@V1TAS although there's a lot of value with spacedock hosting, ckan would be super redundant, since the game already handles mod installation itself. I guess the only thing that could be benefited from having ckan is mod auto-updates
@V1TAS what do you mean by "real" mod? The 5 uploaded so far are proper mods, some adding in-game tools, others new parts with their own functionalities
@V1TAS the release posts exist but aren't made public until we ensure the formatting of the release notes is correct. SteamDB is correct, we soft launched before the official release so reviewers didn't have to select a unique branch.
@mreed2 these comments are not the best place for feedback and help, I strongly recommend joining the JCS discord server, there is a channel dedicated to Vizzy and Funk. Here is a list of various discord servers, JCS is the first
@mreed2 the documentation clearly says, as you stated, get, not set. To set things you have to pass the variable to the input controllers using [PartRunningTheProgram].FlightProgram.[VariableName]
@V1TAS I know over discord how they handled it is intercepting the Steam posts by Jundroo to detect new versions being released, this website lacks an API that would provide that info, unless you scrap the release notes for the largest value.
Thanks for including us in SpaceDock! Our site allows players to upload Crafts, Mods, and more, but SpaceDock offers some neat features that we don't, like the cool graphs.
I worry that having this site will reduce the number of things being uploaded on spacedock, but if that is ok with you I can link it in the How to mod post. Hopefully, that'll give it some more exposure.
@Pedro1745 so you would get no more updates and no career mode without having to pay for a different game just so you keep the name? If you want it so bad we can make a DLC that adds nothing to the game but swaps the logo for the SR2 one
@Siryonkee http://junoneworigins.com/ now redirects to this website, we'll wait a bit for people to get used to the new name and then reverse that, so junoneworigins.com is the default and simplerockets.com redirects there
@Touhoufan there's a mix of moderators and non moderators this time. Everyone excels at what they were asked to do, I'm really happy with how they turned out, given the constraints that were put in place.
@Onoob1 @AtlasSP @t4zcomz we started dping what is callled "Localisation", a way to ease the translation of games by having all the text on text files (XML for example as pointed out by Atlas), and we even moved it to in progress.
.
Sadly we soon realised it was going to be extremely time consuming, there is a lot of text all over the place in SR2. On top of that we were actively working on career mode, which kept adding even more text and moving things around. So we decided to pause the efforts on translation support until after 1.0, if it is justified (if there are a lot of new players that don't understand english)
@Airdead I would appreciate it if you could stop spamming the comments of this post since it is totally unrelated. I would also appreciate it if you could, please, stop pinging me here and on discord.
@Airdead I'm sad to hear that. We have implemented hundreds of user suggestions, with the main one being Career Mode, which has taken a long, long time. I'm sorry to hear you don't find any value in the game because there is no star travel.
@Airdead on a personal note, I like space exploration but find interstellar travel particularly dull. Going in a straight line surrounded by nothing for hours feels a bit pointless, and misses the point of what this game is about in my opinion.
@Airdead we do read comments, but it's hard to justify answering someone that has been spamming so hard my discord DMs and pinging me all over the site. I would appreciate if you could stop doing it.
.
That said, we decided not to support multiple stars, which simplified many things. Since the game has been long built under the assumption that it should only support one star it isn't feasible to add that feature.
.
Of course, there's always room for a mod to try to implement it, but it isn't going to be supported in the stock game unless we change our minds in that regard, which is unlikely.
@XionmassResearchDevt it is just a cultural reference in appreciation for a very popular show that is warched by dozens of millions, not what I would call something nobody knows. If at any moment we receive a petition to rename it or take down the image from them that would be done immediately, because again, we are using it to show our appreciation for what they do and don't have any intention to mock or annoy them. I would personally be surprised to see any judge ignoring the clear reference because someone started spreading a conspiracy theory.
@XionmassResearchDevt overthink it as much as you want. I'm a fan of the Hot Ones, the YouTube show that sells the "Last Dab" hot sauce. In the show the sauce is used for the last cuestion. This was the last early access update, thus the last dab. Even the bottle is in the thumbnail as already pointed out! I just removed the name from the bottle to have less risk of infringing any copyright.
@XionmassResearchDevt as in the website, if we are aware of anyone being underage they are immediately banned and reported to Discord.
.
If you are so worried about those places having underage users and you haven't reported it that is illegal. If you know of anyone on this site that is underage please send us the information over email, we take that very seriously.
@XionmassResearchDevt as you know I do my best to moderate that server. Toxic people that break the rules we have in place are banned, I'm sure you can tell. Since you are banned from the server if you want to submit any image to the challenge you can DM me over Discord the images.
@CORC not having weapons is something I really like about the game. Not every game needs to be about shooting things down or killing others. And for those that want to cause mayhem, it is possible to use the existing parts to make missiles and guns, so the option is there, it's just not convenient.
Most of the things you propose here were already suggested, so the closed suggestions section is of no harm, your suggestions if just duplicates of existing ones would be either merged with them or disregarded.
.
About this post in itself. There were many things the game was lacking for career mode, we have addressed most of them over the entirety of this year, delaying the actual career mode update substantially in benefit of having a more polished game. We can't delay it any more.
.
Your first point of things that are necessary include (I'm quoting): something nice to have, something just for those that want to make orbital shipyards, and something you want.
.
About the second category, not everyone wants futuristic engines, they would be hardly of any use in a game without interstellar travel, and interstellar travel is not in the scope of the game. Drood tools are also a huge niche thing, and although I agree map view could see some love (I've made plenty of suggestions before joining the team myself) most players don't need orbital maneuvers because they just stay around the home planet.
.
We really appreciate the feedback, but don't forget this is what you want to see in the game, not what the game needs or what everyone needs. By having that mindset you are just going to be frustrated because the game isn't a perfect match for your own needs.
.
If the game does well after the release of 1.0 there are many things that could see improvements. As I mentioned the map view could get better tools not just for maneuvers but for transfers between planets. Mining would be really cool and we've mentioned in the past comms and science parts would be great to have too. But as of right now those things are totally out of the scope of what we are doing, Jundroo is a very small team, and SimpleRockets 2 is a very small game compared to others in the industry.
