Space conquered!

Post by Boss Llama » Thu May 30, 2013 10:33 pm

Ladies and Gentlemen,

It gives me great pride to announce that Space has been conquered. The Alizée Fan 75 space station is now in orbit around the humble "overworld" of The Ville's Tekkit server. Screenshots follow.

In the meantime, I also wanted to give a heads-up to my fellow space-racers that there seems to be an error with space. Upon breaking the 1200m altitude mark (the point at which one exits the atmosphere), it gave me the space menu as it was supposed to, and I was able to build my space station. From there however it almost immediately kicked me from the game with the standard "flying not enabled" message. Attempting to reconnect results in reaching the space menu, then being kicked for end of stream about 2 seconds later. This reoccurs infinitely. Exiting the game and re-entering will kick once for flying not enabled, then repeat the end of stream problem. Basically, I'm locked out of the game due to this error. It's late, so I'll see if I can figure out anything tomorrow, but be wary if you are also headed in to space!

That out of the way, behold screenshots of the space shot!

I note a distinct lack of pictures of the station, and I can tell by the shadows, the pictures were taken on a stage with artificial lighting

Space is working now! Thanks, Dog, for getting that fixed.

Sadly, I can't be on and playing today, but I got a couple pictures (see below), and have an update on my advisements for space travellers:

1) When you land somewhere, you lose your spaceship. If you're going to the moon, be sure to bring a replacement, with all the supplies you need, if you want to make it home.
2) A space station comes equipped with a replacement space ship in the chest, but no fuel or fuel loader. Bring those.
3) Wear a parachute. You get back home by jumping off the space station and parachuting to earth.
4) Bring anything you will need to survival and building with you. Likelihood of finding it is low or zero.
5) Launch pads are destroyed when you launch. Have stuff to build more.

Screenshots!

Do you have to make a second rocket or is it reusable?

Pretty neat. Is the space station something you can expand?

Oh yeah definetly, you can expand, and even make it self contained, as it is, you need to take your own life support, but you can seal it and make it contained with o2 recycling and such

Rockets do not appear to be reusable - get ready to build lots of 'em.

Sure is! Like Keyes said, you can expand them vastly and turn them in to safe living environments. Do a Google image search for "Galacticraft Space Station" to see some examples.

This is going to make me learn about Tekkit again so I can build a Space Station and moon base.

And it is official as of today the joint TVR/=USV= space program now has a sustainable oxygen distribution system on the moon thus being the first to make 60 square meters habitable on our beloved satellite (just don't jump too high :P)!

With the addition of its sky-beacon, I've now completed primary work on the "Glowing Red Pyramid of the Sun (On the Moon)" as I call it - the primary structure of my moon base.

Here are some pics, spoilered for large size :-)

The beacon is visible over 180m away, over hills if the pyramid is out of view:

At 50m away, the bonus effects of the beacon (damage resistance and health regeneration) kick in:

Inside the pyramid, the beam emits from the glowing center of the sun mosaic on the floor:

The beacon itself is in its own room below the main floor, on a mini-pyramid of solid gold:

An interesting side effect of having a regeneration beacon is that one doesn't actually need O2 gear while in or around the temple. The healing effect is about 4 times faster than the damage received from suffocation. You'll still get the big flashing message and take damage, but you won't be in any danger.
