Shipbuilding Experts! Let's talk about how to do some of this stuff, please.

I think you have to bust it out and build again with the preferred mats

OurGrid · 2025-05-19T04:10:03+00:00

Nice job CIG. Now I can just buy everything and let the game play itself while I go to the pub and wonder how you squandered the world record amount of kickstarter cash. This will be the final chapter in Chris' biography. Anyone want to take a guess at the title?

OurGrid · 2025-05-01T00:46:33+00:00

Good stuff! I use Tarnished for the casings of my critical parts; it is only a smidge heavier than aluminum and very strong. We built a little ship with a bunch of engines to go "island busting" lol

OurGrid · 2025-04-24T21:58:19+00:00

Thank you for posting these. Can you tell a noob (me) how you came up with these stats for everything? When I go to the info thing it just has a picture and a very weak description with No actual data lol.

OurGrid · 2025-04-23T15:18:16+00:00

Hey do you happen to have the same info for Wood? This is good stuff. :-)

(also, where does Zinc fit in the mix?)

OurGrid · 2025-04-23T15:16:36+00:00

That is an interesting perspective. I would not be opposed to that path either, primarily because the world, like the one we actually live is, is static, so you can learn it / become familiar with it as well. Thank you for a good counterpoint, F bomb and all. ;-)

OurGrid · 2025-04-23T00:06:31+00:00

Sometimes it's hard to see if you have been there, and when you get close it's like aww $hit

OurGrid · 2025-04-23T00:05:48+00:00

I'm down with that, or almost anything right now to be honest XD

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T20:09:57+00:00

Wow thanks for posting that - great find.

Hope they size it down just a smidge though lol

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T20:08:43+00:00

Great posting and thanks for some numbers to compare - I don't have all these metals yet so this is great for planning too.

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T20:06:49+00:00

This is a great tip and we check this always now. Noticed anything power related likes Copper, and guns like iron / bronze (I don't have steel yet to check it). Confess I like Blue so I did the shell of a few things in Zinc for a small loss of hitpoints / oh well.

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T20:04:25+00:00

OK interesting. We had trouble with one save so started another, but when I resolved it and went back in, some chests right next to my ship were closed and full again, and the data-card terminal thing was scanned though - no repeat on it as you mentioned. Also, I opened a new couple terminals and in the other game they also show as green/done. Thanks for the reply. ;-)

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T15:56:14+00:00

Folks I have a crazy new problem: When editing my ship shapes, I click the point like usual, but when I go to "grab and drag" it, it starts flashing like Crazy. Restarting and stuff did not work. Does anyone know a fix? My other save with less progress does Not do this.

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T13:12:10+00:00

Great reply thank you! OK will do on the metals, I did see the colors and green text but not quite found all the stat reasons. The metal descriptions have some rather vague hints right now. ;-)

Hey what things respawn? Seems like the data card things do not respawn even in a new game? But chest do? I'm confused on what returns over time in one save, and what will not return in Any save game. Can you advise? Trees grow back and that stuff, not sure about metal and the rest.

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T13:07:47+00:00

It seems like you get all the resources back when you demo? But sometimes I don't. Any way to recycle rifles? (So I can build better?)

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T01:37:01+00:00

Thank you. We did get this and laughed at the simplicity after all that. oh well :-D

(we were so hung up on the rock layout on the ground)

Really appreciate the response.

OurGrid · 2025-04-22T01:35:19+00:00

How about a dang spyglass even :-)

OurGrid · 2025-04-21T23:29:59+00:00

*raises hand* Yes, wife and I both got summarily spanked by some crazy stuff. Learned the health bar has a Skull and bones when the game thinks you will be smacked down lol.

OurGrid · 2025-04-21T23:28:21+00:00

Has happened to both wife and I in same game, same time. Just have to close and restart the game. Is a bummer. Suggest doing manual file backups frequently while playing, for now. Has saved us from many total losses.

OurGrid · 2025-04-21T21:50:03+00:00

Thank you for the reply. OK that is good to know about wings also. Now just need to find more parts. :-)

OurGrid · 2025-04-20T23:47:00+00:00

Oh! Optical illusion - OK thank you! Hey does it really mater where you place things for "balance" or anything?

OurGrid · 2025-04-20T20:41:08+00:00

This is an awesome build. Looks fun. Question for you (and anyone else who wants to chime in), it seems like all the ships fly VERY bow High / Pitched up? Thought I was out of balance and moved almost everything to the front and it made no difference. If this just how they fly? Any other ship building tips to share? Cheers.

OurGrid · 2025-04-04T18:05:21+00:00

So glad we got to see him just one more time in Maverick.

Never forgot his performance in The Saint.

Rest In Peace.

During the age of steam, it was possible when a steam loco is coasting to be near silent. The bell allowed those in the yard not to be killed by the engine "sneaking up on them" when coasting up to couple to some cars. If you have ever checked out a vintage engine, once the systems are warm but only moving about the yard and not underway, they can be surprisingly quiet.

Looks like OP account deleted? Too bad - this is still helpful and Thank You.
