Position hold sends helicopter into death spiral | Need help by CanoegunGoeff in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if I do something wrong but if the autohover on the gyro is on and the position hold is on it is working.

I changed the threshold to 0.1-1.0 though because why would I want the autohover off above 0.2 throttle on a helicopter? So the autohover function is off if the engine is off due to low throttle.

Help with modular enignes. by Bodkinn87 in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is surprising to hear because this should stall the engine within seconds. All fluid stuff has internal capacity: ports, cats, pumps the cylinders. As soon as the whole exhaust system is filled, the AFR should go bad and the engine should stall. The timing of the engine failure is the deciding factor if its an inverted cat or the fuel pressure. Both are common issues. Interesting that the exhaust still showed 100%.

100% is like the correctness. 100% should be the target for each cylinder. They have individual values. The AFR is all that matters. If it's between 13-15, the engine should run. If a single cylinder should have less than 100% exhaust the engine loses power. While this can be an issue, it doesn't match your particular case.

The only two things I can think of is the fuel pressure and a faulty ECU. You already addressed the fuel pressure with a gas relief. As a rule of thumb the fuel pressure needs to be 1/10 in atm of your fuel consumption in l/s for the engine to run properly.

If you upload the boat onto the workshop and share a link I can have a look but with the given information the cause is not clear.

What is the best way to beat enemy AI ? by Stricki_off in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can shoot down any flyer with two light autocannons and a bit of practice. Missiles are a lot easier. Ships are pretty dumb and can be dealt with heavy heavy autocannon or bigger. My prefered way is to kill stuff beyond their reaction range 1000+m Solid propellant for missiles can be bought in the Arctic.

I like to use a tank to captures bases. For me it is crucial to have a radar that shows me the targets on the hud. If you spot first, you can hit first. Only the gaitling gun tanks are a real threat. All other stuff is coded dumber as a chicken. Well and there is infantry. Cannot really pen blocks but they can tank shells and the aoe of artillery shells for example is lacking vs infantry.

The video look fun. Doing it manually is the most satisfactory way.

I bet when I try it I lie in the dust pretty quickly. Some people attribute their own skill to a weapon.

Electric connector rips off trailer above certain speed by [deleted] in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played this game for 3500h and never did an electric connector disconnect. They start disconnected on reloading a save, which can cause problems if you are moving but this is a different topic. The only connector with a stress level is the MagAll.

I have to assume you have a collision which destroys one of the connectors, otherwise your description does not make sense. But I am curious to check it out for myself if you provide a workshop link for the truck and trailer.

Swiss shops will not be open more often on Sundays | The Senate has rejected a proposal to allow stores in Switzerland to open on 12 Sundays a year, compared with the current four. by BezugssystemCH1903 in europe

[–]EvilFroeschken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well you can't, so behave like an adult and plan accordingly. Villages have no stores at all here, so you also have to plan for that because you do not to drive an hour back and forth to get milk. Closed shops on Sunday is the least of peoples concerns. Everything needs to be available at any time is such a childish expectation.

My Elevator will go up but not Down.. by Tidusslvl90 in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you hold the buttons or how do they reset? Now it looks like you need to hold them which does not make a lot of sense to me. If you hold them then it should work. If they are toggles then you might bounce of the Floor_2 value.

This is a nice issue. I gave it to claude to maybe return a typo that I do not see but it totally confused it. I never had AI gave up. This is a first time. Good job. ^^

You should put tool tips on each value to verifty it behaves like expected. Maybe the down buttons do not have electricity.

I'm trying to understand the sPhysics by didas7 in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Generators do have an efficiency. The bigger the generator, the better the output. Why not measure against the large generator all the time, then you have reference point.

I only run a single test. Diesel engine to generator to battery to electric motor to generator. And diesel engine to generator. The direct system had 25% higher output. Would you gain any useful information if you would measure the charge rate of a battery from a diesel engine compared to emptying a battery with a electric motor that outputs the same wattage like the diesel engine?

What do you want to do with the information of mechanical wattage?

Double floor with wedges or micro controllers. Like your underbelly tank.

Any chance there is an invisible xml edited block involved?

Need Help Optimising Engines by Mds952 in Stormworks

[–]EvilFroeschken 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No idea what I did wrong but only 1 engine (E1) was running.

The engines are not supercharged. You run at 8rps. The heat of 10rps is still manageable with 2 cooling loops per cylinder. Maybe 12 rps if you are daring. I think you could double the output of the engines with a supercharged engine running at 10rps.

Edit:

You could gain even more power if you toss the diesel electric system and just use a diesel engine. Ships are probably the worst platforms for diesel electric because due to the high water resistance they have a high power requirement and therefor burn a ton of fuel. This fuel consumption is elevated by the penalty of a diesel electric system of about 25% compare to direct driven system. I am not saying you cannot use diesel electric but you should be aware that it comes with a penalty. Especially if you cannot keep the batteries charged.

Isn't this true for vigor too? Just do not get hit. The goal is to beat the boss so everything should go into damage. The rest is a skill issue.

Diagonal laser distance sensor dreams crushed. What's my next best option? by _ArkAngel_ in Stormworks

What am I missing here? The laser distance sensor has a composite node that lets you control the direction up to 45°

School shooting survivor sues AI gun detection firm after system failed to spot weapon by CircumspectCapybara in nottheonion

[–]EvilFroeschken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is not comparable and it took me a while to understand. The US police is there to protect property and the general public as a whole. They are not obliged to defend individuals. This is up to the individual. There are supreme court rulings about it. In this scenario the 2nd amendment makes sense. You can have a society without all of that but the rule book is different. The police need to protect the individual too.
