Update 1.186.2 - Scripting/Modding API for Wheels, Rotors

the wheels are most impressive. ^^

 

Nice

• fixed deformations of Armor Blocks

Does this mean that finally we can see through ships with deformed armor on anymore?

• fixed Small Grids could be built into the voxel

What? wasn't this a feature added a long time ago? I think it was added late June/early July 2016 and Doctor Octoganapus made a really nice underground bunker in small blocks.
I really like it cause as a scenario builder, i love to make crashed ships on planets and now i probably cant make small ship crashsites anymore

 

Yay, better API is really nice.

 

That's a kit of good fixes

 

Looks good but did we get the dark areas back yet?

 

Please fix wheel blocks https://forums.keenswh.com/threads/...ision-damage-to-next-non-wheel-block.7399613/

Summary
Wheel blocks transfer collision damage to the nearest non-wheel block

Description
Reproduction: 100%
Expected behavior: Wheel blocks don't take damage when mounted on rotors and don't damage nearest blocks in same grid.

Observed behavior:
Wheels itself are nearly indestructible with latest path. But they transfer damage to the nearest non-wheel block.
Below are 2 demos:
1) Vehicle with wheels on rotor:

In this case - rotor top taking damage.
2) Drop test with wheel mounted on the line of heavy armor block

Wheel is intact, but armor taking damage.

STR
1) Fly at height ~200m
2) Build wheel block
3) Build heavy armor blocks on top of the wheel block
4) Let them fall

1) Build or download whom workshop vehicle with wheels mounted on rotors
2) Drive it

 

What's with the texture/colour change in the large update? I have to repaint all my ships block by block because they're all black(probably a good 30 ships)

My ships were red(blue) and silver. Now they're black and silver. Was this intentional?


Can we get a feature in the colour options to paint everything of one colour all at once? Maybe a different control so I can paint all the black back to red.

EDIT:
I mean changing a single specific colour. My ships are multi-coloured and the red I used is now black. I want my red back, not the entire ship red.

ctrl+mmb is smaller paint square than shft+mmb, ctrl+shft+mmb is the entire ship.

 

I liked being able to build small grid into voxel, made it real easy to build wheeled vehicles, or any vehicle for that matter

 

So is Keen going to ever patch the Character Tilting on Planets or are we just going to pretend like it doesn't exist?

 

White Ore markers still vanish about 10-20 seconds after leaving cockpit of ship with ore detector and antenna. [ship has power / antenna is at max range with broadcasting / ore detector is at max range with broadcast via antenna on / engineer suit has broadcasting on]. As reported here: https://forums.keenswh.com/threads/1-186-033-ore-detector-antenna-problem.7399821/#post-1287086803

Btw here's another bug for you guys: https://forums.keenswh.com/threads/1-186-101-unknown-signal-drop-pods-bug.7400023/

Have fun!

 

Hey that happened to me, my carrier was blue now its black with faint blue patches. Makes it look like a warship which it is not. Anyway it's far to dark.

 

Middle mouse button + ctrl if I remember correct?

Or do you want to change only one color on ship to another?

 

Sounds like a flood fill. I posted the idea on the feedback site a while back, it would be awesome for recoloring ships.

Will you guys fix the Character Tilting bug or not?

 

*Facepalm* Y'all added this as a feature...

https://forum.keenswh.com/threads/update-01-142-revised-building-system.7385406/
"Also, any grid that is pasted into voxel from the clipboard will now become a static grid, including small ships. You can place them in at any angle and orientation."

Not likely, but I wrote an app to do that for you
https://github.com/Whiplash141/WhipsShipRecolorTool/releases/latest

 

isn't it already in game Ctrl+shift+middle mouse button? or at least that what works for me

 

YAY Still havent fixed remote control blocks in atmospehere....

Hi.
Watch the video more closely.
Here is complex suspension system that guarantee that every wheel contact terrain even on martian hills.
Like this but with 4 wheels on front part


Unfortunately common suspension can't do this for such size of vehicle.
In addition I made script to control rotor wheels and it doesn't allow slippage. Kind of ESP.

But . . . wheel blocks . . . [crying]

PS just read that you're in staff.
I want to thank Keen for fix in last patch - someone made wheel block more reliable (before patch - wheels have taken damage itself),
But It only fixed the symptoms, not the problem itself.
And for now I can only count wheel blocks as decoration.

 

I see a Red Ship and I want to Paint it Black...

 

He means like repaint all blocks with certain color with another certain color

 

What did they mean by this??
What was the exact problem that was fixed?

 

*Patiently awaits update that removes annoyingly large collision boxes to armor blocks so things work smoothly, and gives wheel blocks an actual use*

 

Keen changed the color to be less obvious depending on the voxel/ground materials. However, I did notice that you lose these indicator colors if you have your Shader setting on high. Might be a bug.

 

So is exploding vehicles/wheels fixed now?

Unsure if this is connected (no pun intended), however some 20 min after our MP server updated to this version every rotor on the sever detached itself from the rotor head.

 

Still not frikkin rotor fixes

 

jep fix rotors and pistons wolfs and all for multie player servers.
1 and a half year still not good.
Are the devs this because we dont ask for visuel updates we ask for the playability of this game

 

placing small grids into voxels from cut/copy-paste was a thing, but building small grids into voxels directly was not, and must have just been a bug, as long as we can still paste small grids into voxels for better scenario creations then its all good

 

This broke the game. I was never going to play again. Life was not worth living. The devs sucked. Nothing ever gets fixed. Han shot first.

YES! Thank you.
