[zenith kernel]

Christmas is upon us. My christmas holdiay of 2 weeks has begun. Yippeas

[zenith kernel]

Just wanted to notify everyone here that tommorow I will be working on some factories for the new resources in the mod.

I haven't been very active on developmemt so why not become active now!

[versed magnet]

hm

[zenith kernel]

Now I think about it. I'm just making random factories. I have not thought out any resource progresssion at all

[zenith kernel]

Change of plans. I need to finish respriting raporanus. Its been a week

However. Here is one factory

[zenith kernel]

Half complete be upon ye

[zenith kernel]

Yar. Complete be upon ye!

[subtle tulip]

hmm

omoora

[zenith kernel]

mmmh. They are beautiful!

[subtle tulip]

yea

[zenith kernel]

Alrighty. I've added the ability to make them in the naval fabricater and the refabricators

[subtle tulip]

noice

[zenith kernel]

It is now playable and everyone can have fun with new naval units in the campaign when they wish!

(Side not: They are currently not connected to the serpulo research tree or any research tree so they will be auto unlocked)

I am proud that I have resprited and fixed the code of my first units.

[bronze scaffold]

It's JS?

This made with JavaScript?

[bronze scaffold]

Looks amazing

[zenith kernel]

No this is made with Hjson. Somehow. Don't even ask me

[bronze scaffold]

Oh I get it

Override all constructors?

[zenith kernel]

Yep

[bronze scaffold]

Good job, can't say anything

[zenith kernel]

The constructors were the easiest part. It was fixing code that didn't work and respriting that was the biggest challenge for me

[bronze scaffold]

Oh

[zenith kernel]

Yeah it works fine now. I'm working on the ramming abilities

[bronze scaffold]

Good

The only time when I encountered override, was when I reworked betterustry

Btw, you should get the role of a modder. Of course, if your mod has 10 or more stars on Github

[zenith kernel]

It has 4 right now

[zenith kernel]

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn

Would you be willing to donate one star?

[bronze scaffold]

Yes, why not?

[zenith kernel]

Thank you! It'll make me happier seeing as I've been flamed for using chimera to make the boats even though I haven't.

[zenith kernel]

The factories of today

[subtle tulip]

noice

[zenith kernel]

YIPPEA, CHRISTMAS IS UPON US🎄

[zenith kernel]

I tried my hand at a two toned factory. Whatdya think?

[subtle tulip]

hmm

gug

[south rose]

wait

its Aureus sprite right?

[zenith kernel]

No this is not aureus' sprite. It sure was inspired but I have not taken his sprite and recoloured it

[south rose]

oki

cool

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

Yers

[zenith kernel]

Yippea. I have new pc. Yippea

Now I can sprite and mod much faster. Yippea

[subtle tulip]

yayy!!!!

[zenith kernel]

I can also play games without lag. YIPPEA!

[atomic crater]

WOOOO, NICE!!

[zenith kernel]

Umm so. I transferred all my data from my old laptop to my pc but piskel wasn't working. I redownloaded it and for some reason everything looked more desaturated than usual. I know it wasn't the screens contrast because it wasn't changed at all. I got told by someone that piskel desaturated everything they made. Are the newer versions of piskel desaturating colours or am I geeked?

[zenith kernel]

It doesn't even matter about piskel anymore. I figured out I could get minecraft java on my new pc and have been playing create mod for 2 days straight and do not plan on stopping.

[wide rampart]

Donated a one star

[zenith kernel]

A donation?!?! From the ArchiveDustry creator? Thank you!!!!!!

[wide rampart]

Oh yas

[zenith kernel]

This makes me want to stop playing create mod and do some work on my mod

[atomic crater]

and 1 star for the mod .c.

[zenith kernel]

More donations!?!? Thank you!!!!!

[zenith kernel]

Are these different colours for anyone? I need to know because I swear I'm going insane

[zenith kernel]

What if you wanted square factory but modder said. Rectangle!

[subtle tulip]

nop

[subtle tulip]

uhm...

[tame tide]

+1 star

[zenith kernel]

Oh my god. More donations! Thank you!

[tame tide]

so java develop or json develop bro :V ?

[zenith kernel]

Json. It is a pain in the ass to get things working sometimes

[tame tide]

:v oh

i really want to try C# mindy mod

[zenith kernel]

I have been playing cteate mod for 5 days straight. I think I'm addicted

I have made my own modpack just to play it more and have taken an entire day to design a farmers delight hamburger factory then to gather materials in my survival world for the schematic to be made.

I still have to wait for the schematic cannon to make the factory and then I need to design the outside and aesthetics of the factory.

That will be done on day 6 of my create mod addiction

[subtle tulip]

lmao

[zenith kernel]

Got any suggestions for factories I should make?

[subtle tulip]

idk

[zenith kernel]

I need to add fuel to my addiction.

I'm already planning on making a four in one, cobblestone, stone, iron and andesite alloy farm. Which could be further expanded to make more stuff

But now I think that back I need a huge steam boiler plant to fuel all the rpm and stress that the hamburger factory needs nevermind another factory

[versed magnet]

huh

[zenith kernel]

I'm still playing create mod if you wanted to know. More than a week. I haven't got my damned steam boiler set up because I'm waiting for my infinite lava source to fill up. So I've been building farms to schematic into the world later.

I might do a little bit of spriting to distract myself from my imminent create mod technological breakthroughs

[versed magnet]

💀

[zenith kernel]

You remember that weird ass long factory I made. I finished it!

So I made some edits to the left side of the factory. How's it lookin?

[atomic crater]

ooooooo

nice .c.

[zenith kernel]

Made yet another edit. This time to the middle decal

[subtle tulip]

how it gonna work

you gonna do like lixie?

for it to be longg

[zenith kernel]

Maybe

I don't really know. I plan on using multicrafter lib.

[zenith kernel]

Yet another resprite. This time jackhammer has been resprited.

The new resprites ingame.

I also gave them one more shot so they are more threatening The look great in swarms

[subtle tulip]

peak

[zenith kernel]

Next unit for a resprite. Retain.(Note I messed up the barrels in the full sprite and cannot be bothered changing it)

[tardy hinge]

noice

[zenith kernel]

release is out with all resprites. Any donations in stars would be much appreciated.

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.5.1

[zenith kernel]

I'll have a go at respriting railhammer next. After that I will make a poll and you people can decide wether I resprite obliterate or twilight.

[south rose]

first

u used quite alot of my sprite

thats not a gud thing😭

[zenith kernel]

So. Escalate has recieved resprited weapons.

I have also changed code so there are less bullets and the frag is a lot less intense.

[subtle tulip]

NICEEEE

[south rose]

nic

e

[zenith kernel]

Working on railhammer resprite. I have actually increased its size by around 4 times the original. New railhammer is gonna need more turrets and defenitely is gonna need a new hitbox

[subtle tulip]

huh noice

[zenith kernel]

It looks very funky as of now but of course it will change a lot in the process

[subtle tulip]

oki

[tardy hinge]

cool

[zenith kernel]

Btw does anyone know which one of these I need for the heat to be constant even when not shooting/reloading?

[zenith kernel]

Like anthicus' spikes that stay out even when not shooting?

[tardy hinge]

warmup

[zenith kernel]

Interesting. I used warmup but the heat just flashes every time it shoots and only the pods/cells stay out

The only solution I can think of is to add an extra weapon that shoots nothing but shoots really fast

[subtle tulip]

you gotta use heatProgress

with warmup

[zenith kernel]

I understand it now

[zenith kernel]

For now I will have the heat colour as white until enough votes are through and/or it ends.

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

Boo! This is the unit with the pods/cells

[zenith kernel]

Anyways. I'll post no more as I wait for the votes to be placed

[subtle tulip]

noic

[zenith kernel]

Well I see the votes and consider them enough to be implemented. Not every unit I make will have cyan/light blue glowing parts. I may have some units with orange or red to be inclusive/satisfy the losing votes

[subtle tulip]

ok

[zenith kernel]

There we go. This looks cool

Now the only issue left is the treads of retain. I can never get them right and have tried many times to fix them but failed every time

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

So like. Does anyone here actually know how to figure out the values for treads. I'm actually banging my head against a brick wall trying to get this to work

[subtle tulip]

idk either

[zenith kernel]

I've got the back treads like moving. Somewhat. I'm just bashing random numbers together

[subtle tulip]

lol 👍

[zenith kernel]

Yep. The poll is officially ended

[zenith kernel]

Making creb

[zenith kernel]

Creb/Perpetuate

[subtle tulip]

lmao

[zenith kernel]

I have no idea what the values do or how they work

Wish me luck

I'm gonna need help soon if I can't get it working

Tbf it isn't that bad. The first part of the legs are just a bit lost

but that might be related to the size of the sprite

[subtle tulip]

they're that far because of legBaseOffset

[zenith kernel]

So to get them to be connected I need a lower value?

Never though coding would be comedic but here I am making funny deformed creb

So what if its screaming for me to kill it. Its funny

I'm slowly getting closer to it being semblent of what I want

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

I have made it so ugly yet so funny

Every time I change a value the legs get drastically different so I'm slowly evolving it

[subtle tulip]

oki

[zenith kernel]

Normal -> Walking

[subtle tulip]

dang

[zenith kernel]

Its so goof

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

How do I get the legs to start further away from the center?

[subtle tulip]

legBaseOffset :3

[zenith kernel]

Like, so I can see the first leg bit

[subtle tulip]

just increase leg base offset

[zenith kernel]

Oki

My favourite goober is now creb/spidor

[subtle tulip]

lulers :3

[zenith kernel]

Every time I change it it wants to die more.

[subtle tulip]

lmfaooo

[zenith kernel]

It makes sense why its called perpetuate. It is in perpetual agony

I've pretty much almost done the legs

I slowly figured out what each value meant and which ones to change to make it how I wanted it

Then I plugged numbers in to get them working properrly

[subtle tulip]

nice

[zenith kernel]

Although the back legs are a bit wonky and don't face backwards when walking but that doesn't matter as much

Coolio

I've overextended by cooldown

[versed magnet]

ooprs

[zenith kernel]

Yerp

[zenith kernel]

It is complete. This time the pods are orange and red. It works perfectly. I'll make a new release and then everything will be perfect

All is done and dandy. Its good to play. Feel free to leave me a star donation for my sanity

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.6

Fixes and buffs for perpetuate already

Self explanitory

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.6.2

@subtle tulip Whats the field to make a ground unit walk over other ground units?

[subtle tulip]

groundLayer: 74+#hitsize/1000

[zenith kernel]

1000 HITSIZE!?!?!?!?

[subtle tulip]

no, hitsize of your unit divided by 1000

[zenith kernel]

So hitSize: 31/1000

[subtle tulip]

no

wait

so

since your unit has a hitsize of 31

you put

groundLayer: 74.0031

[zenith kernel]

Is that it?

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

they're still not walking over retain?

[subtle tulip]

you used type: legs right?

[zenith kernel]

Indeed

[subtle tulip]

then it should be able to walk over terrain less than 3 blocks wide

[zenith kernel]

is it perheps that I have hovering as true for some godforsaken reason?

[subtle tulip]

no

[zenith kernel]

I mean retain. The tank. Retain

I tested it with vela and it didn't work

[subtle tulip]

???

[zenith kernel]

Still didn't walk over vela

[subtle tulip]

oh

its because its a tank

layer only works on leg units

[zenith kernel]

Dam

[zenith kernel]

Are you sure. Collaris had a pretty easy time walking over a dagger and perpetuate didn't?

[subtle tulip]

idk

[zenith kernel]

Bruh

I'll just have to leave it as it is then

[subtle tulip]

ok

[zenith kernel]

@subtle tulip Sorry if yur busy rn but what is the field that makes the first section of the leg longer or shorter?

[subtle tulip]

uhhh idk

[zenith kernel]

Oki

[subtle tulip]

i thnk it's "leg length"

and then leg base length defines that of second section

[zenith kernel]

I should finish ilitch some time huh

[subtle tulip]

yes

[zenith kernel]

I'l uh. I'l work on that

Tommorow

I promise

[zenith kernel]

Okay so. May or may not have been busy. I technically made a bit of progress on ilitch because I changed how one of the turrets works

[zenith kernel]

So I got bored as hell and made 5 creaturas based on some notes about unit specifics and colours. Now I have the 8 serpulo creaturas.

[zenith kernel]

Imma either add these in game tommorow or make the T2 creaturas

Or make the air T1 creaturas

[south rose]

WH

[zenith kernel]

Made some updates to the dark blue one because it looked out of place. I'm working on the T2s rn

[wide rampart]

8 unit classes

[zenith kernel]

Yes

[zenith kernel]

Finished the T2's. All aesthetics and strange features are intentional.

[subtle tulip]

huh

[zenith kernel]

Rearranged the T2 chart to resemble the T1 chart better

[zenith kernel]

?

[night token]

everywhere i go, i see longinus.
(yk?)

[zenith kernel]

I know longinus but what are you calling longinus?

[night token]

ye i mean that

sorry for the delay of rep my wifi cooked yesterday

[prisma heart]

what is aegires?

[atomic crater]

The green Naval unit, T4

[prisma heart]

oh, now i see it

[zenith kernel]

Oh yeah(I need to finish him if I have him in my files anywhere)

[zenith kernel]

Decided to do some unit training/random spriting by making myself a new pfp

[prisma heart]

beware i live

mindustry sinistar

[shy peak]

jack o dustry

[cunning notch]

evil ahh

[low schooner]

Looks funny

Good sprite

[zenith kernel]

Decided to make a little bit of porgress towards railhammer because I still haven't done anything with him

[subtle tulip]

huh nice

[zenith kernel]

Updated these old things because I never ended up using them.

Here is thymocyte

[subtle tulip]

nice

[zenith kernel]

Here is boemocyte

Together they are. The Mocyte Brothers!

[subtle tulip]

dang

coolio

[zenith kernel]

Revamped this whole thing. I still have the turret and side guns to make but this is such a great upgrade

Small visual update to perpetuate

All of this will be added at some point in the future. Still unsure when.

Small changes to impede to give the sheets/light tone a bit more detail

[south rose]

can i take this as the shape?

i need shape,not unit:)

[zenith kernel]

Yeah sure.

[zenith kernel]

Here is the weapon with impede. The idea is that the barrels fire homing blasts that go diagonal and curve similarly to elude's weapons.

[zenith kernel]

I've been cooking and now railhammer has a new body

[subtle tulip]

hm

[zenith kernel]

Also. Why did you lock your entire ass server down?

I was gonna post railhammer in the other-mods section😢

[subtle tulip]

peace

[zenith kernel]

Fair enough. Your server was very busy

[subtle tulip]

i wanna avoid a lot of interaction rn

[zenith kernel]

Personal issues?

[subtle tulip]

yea i am unable to stand human beings anymore

[zenith kernel]

I understand. I shall question no further incase of sensitive subject

[zenith kernel]

Working on the weapon revamp/Sections that will not be seen will have minimal detailing.

[zenith kernel]

Managed to complete the entire thing in one night. Cool asf

Now I gotta make cells for railhammer and the main weapon then resprite the missiles and give it maybe more weapons if i can be bothered. Coolio I'll work on that sometime

[zenith kernel]

Resprite to the railhammer missiles. I will change them for the rework and resprite

[subtle tulip]

oo looks good

[zenith kernel]

Thank u

[subtle tulip]

np

[zenith kernel]

How are you btw?

[subtle tulip]

bad

and tired

googni

[zenith kernel]

googni frend. I hope your state improves

[zenith kernel]

I might have to use this idea to remake the ilitch missile with the new pods

[tardy hinge]

what if u make this as longer range cruise missiles

[zenith kernel]

Hmmmm. I could do that.

[zenith kernel]

@bronze scaffold I have no idea if you are busy or anything so sorry if I ping you at a bad time but you told me I get modder role at 10 stars and apparently my mod reached 10 stars at some point(Idk when). How dost one aquire the role?

[bronze scaffold]

Go to bots chanel

[zenith kernel]

and do what from there?

[zenith kernel]

With my recent gaining of the modder role I reveal to you all a new release witha complete railhammer metamorphosis

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.7

[subtle tulip]

huh

cool

[zenith kernel]

I just realised I need to make some adjustments to the missile pods and do some small spriting changes on the weapon. I'll do that tommorow

[zenith kernel]

New release, fixed some issues with railhammer

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.7.1

[zenith kernel]

The T3 Creaturas are here

I still need to make weapons for them but otherwise they are here

I now only have the T4 and T5 creaturas to make. If I get overinvested I'll make T6,s and 7,s for the creaturas including the vanilla trees

[subtle tulip]

hm

[zenith kernel]

hm?

[zenith kernel]

New unit. Using elysia's old sprite that they didn't want.

Intensify shoots 3 lances with some smoke effects that fade out in a cool way that I made with just changing value to stupid amounts.

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/HC-Expanded-Dawn/releases/tag/V1.0.7.2

Side note. This is the railhammer finalisation

[subtle tulip]

coolio

[south rose]

his*

[zenith kernel]

Understod. I just forgot.

[zenith kernel]

Remember this thing? No me neither I only though about it 5 minutes ago but I lost it. Imma start from scratch

[tardy hinge]

i did

i was thinking where the goofy hollow knight thing was

[zenith kernel]

Yeah I'm starting from scratch. I'm going to try keep the original shape

I'm going to add more bits jutting out of it

[zenith kernel]

It grows

I have no idea what I'm doing

[subtle tulip]

me neither

[zenith kernel]

Maybe I know what I'm doing

[south rose]

nic

[zenith kernel]

IT HUNGERS

I have supremely cooked

[zenith kernel]

Neoplasm unit: Devour is complete

I also managed to give railhammer a proper black hole instead of a bright orange orb

[subtle tulip]

hell yes

[zenith kernel]

HELL YEAH

[subtle tulip]

i asked you a question somewhere else

[zenith kernel]

Where?

I understand

[subtle tulip]

place 👁️

[manic tartan]

damn!

[zenith kernel]

Yers

[sharp field]

You know when you stay up till 3:50 AM watching tiktoks and scheming new ideas to add to the mod. Damn I need to sleep

[south rose]

Elysia?

[tardy hinge]

wow

[zenith kernel]

I was inspired to make a meld styled unit yesterday so I did so. It isn't actually that bad if I'm being honest.

[zenith kernel]

I made a cube thing. I don't really know what I was doing but I ended up making this 'kube'

I feel like I wanna change the name of the mod but can't think of a good name

i also wanna merge all the ideas from my reformed universes project into this because I can.

Dawning Reformations?

[subtle tulip]

idk

[zenith kernel]

I can't really think of good names but I wanna change the name to something else

I just thought of exaczion. but that seems more like a good planet name

Esocatalyst?

Esocatalyst sounds nice

Imma sit on it for a while. I'll keep the name for now

[pulsar copper]

apathy baby

[zenith kernel]

Mini Apathy

[zenith kernel]

Random unit dump. I just made them. No reason why.

[wide rampart]

hmm should it have legs or not?

[sharp field]

I don't really have a plan for the shapes. I just made them because I can.

[subtle tulip]

he has 3 shapes. His greed sickens me; he does not need this many shapes!

[sharp field]

I hunger for more shapes

[zenith kernel]

I have now aquired. Tryangle

I have 4 shapes. My greed shall grow

[tranquil bear]

[elfin spire]

Arrasdustry ahh

[subtle tulip]

you will go to hell and will be punished by having to pull a bag full of shapes up mankind's monuments

[zenith kernel]

Nooooo

Unfortunately for you I +PARRY my punishment and will collect more shapes.

Now I think of it octagon doesn't make sense with the sizes I'm dealing with

[subtle tulip]

dear god

[zenith kernel]

They get bigger as they gain more sides so octagon should be upscaled a lot

[subtle tulip]

will that stop you?

[zenith kernel]

NOOOO

I NEED MORE SHAPES

MY HUNGER GROWS

I shall make hecsagonm and sepptugon and then I can make oktugon bigger

I think I'll stop after that. The sizes would be too much

Wait no

Hold on

I can make another shapes tree

Think smarter not harder

[tardy hinge]

make:
a star
a donut
a trapezium

[zenith kernel]

A donut?

hm

ctarr
doenut
trapiziumn

Three unit trees of shapes

Very nice

[manic tartan]

what's next? platonic solids?

[zenith kernel]

No clue

[south rose]

circle

its not a unit but u can take it

eventhough i put it in my new unit

[south rose]

here

[sharp field]

More shape. Thank you

[sharp field]

Imma try and take that thing and put it into a mech or spider unit some time

[zenith kernel]

Esocatalyst

Esocatalyst - Showcase & Discussion

I'm changing the name and making a new icon for this. The old name and icon aren't sticking well with me and I want to be more unique than an NH clone/'dlc'

[subtle tulip]

dang nice

[zenith kernel]

Resprite to my aquaducts.

[subtle tulip]

noice

[zenith kernel]

True resprite. Flipped the shine on the glass and put some bits on the side to make them look secured to the ground.

[atomic crater]

👁️👁️

[zenith kernel]

I liked the idea of using the ball inside another unit. That is what I'm doing now.

[zenith kernel]

hm, work

[south rose]

hmmmm

[sharp field]

Imma work on that sprite later at some point. Hopefully soon. My friend says hi for some reason? Don't question it.

[zenith kernel]

Got a bit overinvested and ended up finishing the entire unit without decals

[south rose]

wh

some part is weird but fine

[zenith kernel]

I will keep refining it before I add decals and cells

[south rose]

[zenith kernel]

Complete?(other than decals and cells of course)

[south rose]

ok

[steep marsh]

it is watching me

[subtle tulip]

wrong, i'm watching you.

[zenith kernel]

I have to put a spinning thinger in it when I code it so itll be watching all.

I've been working away all day making this absolute beast. Truly beautiful.

Why has it sent as a file

What

Guess its too big. I'll get a different video

The fruit of my long labour. Revoke is here and is beautiful.

[subtle tulip]

HOLYYYY HELL

[zenith kernel]

I am very proud

[south rose]

what da hell

[zenith kernel]

This is what I've been cooking up in my silence

[zenith kernel]

Resprited devour's legs. Theres more flesh on them now and they actually have shading instead of being just midtone and darktone

[subtle tulip]

nice

[south rose]

niceee

[zenith kernel]

No progress. Too busy with my new mod. My friend says hi again.

[subtle tulip]

lol

[zenith kernel]

This doesn't count as dead. Its meant to be my random stuff mod. I'm using this message to keep it in my forum page

[zenith kernel]

Working on small things here and there between making extremus null

[zenith kernel]

So, Something thats been bugging me is the black holes on units I've made, they don't have the key feature of a black hole. Now they do!

[subtle tulip]

huh noice :3

[south rose]

where is this purple cannon came from

look nice

im gonna ask them for

[zenith kernel]

I just had a stroke trying to read that.

[south rose]

lol,so where did that purple cannon come from

[south rose]

is purple where thís from came is

[zenith kernel]

It was yours🥳

[south rose]

no

not me

[zenith kernel]

What?

I am now being further confused

@south rose Could you perhaps specify what you are asking about I am so confused

[south rose]

@zenith kernel just teaseu abit lmao

[zenith kernel]

Oh alright. I was so confused lol

[zenith kernel]

The black holes were bugging me again. The accretion disc and doppler beaming were a sharp drop off so I added some more triangles to curve out the join and now it looks so much better.

[zenith kernel]

https://github.com/HungryCloud4913/Esocatalyst/releases/tag/V1.0.7.3

Welp here you go. After a lack of activity here you can have the new release with the black hole visual upgrades

[subtle tulip]

ooo cool

(i like that you stole AND improved my code)

[zenith kernel]

Me staring at colonise's code to figure out how you stretched the triangles so I can put them on my stuff

[subtle tulip]

lmao :3

[zenith kernel]

Accretion disc thinned

Small update. Can't be bothered making a new release just for this lol

[subtle tulip]

firze

fire

[zenith kernel]

Is it bad to say I've come up with a justification for a black hole being fine on top of a unit?

Justification: The black hole is actually a form of intense energy that is condensed into one place that takes the form of a black hole due to the condensed energy creating a sort of singularity. The singularity is not a dense singularity, it is an intense singularity made of energy so it does not create a gravitational field or pull and is just stabilized on the unit as a means to store energy in one location.

This justification could lead to justifying weapons that nullify attacks or consume smaller units, vaporizing them inside the intense singularity.

[south rose]

ok

[zenith kernel]

I'm all yap

[zenith kernel]

Esocataclysmic

[zenith kernel]

My friend says hi again for some reason.

[south rose]

hi

[low schooner]

Hi

[bronze scaffold]

wake up

[zenith kernel]

He has awoken it

[bronze scaffold]

yey :D

For fun, I pitted two units with black holes in battle

[zenith kernel]

Poor railhammer

[zenith kernel]

Oh hey by the way. Not to be a respriting guy but uh. I've had an old resprite in storage for railhammer that none of you have seen

[zenith kernel]

Sorry to be annoying but. Check out revoke(as long as you have the newest version). He has a black hole aswell. By technicality obliterate would have one but she is that old I haven't and didn't manage to remake her

[bronze scaffold]

Oh, ok

No problem

How I said I pitted his for fun

[zenith kernel]

Whoops. Wrong spelling

I am so schizo

Well at least I woke this place up

[zenith kernel]

This place so empty.

[tardy hinge]

:p

[zenith kernel]

Seeing as this place is empty I am here to pitch a concept for later. A unit that has an energy black hole in the middle with metal plates floating around it seperated and connected by constantly firing arc weapons to make it look like they are held together with pure energy and harm any unit that gets too close to the unit

[south rose]

wut the hell

[zenith kernel]

Am I the only one to think about this?

[south rose]

sound cool

ngl

like some mythic skin in codm or codmw

haha,i like thay idea

[zenith kernel]

Awaken my child. For I have more content to feed your wilting soul. However you must wait for its form is incomplete and it shall gain its gracious use once it is complete.

[zenith kernel]

These boats are being renamed after a revelation that assault boats are named after whale genus and support boats are named after sea slug genus

So specialist boats are gonna be named after shark genus

Specialist: T1-hexanchus, T2-alopias, T3-sphyrna, T4-carcharodon, T5-somniosus, ??T6-galeocerdo, T7-megachasma??(No T6 or T7 exist, these are just if I want to make higher tiers)

[zenith kernel]

Big black hole

[tardy hinge]

:o

finally alive eh?

[zenith kernel]

Perhaps

[zenith kernel]

After further inspection I haven't a clue how to implement the lightning this holding the unit together so I'm gonna have some random lightning bursts from the black hole that just go off randommly

It is too much confusing stuff. I could get it to work but it'd be astronomically horrible on the code side

I just created two always shooting lightning things with different reloads and it creates a random spark like effect

Like its unstable

Its gonna shoot things out of the black hole anyways but it adds to the feel

[south rose]

ahh

ur unit,uh nvm i love it

[zenith kernel]

Huh?

If theres anything you want to say about it feel free to

[shy peak]

its pwak

i wonder why are there 28 skull reacts

[south rose]

idk too

[south rose]

i feel nostalgia abit

[zenith kernel]

Understandable

[zenith kernel]

The name used to be a reformulated version of new horizons and I don't think people particularly liked the fact I said I was inspired by it. The icon currently is also inspired by new horizons but I really need to make a new one

Its a shame I can guarantee most the skull reacts only did it at the time I had that icon in the mod and the old name. I bet they don't read this place either so I bet it will stay as having more skulls than thumbs up

[south rose]

👍

[zenith kernel]

I pray to those that added a skull if you see my message. Please refund your skull.

[south rose]

i will

[tardy hinge]

-# but im a robot

[zenith kernel]

Um. What?

[south rose]

fact:Hyperium is

[zenith kernel]

He is an anthicus

[tardy hinge]

i am a heavily modified collaris

[zenith kernel]

Coolaris

[tardy hinge]

heres a gift

i figured i didnt rlly need it so i give it to you

@zenith kernel

[zenith kernel]

oo. Free thingies

Thank you

Got bored. Drew random unit mindlessly

[zenith kernel]

Spontaneous idea generation has occured

The nature of this mod to slap random stuff down and call it a day for approx 2 weeks

[zenith kernel]

I remembered my tank and how I could not get the treads working. So I turned it into a hover tank

Got more bored. Drew a big hovertank

[south rose]

look nice....

-# i feel nostalgia again

[zenith kernel]

I don't know if me making you nostalgic is bad or good

[south rose]

good(Offtopic warning :yes its good for me, when I put sprite in my mod..it's very bad af, but it's good when used by others[ maybe you are the one who uses my sprite the most]so I'm not interested in coding)

-# i dont find sprites and mods interesting anymore, i haven't played mindustry in a long time lmao, i will probably still sprite but will give away....god i have many interesting ideas but also hate it

[zenith kernel]

Ground based legion has been expanded

[tardy hinge]

now when will you add crusader

[zenith kernel]

Whats crusader?

[tardy hinge]

dm me orange if you want all the sprites

[tardy hinge]

this guy

[zenith kernel]

Oh

[tardy hinge]

lemme tell you a trick

the massive one in the middle, set his outlineRadius to 4

[zenith kernel]

Got it

[tardy hinge]

you might have to increase the canvas width by a little

[zenith kernel]

This good?

[tardy hinge]

mm try 5

[zenith kernel]

Why does it looks so cartoony

[tardy hinge]

nah it looks better

[zenith kernel]

I decided to resprite weapons of these two.

[zenith kernel]

Might do soms sprite changes to the legged one and makenit shoot slower but it shoots two missiles

[zenith kernel]

This does not matter to you but this is gonna be a unit that shoots a missile out of the front of it and dies

Its probably gonna be much smaller

[south rose]

purple Armada

amazing

[zenith kernel]

Concept. A unit that speeds up/slightly buffs other units with a custom effect(I'll figure it out) just a small movespeed and reload buff

[zenith kernel]

I need to add more attacks to this and maybe do some sprite adjustments

[zenith kernel]

Nevermind I hate this shape. I'm making it have a different shape

[zenith kernel]

Missile unit. First part

[zenith kernel]

Beefed up. Side panels will unfold to release the missile and it will just die. Sort of inspired by a unit from the saturation firepower mod. It will have different effects when releasing though

[tardy hinge]

mm

interesting

so like portable scathe

[zenith kernel]

Big portable scathe yes. It flies aswell. Don't forget that

[tardy hinge]

so like a railhammer crawler scathe mix

[zenith kernel]

Yeah. As a short summary. I simple idea is. A crawler that turns into a missile that blows a massive hole in enemy defences to leg smaller and medium unit in. Kind like a big chunky siege weapon

Side note: made some changes to perpetuates sprite but they are hard to see being covered up by the missile pods. The end of the legs have also had a slight colour change towards the body to make them brighter

Though I realise I might need to change the location of the heat pods because they intersect with stuff they shouldn't

[tardy hinge]

lemme drop an idea

[zenith kernel]

Sure

[tardy hinge]

so imagine a missile that functions in two stages, is launched form ridiculous ranges

so like its kinda slow in the first stage

then ejects its wings and fires up the main thruster

yeeting it to absurd speeds making it a kinetic impactor thing

[zenith kernel]

Hold on. That could work. Give it an ability that give it super speed and give it a weapon with the thruster animation that activates after a certain time. Then I could add the ramming code from the purple naval units I have to make the kinetic impact thing

He is cooking. Though I should probably finish coding other things and put those sprites you gave me to use. That shall hopefully happen tomorrow

[zenith kernel]

My friend says hi again

rrbrh4h4b4b4b

meoewwwe

[south rose]

hi

[zenith kernel]

I am on holiday for now so I can't mod or sprite but I wanna do more later so I'm listing stuff down here: A mech smaller than intensify, a mech larger than intensify, a mech even larger than them all, a spider smaller than perpetuate, maybe a spider bigger than revoke???

[south rose]

-# just enjoy ur life

want my new sprite

[zenith kernel]

If you are willing to give it up sure

[south rose]

okay

[zenith kernel]

Is it the one I called pinky?

[south rose]

ywss

[zenith kernel]

Another thing I want to do is revisit old sprites and ideas and implement them to the mod like random sprites to redo and actually code

[south rose]

[zenith kernel]

Crux

I am purple. I am full of malis

[south rose]

Erekirian

i am

[zenith kernel]

Same

[south rose]

-# i mean im not erekirian,but Earthian

[south rose]

take thsi

[zenith kernel]

Thank you

[south rose]

its not perfect at all

[zenith kernel]

I'll edit it when I get the chance

[zenith kernel]

Hehe

Smile

[tardy hinge]

when will you make t1s

[zenith kernel]

Saying that like there are unit trees to begin with

Smallest unit in the mod currently is retain and its about t2-t3 sized anyway

I could add unit trees if I wanted to but them that mixes with the fact I just add random shit and call it good

[tardy hinge]

i mean like small units

the cannon fodder

[zenith kernel]

Oh. Yeah I could do that. I could also make a survival map. Thats what the planet can be. Just trials of fighting waves. Sort of like tower defence and tower defence molten but with maps that aren't long spiralling roads

[zenith kernel]

Idea. Instead of normal naval units there are battleships, scouting ships and aircraft carriers because they look cool

[tardy hinge]

mm lemme help you a lil
naval units:
frigates - larger than destroyers smaller than cruisers, often have dual deckguns
destroyers - glass cannons, often fast and dangerous
corvettes - smallest class, scout glass cannons armed with explosive weapons
cruiser - larger than frigates, armed with a huge triple barreled deckgun and multiple aa missile weapons
battlecruiser - an even larger cruiser, a siege weapon of massive proportions armed with two dual barreled deckguns fires longrange rail bolts
carrier - the largest class, has many anti ground weapons and drone bays
hovercraft - large as destroyers, hover over water making them faster tho have less weapons
utility-ship - support ships

[zenith kernel]

Size order:
Corvette
Destroyer
Large Destroyer
Frigates
Cruisers
Battlecruiser
Carrier

Misc:
Hovercraft
Utility Ships

Added large destroyer for the sake of it

If I can be bothered I'l turn the hover tanks into actual tanks so they can't go into the water or just make them sinkable and the lore can be that they are too heavy

[zenith kernel]

What if I made a unit that looks like a ghost leviathan?

[low schooner]

Why not

[south rose]

why not

[tardy hinge]

why not

[zenith kernel]

Before I make ghost leviathan I'm reviewing old unused sprites in this channel to resprite and give them justice and use

12 sprites have been collected to be given their purpose

[ivory dew]

good idea, but u need to update the mod to 149 for it to be able to make worm enemies, i think

[zenith kernel]

You can make worm enmies in any version

My other mod extremus null has a worm enemy and is for v136

[mortal flame]

I think you need to be in 149 for worm cell sprites iirc

But yeah worms work in 146

[ivory dew]

alr, cuz i remember that i seem an worm unit for the project unity mod that had parts that chould get made one by one

q

also, i meant by these units that have segments, like in terraria

[zenith kernel]

Thats more of a complicated thing with segments that connect and disconnect needing very complicated code lol

[ivory dew]

then, you can make that if u destroy for example: the middle part, it will reconnect

[zenith kernel]

Idk if its possible with hjson. It might be but it would be super super complicated and wierd

[zenith kernel]

@tardy hinge Some of the resprited guys will be cannon fodder

[tardy hinge]

yey

[zenith kernel]

Section previews of two small units

[zenith kernel]

Working through units doing the smallest one first

[zenith kernel]

I've done 5 units so far so I'm getting on well

[zenith kernel]

8 units done so far

[zenith kernel]

9 units have been sprited so far with a 10th one in progress. Once it is complete the final two can be sprited and you can all witness them

[zenith kernel]

Hm.

What is the past tense of sprite

1. Sprited

2. Sprote

3. Spriten

[low schooner]

I prefer "sprited". Idk which would be correct in grammatical way

[zenith kernel]

Working on the last two sprites and turning one of them into a sheet of how I draw this funky style of units

[zenith kernel]

Only the last unit is left. Then I have to make weapons for them all

[zenith kernel]

First selection of units(I can only upload 10 at a time)

Second selection of units

[south rose]

wow

Purple Armada shall arrive

[zenith kernel]

3 of the sprites will probably end up being used as aircraft to put on aircraft carriers I make

[zenith kernel]

I'm working on weapon sprites for them all

and -cell and -full sprites

[zenith kernel]

I've done most of the weapons, cells, and full sprites I just have a few left

[zenith kernel]

I feed ye with something unrelated but I am very proud of it.

[zenith kernel]

What if instead of hoverparts I used a constantly shooting weapon that had halo parts that died out and grew back to emulate the hover look because square hoverparts are always diagonal and I want straight ones

I could make better hoverparts that bend around the shape of a unit instead of the rigid normal hoverparts that are limited

[south rose]

🤔

[zenith kernel]

I've been working on things like leg sprites for units and once they are all done I can start coding units

[south rose]

Many of your units have these "liquid tubes",for what

-# just curious

[zenith kernel]

I remember seeing them on a similar styled unit somewhere and I think they look cool. I remember having an idea of making them glow the same shade but I never actually did that to any on the units that have the tubes in the mod.

These ones have the tubes and I liked the look so I decided to carry it over to some units but not every unit just for some variation.

Double send somehow. Whoops

[south rose]

where are these came from

[steep marsh]

The tubes originate from the conquer T5 erekir tank

[zenith kernel]

I finished all the sprites and got bored of making legs so I drew another small unit. Its a tiny version of intensify

[zenith kernel]

I will start coding units soon. I will start with smaller units and build up to coding the larger ones

[south rose]

dad and son ahh

[zenith kernel]

He is treated well

[zenith kernel]

Poor stell is being bullied by the bigger siblings

[south rose]

😭

[south rose]

small suggest

Or you can ignore it, it won't stop the Earth from spinning either.

[zenith kernel]

Sorted

[south rose]

uh,thank

[zenith kernel]

Awaken

[south rose]

yes

[south rose]

anythin new¿

[zenith kernel]

Not recently. I've been thinking of what to draw and procrastinating coding the rest of the units

[tame tide]

:O

im try develop hitbox :v

[zenith kernel]

Hitbox for what may I ask?

[tame tide]

wait this is js or java mod ?

[zenith kernel]

This is hjson. Somehow. I don't know how

[zenith kernel]

Should I code a unit so this place is not just me putting random messages to awaken it?

[south rose]

yes

[atomic crater]

yes

[zenith kernel]

Extremus null takes my priority rn I need to work on it and hopefully get an actual V1.0 for it out on the browser

[south rose]

do u want another big and free sprite

[zenith kernel]

Yes

[south rose]

okay
