Re: New Blueprints - Better Symmetry Point

My grid is 36x36, with the rails being one square apart. It sounds like I need to make my grid 38 or 34 instead, based on your testing. In other words, the grid must be divisible by 2, but not by 4. That's frustrating; the entire point of my rail template was to tile perfectly with a blanket grid of...

Re: New Blueprints - Better Symmetry Point

I respectfully disagree. I made a video to demonstrate (I'm not a very good videographer, sorry it's not great). This video is in the process of uploading, but it demonstrates a blueprint that is perfectly symmetrical (rotationally) without a global reference point, but cannot be used with rotationa...

New Blueprints - Better Symmetry Point

The new blueprint book is out, and it's great... BUT... Rail grids CANNOT be created in a rotationally symmetrical way. :-( One of the biggest use-cases for a globally synced grid is rail segments, so you can ensure your widely disparate areas will connect easily when your blueprint stamps meet. But...

Re: Who else is anxiously awaiting the next 0.18 experimental release with blueprint improvements?

It's out, and it's great... BUT... Rail grids CANNOT be created in a rotationally symmetrical way. :-( Because the center point of a blueprint has to be in the center of a cell, and rail blueprints must be an even size, you can never have the point of rotation match. This makes it impossible to crea...

Re: Friday Facts #180 - Map interaction

I have seen several people requesting turret coverage as map view. As someone who prefers using guns over lasers, I really really really would love a map view, that color codes how much ammo gun turrets are holding - blinking bright if they are out of ammo. You can add the blinking light and color-...

Re: Friday Facts #180 - Map interaction

Every week brings another reason I wish 0.15 was already out. I'm looking forward to this so much guys.

Though... I'm still sad you didn't go with Steam. I wanted steam and optional cooling towers. Ahh well.

Re: Friday Facts #147 - Multiplayer rewrite

Thank you for this. I cannot play with my friends, because two of them like out in the boondocks and the game slows to a crawl if we have more than two players in the game. The Peer to Peer architecture you have is only viable for LAN-only games, and I'm glad to see that you're finally beginning wor...
