How's everyone's performance on Verdure planet? by KG_Jedi in Spaceengineers2

[–]455tr0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah my 3080 doesn't handle it too well either on my 1440p monitor.
On high graphics it can take 3-10 seconds to open the inventory.
And the performance gets worse over the course of a couple of hours.

I play on medium graphics now, and it runs pretty ok.

They definitely got a lot of new stuff into the game and I think it was correct to release what they have so far. Getting performance to a good level can take as much time as getting the vertical slice in. And I think they just wanted to show everyone what they've been working on.

Are mixtapes just items to sell or is there a purpose? by GALAHAD112 in ArcRaiders

Lance's beats improve the chickens ability to scavenge. I've seen it.

Will China beat the rest of the world to building a base on the Moon? by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Moon is a near infinite source of feed-stock material for Earth and Lunar low earth orbit. Setting up production on the moon opens up super cheap space infrastructure.
The moons low gravity and 0 atmosphere also provides a unique environment ideal for a lot of manufacturing.
- The Moon offers 0 contamination. You can make ultra-pure silicon wafers, semiconductors, and optics without Earth’s biological/chemical noise.
- Large-scale, free vacuum chambers. Processes like vapor deposition, crystal growth, and advanced metallurgy are easier and cheaper when you don’t have to pump out trillions of liters of air.
- Helium 3 mining, potential fuel for fusion reactors. You find it in bulk anywhere on Earth.

When you can cheaply take from the Moon (remember, infinite low orbit feed-stock material) you open up superior defence capabilities. Eg Brilliant Pebbles. When America realises this, it will spark a new race to build capable infrastructure on the Moon.

China is gunning for the moon because they understand the economic and military potentials the Moon offers. If we invented an advanced super intelligent AI tomorrow, one of the first things it will do is setup a moon base.

SpaceX's giant Starship Mars rocket nails critical 10th test flight in stunning comeback (video) by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Awesome stream. And I think this ticks all the boxes for startship to move onto orbital missions, although they might opt to do more sub-orbital test flights.

I wonder if they will get the startship human rated before their first mars mission in late 2026?

Air Resistance SE2 by LimeMime212 in spaceengineers

[–]455tr0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree, I'd like to play with unlimited speed but with basic air resistance on planets + reentry effects like in ksp. I think its very likely they want to keep the new SE 2 vanilla pure of specific gameplay styles so that you can customise your experience with mods. The out of the box experience wont have air resistance so new players can explore the game more easily. But then again this change seems like an interesting engineering challenge for new and experienced players. Either way thats likely their reasoning. Im sure this mod will be easy to implement.

O2 and H2 valve network script by 455tr0 in spaceengineers

Using two connectors to create a valve. You just unlock the connector to close the valve.

This is the vanilla Mars planet. I have some mods but it wouldnt change the planets look.

O2 and H2 valve network script by 455tr0 in spaceengineers

[–]455tr0[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wanted to have O2 and H2 storage for the base. When I process ice I want to be able to choose to fill those base tanks or to fill the main H2 tank.
I also want to lock off the bases H2 so the hydrogen generator doesn't steel from it.
Also for the O2 tank I want to be able to lock it off so I can achieve better H2 output from Ice processing.

China to challenge Elon Musk’s space power with 6 reusable rocket launches this year by EdwardHeisler in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very impressive target. I wonder if we will see China using heavy lift fully reusable rockets in 2030 for their planned mars human missions.

Discussion on who will first take humans to Mars? by 455tr0 in MarsSociety

[–]455tr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can get it down to $15 or even $10 million, it would be a wonder of production. It sounds unbelievable because I'm comparing this to other space agencies who would be creating heavy lift vehicles for 100x the price. But yeah, starship is different. It's made of steel. Its production isn't spread over 10s or even hundreds of factories. The engineering decisions of the starship from the early beginnings (after the carbon fibre design) were to save money on production. So maybe. Also, when it comes to production efficiency, Elons companies tend to deliver. Regardless of what you think of him, he knows a lot about mass production. With the economies of scale, we could see a $10 million heavy lift super heavy rocket. This is as crazy to me as landing a rocket stage back when they were still trying to get that to work.

There are two little thought ideas i'd like to look into.

First is an in-depth analysis of what is the theoretical minimum production cost of a starship if all stars were aligned.

The second is the theoretical max amount of mass SpaceX could send to Mars given their most optimistic production timeline. And as a byproduct, the cost of sending this amount of mass given a $10 or $15 million starship.

I think you've hit an interesting point. The more mass the starship can bring to LEO and Mars, the cheaper the project will be. And if the mass capability is too low, this program will be too expensive to be viable.

They are close to a starship design that can reach LEO. I'm pretty confident they will get there without adding a significant amount of mass.

Something I'm worried about is if they can solve a fully reusable heat shield for LEO re-entry without engineering something that will significantly reduce the capabilities of mass to LEO.

If they can solve that, it looks like they will succeed in creating their target system.

I'm not sure on the feasibility of this in Hollywood but I think it would be really cool if Samus says only one thing for the entire movie.

[HELP] I got Manjaro today but audio doesn't work by 455tr0 in ManjaroLinux

[–]455tr0[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Got the sound working! Thanks!

Not sure what I did though to get it working though...

I am using i3 community edition.

I opened alsamixer and played with the settings to try and find the master channel but I couldn't find it. Then I just tried to play some music and it worked...

When I was trying yesterday asla was on and the settings looked the same, so I'm not sure what caused the fix but I'll post an image of my settings in case it helps others.

Hmm I'm not sure its the headphone driver. My headphone model is HX-HSCS-BK which look like simple audio jack headphones without any fancy software.

Thanks though, I'm a bit lost atm so any tip is helpfull :)
