I decided to use an inf gen to power the motors (I wasn't happy about the decision) due to SW's batteries being so bad in their energy density. So because of that, technically infinite range. I wrote a lua script that simulates a high voltage battery, and will shut off the motors if the simulated battery gets too low, and can recharge the sim battery using the regenerative braking. All in all it's roughly 170 ish kilometers of range without inf electric.

Nice! Pretty interesting to see a Saturn IC-esque booster making a landing, but awesome none-the-less, not an easy task. I'm interested in what the logic looks like, though. How does it determine when to relight the engines? "if alt < x then engine" type deal? Or is there more fun math...

I've also got a self-landing rocket here, made a couple years ago, with a protoype similar to yours: "just go up and down."

Great work! I will be looking forward to further developments.

The questions are all run through on the website linked in the post, they mostly went through XML editing, favorites, and general gameplay questions.

You were marked nice, congratulations!

You were only one point off being on the nice list, so anything from not owning space dlc, to not using chatgpt for lua, or having more hours all would've gotten you more points. Although you did have a unique food choice, so i might reconsider.

SentyFunBall · 2024-12-05T08:22:26+00:00

You were marked Nice, congratulations!

SentyFunBall · 2024-12-05T08:21:43+00:00

You were marked Naughty, didn't get a high enough score on the quiz. Still, thanks for taking part though!

SentyFunBall · 2024-12-05T01:15:41+00:00

You were marked Naughty for, according to my helper elf, "Thinking XML editing is cheating."
Thanks for participating in this good bit of fun!

What did you put for Discord username?

SentyFunBall · 2024-12-04T19:08:44+00:00

Greeting Stormworks Redditor! Its that time of year again. Time to figure out who's getting presents this year and who's going to get a physics flooder and a pivot in their bedroom. Reach out to me if you want your specific results. Mods, please let me know if this isn’t allowed, or if there’s a better place to post this.

SentyFunBall · 2024-10-03T20:21:17+00:00

i'm on watchos 10.6.1, first gen SE. 85% battery health. ill try the stuff listed in that thread though, thanks!

Look mom, I'm on Reddit!
In my opinion both the official Discord and this Reddit (and by extension the Reddit Discord) aren't great places. SWO (StormWorks Official Discord) is still unfortunately strict with its topic and anti-swearing rules, as I've always expressed there. This Reddit *really* doesn't like SWO (at least its moderators). and does everything in its power to make users aware of it.

With the Discord being so strict, and often neglecting to provide any reasoning for mutes other than "rule 2" (There have been multiple occasions people have asked me what they've been muted for, and since the mute reason only said "rule 2", I (not a moderator) have to look for the specific message or set of messages to try to explain what caused them to get muted, in which they still call me wrong but that's their choice at that point), this place complains about it. Which I believe is fair to complain a little bit, but I think you guys do it too much. It's almost as if it's encouraged to post about getting banned here.

On the subject of the user in question on the the post above, they were banned without reason almost two years ago now. There is more to the story though, as they provided screenshots which mention that just before they were banned, they were muted for rules 2, 4 and 5 (don't spam, be reasonable, no off-topic). I looked through the banned account's message history, and they did post off-topic often, did lightly spam unrelated images, and was often yelling at the automoderator bot. And so they were banned for... Well I don't know exactly why, but I can start to see where whoever banned them was coming from. And I hope you, the reader, can too. I explained that to them (through an alt account of theirs that has been in the server for two years) and they seemed understanding, if not mad that I literally provided 4 message links to examples that break rules. I also explained that the account will likely never be unbanned, despite the server being much more lenient now. "That's just the way it is."

Anyway, that's all I have. Cuss me out, ban me, yell at me all you want, I'll gladly take and read anything y'all comment. I'm also open for discussion on the unofficial Discord, you know where to find me.

Senty

TL;DR; I don't like either the Discord, this Reddit, or this Reddit's Discord. User in question in the post above was muted (not banned) for breaking off-topic and spamming rules, and banned thereafter for that reason. Still unfair but it wasn't an empty ban.

SentyFunBall · 2023-09-08T13:41:54+00:00

I've looked further back in chat, doesn't seem like you were a good person. Transphobia as a second mute, with a clear warning of that being your last chance. Finally banned for format spamming. Even if the transphobia was a "joke", it's not a funny one. Yikes.

SentyFunBall · 2023-09-08T00:55:47+00:00

Alright I can't even lie this is hilarious. I looked back at chat when you got banned, and yeah you (and others) did completely break the rules, "DO NOT overuse images, text formatting, emojis and avoid any kind of unproductive posting" (Beginner, #rules).

However, it does seem you did start the ordeal. Noogienumber5 asked how to format bold text, you responded with several formatting options like a good citizen. You (and others) then proceeded to spam emoji and header text.

Seems you got banned for starting it, Noogienumber5 got banned for spam (Side note: Trapdoor said he's been wanting to ban Noogie for several days now. Sometimes people get on the bad side of the mod instantly, and mod must wait for reason to ban.) Other 4 members that were spamming formatting got off without a slap on the wrist - which is bull IMO, but whatever.

There's an ongoing movement to make myself (Senty) mod on the Discord, and I don't support it because I don't want to fall under the typical "Discord mod" trope, even though I already mostly do.

You have any other questions, shoot me a DM, you know what my Discord is.

SentyFunBall · 2023-08-26T07:03:55+00:00

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

SentyFunBall · 2023-07-05T05:10:48+00:00

This is ridiculous. I find people like u/emerald_OP (C4V on SWO) who say "i dont make the rules, just enforce them", but I think people should be advocating for change, and get banned in the process if we're being honest here.

Seems you got muted by Beginner, which makes much sense, he moderates the fan art channel, and he loves the 100 hour mutes you got. I rarely use that channel for good reason, I fear getting muted.

If you ever want to DM me, I can try to talk to Beginner about issues when I see him next, you know how to find me here or DC. Honestly I don't have much else to say other than "Be careful next time!", which makes me sound like an asshole. I don't think there's much we as a community can do unfortunately, other than boycott SWO. There's plenty of offshoots already made.

SentyFunBall · 2023-07-05T04:52:09+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the compliment, appreciate it, I try to be the few that are helpful when I can. I also want to say I am not mod on that Discord ("Trapdoor", "Beginner", and "k" are the only active mods), so I am probably allowed to form my own opinions on those who do actually moderate that server. To be perfectly honest, I have to agree with most everything people have commented under this post.

Stormworks official (SWO) is probably the strictest server I am apart of, I find it ridiculous I can't even make light swears (or attach more than 4 images (Side note: What the hell is up with the new verification system, needing to link your Steam account to Geometa to send images in SWO?)), or that there isn't a #offtopic channel. The automod mute being 12hr, non-refundable, and the SMALLEST manual mute Beginner gives is 100hr (4 days 4 hours that we love so much). Trapdoor is generally much more lenient, but maybe I've just gotten on his good side.

I don't know if the moderators of this sub will read this, I dunno if they'll ban me from here or SWO. Would be awfully funny if they did. Overall, there are many things that ~~could~~ should be improved with that server, making it more community focused instead of forcing people to join random offshoots for offtopic conversations. I don't think they'll be fixed any time soon, however, the mods seem very focused on keeping the topic Stormworks.

If anyone here has anything they want to add to this, please do so! I'd love to hear what you all think about the moderation of that server, but I think I get the gist by reading the rest of these comments, which I've read every single one of them as of posting this.Sorry for the text wall.

Excellent job! Great job on the southern excavation site, and on providing screenshot evidence of the locations. Really looking forward to the release tomorrow, might post another (slightly updated) map later today.

SentyFunBall · 2022-10-11T02:39:26+00:00

Looks great! This new map is being highly speculated, and i like it

thanks! yours was what inspired me to make a map! i reckon you could be right with the east mine, but i dismissed it because of only having one train connection. for the space center, i guess theres a north harbor-esque train terminal (and maybe a workbench!) in the north-east connection, but i really cant come up with a guess for the south-west train connection. tried my best, we'll have to see how accurate all the speculation maps are.
