Halloween Update 1.184.6 - Skin Crafting & Ghost Skin

Yay! A Halloween update! How fun!

 

Cool bugfixes guys!

 

All emissive suit, I just wish it wasn't paid only.
Still, it's a very nice suit. I love the custom face. I want more custom faces.... like a female or no-beard. Also the dead astronaut skull as a face.
Thankfully with skin crafting, I don't have to worry about selling my old skins to get what I want.

 

Great, new video!

 

"Now all blocks in thruster range are damaged at the same time.
Thruster damage area is no longer cylinder but it is rectangular (faster computation, slightly larger volume of effect)."

Wait wait wait... so does this mean that anything in the way of the thruster now will cause damage, so we cant have fancy covers over thrusters anymore? wish there was a damage area visual we could see

 

Best part of the changelog.

Keep it up Keen. Take all the time you need to get it right!

 

Click the Steam link and pay $5.

 

Sp00ky Scary Ghost-gineer!
yeah! time to watch this video and be entertained
I was hoping for the skeletal engineer we see in the missions!
but still this is awesome.

ghost suit stats.
-100 sneak
-/+ you glow brightly impossible to hard in the dark
+ you've shown your support for space engineers
+ "hey who turned out the lights?"

 

Nice, keep it up. I have great expectations for the anniversary update

 

Buying the skin. Happy to support you guys!

 

Considering that the proceeds are going back into the development of the game, it's not that big of an issue to spend $5 on.

 

It is pretty cool looking.
I'm hoping we can get a skeletal faced engineer helmet or something like in the video.

I'd glady get that skin...maybe have it yellow colored as in hydrogen colored.
as in sims 3 logic....the color of the ghost indicates the type of death.
with mine usually being..ran out of hydrogen....died from that.

 

... and all clients crash at first action after successful connection to server.

darn.... :/ how does SE servers handle updates? do they restart or something?~
i remember how back in the minecraft days a server could be running an older version and would refuse connections from different versions..

 

No sensor fix!

 

I'd imagine it means you can't have such 'tight' covers over thrusters, might need to leave a bit more of a gap around the flame cone than previously required to avoid damage. Look on the bright side though- at least they bothered to tell us this time, not like when they increased thruster damage distance and said nothing until we all flipped our sh*t and then just shrugged their shoulders and said 'yeah, we changed that- tough luck to all the builders who now have thousands of broken ships'....

 

What's wrong with the Sensors?

 

I'm wondering the same thing as Venom415. Does this mean, for example, having a layer of heavy armor on a landing pad, covering delicate components (Conveyors, batteries, etc), will no longer work to actually protect the components from a large enough thruster? Or did thruster damage never work like that to begin with?

 

Buying cool Ghost Skins for many bugfixes directly related to my recent gameplay problems?... Seems fair enough for me.

 

Thanks a bunch Keen

 

So, I can recycle my many badger skins for a new badger skin?

​

lol

 

so it seems my new ship (which was fine before with thruster damage on) is now injuring itself with the fighters in the hangar doing thruster damage from far away even though they arent even firing at all... keen what did you...

 

I'm not much into these cosmetic thingies, but I'll buy the skin. Happy to support!

 

• reworked thruster damage

Now all blocks in thruster range are damaged at the same time.
Thruster damage area is no longer cylinder but it is rectangular (faster computation, slightly larger volume of effect).

SO, How big or rather what are the dimensions of the thruster rectangles for the various thrusters as of todays update please?

 

Their voxel detection on planets are messed up.

Hey!

Server Update Fix Work in Progress?

 

Skin looks ugly. Realy like in a school classes of 3d.
Anyway. Why we still don't have a proper AI? I remember a video looong time ago where ksh showed AI engeneer running on constructed grid. Where is all this? We have dum simple "seach and destory" AI function of drones (wolfes and spiders on planets).
Where is story line? Don't send me to workshop i wanna to see a proper storyline from ksh.
Where is trading? Plany of resources that can be exchanged between factions of player and AI.
Where is the purpose of all this grinding and crafting? Right now we don't have any global target to reach, just make a world start to grind.
Gameplay DIDN'T change since begining. You might say "they add planet", but still you need to drill, grind the planet. Nothing chaneged in global.
Plus, planets still need optimisation and reworking and the major thing: a lot of gamers can't afford planet rendering.
Game goes down hill. Seems that KSH spend all their profit on something else couse with 2.3 mln copies sold by steam its quite good money for further develpment, now they offer to by skins for real cash. Picture is realy sad.
1127 hours of play. Bought in april 2014.

 

Wow, I like everything about this:

• Keep baking the major update until awesome. Be warned though..you've built some major hype. I hope that means the update contains even more than what you've already teased us in the past months.
• Recycling skins makes every gathered skin valuable. Win!
• Pay for skins is an great idea...it's not a PAY4WIN, it's an optional way to continue to show our support and get something tangible in return. Combining that with limited edition skins I think is pretty smart. Nothing entices me to want to buy something like the chance I may not get to later....
• Bonus mini Rexxar/Clang blog...excellent. This is probably one of the best things you guys started to do recently, because I know for sure the biggest gripe for years from the community is lack of feedback. Now we have ongoing feedback from a developer: "Yes, I'm aware of the problem and here is what I've found so far, and here are the potential solutions...".
