Petition to make the Marauder the mascot of FTD

Can we get a squeaky chair tutorial im sure everyone wants it xd

Nice. Also Draba and Awellner were wondering about ways to get better documentation on mechanics in game. Might involve linking the wiki but that needs peeps to help update the wiki.

Man i love your guides. You don't know how many times you saved me of being completly erased by the steel striders

Hey BorderWise, in this video, you mentioned: •1 friendly Kobold •1 friendly Duster •2 arseholes •10 marauders w/o friendly (unfriendly marauders) •13 friendly marauders Enjoy the data and statistics, brought to you by a shit load of coffee and too much time on my hands.

The 'regular' bombing run is probably meant for ships as well which you probably don't want to have ram the enemy, while the aerial bombing is for flying vehicles (subs too, they fly underwater) or ones you want to have ram the enemy and drop payload. Not sure if that's true but that's how I keep track of it.

fun fact, the reinforced wood is from the catalyst mod. the ftd dev hired the catalyst mod maker and they have added several new things like railings, more simple weapons, hatches and doors, and a bunch of the decorations! also theres a brain model inside the player head and mainframe block.

The cease mouvement range of tank broadside is essencialy to stop before ramming an ennemy if your craft ain't supposed to

You can set the parameters on bombing run so the craft does fly over and back again, it also works for subs, just made a sub today that uses bombing run. Mostly cause I can never get hover below to work right. Also a lot less fiddly if you actually put all 6 PID's onto the mainframe. Not a fan of the general PID's. The altitudes for all of them is based on the location of the AI in this ship.

I did notice my ship going closer than I set it to

AI tutorials are always cool.

I don't mind your longer videos.

I'm really enjoying your content BorderWise, but I would definitely recommend maybe getting rough scripts for your videos. Your content can be hard to follow sometimes, as they jump all over the place a lot. That said, you have made great strides in that department over time, and your videos just keep getting better and better. Keep it up!

I sure do love when the AI on my plane is completely refusing to do either bombing runs or aerial bombing, and instead it just flies in circles while trying to get to a point, despite being set into combat mode. It's the only aircraft that has ever had this issue, and it's the one I'm fairly proud of.

I imagine this was very needed to explain to the new players...

I've actually started to give up relying on ai driving and use a breadboard for alot of stuff.

Ah, excellent i was having issues programming my submarines to perform bombing runs(basically drive under a ship and release a bunch of magnetic mines, although now that i think about it maybe i'll make a flying fish style ship that jumps out of the water before shooting at things) Anyways, to clarify my issue, i was trying to use bombing run and it wasn't getting close enough, which is because the breakoff distance is the point where a bomber releases their munition and turns around(my sub needed to pass by real close so the magnets would lock onto the enemy target as they don't have thrusters), so if you have long range munitions(such as long range missiles) you can have your aircraft break away to avoid getting in range of the AA. The aerial bombing run is more traditional though in that it does a full flyby(which isn't done by most militaries now that i know of, as AA is really good now, and with the power of physics you can yeet a bomb over the horizon as opposed to flying through clouds of flak and CIWS fire) The flyby does have the advantage of getting a lot closer and sustaining speed(usually). You do need to set the abort point to a reasonable distance(with aerial bombing) or your ship may descend as opposed to flying by to get close enough to hit the trigger.

That awkward moment when you are watching a video early in the morning and begin dozing back to sleep because you're tired and BorderWise calls you out on it... 42:30

I normally use Aerial Bombing for my fighter aircraft and level bombers, the newer "bombing run" is used for Dive bombers (generally the point where the aircraft dives is very low and breakoff is even lower.) Most of my non-Frontsider Airships actually use Naval AI and GP PID where anything using stuff like point-maintain distance uses the AI PID. AI PID is used to stabilize aircraft, and are required for the Naval AI Airships to realize they are airships and not ships.

If i watch this will i figure out how to stop my boats from hitting land or my other ships?

Just the video I wanted. Hail Borderwise

Resource gathering can be forced to work with ships and even hovercraft, main thing you need are AIPIDs controlling... pretty much every axes of movement with a long look ahead time for speed control.

point at and maintain distance can also be used for rammer

I think the standard broadside doesn't have the "turn and run" issue only the naval behavior does

Have you tried messing with the response width to smooth out the vehicles movement?

What is the difference between circle at a distance and broadside?

we are ten ;D to one million ;D

Me 27 hours into the game: "So do I get to play or is this just a learning simulator?"

Someone should make a mod for a different version of the AI, like the old one.

I’ve just started and I’m having trouble getting my ships to behave normally when not in combat. Any ideas? Also the UI looked different now. Was there a big update? Because the spawning UI. And AI UI. Look different

Are you using a mod for the hud/menu layout or is this a previous version?

A comment for the algorithm 👍🏻

At 7:36 you mention the path display tool but not the hotkey for it. How do you bring it up?

Trying to Tame the AI on my own Craft is harder than Defeating the enemies I usually just do manual control. I don't understand ANYTHING about AI. Such as how to make an AI balance my Craft, etc, etc... I need help XD

If you click 'C' and select one of your vehicles, you acces directly to it's AI.

I watch your Videos, they are fine. But could you tune down the music? Or give your voice a little more dB in editing? Its for a non english Speaker a little difficult 👍

second!

space rammer...

Lol

First

Borderwise thank you and sorry. Thank you cause you have me hope in this game. I was unhappy since I was unable to make beautiful ships which worked. But you make ships which are basically corrugated metal/wooden tubes. So I am not far off. Sand sorry for calling your ships corrugated metal/wooden tubes
