player back

#

Ok

upbeat aurora
#

no not in campaign

#

in custom game yes

native sapphire
#

Nooo

#

This mod is going to be so good when it's finished

#

I hope you don't get burnt out

upbeat aurora
#

the grind mustnt stop

native sapphire
#

Hey, I'll grind out maps for you to use also

#

Make it the best mod

rotund cove
#

Oh no they are evolving

viscid belfry
#

port to java

#

eternal happiness

short night
formal tangle
#

the fuse one goes crazy

viscid belfry
#

oversized baneling

upbeat aurora
#

gerb

viscid belfry
#

baneling

upbeat aurora
viscid belfry
#

maybe

#

still look like one to me

loud badge
#

Maybe gerbling abdomens could be like a weird half-starfish shape

upbeat aurora
#

I dont see the similarities other than the fact it is but and the colors

upbeat aurora
north goblet
#

this are some sick units

#

just need to change sfx

#

or not

#

depends on u

#

op

#

fuse unit just pierces and can walk over walls?

#

either not make them pierce, or not make them walk walls

native sapphire
formal tangle
upbeat aurora
#

liberator and deliverance

#

deliverance is the same size as conquer

#

liberator is comparable to precept

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

fair enough but I didn't do nothing

#

yet

upbeat aurora
#

btw giving the player pesticides too

formal tangle
#

this is ressembling vietnam more and more

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

you gotta tell me how you coded those tracks

#

I ain't got nothing that good, or gotten even close to that

#

they look so good wtf

upbeat aurora
#

when I release 2.0 you can look at them

formal tangle
#

when v2

upbeat aurora
#

when I get stuff done

formal tangle
#

I'm not pressing you anyway

#

I got no time to work on phobos

#

and I'm focused on turrets and blocks first

upbeat aurora
#

so far the Gerb has 8 units (some I havnt shown)

formal tangle
#

the gerb is defo something I wanna look forward to

#

their units look huggable

upbeat aurora
#

btw the heavy looks like this now

formal tangle
#

a bit messy shown like this

upbeat aurora
#

bc thats their style

formal tangle
#

I can't figure out what part is what when not moving ot without the outline

#

yeah ik ik

#

just saying

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

yeah the outline really makes it way better

upbeat aurora
#

just realized the leg is wrong

formal tangle
#

it's rotated isn't it

upbeat aurora
#

yep

formal tangle
#

he chunky

upbeat aurora
#

anyways the infantry is almost done

#

going to work on drop pods now

formal tangle
#

looking good

upbeat aurora
#

oh I can tell gerb buildings are going to be fun

formal tangle
#

rock

#

shaped pebble

upbeat aurora
#

funny things are gonna happen

#

rn the gerbs are kinda dying on impact

upbeat aurora
native sapphire
#

The gerbs are going to be dangerous

upbeat aurora
#

campaign use only sadly

native sapphire
#

Nice

#

Can you put it into levels?

#

Also I know exactly how to make gerble bases

upbeat aurora
#

Just gerb

native sapphire
#

Can you make a wall called "sandbag"?

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
native sapphire
formal tangle
#

yoo what's going on

#

ohhh the drop pod

#

I get it

#

that's nice

#

that's defo unusual, I like it

native sapphire
#

I think that either exogenesis or project unity has something similar to it

north goblet
#

...right?

north goblet
#

๐Ÿ˜ฑ

upbeat aurora
still prism
upbeat aurora
still prism
#

What

#

Thx

upbeat aurora
#

Gerb structures will be put on hold

#

v2 is taking long enough

#

I will finish the units and that is all

viscid belfry
#

Zerggy structure

upbeat aurora
#

they will use something similar to concrete

formal tangle
#

bile rocks thing

viscid belfry
#

๐Ÿงฑ

upbeat aurora
#

they arent zerg

viscid belfry
#

Fair enogh

upbeat aurora
#

structures will look similar to this

formal tangle
#

looks a bit crooked

#

that's great

#

they'll look so much more organic that the usually perfect structures we have

upbeat aurora
#

the whole fact is that these species arent advanced. They are just stealing tech from the bots

formal tangle
#

me when it comes to mod making

upbeat aurora
#

we destroyed their world and they arent just going to die

formal tangle
#

I'm sure we can some to an agreement

upbeat aurora
#

the fact they are sustaining only on cloning. Most likely not

formal tangle
upbeat aurora
#

I assembled that sprite in 3 minutes

formal tangle
#

can't tell really

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

if they have one at this point

formal tangle
#

intense munching noises

short night
#

me no want kill you

upbeat aurora
#

unforgivable

native sapphire
#

Ngl the gerbs are already going to lose if they are using cloning

formal tangle
#

genetic diversity down the drain lmao

upbeat aurora
#

thats why we have pesticides

formal tangle
#

unless they're very prone to mutation or have self splicing dna, they're cooked

upbeat aurora
#

and a special turret just for gerbs

upbeat aurora
#

which yknow

formal tangle
#

oh I meant without even your presence, they can't adapt fr

formal tangle
upbeat aurora
#

solution: dont stop cloning for a second

#

also the fact that the first core they will have will have 50 unit cap

#

says a lot

formal tangle
#

the swarm

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

question

#

the infantry looked very distinguishably shaped like an insect with legs on the side eyes and everythin

#

what's this then ?

#

where eyes etc

#

or is it like a vehicle

upbeat aurora
#

vehicle

formal tangle
#

does it drop infantry when shot down

#

idek if you can do that in json

upbeat aurora
#

I can do that bug they are remote controlled

#

btw gerblings are not young but rather genetically modified to be weaker faster and for scouting purposes

formal tangle
#

oh I see

#

a bit like bees

#

some strong, some durable, some weak af

#

depending on roles

formal tangle
upbeat aurora
#

only advanced in cloning since thats the only thing that THEY have accomplished

#

not stolen

formal tangle
#

cloning is great though

#

might also be 100% thanks to evolution alone

upbeat aurora
#

or the fact we destroyed their entire species

#

only ones left are clones

#

kind of a neccessity to start cloning

formal tangle
#

oi who did that

#

I didn't

upbeat aurora
#

whar

upbeat aurora
#

we also look very similar to the green bois

#

except yellow

formal tangle
#

oh we can be related but it's not under sharded command yknow

upbeat aurora
#

we are also inheritly harmful to the environment

#

the machines creates lots of pollution yk

formal tangle
#

just permanent radioactive waste everywhere

#

I got kicked off my own fucking forum post

upbeat aurora
#

no mainly a huge rise in PH from sodium refinement

formal tangle
#

how

formal tangle
#

or tantros

upbeat aurora
#

tantros

formal tangle
#

no tantros is where you farm sodium ofc

#

but what if you choose to be super eco friendly

upbeat aurora
#

then green kills you

#

the gerb doesnt care

#

you look exacty like the green faction that kills them off so they will remove you from the equation too

formal tangle
#

eco-friendly
killed by green
sounds about right ๐Ÿ˜‚

formal tangle
#

I think my main point, and this is asking for a lot is, it'd be cool to be able to make choices in order to avoid provoking the gerbs and maybe rallying them to you/be in better terms ?

upbeat aurora
#

you and the gerb arent allies

formal tangle
#

but they look so cute I wanna be fren ๐Ÿ˜ญ

upbeat aurora
#

you will find out soon enough this wasnt the first planet

#

plan on linking them to the derelict structures on serp

formal tangle
#

oooo

upbeat aurora
#

lil bomber and big bomber

#

about to finish the rest of gerb units

formal tangle
#

then I can yoink your track code ๐Ÿ™
(with due credit dw, you're already mentionned everywhere in phobos code)

upbeat aurora
#

deliverance was given pd

formal tangle
#

๐Ÿ‘ that's the good stuff fr

upbeat aurora
#

also heavy gerb looks a little too crude

#

I want these to look not as advanced but not caveman stuff

formal tangle
#

just looks more armored

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

I will show in a sec

native sapphire
formal tangle
#

looks better tbh

narrow nimbus
#

No way

#

Lore

upbeat aurora
# narrow nimbus Lore

not really lore more ike "you cant hug them becuase they hate you because you look like the green dudes"

narrow nimbus
#

I see

still prism
thorny quiver
#

i thought the gerb are the main enemies

#

so who are the green guys again?

viscid belfry
#

baneling

thorny quiver
#

other than the gerb

#

i thought we had another malis in tantros

upbeat aurora
viscid belfry
#

burble

upbeat aurora
#

legalize nuclear bombs

rotund cove
#

kaboom?

native sapphire
#

I should have to right to make a nuke in my backyard

upbeat aurora
#

actually an orbita laser would be cool

formal tangle
upbeat aurora
#

strong enough laser

rotund cove
#

tatros would just evaporate

formal tangle
#

yeah the issue is diffraction, not power

#

you'd be straight up heating the water

#

on a very large area

upbeat aurora
#

certain wavelengths can pass through like blue-green

#

you can actually shoot a laser through oil if you get it right

rotund cove
#

i doubt that

formal tangle
#

wavelength or not I was thinking of going from air into water, especially different water density, it's gonna cause refraction too

#

idk I just like optics too much probably

upbeat aurora
#

not really

#

like I said

#

get it right water wont matter

#

the waves hit the basalt surface and heats it instead

formal tangle
#

i'm pretty certain it will from what I studied

#

but it's manageable yes

#

you can predict the angle if the surface of the water is clean enough and the water temperature somewhat constant

upbeat aurora
#

tantros water really isnt that clean and its still for the most part

#

water temp isnt an issue

formal tangle
#

you'd still lose a ton of power though, that laser would be boiling the seas to deal any damage to the depth

#

being still is good

#

cause otherwise you'd have interferences and it'd be a whole mess of friendly fire

upbeat aurora
#

I do plan on it colliding with teams

viscid belfry
#

Nuclear launch detected sound effect in mindusy

formal tangle
#

how deep are tantros oceans

viscid belfry
#

๐ŸงŒ

#

Yes

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

if it's shallow laser is a good idea

upbeat aurora
#

hence why coral can grow

formal tangle
#

cause that means light is still usable

viscid belfry
#

Mutated coral that grow deep underwater

#

๐ŸงŒ

upbeat aurora
#

tantros isnt that deep

#

Id say VastShallows is the most shallow due to having the most coral

#

if anything tantros is unbeleivably shallow due to rays of light showing all the time

native sapphire
#

Does that mean that coral and gabbro wouldn't fit on the same map?

upbeat aurora
#

they will

#

gabbro is just volcanic rock

viscid belfry
#

Slag ๐Ÿค‘

upbeat aurora
#

if you notice the symbol and the serpulo color palette you know what is happening

upbeat aurora
earnest garden
#

What is the enemy faction in tantros (team blue or green)?

rotund cove
rotund cove
earnest garden
#

Thank you

earnest garden
#

I will try to make a logo for this team

rotund cove
earnest garden
#

Does this work for the enemy Tantros team, or should I do something else?

native sapphire
#

Insulated pipes

native sapphire
# rotund cove huh

Impact 0078, the gerbs must have been on the ship and crashed into serpulo

#

They all probably died due to spore

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

also thats more closer to the gerb

native sapphire

vital shell
#

No way, best campaign mod

#

Love this thing

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

this mod is starting to bloat bad btw

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

dense alloy add more damage but less reload

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

It wonโ€™t target air soon however

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

holdon gotta do it real quick before I forget /:

#

6k characters

upbeat aurora
#

tantros test may be moving to a new forum due to the new name and 2.0 release (soon)

native sapphire
#

I'm ready to start mapping again

upbeat aurora
#

there has been tons of progress

#

Im going through the proccess of redoing older things

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

not yet

#

rotary drill will get the same treatment

native sapphire
#

Including a magma power source

upbeat aurora
#

CURRENT CHANGES

  • hydroxide reactor resprite fx and consume tweaks
  • pyridine sequencing reactor resprite fx
  • drills new fx and tweaks
  • geothermal generator fx and resprite
#

also siphon bridges no longer can transmit power

native sapphire
#

Are you going to make a 3x3 drone depot?

upbeat aurora
#

thre already is it just sucks

upbeat aurora
#

also hydroxide reactor no longer explodes when full

#

instead just being hazardous

#

by the way the annoyance of the cutoff edges not lining up are being fixed but takes a while and Id rather wait to get to them first

viscid belfry
#

hazardous

upbeat aurora
short night
viscid belfry
#

greb

upbeat aurora
native sapphire
#

Vent cover thing

#

And maybe new map

#

That's all I can pull from it rn

upbeat aurora
native sapphire
#

Nice

#

Gabbro is my favorite palette too

upbeat aurora
#

more akin to coral but ehh

#

turns out rockweed is an existing algea...

#

mine is a different rockweed

native sapphire
#

Or whatever they are called

#

Pincers

upbeat aurora
#

btw the hydroxide concentrator no longer tells you to kill your--

#

and due to balancing reasons reaction heater was buffed to make twice as much sodium

#

and it no longer stops when full of hydrogen

#

the amount of hydroxide concentrators to reaction heaters are now 1:2

#

schemes should now be simpler but the reaction heater should now consume power

#

concentrator to hydrox reactor is now 4:1

#

also debating on removing oxide completely from tantros

#

only use for it is metaglass

upbeat aurora
#

hydrox reactor now consumes gallium instead of oxide

native sapphire
#

So many changes

upbeat aurora
#

these are just the balancing changes

upbeat aurora
#

refines nitrogen from pyridine at a very very fast rate

#

blast kiln no longer needs oxide

#

also needs 2 cultivation chambers

native sapphire
#

Huh?

#

Hydroxide?

upbeat aurora
#

no hydroxide needed

#

just no oxide in tantros anymore

#

eheheheh

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

utterly useless

#

theres no reason other than hydrox reactors and metaglass

#

and if anything its there to clog the cultivation chambers

native sapphire
#

Fair enough

#

I kinda liked it as an element though

#

I thought that metaglass requiring a resource outside of lead/sand made it more interesting to craft

#

And it also complimented hydroxide reactors with the dual output of pryrodine

#

Where you could get multiple types of power sources out of it

upbeat aurora
#

let me show you by what I mean btw

#

with the unique turret base

native sapphire
#

I know what it is

#

I would just prefer them to be the same

upbeat aurora
#

ahh yes Ill make another resource that makes more power for an already busted power source

native sapphire
#

True

#

But it was a fact

upbeat aurora
native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

more just showing why it was removed

#

pyridine still complements hydrox reactor but in turn many more things now take pyridine

native sapphire
#

Pyridine is op

#

Honestly, I would probably say more but I have no idea about all the changes you are making

#

You've probably said them all but I'll forget one or the other

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

nitrogen?

native sapphire
#

Yeah

upbeat aurora
#

about 45 on 100%

native sapphire
#

Did you nerf it?

upbeat aurora
#

135 when 300%

#

a lil

native sapphire
#

It was either 90 or 60 nitro a second

#

Also I see that you did get the toomanyitems mod

upbeat aurora
#

useful for determining ratios

native sapphire
#

Very useful

#

Yes

upbeat aurora
native sapphire
#

Hmmmm

#

Hey, what if instead of using a t2 to make the t3 you just outright build the t3 with more resources

upbeat aurora
#

thats for t4

native sapphire
#

You just outright build t4s?

#

No prior units?

upbeat aurora
#

no t3's

#

thats the plan anyways

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

no why?

native sapphire
#

It just seems like it's a bit low to make a higher tier unit

upbeat aurora
#

every t3 reconstructed is about 30 seconds

native sapphire
#

I was thinking about erekir

upbeat aurora
#

erikirs t3's are more powerful however

#

and cost way less

#

bullet colors now affect the light color

#

minor stuffs

native sapphire
#

Cool

upbeat aurora
#

also I am indenting the code for other peoples readability as others happen to use my mod for a reference @formal tangle

upbeat aurora
# upbeat aurora

Putting this reply here for the people to see since I dont have pin privilages

upbeat aurora
#

new algal carpet sprite

#

should shale and feldspar vents be added?

upbeat aurora
# upbeat aurora

with the votes being entirely even I will give each turret new bases

#

I was leaning towards it a little anyways

upbeat aurora
#

all turrets done

#

walls will also be receiving a buff

#

along with new ones

native sapphire
#

Without a doubt

upbeat aurora
#

ok working on that after I do a bit of a deviate cleanup

#

this includes indenting btw

upbeat aurora
#

btw fragBullet and bullet damage were accidentally reversed

formal tangle
#

oh yeah I was about to comment on that

#

gotta say, all of this is coming along to look hella clean

upbeat aurora
#

whats your opinion on the unique turret bases btw

formal tangle
#

I'm all for it, as someone with poor eyesight when tired, this helps a LOT for readability

upbeat aurora
#

it surely helps me recognize which turrets are and are not

formal tangle
#

and they all look very fitting

upbeat aurora
#

thr edge cuttoff also are all the same (:

formal tangle
#

which is very satisfying :D

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

everything aligns ๐Ÿ™

upbeat aurora
#

these are my favourite

#

when the conveyor perfectly alligns with the indents

#

other than nitride ammo

formal tangle
#

looking good

#

a bit silent

upbeat aurora
#

still have yet to make audio for it

formal tangle
#

makes sense then

#

apart from that I fancy the firing animation

#

the converging lasers makes it feel like a precision tool

upbeat aurora
#

turret should have some too

wraith wharf
upbeat aurora
wraith wharf
#

i dont see one in the video

#

thats why

upbeat aurora
#

There is

upbeat aurora
wraith wharf
#

oh i see it now

upbeat aurora
formal tangle
#

idk what that does ๐Ÿ™
looks fire tho

upbeat aurora
#

I would sy het if my key beside the S key wont stop dying on me

formal tangle
#

ranaimiddle coding without an A challenge

short night
upbeat aurora
#

Rn itโ€™s working

formal tangle
#

chad

viscid belfry
#

We all do crtl v crtl c

#

Even in bava ๐ŸงŒ

formal tangle
#

paste first copy later

#

me after putting the wildest insta reel link in the middle of my effect class

vivid lava
#

on some keyboards there's a bind to swap arrow keys and wasd

upbeat aurora
#

thats screenshot

#

and I had filter keys on AND sticky keys

vivid lava
#

was it fn + w?

upbeat aurora
#

that closed discord

vivid lava
#

fun

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

It will mine faster btw

#

Iโ€™m having to balance over overdrive terminus and substations

upbeat aurora
#

balanced drilling for the injection well

#

hydrogen chloride factories will be changed too

vivid lava
upbeat aurora
#

Easy to make with hydroxide

vivid lava
#

if there's a leak then would we actually just be using stomach acid to disolve the rock

#

cause the gas itself isn't an "acid", but it's still corrosive
I don't want to go into proton donation and electrovolt potential here

upbeat aurora
#

Itโ€™s kinda a mixture of high pressure, drills and injecting the stuff into the rubble

vivid lava
#

ight that makes sense

formal tangle
#

we're becoming flies with this one

viscid belfry
#

dissolve tantros ๐ŸงŒ

upbeat aurora
upbeat aurora
#

ratio changes
-electrolysis cell to injection well: 1:5
-clarifier to hydrox reactor: 2:1 (same with clarifier to electrolysis cell)
-hydrox reactor to electrolysis cell: 1:1 (electrolysis cell now takes hydrogen)
Power usage has also been increased onto several blocks to balance power generation

#

A lot of expensive block costs has been reduced to prevent the lead famine in the beggining

#

drills were also buffed

#

Reactors WILL NOT be able to be overdriven

#

this is to prevent me having to balance around them even more

#

also the fusion reactor will be getting the nerf of a lifetime

#

instead will be turned into a heater

#

nerfed to oblivion

#

Forgot to reduce pyridine output

#

Liquid cap will also be increased

#

Will also require duralumin to make

upbeat aurora
#

tantros test 2.0 Is almost finished and just needs t3's to be finished and then bundles to finish it off

#

3/4 t3's finished

viscid belfry
#

โ›ˆ๏ธ

upbeat aurora
#

It's lunch now

#

Anyways

native sapphire
upbeat aurora
#

Ive gotta count but quite a bit

native sapphire
#

Nice

#

The pre duralimin gameplay will be fleshed out

upbeat aurora
#

Redoing the maps takes a little bit so the 2.0 update wonโ€™t be done until later today

#

It also gives me a chance to revise changes

upbeat aurora
#

Should I release 2.0 then implement the maps afterwards so You all can test it while maps are being rebuilt?

#

and maybe help if you want to do so

#

I also need people to bugtest

#

@native sapphire this is mostly your decision since a lot of them are your maps

upbeat aurora
