    I feel like maybe you're being a little shit on purpose, since I literally just told you why. But I'm not gonna let that get to me.

    OK. I will rephrase. Why the developers did not fix it? And it's not how it works. The fact is that they had to fix it when they realized that "something is not right." The people are not happy, sales will fall. " And I also bought it. Not a single minute has not lost in all pirate versions. I expect quality. As any adequate buyer. You would be happy if you bought .. watermelon. Bought a watermelon. With a remarkable appearance. But inside green flesh, instead normal juicy red. You can eat, but something is missing. It feels like you do not see the essence of the problem. This watermelon can draw a beautiful pattern, make the lines brighter. But inside he was green. And remains green.
    buyer dont know how grow watermelon. he want good product.

    @EmPyky, the developers have in fact optimized the shit out of the game.

    I fondly remember when they first added the Grand Pagoda Library. Visiting that was a literal slideshow, because of all the water. I mean, my frames per second became literal seconds per frame. It was rather glorious in how slow it was.

    Was. I can play that mission as fast as any other now.

    The Outpost, with its multitude of NPCs, used to become sluggish (but not as bad as the library), from all the Lua context switches whenever I came near the central building.

    Used to. It barely makes a dent now.

    All this on the same old clunker I've used all along. I know the developers optimized the game more than you can even begin to imagine, because I almost literally watched them do it. So take your watermelon metaphor and eat it.

    You look at this watermelon and say "it's okay, it will ripen in your fridge in a couple of years."
    How old is the game in development? How much do you need to wait for it to mature?
    And you do not have to switch to personalities like "I can not imagine, I have not seen"
    I do not allow myself such an abomination, although I do not hide the desire to answer you, like you to me
    If I'm talking to you on behalf of developers, then answer - WHEN the game will be playable in any skirmishes and any volume of objects on the screen in a constructive, clear, direct form. And not that "you do not know how much they work, you did not see it, blah blah blah"
    YES. I do not represent. YES. did not see. But it does not stop me from asking for a book for complaints, where I'll write about your way of responding to players on a constructive question.
    If you are my good, do not have information to give a clear answer, then our conversation is better to finish, and I'll wait for the development team, and we'll have a nice chat. I am sure that these adults will give an exhaustive answer to my "complaints"

    Okay since you won't stop with the watermelon I'm just gonna cut through the rind and reply only to the important bit here.
    You want a clear, concise answer? Okay. It already is.

    Believe it or not. I'd explain a likely reason why but I doubt you'd listen.

    well. when game cancel draw all in dos and became normal game who send all resourses on videocard processor? why the other game (I will not show a finger) has on the screen Hell'lot'ofSh@ and no signs of freezes? This is with the HD picture. I came to the starbound, because there was something missing, although there is a lot of things there, and then the game spits into my soul, and on the forum I'm raised to ridicule, saying that the game in the release and everything is fine. no. not fine. At least not beautiful. And it's frustrating. Raving to go to the farm in 4 tiers and see 5 frames per second

    Can confirm, game runs silky smooth on my new machine. Didn't quite run that smooth on my 5+ year old non-gaming laptop, but was still decisivley playable on max zoom anywhere except for a giant city build in the atmosphere level with tonns of NPCs during heavy rain.

    It's funny cos my laptop is pretty much five years old now. Dunno if it counts as a gaming laptop though...

    I give the fishies some slack, they are a pretty small team and apparently they've been working and finishing up other games (I think.....i saw them at the E3 this year for PC....I think?) anyway, I find that starbound still needs a little more optimization, but i know they are taking those steps, especially for old systems by giving limiter options (I know i needed it for my portable laptop, used to chug and run hot fast from playing)

    Starbound just feels like this massive game they just continue to add on to and improve, it was never "finished" but put in a state in which they can say "this is the game," and although I don't like the idea of incomplete games, least I do see some updates and improvements bit by bit. Pondering what i'll be like by 2018, -shrugs- who knows but i'm sure the experience gets better as it already has so far.

    Sooooo your essentially, just by looking at it, sleeping under the covers....floating on the outside of your bed. That is definitely not good for back support...

    Thanks for the cool new spacefaring features; space stations are a lovely place to make a home. Also, thanks really quite a lot for the pause key (-:

    Great, I have a worthless 3 panel sized tube I cannot wire correctly because the wire keeps breaking. What is the point of the long rail tube if I can't even connect the bottom and the top together?

    You need to extend the range of the cable by putting OR-Gates in between. That should do it.
     
  18. Grave Knight

    Grave Knight Subatomic Cosmonaut

    It doesn't. Or gates don't act like the tram stops. I had to put another tram stop in the middle of the tube so it's not on the rail but connects the two sides.

    Hmm. That's weird... Probably means that they don't actually toggle via the wiring, but rather just use the reference of where it is connected to for the pathfinding algorithm.

    The main minus of the mech is too simple boarding. It's enough just to lure the enemies into the guns.
