I poked around in the test universe a little bit. Need to get my feet wet again. So nice to have updates again!

@@swemoney Sweet! There are a few of my mates who are waiting just a little bit longer. Then we will resume moon mining operations :) Hope to see you online 🖖

That's so awesome to hear! I'm glad you got a lot out of it! When in doubt, you always need more YOLOL! ;)

If you're into simulator style games like this it's so oddly satisfying! Recommended!

Everything I did was modifying the starter laborer so I never had any blueprints.

Ok, cool. If you ever need some. I have some. I give them out for free. Whenever they were decide to come back. Thank you

🤷🏻‍♂️ Maybe one day when the devs actually show me the game isn't dead. For now there's not a lot of reason to come back. I hope that day does come though!

Both great games! Glad you enjoyed the series!

I joked about it happening one 2 many times I guess 😫

Definitely another good solution but you'd need to start stockpiling tools in boxes so you're not waiting for a second tool to be made just to put it in your backpack. I haven't had any tool throughout issues yet with my current Twitch play through but if I do decide to start putting tools in boxes and grabbing them from there I'd definitely switch to holding extra tools in my backpack for sure.

I'm glad I could help! We're probably in a similar boat right now! I really need to get in and see what's all new and make some updated videos but I just had my second child a couple months ago so things are still a bit hectic and time is limited. With the game on life support right now, I'm still weighing how much time I can dedicate to making new videos (when that time frees up, that is). I've kept my ear to the ground and I THINK the only thing that would prevent my current ship from working right would be the need for heat sinks now. If you slap some heat sinks on the ship (I think they need to be hooked up to pipes), things should work. I'm not sure how many you might need though so you might need to do some experimenting. I'll definitely update in some way when I figure it all out, though.

I think the issue I was having renaming it was just a weird issue that might have been resolved since then by now. On the surface, it should have been that easy but any time I tried, the ship just didn't respond to keybinds for FcuForward anymore so it was just easier at the time to leave it as is. Appreciate the comment!

That's a great question and suggestion. I'm not going to lie, I just never looked at the go to and take from instructions close enough to notice the target buttons for both of them. The builder programs are so simple I just reprogram them from scratch but it definitely is easier to just copy them and switch the targets. I also never played around with the Bot Database at all in the original Autonauts so now that I'm getting to know it better in PirateBots, I might modify some of my techniques going forward. Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for your kind response, @@swemoney I bet you will change many of your old ways when you begin to realise just how different this new edition really is. Keep an open mind and don't hold on too fast to your trusted techniques.

That's a great idea, I probably would've missed the floppy disc without this comment, thanks!

Appreciate your kind words! Sadly, I burned myself out on Starbase pretty good doing this series and haven't been back yet. I saw the new update released though and have been thinking of some new videos I could do with the fancy new stuff. Hopefully I find some time to do that soon!

@@swemoney I can understand getting burnt out on games. Especially after putting a lot of hours into it, which I’m sure the videos must’ve taken. I do hope that maybe you recover from burnout someday and come back though, as I did really enjoy the learning aspect of these videos! Even before this last one, where you made the progress bar, I did something similar making a text readout of the fuel rods / 1000 so all 5 could appear on the screen at once. Was a fun little exploration of yolol for me! Thanks for all the inspiration and hope to see more from you again soon!

@@FlashAM1024 can't wait to play with the new fancy huge screens!

@@swemoney Yeah, I had my eye on those and have seen those in some vids, but haven’t touched them yet. I’d like to get waypoints for the ISAN working, and change the material screen to display both (for asteroids) at the same time instead of going from one to the other. Lot of plans!! Haha. I’d like to add more thrusters for a faster speed, and try the new speedometer module as well. As I said a lot of plans!!

Boy do I wish it was that simple. After multiple reports via F1, they finally responded by telling me they couldn't recover the ship and giving me some resources to make up for the extra effort i put into the ship. Luckily I had a slightly more frankensteined version I used to test all my tweaks on Twitch and I had done most of them at least a few times so I was able to somewhat recreate the ship. Appreciate the suggestion though!

Oh it was probably easy for me because I bought the ship and didn’t build off it, sorry for your loss

The battery percent should be pretty straight forward. As long as you have the same YOLOL code as in this video and you modified the same fields on the memory chip, battery and screen to be the same it should show a percent of your total battery power with a single decimal place after. What does you battery screen show?

Sadly, I have no experience with that ship so I wouldn't be able to help there. The only thing you can do it verify the generators and buttons are named correctly and the yolol code is changed to accommodate whatever might be different on that ship. Good luck!

Sure. I haven't been in game in a while but I jotted down this code that might work for you or hopefully give you a general idea of how to do that. It could be written better I'm sure but try something like this... rg=1000 a=(:AASR<rg)+(:AASL<rg)+(:AASU<rg)+(:AASD<rg) IF a>0 THEN GOTO 3 ELSE GOTO 1 END IF :AASR<rg THEN :DTO=:AASR GOTO1 END IF :AASL<rg THEN :DTO=:AASL GOTO1 END IF :AASU<rg THEN :DTO=:AASU GOTO1 END IF :AASD<rg THEN :DTO=:AASD GOTO1 END The first line should check all the sensors are less than the target range (rg). If any of the sensors are less than the target range, (that sensor<rg) will equal 1 so on line to we check if a is greater than 0 which means at least one of the sensors has to be less than 0. Then line's 3-6 check each sensor to see if that's the one that's triggered and sets the screen (I called it DTO here) to the range from the sensor. Hopefully that gives you a general idea!

@@swemoney I tried the Script and id did not function, but I thought about it and what I was looking for was the text display to show the distance to the object that the ranger finders saw. So i changed the First line to this rg=1000 a=(:AASR<rg) OR (:AASL<rg) OR (:AASU<rg) OR (:AASD<rg) and it worked. So thank you again for your help I really Appreciate it. Your Awesome!

@@joesgoingfishing3568 glad it worked out! I didn't test it at all so I knew something would be wrong with it of course. :P But I'm glad it set you in the right direction.

I kind of went into this series trying to keep the videos short since most of the other tutorials when I was doing these were all at least 30+ minutes. Thanks for all the kind words!

I'm glad they helped you out so much! That's awesome to hear!

@@swemoney The best dude, keep doing what you are doing but SLOWER. You are also very GOOD at YOLOL coding, I'm at 16th vid of yours, but I must look at them again with calm :) Great GUIDES for a great game ;)

Thanks!

@@swemoney The best dude, the best. It would be PERFECT if the VIDZ would be longer like 15 mins, but even like this, you made a HUGE favor to the game and to the newcomers/noobz like me. Also, I like A LOT that you IMPROVED the BASIC ship instead of PROPOSING a new model that you built as others. You are more like LET'S PLAY TOGETHER than I'M THE BEST PLAYER OF YOU ALL. That gives you a LOT of honor in your content creation ;) Keep doing the GOOD JOB DUDE ;)

Thank you! I do agree that pacing was an issue in some of my videos. I just had so much I wanted to cram into these without making them super long. It'll definitely help influence my next series.

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're getting a lot of use out of them! Can't wait to bring more!

Is there a chance you've turned the main generator button off? I've done this a bunch of times and it's always a face palm while I'm wondering why everything is draining so much. You'll also want to verify that your generator button's ButtonOfState is named Generator and your generator's FuelChamberUnitRateLimit is also named Generator.

@@swemoney it seems i just had to wait for the generator to charge up alittle before taking off it works fine now.

I'm not sure if there is a way to fix that. I believe they mentioned attaching non-module parts to your ship would make it not work in easy mode anymore in a previous patch notes a while back. Sadly. Might need to just redo the repair tutorial and start fresh.

@@swemoney I have done that remedy and it still do not work

I touched on this in episode 1. I'm not sure it still applies but you could try and get a new laborer a few times and then try switching between those new laborers until one of them works.

@@swemoney ahh but alot of resources was put into that glitched labourer, and i cannot take the parts out

@@zediknight yup. I feel that. When my laborer went "poof" and vanished I wasn't super happy either but such is life in early access. Definitely send an F1 lost ship request to the devs and see if they'll give you some of those resources back. They eventually gave me some stacks of ore to help me rebuild when I lost my ship. I don't recommend using modules or easy build at all after that initial storage and engine upgrade in episode 1.

Hah, the issue was that the Yolol was not cabled to network correctly.

Haha. Glad you got it sorted out! I don't think I could count high enough to count the number of times I've forgot to connect something.

I don't know how I missed this comment. Did you ever get this straightened out? The code should work on any ship as long as all the lasers are named AAS and you've named all of the distance fields AASU AASD AASR and AASL based on where they're located.

Haha! I definitely intend on doing some station stuff in the future but they really don't have a lot to them right now. Basically just floating safe zone storage dumps. Probably going to wait until there are some real station features I can showcase. So maybe not "soon" but sometime!

@@swemoney yeah if they push back surface mining like they did station and capitals, even your videos can't keep me playing this over new world! :P

@@kickboarder90 I've heard some great things about new world. No time or money over here right now but I hope to give it a go in the future!

I did this too when I was playing around with stuff. I made a button called Alarm and just changed the first line of my alarm script to IF (:Alarm AND :ShipBad) THEN GOTO2 END GOTO1 This way it always checks if the alarm button is active AND if the ship is bad before sounding the alarm You method should work too but you're fighting against the diagnostic computer because you're setting :ShipBad to 0 and then the ship diagnostic computer would find a durability error and change it back to 1. But if it works it works!

@@swemoney Yeah it works great! even though i have durability never hear a sound. just wanna save the rack space.

No bother! You would kind of need YOLOL if you want the gauge to read the lower percentage. Like if you named the screen Throttle and then had a YOLOL script that just said :Throttle = :FcuForward * (:FcuGeneralMultiplier/100) GOTO1 ... that should set the throttle screen to exactly what it is with the multiplier.

@@swemoney oh thank you. I will test that out as soon as I can!

I'll probably do something about making stations and capital ships in the future when they're a little more fleshed out and useful. Right now it's kind of just throwing some beams together and bolting a few workbenches down and then just using it as a parking spot or storage area. I've heard a lot of people say their ships had disappeared and they had to tow them back to origin too. Definitely something I want to do in the future though!

Sorry you're having trouble! Best advice would be to make sure all of the fields are named correctly on all of the lasers and the YOLOL is correct. The code should be available in the description so you can copy and paste. I'm not sure what issue you're having otherwise.

@@swemoney sorry i made a mistake in the code, everything works great! 👍

Haha. Glad you figured it out! Ya, all I could think about while reading your comment was the speed field on the bottom and making sure they were all the same. Good job on the upgrade! Sounds like a beast!

Thank YOU!0

The Starbase wiki has a lot of information. Most items in game you can find with their fields and a description about what they do. That's where I'd start first. I'm not a huge fan of the C mouse aiming mode right now. There's going to be proper mouse support added to the game sometime later according to their roadmap so I'm kind of just waiting for that to release before playing around with mouse aiming.

@@swemoney Thank you for your reply. . I'm annoyed that such a fundamental thing as mouse control is postponed to Q4 or even 2022. I need yaw and pitch on the mouse - I've been playing Elite Dangerous for a long time. I will try to think of a script to improve the AIM in this hellish C-mode. another question: can the blast damage be reduced? i tried adding plates next to the laser gun magazine and it didn't help, or i didn't add enough.

@@ПавелКрутой-б8ф funny thing. I played a little No Man's Sky recently after spending a lot of time in Starbase and was trying to fly with Starbase controls instead of the mouse. But ya, that's why I haven't bothered tinkering with some hacky mouse control script because I know it's a planned feature that will make any effort put in obsolete when it's released. I don't have a lot of experience with any sort of weaponry yet. So I'm not sure exactly how to mitigate damage. I saw an older TH-cam video from alpha that went through an tested all the various materials and how they stood up against all the different weapon types but that might be outdated and I think the devs are still working on getting different materials into the game. Multiple plate layers is probably your best bet for right now but ultimately it'll be the material your plates are made of when that gets fleshed out a bit more.

I've definitely considered doing something with the cockpit but ultimately I never did on the Laborer because I couldn't really think of any "new" things I would be able to showcase aside from just a different look. And the logistics of cramming all that work into a 10 minute tutorial was terrifying. :p

I'm glad you figured it out! Plating was one of the most challenging things to convey in these tutorials. And it always relied on every other episode being carried out exactly which became harder as the series went on. Happy you made it work, though!

@@swemoney its funny, because with the plating I had to work with they were the large squares (probably the ones on the edge of your ship bottom and top) and those made Hard point access very clean, for the side of my ship that only had those

Thanks for watching!

One mistake I make rather often actually is realizing I forgot to bolt something down before wiring it with cable. So make sure the socket is bolted down before using the cable tool. Then you should be able to just use the cable tool and it'll snap into the circle holes on each side and then run it to an exposed duct. The cable just needs to touch the duct and it should transfer the power to the socket. Just snap a YOLOL chip into it and make sure it says it's online and you should be good. You'll also see the green number on the left moving down each line which says that it does have power.

This isn't a bad idea. There are a couple of autopilot systems out there already. The math is kind of over my head but I'll definitely be looking into it at some point.

Thank you!

I'm glad my code rambling made sense to you! I'll definitely be doing more YOLOL specific tutorials on a more basic level in the future.

I hope whatever I do next will be just as awesome and useful as well! I may have set the bar a little high. :P

@@swemoney well I’ll be around origin 8 waiting to see what your next project is!! I’m sure it will be just as awesome.
