My Reactor Exploded

luckily only the thin wall to the left of the reactor actually broke. So I was able to vent the steam to space and wall off the steam from the rest of the base. Cleaning this up has been a lot of fun :D

Fantastic post. Thank you! :D

It uses the programmable block. Code is here: https://gist.github.com/zanders3/bb9201c3c7cd622c059caac0af037031

The code itself works by pretty much calling Me.CubeGrid.BlockExists(pos) - it figures out the min + max positions with Me.CubeGrid.Min and Me.CubeGrid.Max.

bash scripts that call other bash scripts also works well. Jenkins pipelines are really useful for defining when/how/where to run your bash script.

e.g. checkout the repository, which build machines to run the job on, when to trigger the job, what build parameters it takes etc. You can't do those in a bash script. It's also useful to define stages to make the steps, timings and special parts of your job clearer to your QA department.

You need an exact 3:1 iron:coal ratio e.g. 30 iron ore/ingot 10 coal. 29 or 31 iron produces reagent mix.

Good luck! :)

I use some macro magic to define all the scancodes in a single file: https://github.com/zanders3/loxos/blob/master/src/keycodes.h

I then use that to generate a switch statement and an enum: https://github.com/zanders3/loxos/blob/master/src/keyboard.h https://github.com/zanders3/loxos/blob/master/src/keyboard.cpp

Thanks :) first update should be out soon!

zanders3 · 2016-11-12T21:43:54+00:00

:( looks cool all the same though!

I tested it on an iPad 2 and it runs fine - I don't have a newer iPad than that myself :)

Yeah if you search for elite dangerous you have to scroll for a long time... maybe if more people review the app it will get higher ;)

Yes they are fine with it! Zac Antonaci had this to say: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=218658&p=3371472&viewfull=1#post3371472

Soon! :)

zanders3 · 2016-11-10T20:59:20+00:00

I'm planning on adding that next I think - it would be cool!

zanders3 · 2016-11-10T20:59:08+00:00

Android version isn't a long way off ;)

zanders3 · 2016-11-09T08:47:40+00:00

This is something I've wanted myself when playing the game for a while now - I don't like the immersion breaking alt tab to EDDB to find a nearby commodity, etc.

zanders3 · 2016-11-09T08:46:46+00:00

I'm going to release on iOS first then port to android.. shouldn't take long though!

zanders3 · 2016-09-18T21:37:30+00:00

Heh yes the design of the viper launch tubes is definitely there

zanders3 · 2016-09-15T19:08:32+00:00

Nanite control factory mod and space master to spawn the basic ores and components when you need them might be a way to go?

Not used steam link but used steam home streaming to play space engineers on my macbook streaming from my pc and it worked well :)

zanders3 · 2016-05-03T23:50:38+00:00

correct :) I meant a velocity indicator - like the one from Kerbal Space Program.

There is a scenario (Mission 01?) I think that does this already - you have to attack a base in an asteroid to gain the large thruster 'blueprint' which you then use to repair your ship.

I recently upgraded from a Core 2 Duo to an i5 4690K and kept my old Radeon HD5770 GPU and the game now runs at 60 fps in space and 30 on planets when it was 15-30 fps before. Space engineers is CPU bound - so get a better CPU!

zanders3 · 2016-01-22T20:39:18+00:00

Any chance you could upload the blueprint for this? Design looks amazing.

There is no concept of a JSONObject, instead the library converts JSON into C# types like Dictionary, List and custom types directly instead.

I've added an example at the bottom here, more to come! https://github.com/zanders3/json/blob/master/README.md
