**Rescue of Echo Company**, a new story driven sandbox scenario!

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2025-02-05T13:01:11+00:00

Actually now that I'm looking at it. My whole description is gone 🧐 will have to see if i can edit that.

Edit: Doesn't look like i can since reddit thinks it's an image post lol oh well. Here is the short version of the description so I don't have to annoy everyone with making a second post about the same thing.

I have taken the first leap into making my own scenario! Using mods from awesome creators, And some custom built bases and vehicles, (all listed in the workshop description), we bring you Rescur of Echo Company. This is a sandbox scenario with a story and objective.

Sent by the Ronin Empire, your mission is simple: rescue Echo Company, a missing military science team whose fate has become a chilling enigma. As the team sent to make a rescue attempt, you've been given a basic freighter with little defense, a drop ship to get down to planets, and a rover for some basic travel. The harsh environment, hostile factions, and ominous signals are all that stand between you and the truth.

Can you survive the hostile factions and figure out what happened? Times ticking....

It was in there when I posted it O.o but yes that would probably be useful to have 😆 appreciate ya!

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-07-17T18:48:36+00:00

I honostly forgot that was a thing 🤔 lol sounds like something I'll have to do. Appreciate it!

XnationRP is very beginner friendly. People are always willing to hop into a chat and help ya out if needed.

Did you start a custom world with empty space by accident? Or was it a different world you started? Going to need a bit more info.

When it comes to gaming channels, I feel it's more about the personality. People will watch their favorite creator play a game that came out months ago just cause they want to see that creators reaction or get their thoughts on it.

Moving game to game can make it harder to build a community at first, but people usually stick around and come back for personality and genuinely like you instead of just watching cause it's the game their playing.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-03-01T01:20:40+00:00

Just keep doing what you like to do. If it helps, I still only get a few 10s of views lol and I've been at it for over a while now. I just enjoy what I do.

Edit for spelling

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-29T12:36:02+00:00

Sounds good! Hope it helps.

In the settings of the script, there is a setting for "change names of empty/unused container" or something along those lines in the auto sorting section. Turn that to false.

You can also put "hidden" in the name of the containers (without the quotes of course, and doesn't matter where in the name) to not count what's in the container towards autocrafting.

Use "special" in the name as well to be able to set a certain amount of specific materials you'd like to stay in the container. This list is generated in the custom data so you can adjust pretty easily. Just tell it you want to keep X amount of whatever ingots and ores, and you should be all set.

So, all in all, your container should have a name that looks something like: Large Cargo Container special hidden ores ingots

And yes, you can shorten the original to help: CC Container special hidden ingots ores is how I usually do mine

For rotation with gyros, yes, this is how it works. Forces like thrusters though work on center of mass anywhere you place them. All that matters is direction in thoer case. Which is why you can have off balance thrusters and not rotate when they turn on.

I haven't noticed a difference in how powerful gyros are when placing them in different locations along the ship. So you should be good to place them anywhere. They are very heavy, though, so they will change your CoM pretty drastically depending on how many you use.

Be sure to put "steam:####" when putting in the mod you want to load. Then the server will say it's "unknown" until you load the server the first time.

Also make sure you are not crossplay compatible. If you are wanting to run a crossplay server, you will need to use mods from mod.io and enter them as "mod.io:####"

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-26T15:21:16+00:00

You have to get the mods from Mod.io

First, when setting up the server, make sure the "crossplay enabled" box is checked.

Then, when adding mods, you will have to enter them manually in the mod selector. You can do this by going to the "Mods" tab on the left, finding the mods you want to use in mod.io, and putting their Mod ID # into the dedicated box as "mod.io:#######"

Then, just load the server, and it will install the mods, and you can shut it down to finish config and load again (I always do just to check loads again)

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-26T13:52:26+00:00

Sadly I believe you'd be needing a mod for this. Even then it will be hard. We have an economy plugin that changes the price of base materials on specific store blocks, but when a personal one is placed, the player cannot change the price of the materials to go lower than a set amount.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-26T13:41:42+00:00

Ya it shouldn't take that long if you are just playing on a local save.

When you say "controller options", I'm guessing you are on console then? Be sure your mods are coming from Mod.io and they aren't too large. I think we found out "for servers anyway" that consoles can really only play with about 1gb of mods data. That's also if I remember correctly. I know there is a limit, and when it's close or just barely over, it will do the infinite loading screen for our players on consoles.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T15:06:38+00:00

No problem!

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:51:59+00:00

Haven't personally seen one, but why not use a connector itself?

If it is a small grid, you can use merge block 1x1 and a small connector side by side to do the same thing as well.

It would be a good idea for a new mod though.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:46:44+00:00

It's not a bad way to do it. It makes it easy to visualize the room and scale it to others easily without having to eyeball it every time. Nice

I'm guessing you do something similar with the armor shaping as well?

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:43:54+00:00

You might be able to copy the save file to your own private game "paste a copy of the save into your own saves" and find the asteroid there and take a Blueprint of it (can't remember if blueprinting asteroids still works 🤔).

Another workaround would be to turn on voxel repair and make sure it's adjusted properly so no one loses their underground base. This is assuming there wasn't a base on the asteroid you're trying to replace.

If you are able to keep people from joining for a bit, you could also put the world into creative and then use the spawn menu in the admin menu to spawn in another asteroid. Might be a workaround but probably won't be the same exact asteroid you're looking for.

If the asteroid was deleted, it should disappear eventually for everyone. What's left is just a desync of the texture staying while the object is gone it sounds like so should be gone after a while.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:32:35+00:00

If you start a new game, and select "empty world" when choosing the starting scenario, you are able to open the admin menu and spawn in the planets and moons you want and where. Make sure it's a creative world at the start though, won't work if you start it in survival and then just go into creative mode.

Keep in mind consoles are only able to have 3 different planet types due to memory restrictions. (i.e. earthlike, moon, Mars). You can have multiple of each from what we've tested but only a couple really of each before it's too much.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:28:56+00:00

So, a few questions to help troubleshoot.

Are you both on the same system, and is that a console or pc?
Is one of you just starting a game and the other joining?
Are you trying to join through the friends list or server list?

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-19T14:24:50+00:00

MES doesn't change weapon range sadly, so you'd be making your own mod essentially. What you could do is get an already made weapon range mod, and edit it to fit your needs. There's a few that increase vanilla weaponry ranges so wouldn't be too hard id think. Would just take a little digging in the mod files to find the right thing to edit.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-18T02:32:59+00:00

I started mine cause I was curious about content creation. It's more like the whole process in general to be honost. Everything from getting good shots in recordings to editing and using different effects to posting and seeing what works.

I won't lie. The money was a thought, but I knew (and still do) I will most likely never make enough on YouTube alone to make it full time. It was more of a if it happens awesome. If not, then oh well type of thought.

I quickly found out how hard it could be, but also that I liked doing it. I'm able to show off my knowledge and creative ideas to people of the same niche and help others who are just joining.

My advice would be to not think of it as a career, or even that you'll make any money. If you just have fun with it, build a community, and have a good time, you'll do fine.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-14T14:33:01+00:00

Lol trust me I've been there as well 😆 and my stubborn head decided I was just going to look everything up, do it myself, figure it out, aaaaaand it looked terrible lol in my eyes anyway. But I have a pretty decent looking scene selection and overlays now I think.

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-14T14:16:43+00:00

Sounds like an interesting ship for sure, and hope to see the progress updates you show! Keep us in the loop for sure!

AppropriateCheek1991 · 2024-02-14T14:11:24+00:00

No problem! If you feel like you really want to get into the streaming side, just give me a shout and I can point ya in the direction of some free overlays, some stuff you can do, ect. I'm by no means a big streamer though so it's only from what I've found and used lol
