It should be noted that the T shaped conveyor is supposedly meant to stop the performance hit on a world when a build has too many 6 sided conveyors calculating where to take their items to

[@magonus195]

0:28 it _does_ service a purpose. When you have a complex conveyor system, and aren't running like Isy's Inventory script, being about to fine-tune connection points can be key to making sure your ammo box doesn't get filled with ice, for example.

[@Giescul]

Yep. My mining ship had accidentally bypassed the stone filter for my ejectors and started throwing literally everything out of my base. By the time I noticed, several hundred thousand ingots of various metals, lots of ammunition, parts, and other stuff had been yeeted from my storage system and onto the ground, most of which despawned.

[@GMLSX]

The T-Conveyor will use less actual PCU for sure. Besides looking cleaner. Same goes for using the reinforced conveyors instead of the six sided junction to make a wall airtight.

[@therealbahamut]

Death to conveyor junctions. It's so much worse than just the PCU; they strangle server speeds because they're always checking every face on every tick.

[@GMLSX]

@@therealbahamut that is what I meant by "actual" PCU.

[@Terminator484]

Plushies are also sometimes found as random loot in Unknown Signals. The quantity of Space Credits as loot in these has also been buffed, to the tune of 2,000 - 9,999 credits being seen often. However, the Unknown Signal's GPS no long points directly to the button, but rather to the grid. On probes with lots of buttons, it may be hard to remember which is the real button to roll for a skin.

[@nonplayercharacter6478]

Makes sense though, up the reward, up the challenge.

[@imperialguardsman521]

Small advanced rotor will be very useful when building proper vehicle turrets.

[@lineriderrulz]

I'm really glad with how the new reinforced conveyors were balanced, I wasn't impressed at first and just assumed they would be a middle ground between the durability of the naked conveyor tubes and the conveyor blocks. But it turns out they are actually slightly heavier and more durable than the conveyor blocks. So that plus the additional airtight sides makes them very much worth using, especially if you try to cram as much as possible in your ship interiors. The conveyor converter has also been ridiculously useful in building small grid rotor turrets, something which I've been enjoying a lot since the Warfare II changes made building them a lot more interesting already. Now my turrets don't need to have the extra block's height connectors obstructing the maximum depression angle! The small advanced rotor is nice and all but haven't used them yet out of serious concern for the durability of them.

[@pocarski]

Small advanced rotors are just as durable as regular rotors, and if you surround them with enough armor they should survive decently well. I haven't used them yet because there's a bug where their displacement is reversed, so I'm scared that my turrets will break the moment it gets fixed.

[@lineriderrulz]

@@pocarski well that's cool, displacement bug aside. I already used them by now in a small grid dual railgun turret so glad to know I don't need to worry too much about their durability. I think the biggest problem with rotor heads is that separate grids don't occlude explosions, and inherent in rotos is that you can never completely surround the head or base in armor. But it's worth it for freedom over looks and weapons mounted ☺️

[@delta8785]

Fun fact, 6 way conveyors use substantially more resources then regular conveyors due to how keen has coded the item management in storage and transportation, so having 3 way conveyors is HUGE now we just need 4 and 5 ways, there's a reason most servers I play on use molded conveyors and outright ban use of junctions.

[@jacksonbloodmoon3787]

Yes,

[@ph11p3540]

I am going to replace some of my 6 way junction conveyors with these enclosed conveyors. Hopefully, I will free up a couple hundred PCU in the process while keeping my ships pressurized parts sealed up.

[@therealbahamut]

And your computer (and any servers you play on) will thank you profusely.

[@WardenWolf]

I'm honestly impressed with the base they built to demo it. This isn't just a front with no substance like the 2014 demo base, or half-baked like the green Asteroid Base scenario. It's a fully functional base with a lot of work put into it.

[@KaosWater]

That is cool. Time to waste days with friends shooting guns.

[@Neuralatrophy]

T shaped conveyor helps reduce lag in large builds because of how the inventory system makes pull requests from what I understand. each connector face makes a pull request even if its not connected. The armored conveyors fill a role in that regard as well as they are air tight on one side and fill an entire block so no more conveyor junction rows to connect 2 structural points in the ship.

[@Daednumai]

A lot of this was already available through mods, I had the armored conveyors and new angled armor for example and more, but it's great they've added this to the base game now and it's free !! :)

[@CreatureOfTheVoid]

Im still waiting for the ability to to paint each block face a different color, it would be nice to have the outside one color and then use a different color for the inside of a base or ship

[@gozzilla177]

I often use catwalk flat panels for this to some effect, but it's not the same as painting an individual side of a block though

[@sebione3576]

Yes, like in 7 days to die. This would be dope. Also, the addition of zombies ;)

[@The_Digital_Samurai]

Fyi... you can get plushie parts in unknown signals. I have gotten three of them in the small cargo containers.

[@Zer0sLegion]

That's cool, didn't know that

[@Dutch_Chucky]

Seeing the thumbnail i immediately started thinking if a small grid mini rover could fit in a large grid ball. That would be so funny

[@naidenread6652]

The most important factor in the new T shape conveyor is lag reduction in multiplayer because the engine checks all 6 ports on a cube every second.

[@mikeyzuoks7377]

Who could ever forget Tron... it brought me into the sci-fi verse

[@CALiiGeddonTwo]

Some stuff I still believe is absolutely needed are colored icons, a colored HUD and some automatic ore pickup. These 3 would be some amazing quality of life updates. By all means though, thanks for the amazing updates lately.

[@Zer0sLegion]

Coloured icons definitely, I can't play without the mod

[@ZarHakkar]

If there's an option to toggle between colored icons or not, sure. I like the monochrome ones. What I think would be the supreme QoL update would be updating the grid terminal system to a tree structure.

[@aetherbeetz]

Are the sides of the armored conveyors that have full panels airtight? Is there a small grid t-intersection for full-size conveyors? If the plushie has a unique component, what does that component look like or cost at trading stations?

[@therealbahamut]

Today, hamster balls. Tomorrow? AMERICAN GLADIATORS. Joking aside, it's always nice to have blocks that add build options, no matter how significant or subtle. It really does feel like Keen's a bit late to their own party though; 90% of these blocks are already mods and they probably could've saved themselves a lot of trouble just reaching out to the modders and finding a copacetic way to simply integrate the modded blocks and reward the modders appropriately.

[@ectogaming20]

Im glad for the conveyor converters, tho i do wish we had a SG 6 way large conveyor tube block. The amount of times ive encountered situations where i need one is insane. Of course there could actually be one already and im being a blind idiot again lmao

My dream is: 1; Connection between small and large grid without any shaking and block damage. 2; Stop piston, rotor and hinge shaking. 3; Better landing gears. 4; Better hangar doors. 5; Better thrusters. 6; Better gyroscopes. And Etc.

[@Zer0sLegion]

You can stop the shaking on pistons and such by sharing tension on them, that seems to level them out

[@Zasalamel997]

@@Zer0sLegion Sometimes I use hinges to connect small grid to large and connect one or more hinges together. Then the whole thing starts slowly shaking. (I don't have gyros on it) How to prevent that ? (I see the shaking on the speed meter. Jiggling between 0.00 m/s and 0.05 sometimes 0.10 m/s.) Do i need to set the hinges OFF or set the Nm to zero ?

[@Zer0sLegion]

Turning them off and turning off braking some just let them hang loose. It's normally the brakes that cause the shaking.

[@kg4lod]

@@Zasalamel997 If you don't need relative movement between them that is uncommanded, just use the "Share Inertial Tensor" option in the hinge's control panel. This will tell the physics engine to treat the entire joint as if it was one rigid body. Also what @Zer0 said about brake torque is very correct and helpful.
