EDIT: Also, the delay in shield recharge kicking in means that small ships can theoretically eventually break a large ship's shield, though I haven't tried a practical test yet.Well, a small ship still has to bring the shields to 0 first, but once it did, it can damage the big ship, rather than struggling to keep it down.
114.8*(((1000+1+1)^1.7030)/3) + 25*(1000) + 1
There was never any /z
*facepalm*
So that, you know, things aren't done to the wrong thing.
Nice equations
A 1000x1x1 generator with the correct equation: 1,003,486 e/sec.
With that equation: 4,960,128.3 e/sec.
But it was obvious it was wrong without doing the math.
Do you mean 'exactly correct' or do you mean 'in the right ballpark'? For 'exactly correct', someone would probably have to decompile the source. Oh look, someone did. And that works perfectly, according to my tests just now.
If you meant "I got like 2 or 3 million e/sec and really shouldn't have," are you sure your parens were in the right place? Because that can completely frak it up. It happened to me several times. If you mean "IT'S NOT COMING OUT RIGHT" and you put in the number of blocks where you should have put in the xlen+ylen+zlen or vice versa, that would be your fault.
The last thing I did was this:
{179*3, 178*3, 177*3, 176*3, 42, 5} -> x: (1/(1+(1.000696)^(sum(-(x/3)^(1.7))*.333))-.5)*2000000+25*(sum(x)-2*dim(x))
Representing the power generators which I have set up in this construction at the moment.
The answer I received was 1050057.1038168. In StarMade's build mode I see 1050057.1 e/sec. (Apparently the 1+ is for the core's 1 e/sec)
-snip-
35k power regen is absolutely abysmal for 40k blocks. Look back in the thread, proper power core construction has been explained a couple of times if I remember correctly.
The rest of it is looking pretty great though.
Haha, yeah. The only redeeming quality is that there's barely anything on it that really grinds down my power. It'll probably get more reactors later on.

My first post in the thread starting to explain what's going on with power generation: http://star-made.org/comment/18400#comment-18400
Quick summary: The x, y, and z dimensions of each connected set of power generators determines primarily how much power it will generate, and this is exponential, until your total there ((xdim+ydim+zdim)/z)^1.7 or so starts to get up near 1 million. At that point gain starts to slow down. It won't go past 1 million. However you get 25 e/sec per power gen block in addition, so it's still possible to gain more power, just inefficiently.
(I'm Trafalgar on the star-made forums, by the way)
Also, engine thrust is calculated the exact same way as power. So you want long lines of engines or +-shaped engines, not individual engine units and not large blocks of engines, for maximum engine efficiency.
I'm liking this game, but find the campaign difficult.
I managed the first mission (where you need to fetch an artifact from south east, after clearing some aliens), but the one after that kicks my butt while i'm around 50% through flying research.
I havent gotten past the first mission yet.
I find its lack of progression to be annoying. Like, I've gone in there, blown up turrets, and building but the Creepers number don't seem to really diminish.
