29th September - Magnets! How do they work?

Except they would probably just use /admin to cheat before joining the server and get the Breath Protection Tech... or already use a character that has the tech...

 

If the magnet / repel doesn't knock a player off of a Skyrail track, then I can finally build Elon Musk's Hyperloop around my planet!

 

just like to point out something that has nothing to do with this


you know its damn true when general nuclear is saying it
i can't go two steps on them without dying its radioactivity not acid
i don't want you to remove them either because it makes sense to have in the game and ever space sci fi games have it
just make it more like the old cold and heat system
at least make a lesser radioactive planet without the entire planet being radioactive

 

Definitly curious as to wether thes work on liquids or if there will be a version that does.

 

@General Nuclear: * too damn high, but points for trying.

 

I can see this being used in a similar capacity to PenguinToast's "Force Gates" Mod. [DOUBLEPOST=1443633521][/DOUBLEPOST]

Excellent idea. I'm gonna have to experiment with this!

 

If only there were stronger explosives in this game I'd make vertical railguns with these and use them to propel explosives to mine for me. And if it does work on liquids, that's great for my underwater base.

Well, wishful thinking aside, I can see quite a few good uses for these.

 

I totally agree with you. They just aren't strong enough. Especially for those who like to build at a larger scale probably not suited to the game. And if you haven't checked out trevtrev800's "Digger Turret" you could get some ideas for those railguns there I wouldn't call the mod a cheat, but most of the work is automatic.

 

Its so coll...i really dont care about the graphics of those thingies.

 

Explosives destroy every Block they blow up... they're even more worthless then the Minecraft TNT cause the Minecraft TNT blows up ANY of the Blocks it mines up, & blowing up EVERY Block it mines up is a hell of a lot worse!

For the Topic: Will variations of this Tech be added that pulls one way & pushes the other way at the same time to make a directional version of this gizmo?

Also, can this eventually lead up to a Tech for the Player that makes their Item Pick Up Range much stronger? (Speakin of which, why the hell is the pick up range of Items in the down direction so retardedly weak?)

 

What does MPG mean? Multi-Purpose-Grenade? Magnetic-Pulse-Grenade?

Do you remember this DBZ attack in which stones start to float and suddenly, they are repelled like bullets? I was just imagining something like this... or some remote-controlled grenades!

 

Please refrain from responding with images only. This is to prevent clutter in the forum.

 

Here's a thought. Are the magnets gauge-able? Can we turn their strength up and down? Because another hilarious trap would be causing opponents to fall and crush to death over a span of a single block. SPLLLFFRRTTTTHHSSHHHH!!!!!

 

I can see some pretty cool launchers coming out of this...
Toss in a plasma grenade, or some other explosives, and launch it to that apex base that's in your world!

 

These wiring and mechanics systems are like inception, it just gets deeper and more interesting as you go, good work and good times

 

RPG stands for rocket-propelled grenade. MPG would mean magnetically-propelled grenade.

 

Then YES, that one I meant. ^_^
