    [Question] - How to properly randomize the turret upgrade slot

    in Mods

    Posted

    So I thought it would be more interesting to have the turret upgrades have a randomized amount rather than a set number. I have only partially managed this but it comes out to large decimal numbers lol.

     

    The current code is this.

    function getNumTurrets(seed, rarity)
    return math.max(1, rarity.value + 1)
end

     

    I tried this

     

    function getNumTurrets(seed, rarity)
    return math.random() * (rarity.value + 1) * 1.5

     

    While I had a randomized upgrade it is giving like +3.123433, +3.6346444 .. etc lol

    I know I am incorrectly just slapping this code on and asking for help from the experienced ones to aid me into getting whole numbers and a range based on rarity.

     

    Something like, exotic turret can have 4-7, legendary can have 5-9, and if possible make it rarer to get the higher upgrade numbers

    Would be neat to make turret upgrades have a variable to them.

    my Event timer is currently this

    local events =
{
    {schedule = random():getInt(45, 60) * 60, script = "convoidistresssignal", arguments = {true}, to = 560},
    {schedule = random():getInt(60, 80) * 60, script = "fakedistresssignal", arguments = {true}, to = 560},
    {schedule = random():getInt(60, 80) * 60, script = "piratehunter", to = 560},
    {schedule = random():getInt(25, 50) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {0}, minimum = 5 * 60, from = 0, to = 500},
    {schedule = random():getInt(35, 70) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {1}, minimum = 25 * 60, to = 500},
    {schedule = random():getInt(60, 80) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {2}, minimum = 60 * 60, to = 350},
    {schedule = random():getInt(80, 120) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {3}, minimum = 120 * 60, to = 300},
    {schedule = random():getInt(90, 140) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {4}, minimum = 140 * 60, to = 250},
    {schedule = random():getInt(120, 160) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {5}, minimum = 160 * 60, to = 200},
    {schedule = random():getInt(150, 190) * 60, script = "alienattack", arguments = {6}, minimum = 200 * 60, to = 150},
    {schedule = random():getInt(50, 70) * 60, script = "spawntravellingmerchant", to = 520},
}

local pause = 15 * 60
local pauseTime = pause

function initialize()
    for _, event in pairs(events) do
        event.time = (event.minimum or 15 * 60) + math.random() * event.schedule
    end

     

    my alien update interval is this

    function getUpdateInterval()
    return 65

    And 

    function update(timeStep)

    minute = minute + 1

    if attackType == 0 then

        if minute == 1 then
            Player():sendChatMessage("Server"%_t, 3, "Your sensors picked up a short burst of subspace signals."%_t)
        elseif minute == 3 then
            Player():sendChatMessage("Server"%_t, 3, "More strange subspace signals, they're getting stronger."%_t)
        elseif minute == 6 then

    Etc. lol Play around with it until your happy with the off time and active time.

     

    Also if I am not alone my events are speed up 25% now instead of 50%

     -- but, if we're not alone, we speed up events by 25%
    if #players > 1 then timeStep = timeStep * 1.25 end

    change this to just 1 if you want no increase in event timer with multiplayer. Although no idea if you must be host for this effect? lol

    I had to modify this stuff for my ultimate difficulty mod due to the amount of time it could take on the much bigger spawns. Before I had like 5 events pop up but now events are pretty rare and when they happen you feel ready to tackle it and not burnt out. Lots of time I get to mine and explore but I also can have a large xsotan event that will take me an hour to deal with if I get the extreme spawns lol.

     

    Sometimes it's overwhelming but then it can go silent for awhile and I am out looking for a battle. Tough to balance but I am happy where it's at.

     

    That event schedule plays around with the likely hood of which events happen more frequently than others and at what distances before they even begin to happen.

     

    I'll post my setup in the morning :)

    I'm at 1.5 size turrets and they are decently big.

     

    And then.. a turret factory making a size 2.7! Required 15 engineers force turret gun I think it was. But 2.7! That would be massive! Lol. The weapons get bigger the further and higher the tech.

    Here is a preview of some turret stuff to my found stuff, There is another turret that makes very good plasmas for a cost of over 4 million and 2.4k dps. While they are awesome I "could" find better on my own still. That is what I was going for, to allow crafting a viable option but not the ultimate option, its to still hunt for the ultimate stuff :)

     

    These looks very good! Yet I managed to find a 5.5k firepower uncommon very randomly from a xsotan, only one of its kind so far lol

    I am trying to make these now, pretty costly but amazing, miners and salvagers are still best gotten from factory as its really hard to mass good ones from battles, however you can still get better from finds lol

    Crazy high stats for a crazy high price lol, I don't use these so I haven't balanced it to much but I have found some very good ones still

     

    qxtk4l.jpg

     

     

    Now compare them to some of my very good finds :)

    The best chaingun I have ever seen, no factory has been this good lol

    Hope that gives an insight, hunting for the ultimate weapons is still king, but crafting is also amazing. They are both great options now and not factory to win anymore lol

end

     

    And scroll down and change this to this value

     local item = SellableInventoryItem(turret)
    item.price = item.price * 1.35

     

    You will still get very awesome turrets show up that are for sure great to use but then they come at a much higher cost so you can't so easily mass up these weapons. However, you can still find better in exotic / legendary but it takes luck, it isn't easy to overpower very good turret factory stuff but it is possible. So far it has been really balanced for me. Give it a shot, I also fixed I believe all the ones that went negative stats when you increased the material count.

    Replayability and goals

    in Gameplay Discussion

    Yeah I found insane mode the same where the start was a great challenge and game got much easier as it went on.

    I fixed that by modding it and now its gotta be 5x more difficult than vanilla insane mode. It gets much tougher the closer you get. 2 million shields gone in under a minute if I played my old way lol.

     

    I modded turret factories also so they no longer make redonk powerful weapons. They are in fact broken and it was obvious when I looked at the code. Regarding resources I totally agree about this! I am able to buy up to ogonite so easily getting over a million of each with no effort thanks to stations. Avorion however I am forced to go and mine and honestly I felt so much relief knowing I had to actually work for the material.

     

    I think it should be like this for naonite and beyond!

    Always good to input feedback :) .. I think I will post my settings for others to try out for a much harder game.

    Game claims 'Some Ships Can Be Repaired to Fly Again' ???

    use a radar upgrade that has the "shows yellow blips" These are the hidden mass, you actually get one for free from the first jump you make and talk to the explorer guy, be nice to him and he says you know what.. have this.

     

    While in hidden mass areas use the object detector upgrade and they will find any claimable asteroid / ships instantly.

     

    Also if you go and repair a ship.. dismantle it with safemode off for 100% credit and material reward lol

     

    Also.. your ship can already jump 2 sectors(or is it 3?) on its own.

    so you can go to these hidden masses straight from the start :)

    On Thruster Mechanics

    in Feedback

    Posted

    Also: Large masses simply require large forces to move. Build more/larger gyros, build your directional thrusters at the corners of your ship, build them larger. You can even cover them up (intentionally) if you don't like the looks of them. But they will be required to make a battleship move. I think you don't realize what dimensions your ship has. A normal window on your ship is ~1x2 meters.

     

    Large battleships will never be as nimble as frigates or corvettes. That's why you can build turrets at every place on your ship, why turrets can turn around, why you can move the camera around your ship, and why you have fighters. Controlling a large battleship should be a small challenge, but it's relatively easy once you know how.

     

    Edit: And it looks pretty cool, congratz on the nice build!

     

    Well... I think I may have disproven this.. I like your current setting though for 10.5! It took serious effort but you still can make a massive ship move very nicely. I have to say "never" should be "possible" when you use alien engineers to make your ship ^_^ lol

    Gyros only seem to boost Roll?

    in Feedback

    Posted

    That's the point, no? When you start making really big ships, you can't just slap some volume of gyros and be okay - bigger creation means using more interesting decisions to maintain maneuverability, like directional thrusters placed strategically.

     

    As for me, gyros being weaker for larger ships is wonderful, because making large ships to turn should be hard. Not impossible, no, but you need to think about it and dedicate some of your voulme for this cause.

     

     

     

    Wrong lol.. all gyro's my friend. But I love this "you can't just slap some volume of gyros and be okay" It is like you tested 100% of this game lol

     

     

    4h5mdw.jpg

     

     

    So yes.. you can use volume of gyro.. and be okay.

    Hope this helps Ryugi. Takes practice but it sure can be done :)

     

    Currently working on affording it in my main game. Shes a beaut, but expensive lol

    Limit one module per a type.

    in Suggestions & Idea Voting

    Posted

    I hope the devs never seriously consider any of the ideas in this thread.

     

    lmao I know right! I see so many people making such limiting suggestions. I quite like the current beta build. Avorion Gyro's are actually amazing and so many people said they were totally useless. Yet I got a 1.6MT ship, 12 slots with nearly 1.00 roll / updown rad and 0.4 left right rad all thanks to gyro's and no thrusters! Then again, I don't even know if most of these suggestions are from build 10.5 because its apples and oranges from 10.2 (current non beta).

    I modded for tougher enemies... new post showcasing the ultimate battle!

    Well... for the first time guys.. I had real defeat feeling lol. Just after I finished with an xsotan spawn and shooting wreckages. The worst of the worst decided to finally pop up for the very first time! I panicked, went to military faction with all the good stations hoping for lots of help.

     

    What happen was truly horrifying and left the sector in ruin, I was barely any help.. 2 million shield was gone in under 60 seconds, I tried to take on one at a time but it got even worse.. they were everywhere. I had no control over this situation! Take a look at this unreal event lol

     

    I also have graphics at lowest settings possible due to poor pc specs

    My ship has 2m shield, 200k hull lol, 9 upgrade slot size. Was no match for this.

    The part I felt real defeat.. they won, even after killing them all after what felt like 2 hours.. the sector was in ruin

    20 million hp stations, gone!

    It took me a loong time to figure out how to really hide everything. Basically I had to make an outer shell the main body.. and have everything inside the ship.. tons of effort but I pulled it off very nicely lol.. I also cover the thruster holes with 0.05 trinium hull, lightest possible lol

    Nice ships! Also creative mode isn't cheating, that's where you wanna go to build really well designed ships to exact specs you want, save it and then play your actual game and buy it by either build a new core block from shipyard, go into that new block hit build and go into saved and apply plan of your ship you built. This way you can make it have a new name. Or, if you already like your ship name don't bother with a new block, just go into build and apply plan. This is what I do. My newest ship is 1.350 million avorion, 800k trinium. It's beast!

    After seeing so much people making amazing ships I felt mine were terrible lol...

     

    I spent 2 days learning how to really make shapes, how to hide everything, how to make something seriously awesome and yet have awesome stats! I wanted a mega ship that was so alien and kick butt. I finally did it..

     

    My most amazing creation of all time... I am taking a break after this design because it took so much effort!

    Please let me know what you think! It's so shiny and sleek! I love it! With a spike back end so badass lol to give it oomph! lol

    Koonschi was at GDC in the US last week and that probably means that there was not a lot of work done in that time. But looking at the last weeks I would guess that tomorrow might a good candidate for a new build. But I have no insights in the development.

    Also he's moving into his new office, so hopefully that goes smoothly (power, network access, furniture, bars, locating restrooms, bed)

    Gonna give that a try.
