Because they'll despawn, chew through about anything, and you can place natural blocks on an artificial ship to spawn them.

"Don't do it! You don't understand! They're infected!"
"...With what?"

...

"Block destruction."

I was still building my first spaceship, near an asteroid. When I opened the door, a squid flew in. And when I was mining an asteroid, one flew out at me. It's not that they're hard to kill, it's just that they give you a freaking heart attack.

+1, that what I was trying to say in an earlier post.
Anyway, playing with low gamma is pretty awesome, but can you mod the beacon lightning's colors? Blue is clean and tidy, but it would be great to have signals with other colors... Which brings me to the signal feature, it might have a lot of uses in multiplayer.

[Girlinhat]

You can edit the beacon and change the color and the pattern.  You can also link the beacon to a control block, though I'm not entirely sure what this does...

I tried to make a ship, but I can't seem to link hotkeys to different thrusters. How to do so ? I link the console to the thrusters (they get red), but after that ?

Press edit a second time while looking at the console.

Oh, tried looking at the thrusters, so it's facing the console, thank you.

Hahaha!  Bump!

[Graknorke]

Hahaha!  Bump!

I saw this in unread posts and thought that multiplayer had come out.
Now I am disappointed.

[Girlinhat]

Hahaha!  Bump!

Weren't you one of the people that said bumps and necros are fine, so long as they add content?

Maybe.  So let's add content.  Anyone been doing anything lately, or being thinking "I'd like to see X" and let someone else do it?

[Biopass]

Have some content.

I made this modpack for /vg/. My initial goal was to remake the economy so it wouldn't be terrible, but I got sidetracked when I discovered some very interesting ways to (ab)use the modding potential. Enjoy torpedo launchers, minelayers, handheld weapons from Traveller, ship-mounted weapons from Homeworld, and some other stuff. This version is a beta (and a rough one at that), and a lot of the values are placeholders. It's also a creative version, which means you start with Cheatyface SynthPlastic (tm) and can use it to make more synthplastic or to make any item or block.

New version should be coming out sometime today (maybe), whenever I get around to it. It'll have better balance, weapon upgrades, and stealth technology (cloaking fields).

Glorious content...  Have you alerted the original developer to this?  If you can do this just modding, imagine what real game changes could do

I sent him an email with feature requests and feedback a while ago, sadly I haven't gotten a reply back.

The stealth module basically works by spawning a projectile (all cannon projectiles and bullets work the same way and have lots of configuration options) that is 20x20x20 blocks and colored pure black. It deals 0 damage, so while you can destroy the 'projectile', it won't damage anything, it simply makes the cloak vanish. It also has 0 movement speed, so it stays stationary.

Upgraded ones should be larger/have stars. But yeah. BADASSERY IS BADASS
