gonna keep this here for safekeeping

[lean fiber]

"safekeeping"
immediately appears in every json mod

[cursive owl]

its just bomb bullet type

[lean fiber]

no... i cant believe it...

how dare thy...

[wispy blaze]

it makes everything else look flat though

[cursive owl]

cuz rn its empty :p

[lean fiber]

are the edge sprites gonna be insane

[cursive owl]

yes

yes tinport

thanks for reminding

[wispy blaze]

the walls

[cursive owl]

that be fixed with the small pillars and buttes

[cursive owl]

hi jam

also ye

satisfactory is a really good refrence point

[cursive owl]

a week or two until i kick myself into overdrive

cuz summer break

[haughty imp]

becareful of burnout

[cursive owl]

that word doesnt exist in my vocabulary

[haughty imp]

your life isn't revolved on your own vocabulary Hyperium

ok that was a stupid respond

mb bro

[cursive owl]

nah like i dont get burnt out cuz modding is more of a hobby and my way of having fun

[cursive owl]

hehehehe

[lean fiber]

you need to put the rhyolite-ish terrain be higher than the main floor itself so you can have the weird soft inclines

as in just put a z before the name of the floor itself

[cursive owl]

contentOrder

[lean fiber]

right. well i do not care!!!!!!! owned

[karmic hare]

What if we had rhyolite “quicksand”

[cursive owl]

the hematite or regolith?

[karmic hare]

The red

[cursive owl]

it will

regolith quicksand

[lean fiber]

do we get darker regolith

[cursive owl]

idk

still deciding

[velvet cobalt]

those archways are quite impressive

[cursive owl]

shortcut message

[atomic heath]

A literal filler mod

Adds nothing

[cursive owl]

i think you forgot the fact im working on it

is wip

[atomic heath]

Then add at least the planet, not just nothing sandwhich😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏

[cursive owl]

the repo version is outdated by a few months already

so theres no point in adding a planet now

also uh we are going to get a campaign further in development

not now

[cursive owl]

today, i'll make the crawlers or spiders prolly

[cursive owl]

and the deserts

so idk if this should be till the mid game or smth cuz it feels like overkill

hmm

im not sure tho

[cursive owl]

gonna rewrite this

idk tho

gonna remove hydroxide

and prolly make lithium an ore

gonna remove coke and sand

[cursive owl]

gonna replace hematite with ferrum

cuz it sound cooler

gonna give silica glass the boot

ferrum

[cursive owl]

updating the regolith

[lean fiber]

shiver me timbers

[cursive owl]

indeed

making improvments

[cursive owl]

so arikoth willl not be as bright as before, but still its a desert lol

its slightly darker, not like arctican dark the darkness is more of a sorta haze

also it gives it the theme / style of desert i like

[cursive owl]

successful landing achived

...

where did the core go

[lean fiber]

the scary things ate it

[rocky sand]

i yoinked it using freaky eldrich tentacles

[cursive owl]

arikoth kelthir and harcithor

[velvet cobalt]

this is promising, really promising

i hope you don't scrap this

because if you don't scrap it, this will be your magnum-opus i feel like

[cursive owl]

oh things will get better from this point onwards

[velvet cobalt]

that is good to hear

i like that you are putting actual planning into the progression

good luck, and don't give up

[cursive owl]

i simplified it a little a while back

[velvet cobalt]

mm

[cursive owl]

also arikoth is kinda cold

not as hot as erekir niether as cold as serp

its only rlly a desert cuz of volcanic activity

and calling a traditional desert is an pushing it, its more like mars except we made it a volcano

[haughty imp]

need someone to hug her

[cursive owl]

i think you got the pronouns wrong?

[velvet cobalt]

one thing to note; "game_" songs usually use fewer saws and more soft things i.e. piano

but also suspense

[haughty imp]

Celestial body usually use 'she/her' as the pronoun, just like ships

[open ether]

arikoth chan

[haughty imp]

Hi

Nanigasuki

[open ether]

nani

[cursive owl]

that doesnt happen in this economy, deal with it

[jagged sun]

Since you created arikoth, you could chose whatever.

I dunno, you could use exclusively the royal "we"

[cursive owl]

i mean it is a meld of a few planets

[jagged sun]

Then that's perfect. Also if Arikoth has any semblance of "majesty", even better.

[cursive owl]

thats why its molten but cold at the same time

[open ether]

thou art so majestic

[jagged sun]

Cool. I have yet to actually play the mod even though it's installed so yeah

[cursive owl]

sector preview

[cursive owl]

hehehe

[modest crypt]

how did you change the names and sprites of the teams?

[cursive owl]

gonna tell you soon

[cursive owl]

so i used fico lib

put the team icons in
sprites/ui
and put modname.icon in
icons/

example code:
team-icon auto @-team-sharded sharded
team-icon auto @-team-malis malis
team-icon auto @-team-crux crux
team-icon auto @-team-blue blue
team-icon auto @-team-derelict derelict
team-icon auto @-team-green green

[regal whale]

interesting

time to ctrl+c v the code of that library 🧌

[cursive owl]

should i be annoying and make the liquid logistics bridges and liq tanks

screw it i will

[cursive owl]

i wonder

no bridges at all

[cursive owl]

icher prod

[cursive owl]

gonna work on the units

then turrets

or prolly factories

[cursive owl]

also the first two sectors are test sectors, i wont put them in the upcoming release

i will get to making the sectors once all the content is done

also me 2px-ing midtone lines in some blocks is intentional

[cursive owl]

puncture

[cursive owl]

expect a release in a week or two

i will prolly keep one or two sectors

then its blocks, items, env etc

[karmic hare]

This is looking great

[cursive owl]

gonna go work on astral

cuz im in a creative void rn

[cursive owl]

or i might work on units

[cursive owl]

weapon ideas for the mechs (magma)
scoriae - tiny slag thrower
pyretic - molten flak orb
smolder - dual machineguns, slag harpoon launcher
scintillate - aa flak weaponry, slag shotguns, molten artillery
calefaction - artillery cannons, machineguns, fragmentary flak orb (molten), flamethrower

[velvet cobalt]

Tri-Tachyon when

[velvet cobalt]

add firing and trail particles methinks-just simple ones

[cursive owl]

gonna get to working on moss cultivation and detril augers

[cursive owl]

also arikoth has two planets

arikoth - a (one im working on)
arikoth - b (desert one)

[cursive owl]

time to arikoth around again

[cursive owl]

gonna work on arctican

[cursive owl]

gonna overhaul the units

i dont like the current ones

[lean fiber]

gg

[cursive owl]

gg

all i need to do is change the hover units a lil, and the mechs are fine

[cursive owl]

we've implemented siligone

guys i need an alt recipie for ozon

cuz rn it takes detril which is biome exclusive and arikoth isnt 99% detril swamps

[jagged sun]

Look into how it's done irl maybe for inspiration

[cursive owl]

fair

also :p

[jagged sun]

Do they aim with the mouse? Cuz they look arm mounted so that'd be cool

[cursive owl]

they do

[cursive owl]

gonna redo the env

i dont like it not being a desert

[karmic hare]

Save the tiles tho

Could be used for other stuff

[cursive owl]

oh yea

thx for reminding me

[karmic hare]

I feel like it could be used to indicate oil areas

Like a mini biome

[cursive owl]

ah detril

i dont rlly want to make an auger sprite for it so ye

gonna spice-up the harcithor star system

[cursive owl]

time to make irradiated water

[cursive owl]

playtesting

[open ether]

neat

env still need work tho

also why just 1 drill

[cursive owl]

cuz it eats too much icher

i hate these

[open ether]

you created them and now you hate them

[cursive owl]

luckily they dont have too much health lmao

chains

oh crap

:p

[weak sparrow]

Can I also use this idea? :>

[velvet cobalt]

i think the gap in the shields should be a little wider

other than that, very neat

i also like the ruins a lot

[velvet cobalt]

this is one of the best mindustry environments i've seen actually, really good work

there's color variation but it's still cohesive

i think an extra transitional stage between these areas could work well but that's just some random constructive criticism of mine

[velvet cobalt]

and, if you don't mind a little more criticism; i think another more damaged wall-variant, as well as scattered debris via OverlayFloor (for example, pebbles) such that it works on any other floor

i think those two things alike could show that things have been strewn about the place

i look forward to seeing this mod in a complete state

[cursive owl]

ooo

interesting

[cursive owl]

current music tracks

[cursive owl]

so some lore thingies:

• crawler tanks(when i eventually make em) are apexim tech
• tanks are be xethiel trying to learn from erekir tank blueprints
• mechs are by vagus making lifesteal tech and dagger unit tree
• hovers are vagus tech too also are the seed of lifesteal tech
• ships are luxis trying to make an oct but turning it into a ship instead

[cursive owl]

im open for suggestions

any suggestions

all i need is good ideas

[cursive owl]

silly thing is rts doesnt cooperate with crawlers so i decided to make apexim braindead cuz crux

[cursive owl]

gonna bring back rhenium

[cursive owl]

release is near

gonna put this here for safekeeping

got a stupid idea

gonna make anax be able to drift

[cursive owl]

also when i said vathos is an ocean

i mean a massive salt flat

yea

mm

idk if i like it tho

reverting chang

[cursive owl]

wip

dont mention the 10 asteroids

[weak sparrow]

What the point of showcasing the planet if you can barely see it's surface? rnsqsh

[cursive owl]

:ppppp

[cursive owl]

i keep on changing it

[lean fiber]

cant believe this

[cursive owl]

hmmm

gonna bring back the gold production lines

[cursive owl]

dont complain that mechs will be well huge cuz they are titans
(not titan class units tho)

hovers are decently large
spiders are in the middleground
atvs are the same as spiders
ships are exponential
air is also exponential
tanks are linear and decently large

[pastel lake]

found a bug

[cursive owl]

lmfao

how did that happen

[leaden radish]

bridges by defualt have power, just add a hasPower = false; in the code

like phase conveyors

[pastel lake]

let's this will stay this as feature

[cursive owl]

icher extraction (vents)

[cursive owl]

also some sectors you have no choice except to use the vents

[lean fiber]

i would make something more decenter (source: me)

as in mapping

i forgot to scroll down i am so good

[atomic heath]

Oh my god JUST START WORKING ON CAMPAIN ALREDY

[lean fiber]

now why would he

[atomic heath]

Now why wouldn't he

[lean fiber]

gotta remake entire mod atleast 17 times before actually working on anything

[atomic heath]

Yeah this mod is gonna be abandoned soon

[lean fiber]

what

stop tryna bully cyanide

[karmic hare]

You’ve said that here before

[karmic hare]

If you read up you can see that he has

[karmic hare]

^

[dusk bramble]

Silence, mortal

[rocky sand]

wha

[cursive owl]

this is the most inaccurate statement ive read

[cursive owl]

also ive said countless times im going to work on the campaign when all the content is finished

i dont want to make a thousand sectors then have to edit them every single time i add a new unit/block

[cursive owl]

armor plate prod

[cursive owl]

gonna erase graphite

[velvet cobalt]

hmmm, thermoplast

you definitely did it better than me though

the particles are cool

i can see this being one of the json mods with better visuals

[cursive owl]

:D

[velvet cobalt]

given this is, so far, your longest-term project yet—i look forward to seeing this mod in a completed state

don't give up—you're doing great thus far

[cursive owl]

even more gameplay testing

@here can yall shift the ♻️ into 👍 cuz this isnt xanthia

[edgy bear]

Gameplay at last. I've been waiting for this mod to be changed to the new version

[cursive owl]

-# keep in mind this mod might reach or exceed asthosus in difficulty
also i keep asthosus as a comparison point for difficulty cuz its complete (i would've used nightscape if it was complete tho)

[cursive owl]

even more playtesting

got a second core

[karmic hare]

I feel like smoke would be more fitting

Making concrete isn’t a very impactful thing

[edgy bear]

Thats fair enough

[cursive owl]

hmm

NEW DEV RELEASE IS OUT

NOTES

• units are destined to change
• campaign is incomplete (yes the one lonely sector is incomplete)
• turrets will get changed a little
• and some other tweaks will occur in the future
• the extra planets will be inaccessible soon

I HOPE YALL HAVE FUN PLAYING AROUND

[cursive owl]

magnetic stack rails

[cursive owl]

shorcut msg 2.0

[velvet cobalt]

shaking items

interesting

[cursive owl]

THE FLOODGATES HAVE OPENED

EFFECT SPAWNER PART IS JSONABLE

HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

HEHEHEHEHE

also... hyperiumification of the effects will also begin soon

[cursive owl]

gonna work on the factories and the latergame materials

[pastel lake]

man

old arikoth was better

[cursive owl]

so like should i revert back or smth

it would be do much except be a minor inconvenience

hmm gonna launch a poll

[edgy bear]

What if. Seperate planets in the same mod

Two campaigns

[cursive owl]

hmmmmm

might think of that

or i can make this arikoth astral cuz its not too difficult renaming one and calling it a day

[edgy bear]

As in the planet or the mod

[cursive owl]

mod

old arikoth wont be too difficult to rework

[edgy bear]

Well think about it. Asthosus is named after one of the planets in the mod. I see no harm keeping it as arrioth and having more planets than arrikoth itself

[cursive owl]

cuz if i rename old arikoth astral it wont make sense but new arikoth is just astral with a different name tho

[cursive owl]

i dont want arikoth to have multiple planets as i want to keep arikoth and its moons and what not

[edgy bear]

You do you

What if one of the moons has the og campaign ideas and the main planet can keep what you have now

[cursive owl]

current arikoth is straying too far away from my og vision which i dont rlly like tbh

[edgy bear]

Oki dok

[cursive owl]

so we are back to this version :p

lets get started

heres also an example of the new palette

[atomic heath]

@cursive owl can we get the test map so we could check out this mod while waiting for the campain?

[cursive owl]

you clearly dont know how to read

[karmic hare]

No

I would ignore him tbh

There’s a reason the old version didn’t stick

[pastel lake]

For me old arikoth is better, but i would like beat fully new arikoth

[pastel lake]

also can you please remove pnone indentificator from your server?

[cursive owl]

hmmmm

so im redoing a lot of things

:p

this time we got a solid diagram of the early - midgame

and.. we dont have a thousand loose strings everywhere

also palette is now astral abyss's and old arikoth is more of a relic of the past

dont care abt it

[karmic hare]

…

[lean fiber]

this is no longer very peak

[cursive owl]

it is still the same thing

im just fixing a lot of things

gonna recolor palladium

i hate the current palette

luckily it wasnt too hard to remove old arikoth

still have the old ver

[lean fiber]

ok man

[cursive owl]

dw im not changing anything

im adding new stuff tho

neat i also saved the palette

i'll work on turrets

then ima go work on power

expect some of the crazier sneak peeks today

specifically the nuke launcher

[leaden radish]

I'm looking forwards to any updates, regardless of which arikoth it is

keep going

[cursive owl]

-# i got a stupid idea

what if i make both arikoth's two different mods and after i finish the current one i hop to the other one

so ima start off with the air units

[pastel lake]

please?

[cursive owl]

defences to keep a certain someones alts out

[pastel lake]

its difficult to me to indentify by phone

[cursive owl]

fine

done..

[pastel lake]

thanks

[cursive owl]

yall sadly im redoing the env, not entierly expect much of the stuff to stick except recolored

[velvet cobalt]

making a new mod without making a new mod

[cursive owl]

not rlly half of the stuff is just getting slightly resprited (cuz most the rocks were astral's sprites)

[velvet cobalt]

ah

[cursive owl]

hehehe

[cursive owl]

the madness continues

[cursive owl]

this place is silent again

[lean fiber]

hi

wait... is it outputting silica gel packets

omg... sand/quartz

[karmic hare]

I really like the scheme designs of this

[cursive owl]

armor press (scaled down)

[lean fiber]

huh???

what is that crafting table building

[cursive owl]

water filter

[karmic hare]

@leaden radish they made the door drawer in hjson lmao

[cursive owl]

heh

its also drawPistons

[lean fiber]

didnt that weird brown building need ichor like 3 seconds ago

or whatever the yellow thing is

omfg

[cursive owl]

the glowing one or the press

[lean fiber]

istg why do you insert ichor like that

[cursive owl]

heat

its a heat source and usually used raw in drills and earlygame power

[leaden radish]

the pistons aren't exactly the same as my doors

they werent flexible enough for me to use

[cursive owl]

the only error with the pistons is they can desync

[leaden radish]

well yeah the doors never would

unless you set them to not care about crafting cycles

[cursive owl]

ima go eep, see yall tomorrow

[leaden radish]

because the doors could run off of build.progress() instead of build.totalProgress(), and the latter is smoothed and therefore not synced with the crafting cycle

[haughty crypt]

ok

[cursive owl]

im rewriting the osts

[velvet cobalt]

i think the effect could be improved if it scaled in transparency too such that the appearance is not too jarring

[cursive owl]

m so like it fades in

[velvet cobalt]

yes

perhaps with some sine-like interp

such that it fades in quickly, then out slowly

[cursive owl]

funny

[cursive owl]

:D

now time to add the sun

[lean fiber]

where did you get the font

[cursive owl]

andashik made the verison im using

uhh lemme quickly go get it

[lean fiber]

is it uh free to use

[cursive owl]

here

[lean fiber]

thank you

[cursive owl]

finallized version

[lean fiber]

fancy

[weak sparrow]

-# Actually font was created by Thomas Things if I remember correctly. I just deleted blurring

[cursive owl]

im scrapping most of the lategame to actually provide a fun, yet challenging and most importantly polished experience

so im only working till the midgame then we'll see where we go next

[karmic hare]

wdym I was the one that did that

did you really do that yourself lmao?

this has got to be the third time someones done this

[weak sparrow]

Lmao

[cursive owl]

mm should i integrate neoplasm in this smh

[cursive owl]

ive been brainstorming a bit and ive decided the unit trees

hybrids:
hover - flicker
spider - scarab
default:
dunemobiles - saba
hover-copters - scorpion
mechs - wanderer
support:
air - sanctum

[cursive owl]

ig ima go work on astral or smth

[cursive owl]

screw it, im going hyperium mode

[cursive owl]

my current problem is that i cram every idea i have into the tech tree

and i need to stop that

also i remembered, arikoth isnt supposed to have a campaign untill i finish every bit of content

expect devving to go silent for a bit

[cursive owl]

i've finally got the courage of spriting bismuth and cobalt

specifically bismuth

[cursive owl]

well this post would be a lot quieter

cuz i spoil too much of the content

[velvet cobalt]

bismuth is difficult

my attempt at it a while back was... Suboptimal™

same with cobalt

hoping you can do better, good luck

[cursive owl]

mostly because its a mix of the most random colors

[velvet cobalt]

indeed

[haughty crypt]

ok

[velvet cobalt]

simple but cool

[cursive owl]

i lack ideas

i need an idea for a nitride tier turret

[cursive owl]

after im done with the t3s of every unit tree and tech tree sorting, im going to make a new release that doesnt end up getting redone

[cursive owl]

i am making ammonium nitrate ridiculously explosive

and i mean this level of explosiveness

https://tenor.com/view/jpsaririah-stantwt-stantwitter-gif-1257672996231736171

[haughty imp]

how many casualties in this video i wonder

[cursive owl]

idk

all i know is the explosion took place in Beirut

[haughty imp]

after some quick search, it said 218

rest in peace for those people

[cursive owl]

rest in peace

[foggy roost]

rest in peace

[cursive owl]

._. i think i need to increase the size of hover units

cuz i forgot how large my spider units get

[cursive owl]

time to work on the env

so like time to make the crimson mesas

[jagged sun]

I think I found a bug, and I hope this is the right place to put it, but scarlet slate walls are sometimes not working properly

[edgy bear]

Had this issue before. There are not enough sprites for all the variants there are meant to be so it replaces the missing sprites with wrong texture folder

[jagged sun]

I get the same thing for every terrain bit that has no texture

[cursive owl]

._.

[surreal halo]

Yooo this explosion happened in my country🫠

[haughty imp]

did you got the impact? (direct or indirect, optional)

[cursive owl]

i am recoloring all the decals on the units

[lean fiber]

ok

[cursive owl]

also the akra tree may or may not change

[cursive owl]

btw you like making maps right?

-# if you want, can you make maps for arikoth?

[lean fiber]

it would be very nice to get the mod itself since i cant really make maps for a mod when i dont even have the mod itself

@cursive owl it would be so awesome for you to actually respond to my message

also yes i can make maps for arikoth

[edgy bear]

Being patient is rather cool dude

Just saying

[cursive owl]

huh

thanks

im gonna give you the beta thingy when im done with the env

[lean fiber]

i was assuming that like. people would actually wait more than 3 milliseconds for a response

[cursive owl]

time to improve the env

not like redo it, kinda like add lots of new things

[cursive owl]

im removing the geysers

cuz they dont look good and they dont fit in the env

[cursive owl]

time to make the local wildlife

finally...

[open ether]

did i hear life

whys everyone making creatures lmao

[cursive owl]

[cursive owl]

re-basing the palette isnt too difficult ngl

[cursive owl]

yea i want to be annoying so 6x6 cores

[cursive owl]

idk how to make boss osts so i resorted to remixing vanilla osts

[lean fiber]

when is that env doneness

[cursive owl]

most of it is done

[lean fiber]

ok

[cursive owl]

check the lastest release

[weak sparrow]

You can add custom soundtracks in json mod with scripts

[cursive owl]

im adding tanks

even tho i hate making them

[keen badger]

Omg so kind of you

[weak sparrow]

I love tanks. I hate making treads for them (code part).

[lean fiber]

i frontal lobe tanks

[weak sparrow]

disappearing

[cursive owl]

yes

i hate treads

[keen badger]

Blehhhh

[velvet cobalt]

this has me in shambles and i don't know why

[lean fiber]

ok

[cursive owl]

luxis team entry

[open ether]

what is that colored bottom line

why does it sounds like in duo we trust, in duo we claim victory

[cursive owl]

its kinda similar to it

it means In Light, Truth; In Truth, Light

[cursive owl]

insanity

second sector btw

:P

[haughty imp]

in dpr we trust, in dpr we betrayed

[cursive owl]

gonna finally stop sidequesting and get to making the env

[keen badger]

Finaly

[karmic hare]

Hear me out. Custom block explosion effects 🧌

[cursive owl]

i will try

most likely i will tho

[haughty crypt]

pattern recognition

[wispy blaze]

in light there is truth, in truth there is light?
or something like that

[weak sparrow]

Yes, CY4NIDE already wrote answer :|

[wispy blaze]

I did not see that

[cursive owl]

apparently arikoth's file thing got corrupted

...

idk what to say now

...

[cursive owl]

also i might try making the new version in java

Arikoth - Remaking into java

[weak sparrow]

Hell yeah
More java

[cursive owl]

now alot of fun things will happen

i managed to make the test planet load (duplicate of psammos(test planet))

[bold quest]

good luck! it won't be easy work though

[cursive owl]

it isnt too difficult tbf

it feels like hjson with a few extra steps

[bold quest]

you will find it gets harder soon ;D

when u try new mechanics

[cursive owl]

i forgot how many new drawers and fun stuff i have my hands on now

sorry if im overreacting tho

managed to get it work :D

its empty rn but i promise its gonna get better

[mint jungle]

wait until you gonna make new stuff not just hjson like ones

[cursive owl]

i already have everything i need

every bullet type, everything

i just have to copy some files from astral lib

ah also xethiel and vagus will now have a better palette

[cursive owl]

:D

quartzite, ferric stone, aerna sand

[weak sparrow]

Oh about that. You shouldn't just copy it...
Because 1) It's still broken. 2) I think we can make it better than just bunch of mindless copy-paste of bullets from other mods
-# I mean there are atleast 1 class that you may not need in mod

-# I can help with it after you publish first java ver on repository

[wispy blaze]

hmm
consider custom features

[haughty crypt]

ok

[atomic heath]

Ig we'll gonna do a new meme

Arikoth tommorow

[keen badger]

I guess were doing java now

[cursive owl]

ofc we're doing java

java is better :p

[cursive owl]

im gonna make a new post following the java release

[weak sparrow]

Why don't just use this post?

[cursive owl]

im not sure idk tbh

[weak sparrow]

New version of mod will be on java but it still same Arikotn even if there will be massive changes in content

[karmic hare]

You alr have “remaking to Java” on this one

[cursive owl]

k

[haughty crypt]

Arikoth - Remaking into java - Remaking into java - Remaking into java

[leaden radish]

Arikoth - Remaking into java - Remaking into JS - Remaking into HJSON - Remaking into Java

[lean fiber]

Arikoth - NOT Remaking into anything

[limpid void]

Java - Remaking into Arikoth

[karmic hare]

Arikoth - demaking

[lean fiber]

Remaking - Demaking into ♻️

[leaden radish]

Remaking - Arikoth into Java

that one actually still sort of makes sense

[cursive owl]

lmao what happened here

[weak sparrow]

CY4NIDE — Remaking into HYPERIUM

[cursive owl]

indeed

[cursive owl]

finally we are making some progress

[haughty imp]

the shape of both sprites of the boulders very similar. feels like you only changed the detail and not the shape. but for other it looks nice, i especially like the large wall sprite, have a similar detail like one of six sprites of cobalt wall from exo-java

[cursive owl]

the similar ish shape is intended

[haughty imp]

why so?

[cursive owl]

they are kinda like volcanic melds, (they arent boulders) i didnt make the boulders yet. I used these as placeholders

[atomic heath]

No way

Oh

[keen badger]

ah yes
water from slag

[cursive owl]

ye

[keen badger]

silicon from sand???!!?!?!!?

no more siligon omg

[cursive owl]

no silicon from quartz prolly

[karmic hare]

You gotta learn how to use commas, it’s confusing reading some of these.

I can’t tell if it’s
“No, silicon from quarts prolly”
Or if there’s no silicon from quartz

[edgy bear]

No updates

[cursive owl]

you ask for update i give you mech preview

[edgy bear]

Holy shit ask and you may recieve

[velvet cobalt]

the firing pattern of the main cannons reminds me of the Starsector Hurricane MIRV

[cursive owl]

i plan on using the Hurricane MIRV as a reference lmao

[velvet cobalt]

wait, you play starsector?

[cursive owl]

no not really i just watch random vids every so often

[velvet cobalt]

ah

unexpected regardless; a pleasant surprise

[cursive owl]

hover unit

[cursive owl]

hehe

[dusk bramble]

oh there's the squishwave

[haughty imp]

just my op, make the missile give immobilize effect and make the charge 1-2 sec longer
. i think it'll looks cool

or some effect combo

loke the missile gives effect 'a', and the railgun bullet gives the 'activator' effect 'b'

[cursive owl]

so ima resprite most of the units

and get a lot of stuff done hopefully

[lean fiber]

arikoth release date 3027

[cursive owl]

prolly

i've learnt to not rush this mod cuz i want to make sure its polished

[lean fiber]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1097687465524998180/1205205007801126923/HSLoO2w.gif

[bold quest]

you're doing it well and way faster than me

[limpid void]

https://tenor.com/view/spin-record-cat-gif-21749933

[cursive owl]

unit decal color stuff:
pale-gold = assault units
blue = recon troops
purple = specialist units
unit classes:
assault: hovers, mechs
recon: tanks, helicopters
specialist: spiders

[karmic hare]

Cycle of agony.

[cursive owl]

so i made a few things

[edgy bear]

22nd unit resprite lets go

[cursive owl]

nah these guys are new

and likely wont get resprited

[edgy bear]

Yippeas

[limpid void]

I don't believe you

[velvet cobalt]

iteration makes things better generally

and these do look very good

[karmic hare]

Agreed

[cursive owl]

i need ideas

biome ideas

[velvet cobalt]

quartz-like crystalline biome that's mostly opaque, but some areas have been hit with high-heat (either meteorites, environment-destroying weaponry, or something else you feel fits your mod's direction) and been turned into glass

[cursive owl]

intriguing

still thinking of a name but interesting concept, might be useful for mass production of silicon

[cursive owl]

seeker

[cursive owl]

further playtesting
(second sector) name: tbd

[limpid void]

that looks so neat

[leaden radish]

neat to see my diagonal node idea finally make it into a mod with a chance of succeeding (none of mine had any)

[limpid void]

diagonal conveyors when

[leaden radish]

hold my intellij

[modest crypt]

mashed potato factory

[cursive owl]

lol

wait until yall see the Aberrated lifeforms

[karmic hare]

Clippy would never self deprecate

[mint jungle]

tommorow

[leaden radish]

eh its all good, everyone has to learn by creating a rotting pile of mediocre throwaway mods that never get released

or, alteast, thats the path I took

[cursive owl]

finally made a functioning tutorial

it works well

also no dont expect it to be released soon

anyhow time to work on amalgam production

[mint jungle]

when release

[silk flare]

Tommorow

[cursive owl]

sometime between now and the heat death of the universe

[cursive owl]

progress

[silk flare]

Progress❗ ❗

[cursive owl]

so ive made most of the unit trees (t4, t5 and bosses excluded)

[cursive owl]

yall know these goobers

also these ones

lastly these guys

[wispy blaze]

that
that's not how helicopters work
the blade's blur should be smooth all around, it looks like it's getting hung up every quarter turn

[cursive owl]

eh the -full sprites are wips rn

so as the helicopters

also are you talking abt the shine thingy

or the radial blur itself

[wispy blaze]

I'm talking about the stillframe of the blades placed under the blur

[cursive owl]

ah

its rotates ingame

[wispy blaze]

that's not how motion blur works

[cursive owl]

?

[wispy blaze]

ok that looks cursed
that's not how light works

the highlights shouldn't rotate

[cursive owl]

im kinda stupid so its like that :p

also i dont rlly care abt realism tho

[limpid void]

if the lights did not spin, or spin much slower, it would look much better

[cursive owl]

i might consider that

mmh

eh

[cursive owl]

updated outrider's rotors

and overall improved it

@wispy blaze is this what you wanted?

[wispy blaze]

yep

[limpid void]

[modest crypt]

[cursive owl]

confirmed release date

first two sectors

[mint jungle]

I trust you

[cursive owl]

first sector complete :p

that took way too long to make

luckily it works

[edgy bear]

You told me you were working on the third sector? Are you working on sectors before tech?

[cursive owl]

third one is a wip rn

need to polish the second one

[lean fiber]

hi i can still make maps you know

[cursive owl]

YEEEY

[limpid void]

now is the right time for a full mod redesign

[cursive owl]

lmao

[dapper bolt]

dam

[cursive owl]

nows a good time to report bugs cuz

i can fix them

[cursive owl]

gonna go ahead and work on the first TX unit yeeted at you

[cursive owl]

next thing to work on: arikothian progression

gonna put ghereon aside for a lil bit so i can get the bugs fixed and what not

[cursive owl]

hmm little goober

anti goober mechanisms

even more goobers

sniper

more anti goober mechanisms

very angry millipede

except its way too many tanks

mm atrax

looks different

[keen badger]

This is. The most tank looking tank ive ever seen in mindustry

Congratulations i guess

[cursive owl]

yey

[keen badger]

https://media.tenor.com/Syg5Gr4Q1akAAAAM/congratulations-congrats.gif

[cursive owl]

so im making luxis have the malis pal again

andd conquisitoris is also now the default blue team

[cursive owl]

so gonna fiddle around with the sizes of turrets

so changing all post blast compound tech to 4x4s and 5x5s

also replacing augment -> paroxysm

augment is now a smaller turret

vanadium tier turrer

[keen badger]

~~Stolen from echo feet paraxosm drill!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~~

[cursive owl]

stolen from an old arctican turret

[keen badger]

https://media.tenor.com/_RY1SVTgEE4AAAAM/spong-funny.gif

[cursive owl]

We are getting somewhere :D

[cursive owl]

EE

:p

Ee EeeeEe

[cursive owl]

Arikoth - mod showcase ig

[cursive owl]

replaced nickel with magnesium

[dapper bolt]

i'm gonna pee on it

[cursive owl]

why tho?

icher extractor redo

chemotrophic cell

[dapper bolt]

because it'll explode

[bold quest]

no chemistry in mindustry

[dapper bolt]

screw yu

[cursive owl]

fair enough lol

[keen badger]

Have you tried using the less vanilla shine?

Imo serp shine is worse then what people usualy do

[cursive owl]

i usally use it for flatter areas

and might not use it later on, ATM im experimenting with the useage of "mixed shines"

[cursive owl]

polishing the env

rn its kinda wonky (not the ablated wastes tho)

so ima have to redo all the crimson stuff and might give mercuric stuff the boot

[cursive owl]

ima go work on a separate project for a little bit
also no this isnt abandoned

rn i can't find the motivation to work on arikoth

[cursive owl]

nvm ima go work on units

specifically the smaller units or smth

[pine plinth]

when leaks

[cursive owl]

soon

[cursive owl]

gonna polish the concept of genus

or smth like that forgor the new name

gonna make hasp a lil different

and lastly beef up frame

ah and redo helicopters as they are very janky and unpolished ATM

[cursive owl]

taking a small break from Arikoth :p

rn i might work on iero

[cursive owl]

:p

[cursive owl]

osts - Vapor

Osts - Threshold

[cursive owl]

Osts - ShatteredCore

[cursive owl]

honestly im considering adding that

[cursive owl]

Acithar - mod showcase stuff

changed the name cuz its a star system-mod

[cursive owl]

ehehe

[cursive owl]

Tech Branches:
Hadal
Voltaic
Icherean
Decay
Fragmentary

[kindred surge]

hadal?

hadal blacksite?

https://tenor.com/view/roblox-pressure-hadal-blacksite-gif-2055106521907654344

[cursive owl]

do i keep this as a star system scaled mod?

[keen badger]

sure

[cursive owl]

gonna give all the factions somewhat different tech styles

also im changing styles again :p

as a whole, most things will get resprited and more like what i thought of arikoth when i first sketched out all the concepts

arikoth's new style is kinda what my sketch books have

[cursive owl]

also also, after arikoth is complete here and in all the other games i plan on modding it into

i turn it into a game

[cursive owl]

drills:
aperture drill, 3x3
falx drill, 5x5
ion plasma drill, 8x8
seismic blasting rig, 14x14

[keen badger]

4x4 6x6 8x8 and 12x12 is a better progression imo

or at least 4x4 5x5 8x8 and 14x14 cuz a 3x3 drill with a 14x24 drill in one progression is prob too much

[cursive owl]

Arikoth - mod showcase stuff

[keen badger]

ok

[limpid void]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/884672626574884924/1342928139356995584/togif.gif

[cursive owl]

time to make first 5x5

and your fourth turret ingame

[cursive owl]

i should really start to document how much progress i've made

[cursive owl]

OH almost forgot

uhh we're running into technical difficulties

thunderhead

[keen badger]

multicrafter?

[cursive owl]

yeah

nh code

[limpid void]

epic

[leaden radish]

Do the drills output quartz (which is what I assume the bores are mining) or does the smelter eat sand too

[keen badger]

the smelter is a multicrafter

#1355330535873839398 message

[leaden radish]

Cool

[cursive owl]

how did you know :O

-# prolly cuz quartz contains silicon

[leaden radish]

Yeah

Both silica sand and quartz are just silicon dioxide

[cursive owl]

regolith isn't really silica rich sand

but it's close enough for the smelters to work

btw you have any ideas on what i should do abt some sectors not having quartz

[leaden radish]

Could add anything from amethyst through citrine to opal but those are different ways of saying fancy quartz

[cursive owl]

no like quartz has its own mini-biome, and some sectors won't have said biome in them

[leaden radish]

Either you find some other natural chemical with silicon or do fusion reactors

[cursive owl]

-# got a stupid idea, quartz = SiO2, so 2O3 + 3Si = 3SiO2

we have silica-sand so we can get quartz that way

[leaden radish]

Its a thing, if you zap it with enough power

Oh wait I read it backwards

I think you can just burn silicon if you powderize and heat it enough

[cursive owl]

prolly gonna make the player use the lithium reactors or slag heaters to heat it

[leaden radish]

The reaction should be exothermic though, I think you just need some starter heat

[cursive owl]

resprite coming soon™

We are so beeping back

powering off and calling it a night

cya all tomorrow 10 am-ish

[pine plinth]

WOAHHH

[cursive owl]

how many ppl actually check this place?

[leaden radish]

I do

Cool thing that you got a proper base working

[cursive owl]

took me a few cycles of edit ingames and playtests

[pine plinth]

*much

[modest crypt]

i do

everyday btw

[weak sparrow]

I pretty much do check Mindustry modding, RU mindustry modding, some posts here in modding-forum and some other servers everyday...

[mint jungle]

pretty much most of modders that atleast a little bit interested in modding ig

[kindred surge]

I always do this

But i dont read anything

[cursive owl]

tenk

[ebon hound]

Petition to add an orbital airstrike unit

(For fun onby)

[cursive owl]

already planned lol

gonna appear for in a few sectors

[ebon hound]

（・∀・）

Peak

[cursive owl]

gonna go work on coreskant

and rename it

sounds to similar to coruscant

[ebon hound]

Or even

Crossaunt

[ebon hound]

Ok don't laugh and yes ik its kinda ugly but I made a design for the orbital strike unit t5 on paper

Yes its so fuckin ik ugly

[kindred surge]

what is this doing to arikoth

[ebon hound]

Cyanide is going to add an orbital strike unit to this mod

[cursive owl]

to be fair that is how i imagine it's shields

[ebon hound]

Ye but I made the design for the actuall unit model

[ebon hound]

Cool

[ebon hound]

This gives me pp scout ptsd

But still very cool

[velvet cobalt]

damn this is actually pretty cool

didn't mean to replyping mb

[velvet cobalt]

same w/ this, you're undoubtedly getting better—love the way the bullets are properly sized, looks more polished

[cursive owl]

oh i dont mind lol

[velvet cobalt]

genuinely very cool, idk how you did the spinning barrel lol

looking forward to trying this mod out someday

practice makes perfect for sure

[cursive owl]

btw.. im working on giving arikoth a ring system
-# (ring code is by arksource)

[cursive owl]

some part jank

[limpid void]

looks very omaloony
-# almost makes me think that arksource's code is code by zelaux either from omaloon or his own mod core

me when I consider any planetary rings to be my legal property

[cursive owl]

arksource did kinda use omaloons code

[limpid void]

[velvet cobalt]

anyone want spaghetti and meatballs

[cursive owl]

me me me

[velvet cobalt]

i like how the hammer slams into the back

makes it feel punchy

[cursive owl]

got a stupid idea:
t1s and t3s are made in constructors
t2s are upgrades to t1s
t4s and t5s are assembler made

[kindred surge]

its just erekir but t3 is made without t2

[cursive owl]

t4s and t5s dont require units

modules instead

[kindred surge]

like erekir

[cursive owl]

erekir needs units to make t4s and t5s you goober

[kindred surge]

oh

i didnt know

[cursive owl]

-# do you even play this game or smth?

[kindred surge]

i didnt even unlocked units on serpulo

and erekir uh

to the titan turret

[lean fiber]

epic fail

[cursive owl]

really? come on you know you can atleast get to origin

[leaden radish]

weaver, really cool

[cursive owl]

btw its a remake of these

[ebon hound]

Phase weaver export sector

[cursive owl]

we dont do launch pads

[ebon hound]

Ye ik

Im having PTSD of the shit that went down when i made it

They are hard to make a lot of

[cursive owl]

-# if you couldn't tell this was inspired by meld

[ebon hound]

Lol

[cursive owl]

i plan on making a new post soon, i'll dedicate this place to old arikoth

will old arikoth get updates?
maybe

is new arikoth still alive?
absolutely

[cursive owl]

Old Arikoth - mod showcase stuff
