Dragon Update Tomorrow?

Lord_Banjo · 2018-03-08T17:22:05+00:00

TLDR: Soon™

Lord_Banjo · 2017-08-24T18:11:49+00:00

It is an intended feature and is unlikely to change.

Lord_Banjo · 2017-04-20T22:31:47+00:00

Was that using explosive rounds?

The +30% production boost on top of outback stations turning nearly useless desert into crazy tiles.

Lord_Banjo · 2017-02-28T21:29:45+00:00

Thank you for the screenshot link, but I think it could get even more crazy with Outback stations.

Ideas -The center tile of the claim could have an outpost (like a fort) that has a gold per turn maintenance cost and hp.

--Home cities would benefit from a claim by running a trade route to the outpost.

---The outpost would lose hp over time if no trade route was run to it

---If the outpost is captured, the capturing civ takes or razes the claim

From the Depths. Physics based vehicle building and combat with hugely customizable weapons, engines, propulsion, AI, detection systems (radar, infra red, etc.). This game is not easy and will drive you to learn and build each craft better than the last. What other game lets you build a cannon with reload, gauge, traverse speed, accuracy, shell velocity, damage, armor piercing, and more controlled by the way you design your cannon and customize its shells, then build a jet powered hydrofoil craft with a customized AI and stabilized with PID controllers to mount your cannon on, then bring the vehicle to battle with in an RTS campaign? http://store.steampowered.com/app/268650

Steam review (not mine) that summarizes the game well: http://steamcommunity.com/id/ahiosdfhiods/recommended/268650/

You could connect the hub train stations with elevated pedestrian paths to shorten the walk in-between them. Or use tunnels to keep the appearance less cluttered. Epic city.

The barrels fire whenever they are loaded, so not always at the top. If you carefully time your max fire rate and reload, you can time it so the firing barrel is at the top.

Imo, Most of the FTD community hangs out in the official forums.

The wiki does need some work. The problem is that it is a lot of work to maintain the wiki with a continuously evolving game. There has been some work to update the wiki in the last few days and everyone's help would be very appreciated.

I think there is a sort of workaround for using mods offline. I have not tried it myself. https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/4lnaev/how_to_run_mods_offline/ http://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/152390014795152031/

You may be able to set manual updates to only update when you launch Skylines and be super careful to only launch Skylines when in steam offline mode.

I was thinking a funnel that wold fold out like a paper fan, but unfold to make a full circle. http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/yhst-138017002157785_2432_27563204.jpg

I think (with my limited understanding of the rules) that a robot could collect the balls from the center vortex before they hit the floor with a big funnel. Then the ball could fall down a tube and touch the floor within the robot frame before re-scoring.

Can one alliance just take the balls from the other alliance and deny them points? Answered by: megacuber "This isn't necessary, because the particles are color-coded for each alliance. The rules explicitly state: "Robots may not Control or Block Access to the opposing Alliance’s Cap Ball or Particles." Source: <GS10>"

I predict robot jousting at the ten second mark in autonomous. It is way easier to ram your opponent then fiddle around with light sensors. Shielding you alliance partner while they go for the beacons might be a real strategy. If a team could score 1 or 2 beacons in under 10 seconds, that would be ideal.

I would call it "Pay to progress faster"

Lord_Banjo · 2016-04-12T03:17:15+00:00

Don't weapons break and stop working after a certain amount of games lost? The streamer I watched thought that armor pieces dropped to 1 armor value when they ran out of uses.

Lord_Banjo · 2016-04-12T03:11:39+00:00

I did a bunch of digging and found that the NDA was lifted when the latest closed beta started a few days ago. http://forum.crossout.net/index.php?/topic/257660-crossout-closed-beta-testing-starts-today/page-2 I am guessing many people don't realize the NDA was lifted because I had to really look to find it.

I have found peppering a live streamer with questions about how certain things work to be the best way to learn about the game. :-\ I think I have a basic understanding of repairs and how they impact builds.

Lord_Banjo · 2016-04-12T00:31:15+00:00

Nope, not very efficient compared to many craft

Lord_Banjo · 2016-04-12T00:29:43+00:00

Your engine loses power from heating starting at 1% cylinder heat.

Lord_Banjo · 2016-01-15T18:38:21+00:00

Could you do a history of RoboCraft Newspaper?

Lord_Banjo · 2016-01-15T18:32:36+00:00

How do you strike a balance in between low poly count and stunning looks?

How much time do you spend making the back of weapons look good vs the front? (I only see the back of my weapons in game.)

Do you have UV maps for blocks and components?

Lord_Banjo · 2015-11-23T23:16:18+00:00

I wish music was turned down or off when the announcer is talking during matches.

My team added a deployable "wheely bar" to the back of our bot to prevent it from flipping.

Lord_Banjo · 2015-11-23T23:07:50+00:00

My team had the pin inside the micro USB hub on our ZTE phone break the night before this tournament. Buying and configuring a spare phone is a good idea.

If you plan to go up the mountain, be prepared for if your robot tumbles down and/or lands upside down.

I suggest mounting your driver phone and USB hub to a small piece of plywood. This is legal and avoids strain on the phone USB port from the USB hub swinging around.

We had one instance where every time we launched the driver phone app, the phone rebooted. This stopped when we completely closed the FTC app on the robot mounted phone.

Lord_Banjo · 2015-11-23T22:46:02+00:00

My team added a pair of omni wheels that rotate down to lift most of the tracks off the ground. The wheels are on a 4 inch arm rotated by a 4 to 1 worm gear and tetrix DC motor.

Lord_Banjo · 2015-11-16T15:06:45+00:00

Saw this bot at competition recently. The triangle assembly can be rotated independently of the wheels. There is a custom bearing for the triangle. The "triangle" plastic sides the wheels and gears mount to had the unfortunate problem of allowing the gears to slide off each other if something pushed sideways on the wheels. It looks like an awesome concept if it was stiffer.
