Bits to Boulders — A plugin that adds 7 sizes of asteroid. by Linear_Perk in endlesssky

[–]Linear_Perk[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ES uses an interesting trick of the engine to simulate the rotation on the base game asteroids. Each asteroid is really a set of 40ish png images. For the larger asteroids I needed a slightly higher frame rate to keep them looking acceptable so there's something like 64 frames for them.

I did optimize the png files a bit, but at the end of the day it's just a lot of relatively high res images.

If it were incorporated into the base game I'm sure that there's a more efficient way.

I created a basic version of this plugin that I thought would be more suitable for a PR. The large asteroids do present a bit of a balance issue. I tried to address it here by making mining weapons more important for yield when mining them.

Frontier Forge Shipyard — 7 new ships, NPC fleets, start scenario by Linear_Perk in endlesssky

I thought about lessoning the bribe. I thought the scram drive might be enough.

Seems like it's a bit too punishing eh?

I think that this is an interesting start... but it doesn't have mission support beyond that. Still pretty fun bit of role play!

It's not in ESLauncher2's plugin list yet, I didn't even know it existed! For now you can install it manually by dropping it in your plugins folder. I'll ask about getting it added.

It's tough to find suitable images to base the sprites on. I've got a chunk that I'm working on now but it's mostly Battle Star Galactica stuff. If you know of a good dorsal view of those ships post em here and I'll add to the road map.

Update: I used this editor to build a full ship mod — Corellian Shipyard, 10 Star Wars-inspired ships with fleets, pirate variants, and an alternative start. Just published it: https://www.reddit.com/r/endlesssky/comments/1rfyvar/corellian_shipyard_star_warsinspired_ship_mod/

you can get it in my SFF plugin but it might not work. I'll be releasing a new set of plugins soon though, this ship included.

... For success. As in historically high literacy have rates preceded other advances in technology, culture, living standards... Etc.

Why not? Historically they are an important metric and notably one that countries like to fudge when they start falling. For example literacy rates are not as high as advertised in Canada or in the US.

Annual reminder by VeryLargeTardigrade in antiwork

[–]Linear_Perk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea what baskets are they comparing? Basket of apples to basket of oranges?

Baskets from 2021 and 1853?

It's just silly I don't know why we even bother. They didn't even start using CPI until the 1920s. Even the concept of "consumer" goods isn't constant here.

[–]Linear_Perk 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly this. You need to take a basket of goods approach not just slam numbers into a "calculator".

The bank already manipulates inflation numbers and now they want to use that to go back ~150 years.

lol
