h0yer Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 As the title says, is there any way to upscale an already 'finished' vehicle, like one can do with the procedurally generated ones one can buy in shipyards? I'm sure there's currently no ingame way to do it, but could I copy the xml and change some funky value, to scale up everything? If yes, where, when and how?

Tsunamik Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 1. select your whole ship except for founding block. 2. Press control+c 3. delete your whole ship (except for founding block!!) 4. press control+v 5. using the same controls for scaling basic blocks, scale your whole ship. When satisfied, insert your ship. 6. Disable safe mode 7. fill the hole in your ship where founding block was 8. remove original founding block. 9. ??? 10. Profit! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0yer Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 Wow, thanks for the quick reply, will try that out as soon as possible :) I didn't think of trying something like this inside the actual build mode. Cool stuff :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcowboy60 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Sooooooo is there a way when the founding block is buried deep inside your ship? Don't think I can not select it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunamik Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Hi, this should not be an issue. Thing is, that you need at least one block to remain after you delete rest of your ship(otherwise it will be destroyed and you will respawn at home sector) so start out by disabling safe mode, and select your whole ship, but leave out atleast one block. Otherwise it should work the same way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h0yer Posted February 7, 2017 Author Share Posted February 7, 2017 It worked just perfectly, thanks again :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullcowboy60 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Thanks Tsunamik, going to try it out tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigo Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 Or stick the new bigger ship to your old one. If both ships are "one" you can amputate the unwanted twin at any time. ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundercraft Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 A useful technique, to be sure. However, I wish the game had a built in scaling function that would allow us to scale by a specific amount, like x1.5, x2, x4, etc. The shortcoming of this method is that it seems very difficult to scale by a specific amount. I believe that a consequence of scaling by an arbitrary amount is that if we later decide to add more blocks to our design, the new blocks might not fit. That is, limitations of the available Scale Steps and Grid Sizes may mean that new blocks we place will tend to overlap, either preventing us from placing such blocks or forcing us to leave a gap or something.

Tsunamik Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 In build menu, look at top-right corner. There is selection called like "block template" or smthing, there you can change your material for scaling :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
