Going on the advice I've gotten recently for getting the last few MR ranks I'm trying to vary my loadouts every so often and just remodded a weapon I enjoy but rarely use: The Javlok I know it's not great but I enjoy it. I figured it'd be fun to hear what everyone's pet weapons are. What weapons, if any, do you keep around that aren't powerful but you enjoy them?

Hello everyone, I've been trying to work through my remaining MR fodder. I've picked a few things off my remaining unmastered list and started trying to acquire them... only problem is these things have proven unexpectedly difficult/annoying to get. So, is there a resource somewhere to allow for quick differentiation based on ease of acquisition? I've got few enough things on the list I could probably fit the set of all weapons I haven't mastered yet into 3-4 screenshots if that'd help. Edit: Was asked for the screenshots:      Took a bit more than I thought. While I was at it also took a few of the other things that give MR:     I have Tatsu Prime & Citrine building but otherwise I think the screenshots show a pretty accurate listing of what I still need to put effort into.

Hello everyone, Finally managed to get a modded world stable enough to have a few large machines running and enjoy their use, including an autonomous concrete factory. With that I've built some walls and then realized I don't have any real experience with modern architecture... so I've got a giant white brick surrounding my machines. Honestly, I'm not used to building on this scale either so I'm not sure how to make this look nice on multiple fronts. One thing I do know though; I don't like glass curtain-walls so I'd rather not do that for this building in spite of it certainly being big enough.  Any ideas?

Hello everyone, Just did a few missions on the Zariman and remembered a post from here or back on the old subreddit talking about some people still never using Operator mode. So I figured it'd be interesting to hear what people think about it and how much they've invested into it: - Do you use Operator/Drifter mode any more than absolutely necessary? - If so do you prefer the Drifter or Operator? - How much effort have you put into your Amp(s)? - Have you built several with significantly different behaviors? [Ex one a flamethrower, one a grenade launcher etc] - Do you use Operator &/or Amp Arcanes? - If so which ones? - If so have you raised them to maximum rank? - What Focus School do you main? - Is it the school you started with? - How far into it are you? - Have you used other schools? - If so have you unbound anything from them? - What would you say your primary method of getting Focus is? - Do you like that method? - Compared to your main Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you? - Compared to an average Warframe how effective is Operator Mode for you? - Is there any stand out utility of the mode for you? - What would you say your general opinion of the mode is?

Hello everyone, My friends and I would like to play a modded world together now that we've found 'The Essentials' mod which allows us to circumvent our previous issues with multiplayer. However we've had some issues with finding good modpacks. None of us are experts so we've just been trying ones we've found. We've mostly tried 'Create on a Potato PC Ultimate' and 'Create: Arcane Engineering'. Create on a Potato PC was/is great but we have a minor crashing issue. Arcane Engineering integrates the mod so much it makes trying to primarily work with one frustrating. My friends have also tried Create Chronicals and found it to just be altogether too much. What we're looking for is a pack with Create (addons desired but not needed) and an in-depth magic mod like Botania or Ars Magica. Any suggestions?

Besides Viral Damage and status chance, obviously. I've been slowly wringing all the MR out of my favorite primer, my Kuva Nukor, and I've gotten to the point where I'm not sure if my mod selections are quite worth the slot... and I've got plenty of capacity to work with.  This is my current build. To me the point is that it applies max stacks of Viral ASAP, as an added bonus it's Kuva element is Radiation which prevents buffing enemies from doing much of anything. As is unless I'm on SP the Nukor can and will kill most enemies quite efficiently. So, what do you do with a Viral Primer once it primes Viral with all the gusto is can? Edit: Taking all the suggestions here's what I've got:  This is looking pretty awesome now.

Just finished building the Hespar and slapped a build from Overframe on it... I didn't use to have a favorite melee weapon beyond what looked nicest strapped to my hip. I didn't really use melee much. Hespar w Galeforce Down is now my favorite. Love the wide swings and quick forward advance letting me carve through hordes with minimal effort. Might just have to put together a loadout using all my favorite things now since there's enough to fill all slots.

So, a friend of mine and I just went two for two on frustrating experiences: SP Interception is just frustrating for the two of us. We struggle to clear all the gits from the capture points between their high health and constantly streaming in. In general we can each take and hold a point then potentially hold a third long enough to gain the lead. However, the Acolyte then spawns in and annoys us long enough to lose the lead, mostly through trolling with their abilities. I have a Kuva Lich and my friend has a Sister of Parvos as our On Call Crewmen but neither of us have put any work into optimizing them, they're both just more-or-less the first thing we spared rather than killed. I also summon Kahl and his support units while my friend calls Ancient Healers (they prefer a different Air Support). I know my Lich isn't optimal, it uses one of the less impressive Kuva variant guns, the Quartakk, and only has one power that's noticeably helpful: their version of Hollowed Ground. Their SoP Crewman is similarly unimpressive but I don't recall the specifics. Both of us need better help. So, what should we be looking for in terms of the best support for SP missions?

Of note: I don't do collision overload and rarely melee in general.

Hello everyone, I recently looked up how to make autonomous courier drones and realizing how easy they are I decided it was well past time to try branching out into using remote control and drones more. So, I've engineered this little thing to serve as a drone outpost. The intent being that it'll host a mining drone and a courier so that the whole kit can be deployed to a location by a valuable resource. Being my first drone vessel I wanted to see what other people thought of it while I'm still prototyping. I've got two custom turrets that hold a folding solar panel system, slapped some O2 generators on it just in case a manned vessel is running low and near one. I've got a gyro and RC on it along with forward and rearward facing cameras. It occurred to me that I'm using Hydrogen thrusters and as such have to have facilities for ice processing and storage but I tend to struggle to find platinum.

Hello everyone, Doing a bit more work on the big carrier I'm designing to use with a friend and I've sealed up the hangar-areas but now I've got a new problem: I've got a 23 block long door that could potentially vent a painful amount of oxygen into space. I don't want to scrap the door because I think it's cool (and very loosely taking inspiration from the Venator Class Star Destroyer from Star Wars), and I think it'll be reasonably 'practical' way of handling the positioning of the hangars. So I'm considering two fixes: 1. Either keep this section depressurized always but allow the hangars to pressurize or 2. Build a system such that the big area will decompress via vents before the door opens. I think Option 2 would be better but I really don't know how to do much in the way of automation and the airlock videos I've seen seem to rely on timer blocks which would mean that I'd need to time the depressurization of a massive room... Is there any way I can just detect when the pressure is at 0% or some other workaround? Any guidance on this problem would be very helpful. Also for context the room this door is to is a bit above 11,250 cubic meters in volume. Getting an accurate measurement is a little difficult do to an irregularly shaped device I've built in it. I'm having a hard time finding rates for things when I go looking so I'm not sure how many vents I'd need to depressurize this in a reasonable period of time.

Ingots just won't move into the assemblers.

Just recalled a fond memory from when I first started playing and figured I'd share and see if anyone has similar experiences. This was way back in, if I'm remembering correctly, the single digit updates... I think six but I'm not sure. At least for me and a few friends at the time Ancient Infested were scary, actually required specific focusing down and a little cheesing of the not-so-great AI they had back then. A lot of bosses were like the Sargent, just bigger/tougher versions of normal enemies. Death came frequently enough that teamwork was important and builds like an ultra-slow but functionally indestructible Rhino were *assets* to the team rather than an unwanted holdup. But back then even the most indestructible of builds with the best of weapons were out matched by one adversary: The Stalker. He didn't have his now iconic weapons back then, no he used a Braton and Cernos but he used them well and had some protection against powers being used against him. I recall him causing mission failure on so many missions... then just about when I was going to conclude he's unkillable he spawns in while I'm solo trudging in my maximum tank Rhino build. He's killed it before but it was my main and I was never really one to just give up. He's running circles around me as he was able to to... at least in part 'cause my run speed was slower than Excalibur's walk. But I manage to get out from whatever power-suppression he had back then I go for a Charge... and miss but it got me enough distance to have just a sliver of breathing space and with that I try again, probably last time before my powers are gone again. Hit. Not just a hit but he disappears... I didn't think he was beaten but it wasn't like The Stalker to let up on the attack... I trudge on continuing the mission. I complete the objective... no second round, no ambush. I'm getting a little anxious as I keep on trudging toward the exit. I reach it... and the normal mission complete plays and I'm bounced back to mission select. I won. I could hardly believe it but I won. Unfortunately I didn't get anything special though as this was before you were guaranteed the sigil for the first kill.

Hello everyone, It's more ore less complete so I figured it's time to share my large grid build: The Voxel Lance https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3108828736 The Lance is a bore-miner meant to land next to ore deposits and use the bore-drill affixed to the top of the ship to collect the ore. Warning: Don't operate the drill in flight. It dangerously rotates the entire ship. I'm not sure the build has sufficient thrust for the cargo to be filled entirely... can't seem to get sufficient lift while having a hull. Edit: If anyone tries out the Lance please let me know what you think of it or any ideas for making it better. I mostly engineer things from scratch and only take a little from videos (eg the drill-head for the Lance is from a short I've seen you YT)

Really wish there was a 'guess best fit' option somewhere when building a hull. I've got a spot where I'm trying to blend a slope and it feels like I've tried every armor piece in every configuration and none of them fit.  I have an OK mental image of what I want the hull to look like and it's actually helping with the choice-paralysis from my prior post however I can't hold a few dozen different mental images in my head at once to fit the puzzle pieces together in a timely manner. What fits in the game shown? To zoom out a bit: the idea I had for the Hull was to have a cockpit on a protrusion and have it enlarge in a segment or two before more-or-less flattening out on a wider body. I'm trying to make the slope for one of the first columns of it widening and need this mystery block. Edit: Adjusted the overall shape of the build to avoid needing this part... I think it looks better now too. Making good progress and came up with a name for it. I may post a download link to the Voxel Lance v1 sometime soon.

Hello everyone, Figured I'd ask here 'cause I'm getting the problem that got me to quit my previous world again: When I've got a sufficiently large build I want to make I can't clearly envision how I want to assemble it. To take the current example: I've just finished building my Miner Mk2 after redesigning it (lost my BPs when I upgraded my PC) and I can already see that while leagues better than the Mk1 it will be insufficient for the big projects I want to do... so I've begun work designing it's replacement. Thing is the replacement is a Large Grid mining vessel with a special mining bore-arm that I'd designed separately and special connector-arm to be able to transfer material to my ground-base. I've got those two elements but I can see several ways to set up the internals and I'm not sure which one to go with... or how I'd want to stylize the Hull since I couldn't exactly fly a LG brick. Anyone else get this problem? Should I design the hull first and then fit the functional bits inside it?

Hello everyone, I'm working on building myself a better mining ship and it's occurred to me that I predominantly use only two mining methods: Fixed drills or "simple" drilling arms that use only pistons and rotors to extend forward and make a bar of drills drill the area of a field via rotation. I'm know people make large-grid mining ships and I've seen a few that are amazing... and suffered a good bit trying to replicate a design I can't find anymore. But, I don't know much about how to effectively go about mining with large drills... When I was trying to make a large-grid drill wheel I was told that builds usually focus on making a small number of drills do more drilling and my design was horribly inefficient (and it was, in addition to being a PITA to assemble). So, are there any good resources on how to make a drilling-arm that'll cover a broad area using a small number of drills?

Hello everyone, Was just looking up a farm and the thought occurred to me that while I understand how to follow semi-technical tutorials and have a basic understanding of how most/all redstone blocks work I don't know very much about building the machinery or circuits myself from scratch. I've built a 3x3 piston door from a mix of scratch & memory (seen it done in videos many times prior to trying myself but wasn't intentionally copying any specific circuitry) and could intuit how to make a basic auto-smelter & auto-composters without having to look them up. But I only have a vauge understanding that there are such things as quasiconnectivity and T Flip Flops. So, anyone have good resources for learning to do the engineering rather than Ikea-ing builds?

...and I'm impressed. I did a quick reference of what she needs in terms of making her powers shine and threw something together then gave her a simple trial-by-fire: Zariman Exterminate At first my guns were carrying her. Got a little cocky and activated a Void Angel... couldn't handle it with just the guns (didn't bring my best to avoid wholly carrying her). So I avoid it and go about killing the enemies I need and in the process unlock Merulina. I hop on and decide to give the Angel another try since it's been following me. Now I've got the advantage against it. In the battle against the Angel I unlock Aqueblades and found they were... honestly OK against the Angel but pretty good against the Grineer.

Been a hot minute since I've used it but if memory serves it drops off at higher levels but that doesn't matter too much, it makes me smile to use it. Anyone else have pairings like this? Something fun that's amped up quite nicely by the rest of the build. Doesn't have to vaporize arbitrarily high level eximus, just has to be fun for whatever level range it works at.

Be me: Raven, Pilot: Arlo, Frame: EVEREST Be not me: Cypher, Pilot: Rena, Frame: EVEREST; Ghost, Pilot: *Undisclosed*, Frame: EVEREST; DM *Session opens on the stolen MBL-HM3 light freighter, having stolen it to escape from a planet* Ghost preoccupies themselves with maintaining their equipment Cypher is poking at their NHP... it's not poking back, yet Raven gets on the ship intercom: "Hey, if we're going to be working together we'll need an organization... I can set it up but we'll need a name." *Que short discussion of names before Ghost suggests 'Hammers', DM suggests adding a prefix to it and so we become the Crimson Hammers Mercenary company* We decide to take a job defending a moon mining base from some small-time raiders. We arrive on site and get to work fortifying to the best of our ability... they will be arriving soon. "Incoming." Ghost states, "Two West, Two East" as they come up on sensors. "Got this one." Raven calls boosting into the fray and igniting his plasma sword and slashing into the lightly armored mech. The slashed enemy mech begins to walk for cover provoking Overwatch from Raven... his plasma sword burns out right before contact. It then pops Raven for 6 damage... "Guys.... help!" Raven calls over their coms asking for assistance. Ghost responds by deploying a number of turret drones. Cypher catches a shot to the chassis as the enemy that fired moves into cover. Cypher pops their Core Power and surges into combat to help Raven. Launching their Nexus Swarm... it misses. They try to followup with a Lock-On and still fail. The first enemy miss of the battle occurs as a mech waddles into a crater. The fourth enemy takes a shot damaging the building we're protecting... and second enemy miss of the session. Next round the enemy goes first! Enemy mech on the far side of the building gets shot... actually doing damage. Raven goes first throwing a Hex Charge as a grenade! It chips both mechs and before the dust settles he's where they blast came from slashing both mechs with the plasma sword via Executioner and failing to finish off the second with a bad shotgun damage roll. The second enemy manages to do the first point of Structure damage against Raven's mech! Ghost's turn! They steady their aim and annihilate their first target with their super-heavy sniper rifle. No enemy left alive to take their turn so it's Cypher's turn. They surge across the battlefield to try to Lock-On a new target... success! They then consume it to sic their drones on it... and miss again. Raven's turn first at next round and he slashes the second mech in half. Ghost catches a bullet... these guys are persistent. Cypher nails them in return with the AMR and then their RPG for massive damage! Ghost surges into range to finish them off with their Thermal Rifle. Combat ended Ghost rips the slagged mech open... the pilot is alive! "I got one." Ghost says "How bad is he?" Cypher replies He's alive, we hand him to the miners to guard while we deal with upcoming waves. *We have a few turns to repair our mechs before the next wave, we use the time to return to defensive positions and patch our mechs.* Now in a much better position than before we're ready to deal with the next wave... Ghost goes first... their Cyclone Rifle slays another target. Hearing the explosion, "Cypher, think you can break their comms?" Raven comments "I can try." Cypher replies as the enemy's turn begins. They try to fire a Mortar... and forget that we're in micro-gravity sending it off out of the battlefield. They then waddle away. Cypher's turn. They Scan & Invade the enemy mech preventing them from approaching seeing they've got good weapons. The invaded enemy waddles their way closer... but can't do much to any of us in that state. Raven pops the slowed enemy with his shotgun then backs away as a turret gives a followup-pop *End of round and DM tells us something is happening... and whatever it was it missed* Ghost takes first turn and moves to a hidden position The knife-guy moves up to flanking with Cypher! It forces a hull-save from a ram then boosts toward Ghost. Cypher misses with the AMR then sics her drones on the target cutting into them. Raven leaps into action landing on the melee-mech and vertically bisecting it with the plasma blade. Ghost stabilizes and reloads. The one remaining enemy fires their arching weapon... and batters Cypher and the building. Cypher boosts back into range. They Lock-On and then Invade to activate their Hacker talent... putting the target into the Danger Zone! Raven boosts into range of the artillery mech... and misses with a shotgun. Seeing mechs charging at it the artillery panic-fires and misses. Cypher's turn! She nails it with the Nexus and with the turrets help the mech goes boom. *Wave 2 defeated* We're told fast moving units, likely fliers, are incoming by the miners operating the outpost Ghost goes first and takes aim with the Cyclone Pulse Rifle... crit! One dead mech. Undeterred the first action of the enemy is to charge into battle! Reaching Raven with a boost. It wiffs it's one attack. Raven slashes the mech in his face... provoking a reaction to be counter-meleed via chainaxe, doing just enough his shotgun followup misses. The turrets finish off mr. chainaxe The artillery mech that came in with these guys launches his payload hitting the building, Ghost, Cypher, a turret, and the building. Nailing them for 11 damage. Cypher retaliates with her AMR chipping it before beginning to spread out, the artillery is getting dangerous. It panic fires as it's hit and the shell goes wide. Ghost repairs and reloads. Raven boosts into melee with the artillery mech... and misses. Cypher surges up and pokes it then ducks for cover. It's turn! It misses. Raven stabs through it's core with the plasma blade on Overcharge then spends their full-action to stabilize. Cypher reloads. End of round and the fliers arrive! Raven boosts at the first flier... and misses. The flier tries to escape Raven provoking Overwatch... and it does a barrel roll! It flies over the building and bombs the structure. Cypher takes a Barrage to try and down the other flier... it also barrel-rolls but she nearly downs it on the second shot. Ghost takes a shot... and misses with the Thermal Rifle, they then drop smoke for soft-cover. The wounded bomber spins 'round and does a bombing run on Cypher. Ghost takes aim with their Cyclone Rifle... and ~~misses~~ Reliable saves the action and they down the flier, they drop another smoke to stay hidden. Through the smoke the flier manages to connect with Ghost. Raven goes next and overcharges for a second boost... getting in range of the wounded flier only to miss their slice. Cypher takes their shot with the Nexus and shreds the second flier. "Anything else on long-range sensors?" Raven asks the outpost. "Nope, all-clear." the outpost responds. "Is the building OK?" Raven asks again "There were a few explosions... something collapsed. I think we can fix it." they reply. With combat over we extract from our mechs. We ask to see the prisoner... Raven asks where their ship is. He doesn't want to answer. Raven hits him, Ghost threatens to do worse. They still don't crack. "Can we get a room? Don't need to damage the employer's peace of mind." Raven asks. They oblige and we get a room. *We decide not to RP out the "interrogation" and leave it as rolls* *Near-crit* He breaks as part of the slow-walk to the interrogation room. He explains that they've made their base in the derelict of an ancient planet-cracker mining ship. "Is what you've sent all the kinds of things you have?" Raven asks. "I don't know everybody, I didn't know all those guys." he replies. "What's your comms code?" Raven asks, looking to be able to listen in on enemy comms. He hands us his comm unit. Raven hands it to Cypher, "Figure out what code it's on and update our mechs with it." She has it done after a few moments of looking at it. "'Bout how big is your operation?" Raven asks "Think we've got... 30 mechs and a few hundred people." he replies. With that the interrogation is over. We let the miners know we're done with him, they can do what they wish but we don't want him wondering off to warn his buddies. *We call the session their making mental note to see if we can gain allies for the raid on their base*

Be me: ~~Erin, Human Fighter~~ Zaquar, Catfolk Swashbuckler Be not me: Lilly, Ratfolk Druid; Elshe, Kobold Psion; Doot, Lizardfolk Shifter; DM *Resuming the game mid battle it's Elshe's turn!* Elshe fires a bolt of cold and tries to take cover... there's not much cover to be found but she's trying. Lilly casts Stabilize on Erin, saving him from bleedout. Erin... is still KO'd Doot moves up to the railing and waits for a sensible boarding opportunity. Enemy sailor's turn! It hails arrows from the enemy ship at ours! The crew of our ship have finished reeling in the caught ship and actually get turns! They take shots with their own bows- *BOOM* and swivel guns! Elshe buffs herself with Inertial Armor Lilly holds action to intercept boarders. Doot grabs a boarding plank and drives it into place. The enemy sailors continue their bow barrage. Our crew return fire with arrows and shot. A few of our guys begin to board the ship! Elshe peeks up from over their cover and fires another beam taking them down. Lilly's turn, Fang charges across the boarding plank to score a kill! Doot is dumped into the drink by an enemy action and stunned... Our pirates continue to engage the enemy. The few remaining sailors surrender. Lilly heals Erin... he's still unconscious. Lilly wakes him up once he's to positive HP. "Don't do that again, please." Lilly says to Erin. "Yeah, don't think I will be. Going to do something safer." Erin. Doot is yoinked onto the ship by unexplained means. *Swap to Zaqaur* Zaqaur tries to kick down the door to the opposing ship's captains quarters. He then tries to simply pick the lock... and still fails. Doot makes his way over and tries to open the door... One solid kick and the door flies off it's hinges. "Why thank you, matey." Zaqaur comments with the door kicked in then heads inside. Zaqaur goes to step inside... and immediately flops onto the deck, asleep. Runic traps. *...checking the specifics of the trap it hits Doot too and they save!* Doot gives Zaquar a few good kicks waking them up. "Yarr! Rar... thank you. Damn magic traps." Zaquar. "You there, Kobold! You're magic." he continues. Doot points to Lilly, "She's magic too." "Alright then, are there more traps?" Zaquar asks "I don't have Detect Magic prepared." Lilly replies. Elshe carefully makes her way across hearing the back-and-forth 'bout needing magic. Elshe scans with Detect Magic and finds there's magic below deck but nothing on this deck. "Go mark it out, I'll be assesin' what's in the cabin." Zaquar states. Elshe makes her way to the stairs down, "Lilly, is Fang done eating?" "He's done." she replies, and Elshe asks for him as a bodyguard on the lower decks Zaquar finds a logbook searching the captain's quarters... it says they're storing dangerous magic items. He hands the book to Doot, "Go keep the new Kobold from blowing themself up." Meanwhile Elshe has found the general location of the magic items and is beginning to read their auras... Elshe is carefully marking out what's what and writing an inventory without disturbing anything as Doot arrives to explain the danger. With the logbook in hand and the partial inventory with their own paper Elshe is making good progress assessing what's what and asks Doot to relay this is going on to the captain of our ship. Lilly manages to find the keys when asking Zaquar if he's found them... she takes them back to the hold for Elshe to pop some chests. Opening the first chest they find an Orb, emanating an aura of Illusion! They grab the Orb and get a second Will Save... it's slimy. Elshe sits down to identify the orb... it's an orb of annoying illusions. It makes everything you do near it just a little more unpleasant. Moving onto the next chest they unlock it and carefully peer into the chest... there's a wand! "Yarr, there not be explosions yet... ye be alive?" Zaquar asks coming down the stairs. Elshe confirms and explains which chests are dangerous. The wand has a single charge... of True Resurrection! *Too bad the Captain probably won't let us keep this.* There's one last non-dangerous aura... more illusion. Elshe opens the chest and it's a wineglass. Intrigued she picks it up and it fills with wine... their favorite wine, even if they don't know what that is. They identify it as being an illusion of wine, always providing the taste of the holders preferred kind of wine. Elshe and Lilly sip some wine... Elshe not explaining it's an illusion. "Not too much, any sailor still drunk by sunrise is dunked in the ocean." Zaquar warns. Elshe asks Zaquar to make sure nobody fucks with the dangerous chests as she takes the wand and warning of the dangerous chests to the Captain. The captain is having tea with the opposing captain in her quarters. The Captain is pleased to have the wand delivered and word of the other items. With that the day-to-day work of living on a ship resumes. *With that we call the session.* Previous Session: https://dormi.zone/post/240371
