Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet

It's all wrong! There's a reason why both cliffs and water follow height lines, and no reason why forests should leave convenient thoroughfares for the character's car. That said, this garden will make a much better playground than untamed wilderness. Even if it poses the question of where the gard...

Re: Friday Facts #401 - New terrain, new planet

Great stuff! These shots look far more atmospheric. There is something I want to put forward to you, while you are working on planets and map generation: The availability of used map generation functions to mods. For explanation a use case for version 1.1: Let's say I want to make a mod, that fleshe...

Re: Multiplayer: Need a mod that creates corpse on player leave

Are you aware of the vanilla /open PlayerName command? It allows admins to open the inventory of any player, including offline players. It's what I use whenever someone leaves my multiplayer game with something important in their inventory. I have not been aware of that. That is good to know. Anywa...

Re: Multiplayer: Need a mod that creates corpse on player leave

My opinion is, that wishes on a game are different and I absolutely respect that. My view is that the stuff I carry is not mine but borrowed from the team. I always put the stuff I carry in chests befor I leave, no matter if I plan to return or not. Usually, when there is not enough of something in ...

Re: Multiplayer: Need a mod that creates corpse on player leave

I could add a kind of secret treasure map that would chart a chunk with a player corpse and tag the location in map view. This would make it easier to find hidden corpses, and it would give a further incentive to hunt for maps. :-) Putting all corpses in the 0,0 chunk would definitely prevent playe...

Re: Multiplayer: Need a mod that creates corpse on player leave

Thanks for your interest Pi-C! The direct answer to your question is: No there should be no special action on player return or other player join. The main goal behind my question is item preservation. There are two cases where items do get lost through inconsiderate player actions: 1) If items stay ...

Hello fellow engineers! I have a problem when hosting a game. I assume its port randomization. I list everything I know. The problem: After starting to host a game, I get this popup in game: "Unable to determine external IP address. Other players ..." This is the relevant (I believe, after...

Multiplayer: Need a mod that creates corpse on player leave

In mp players often make their mk2 first then run a round a bit, then leave. mk2 and all stuff they have on them goes with them. I am looking for a mod that creates a corpse if a player leaves the game. I know such feature exists in redmew scenarios. But does a mod also exist? I could not find anyth...

Re: Remove conveniences in favour of circuit networks

... I would like those features to be reduced to a level where it starts to make sense to use circuit networks ... I wonder why you ask this. Do you want to impose a bigger challenge in vanilla on yourself? I mean, you can, as you explained yourself, use th CN to drastically improve the efficiency ...

It is stated that this topic will be covered later as it is not yet implemented and we are deciding how and where do we want to do it.

Re: Super force building - The circle is closing

So in the end, wooden boxes in empty spots of a super force built blueprint that are then removed with a filter planner seems like it does the job even better, just requires an extra step simple step. I thought of wooden boxes too. :D But it kind of did not satisfy me. Wooden boxes, if built, do bl...
