It's back!

The long awaited (?) critically acclaimed (?!) construction/survival server is back!




SPACEBUILD


What?!

This is a hosted remake of my old spacebuild mod from 2012. It has a ton of new features (or at least it will) and is in active development (terrible topic) When the mod is finished it will be available to the general public as a gamemode with a build in clientsided system that adds keybinds for things like inertia dampening and ship placement. The server I'm hosting it on has a ton of cool brickpacks as well as some cool spacey themed mods that I found. We also have the trains mod running, actually. Not gonna question that.

How do I play? Which way is down?
There is no down.
You need to get the hang of how directional jetting works in 0 gravity. Inertia Dampeners are helpful, but some people prefer to grapple like in Spacebuild v1. There's a bunch of instructions at the spawn for how to do things, but for now, here's everything:

/toggleInertiaDampener or /TID will toggle your magical space brakes when you're floating around in 0G. Recomended for use when building to keep you at a manageable speed. Turn off for hardcore flight and chaotic construction.

Place gravity plating to produce basic gravity (1G), and gravity field generators to produce euclidian gravity (2G). 3G and negative gravity is possible but not in the mod yet. Note how gravity objects now show a preview of their area of effect when placed.

Note that as of now there is no oxygen, temperature or atmosphere features such as airlocks or heaters. Those will be added later.

Cnai be doge?
RPing is allowed. Have fun, stay away from me.

Spam?
Spam is punishable by death here. Don't make a mess and leave it for us to clean up. Thanks.

Turning off the inertial dampeners doesn't so much give you hardcore flight as much as "HOW IS MY EVA PACK ACCELERATING ME AT 7G?!?!"


Seriously, it's enough to pin you to the roof while in 2G of artificial gravity.

Lol, yeah.

I should probably limit it but I'm not sure how to do so in a way that doesn't seem really buggy. Just pretend you have a cruise missile strapped to your back. (:

EDIT: Oh, also, keep in mind that this particular flavour of space mod is meant to be arcadey, not realistic.

Can't even find it
It goes down during UK night. If that's your day, you'll have to wait until the mod comes out.

Arcadey Space Mod as opposed to Realistic Space Mod. :P

Make the mod public, please... no one likes it when people private mods. XD

"No one likes it when [independant clause]."

Independant clause: "People private mods."


Where's the verb?


I'll definitely have to check this out, I like how you try to make the players feel like they are actually in space by gravity being set to 0.

Technically it's something like 0.025.

How does this mod even work... no down?
