Heavy armor is bad and it should feel badĪ really common beginner mistake is overuse of heavy armor "Cuz it'as the bestist aramor in the whole game ekks dee =3 !!!1". (Jet stablisers, hydrofoils, Jet engines)"ġ. Build your ship wide or with pontoons (catamaran style) Can be suspended lower for higher effectiveness As such you will need to design your ship considering stability. Waves will make your CoM move from side to side. In easier words: the heavy part of the ship always wants to be as low as possible. The cause of capsizing is often the point where the center of mass (CoM) crosses a point where the ships stability cannot stop it from moving. Looking at how real life ships are built is a good starting point though. This handy quote from Samlow puts this way better than I could: If you have enough engine power and are willing to mess with PID's you can just take the easy route and use downward facing propellers to force your ship up out of the water (most onyx watch ships do this). The ship doesn't go that deep into the water but it makes up for it by being wide. Tl dr you need to have more under the water than over it Too little under the waterline and it will sink Essentialy leaks are a crapload easier to plug when using beams correctlyįor your ship to float it needs to displace its own weight in water under the desired waterline. This is going to get covered more thuroughly in the armor section. (Trust me the mutiplayer lag is already horrible Using beams means you divide the blocks your computer has to process by 4, Thus increasing performance for you and your buddy's.

The reason for this phrase becoming so prevalent is that beams are superior to blocks in every single aspect, But just to beat this dead horse I'm gonna list every aspectĬongrats using beams equals 700 free hp without any added cost! If you've been a noob for around twenty minutes its likely someone has already screamed USE BEAMS at the top of there lungs at you already. In build mode you can assign blocks to your number keys, This can substantially speed up building. Not a whole lot concrete to put here, mainly because how you shape your hulls develops as you build more. I've played 20+ Sandbox games a good portion of which where voxel based and none come anywhere close to this game, so please give FTD a chance, it really is worth the wait.

I've nearly smashed my keyboard in frustration only to come back 3 hours later and instantly realize the problem. This game is going to be brutal until you get the hang of it.Įverything is going to seem unbearably obtuse, But once you crawl up the skill curve you will be amazed, if you just aren't up to it there's no shame in just taking a break. The jokes about peoples first ships taking 200 hours are shockingly honest. Better yet build a test platform and go wild!

Ok so you have escaped the forum alive with an unanswered question or you don't wanna put up with anyone, well there are hundreds of vehicles built in to the game and thousands on the workshop so go in with a scalpel and dissect some ships. Jokes aside this is where the dev's hang out if they cant answer your question they will consume your spleen for being a tzeentch worshiper, Tread lightly. The forum is a pocket dimension filled with immortal litches whose shear knowledge will flay your mind and crush your very soul to fuel their 40 barreled cram cannons Sadly It's not a craphole and if you are excessively based you're gonna get banned Not only is borderwise one of the best FTD youtubers but his discord is an awesome place to hang out and discuss the game. I am now aware fourgreenfields is actually updating the wiki before now it was totally useless, but hes really cleaned the place up (I am also personally active and more than willing to answer questions in the comment section of this guide itself)
