Yeah, ACB controls are great in frontsiders and for other unusual weapons systems. You can even add a ‘safety’ to them using the breadboard so they can’t fire if they aren’t correctly alligned. My personal favourite is depth charge launchers where they can’t fire unless you have an enemy within range and below a certain altitude, or dive bombers that only release when aligned with the enemy craft.
From your commentary Borderwise, it sounds as though you tested it against some of your own craft... to less then satisfactory results (for your designer's ego).
To be fair I think the aesthetic for this is "Block-y Human Space Ship". Looks vaguely reminiscent of something you would see in Halo, BSG or the Expanse. If it was in space I wouldn't think it was weird at all, just the fact that it's an atmospheric craft is what is uncanny.
Breadboard translation to english: If enemy is present: - Point at it (yaw and pitch(not over 15°)) - Go 3km away from it - Switch between 300 and 350m altitude every 5 seconds - Dont roll if no enemy is present: - Dont yaw, roll pitch and move at 300m altitude The only intersting thing in this otherwise pretty simple breadboard is the calculation of the target pitch (Atan2((b-c)/a)) based on the distance(a) and height difference(b-c) to the enemy. This is basically a dumbed down version of the point at and maintain distance AI routine (which would be better because it has evasion built in). It looks very similar to my first shots at a breadboard AI. Just try understanding it. If your head hurts, take a break, if you look at it again, it will look a lot clearer, read the documentation if not. The hardest part to understand in this breadboard are probably the if(a,b,c) blocks. You can read them like this: If a does not equal 0, then output b, else output c. a can be just a number or an evaluation, like a==2, whis is only nonzero, when a is 2. You wont understand breadboards by complaining that you dont understand them. Another thing: The japanese stuff in the LUA code is comments. Just some documentation on the code, not related to LUA at all. Its marked like this --This is a comment.

So basically… the great filter is sentient? It controls itself and doesn’t follow commands That’s pretty cool Edit: this is the part i’m talking about 2:35
The Japanese bits of the LUA are notes. I agree that breadboard and LUA without any main AI running it is weird but that is mostly because i cannot fathom how many hours/days the creator took fine tuning it to get it functional. I loved the ACBs that were capable of changing the PAC type and charge time... i am gonna need to borrow that for my own PACs.
21:29 those partical cannons are doing a lot look at the last second before it cuts it looks like the entire inside of the meg just fell out the bottom
I haven't seen any1 else commenting this but IIRC it uses lua for three things. 1 is missile guidance, 2 is laser smoke defence and 3 is aiming and shooting the PACs.
The guns might not be HE but, as someone who specialises in APS I will tell you right now: NEVER underestimate the explosive power of gunpowder. Use ejector, and thank me later.
I use a similar automation system for melee weapons, once an enemy is within the danger zone it swings the thingy or whatever. Using it for ranged weapons is cool too I guess
The "Great Filter" refers to a concept in cosmology, which tries to explain why we seem to be the only sentient being around. Basically, it supposes that there is one or more "great filter" events on the path to any lifeform becoming spacefaring, after which life gains the ability to escape the vast majority of potential calamities. These filters can be simply the rareness of a specific set of environment for life to evolve; recurring mass-extinction events like asteroid impacts; or even technology, if techonology leads to a global catastrophy like nuclear destruction. Of course, the great filter is not a certainty -- the universe may be filled with aliens, we've just not found them yet. But if no alien were ever able to pass the great filter, we need to then ask: Are we the 1 in a few trillion to be lucky enough to have already passed the filter? Or is the filter ahead of us? In the context of a great filter being possibly a mass extiction event, of course it's there to deal with the Megalodon :D.
PAC fire is very simple to do on a point at ship. It basically is already aimed If enemy in range [X,Y] fire weapons named "PAC". optional conditions to check angle too (enemy at angle from forward axis.) easy
I think the missiles are staggered so slowly is because the craft doesnt have neough gppp to fire and guide them all at once. As each Huge missile needs 54 gppp to be guided and it looked like the craft did not have 400+ gppp laying around.
its lua guided not remote guided. Unless there is a cost built in to the lua guidance they don't need gppp EDIT: I stand corrected, LUA was rebalanced since I last looked at it
@@elgurkus6885 actually false, the gpp does effect Lua missiles as they will not guide properly if you have not enough gpp. I also wanted to cheese having no gpp, but found out that lua was re-balanced.
the Breadboard is basically Programming with a graphical interface kinda like Stormworks but not really also is the most easy level of magic you can get and is pretty straight forward the logic behind it, so i recommend you to try it because is so satisfying once you can actually use it
I downloaded this a couple weeks ago. This is about as meta as it gets and is quite a beast. However, since there is absolutely nothing you can do about lua missiles other than destroying them, they are pretty cheaty, plus some heavy repair cheese drops it a couple points. I do like some of the decorative items. It reminds me a bit of the Doomsday device in the old Star Trek.
About the materials not running out I'm pretty sure that's just a bug with the display. I've noticed when I have craft with well over a million mats of storage it often does not display materials being used until there has been a significant reduction.
If you are interested, I could put together something that doesn't use any LWCs, just Breadboards and ACBs. Of course there would be notes on what's doing what so that you could better understand it. Then you could poke at it and try to figure out this sorcery. Or just copy it onto your own stuff and try to get it working.

Breadboards are easy if you already know how to program, as that block style is for beginner programming languages. The problem is that you need to already know how to program and at that point you might as well use LUA, as it is much more flexible and readable for more complex programs. However if you do not know how to program, they are almost impossible. Therefore to learn breadboards I would recommend using something like scratch or python to learn to code and then extrapolate your knowledge to them.
Ah... I had a lot more respect for the Filter until I realised it was using repair cheese as well... that’s generally where I draw the line these days. Repair cheese is just a tad too easy. Edit. I do really like the engine setup though. Closed loop drives seem like an interesting option given that I’m building an airship for a tourney at the moment.
@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 Repair bots are fine in moderation on campaign craft, as you want some repair capacity on any of your ships so they can patch up the damage whenever possible. That said, having enough of them that you can employ ablative armour like this simply isn't fair on anyone, and can make a solid well designed craft into an impossible to kill juggernaut far too easily.
'Deacon's hell' is a swear I got from a game called Ground Control 2. A deacon is a church official, so it's basically saying 'bad day at the church.' XD
Not the biggest punch, not by a long shot, the guns on these are optimised for long range fire, i remember lathrix made a very short range one that was bigger, i think it 2 shot a megalodon
For the LUA script everything behind the double minus is just a comment so there is no japanese in the important part aka the code The code is perfectly readable if you understand lua or programming/scripting at all a bit The comments have no influence on the code they just explain what is happening to the user, however they are not crucial for reading source code
A great filter is a term from exobiology. It is an explanation of why we dont see alien civilizations. Basically it says that all life has to overcome big hurdles like creating self replicating DNA or nuclear annialation. The name implies that this ship is one of the big hurdles. Kurzgezagd made a nice video about this
ah yes, the "run-away to 3 billion kilometers and plink away W/ hitscan instead of interact" craft.... all building games have these types of crafts and they are all so lame.
"The foreign characters are important". Those be comments which do absolutely nothing besides tell you what the code does. You really should try using some breadboard for PID's and bouncing in addition to an AI. Also the reason for the PAC's appears to be that if it fires straight you only need a single hole to make it more armored as pointed out. To get them to reliably do that ACB's are best as firing restrictions can be finicky and rely on aim-point.
@@BorderWise12 im sure if you asked one of your subscribers or a member of the community they would help you, its always nice to have someone explain and assist you live
@@BorderWise12 The rotational inputs appear to be reversed so see if adding a "-a" before connecting to a PID helps. I could also be totally wrong. Turn off the AI for things you want to control personally with breadboard as well.
That japanese text is not executed it is called comments in programing that is used to describe a code for someone else who reads it understand it better, and by the way, Lua is not that hard to learn I did it by myself cause I was bored, and wanted to learn something new, I only had experience with html, css, javascript, jquery and php, so essentially just internet programing languages, now I know Lua and trying to learn java and node, once you learn one language, the basics are the same across, you just have to learn the new syntax.
'I only had experience with html, css, javascript, jquery and php'... So you already knew multiple programming languages... so that enabled you to learn LUA easily? I love you, but... XD
@@BorderWise12 yeah but software programing is different than internet programing, and I learned the other languages by myself mostly my teachers did nothing to teach me decently, so I guess if you have the interest for the subject and the time for it, you can learn whatever you want. Btw yeah, if you don't get it programing is wizardry but when you learn one, it is like second nature.
@@rhazien2502 Fair enough, but I'm a darn history major. Programming might as well be moonspeak to me, yet I keep getting people saying 'It's easy, you're just not trying hard enough'. XD

Breadboard translation to english:
If enemy is present:
- Point at it (yaw and pitch(not over 15°))
- Go 3km away from it
- Switch between 300 and 350m altitude every 5 seconds
- Dont roll
if no enemy is present:
- Dont yaw, roll pitch and move at 300m altitude
The only intersting thing in this otherwise pretty simple breadboard is the calculation of the target pitch (Atan2((b-c)/a)) based on the distance(a) and height difference(b-c) to the enemy.
This is basically a dumbed down version of the point at and maintain distance AI routine (which would be better because it has evasion built in). It looks very similar to my first shots at a breadboard AI.

Ah... I had a lot more respect for the Filter until I realised it was using repair cheese as well... that’s generally where I draw the line these days. Repair cheese is just a tad too easy.
Edit. I do really like the engine setup though. Closed loop drives seem like an interesting option given that I’m building an airship for a tourney at the moment.
What’s the repair cheese?
The mountain of repair bots that repairs damage faster than it gets inflicted. XD
@@BorderWise12 oooh... I may be guilty of that myself...
@@whwhwhhwhhhwhdldkjdsnsjsks6544 Repair bots are fine in moderation on campaign craft, as you want some repair capacity on any of your ships so they can patch up the damage whenever possible.
That said, having enough of them that you can employ ablative armour like this simply isn't fair on anyone, and can make a solid well designed craft into an impossible to kill juggernaut far too easily.
@@IainDoherty51 yeah, I don’t usually have too many, but honestly idk how many I have compared to others. My smallest craft (
reminds me of Halo UNSC and EvE Online Caldari ships haha
One of these days il find the context behind "deakons bloody hell"
'Deacon's hell' is a swear I got from a game called Ground Control 2.
A deacon is a church official, so it's basically saying 'bad day at the church.' XD
The symbol on the helipad is used to represent diodes in electrical/electronical schematics. Kinda fitting given the name of the craft.
this is epic AF
Weapons do not necessarily need a LWC to fire
*this is great info to have*
I've used this for automated decoy launchers.
I think that the landing pad is a symbol for a great filter in electronics
Is this the least stealthy ship shape ever to have the word "stealth" written on it?
the worst part about the breadboard is the controlls, once you get over that you only need a degree in electrical engineering to set up someting.
I was expecting the front to be the biggest bloody gun I've ever seen. It's got two of them in there.
Not the biggest punch, not by a long shot, the guns on these are optimised for long range fire, i remember lathrix made a very short range one that was bigger, i think it 2 shot a megalodon
Someone should count how many times he says "how does it fire??"
Also it should be called "The automated megalodon killer"
so... you can recognise Katakana characters.... video like :P
and yes, it's sena
Hoooooooooooly sh/&t that lua... can't read kanji :'(
Me: Someone who reverse engineers market algorithms as a job: Yeah that looks simple enough
Its called "The great filter", because if you beat it, it means that you are worthy
... I never thought of that. XD
For the LUA script everything behind the double minus is just a comment so there is no japanese in the important part aka the code
The code is perfectly readable if you understand lua or programming/scripting at all a bit
The comments have no influence on the code they just explain what is happening to the user, however they are not crucial for reading source code
It reminds me of the gunner robots androids have in Nier Automata
Looks reminds me of Babylon 5 human spaceships designs..
Looks like a ship from The Expanse
where would I even start to learn lua?
youtube, as lua isn't an ftd exclusive language, it's a general coding language
The Great filter, because it turns it's enemy's into sieves.
A great filter is a term from exobiology. It is an explanation of why we dont see alien civilizations. Basically it says that all life has to overcome big hurdles like creating self replicating DNA or nuclear annialation. The name implies that this ship is one of the big hurdles. Kurzgezagd made a nice video about this
love unsc bricks ships
it may be a brick, but its a sexy brick
ah yes, the "run-away to 3 billion kilometers and plink away W/ hitscan instead of interact" craft.... all building games have these types of crafts and they are all so lame.
You should review the More Simple Weapons mod
That's on the table to be reviews, yes.
if not repairbot spamming the the megalodon would win, nice looks tho
Why is jotunn in FTD
All the smart comments are taken. ;-;
I should redo my swarm gunship.
I have never seen a breadboard before watching this video, but it looks like three PIDs and a slightly more complicated ai card to me.
according to the first second of the video, I think this will be swallowing a ship
Please take a look at the ships of Legends of the Galactic Heroes ships. I can’t be the only person to see the similarities.
It looks like a catfish
I love the way it looks
"The foreign characters are important". Those be comments which do absolutely nothing besides tell you what the code does. You really should try using some breadboard for PID's and bouncing in addition to an AI. Also the reason for the PAC's appears to be that if it fires straight you only need a single hole to make it more armored as pointed out. To get them to reliably do that ACB's are best as firing restrictions can be finicky and rely on aim-point.
I HAVE tried using breadboards. It gives me near-fatal headaches. XD
But yeah, I will keep trying them.
@@BorderWise12 im sure if you asked one of your subscribers or a member of the community they would help you, its always nice to have someone explain and assist you live
@@BorderWise12 The rotational inputs appear to be reversed so see if adding a "-a" before connecting to a PID helps. I could also be totally wrong. Turn off the AI for things you want to control personally with breadboard as well.
@@richien.4915 That is actually my plan for the next stream: two hours of me trying to learn the Breadboard while the chat facepalms at me. XD
@@BorderWise12 lmao
Looks amazing but I would not want to see the aerodynamic profile
This is a brick of Muenster cheese, the stinkiest cheese on the planet.
Can we 40k this
That japanese text is not executed it is called comments in programing that is used to describe a code for someone else who reads it understand it better, and by the way, Lua is not that hard to learn I did it by myself cause I was bored, and wanted to learn something new, I only had experience with html, css, javascript, jquery and php, so essentially just internet programing languages, now I know Lua and trying to learn java and node, once you learn one language, the basics are the same across, you just have to learn the new syntax.
'I only had experience with html, css, javascript, jquery and php'...
So you already knew multiple programming languages... so that enabled you to learn LUA easily?
I love you, but... XD
@@BorderWise12 yeah but software programing is different than internet programing, and I learned the other languages by myself mostly my teachers did nothing to teach me decently, so I guess if you have the interest for the subject and the time for it, you can learn whatever you want.
Btw yeah, if you don't get it programing is wizardry but when you learn one, it is like second nature.
@@rhazien2502 Fair enough, but I'm a darn history major. Programming might as well be moonspeak to me, yet I keep getting people saying 'It's easy, you're just not trying hard enough'. XD
@@BorderWise12 hahaha, well it really is when you learn the basics, but if you try to teach me about history, well than I am screwed, I only know stuff about WW 1 and 2 cause I a tank nerd and like weapons, no matter where they are mounted on a tank ship plane whatever, military engineering is some of the best there is, to learn how to program you just have to be stubborn, you don't need teachers, just be stubborn and keep trying lol, at least we can all find common grounds with FTD
@@rhazien2502 Very true. 😁
listen to me 15min and you will understand breadboard.
Alright, go for it. 🤔
@@BorderWise12 This would require some kind of voice chat... and I have to prepare some kind of educational concept first... build some examples to guide you along the way.
@@BorderWise12 I could also upload a tutorial on RUclips xD... but learning always works better, if you have a real time responding lexicon aka HelyusHD on your side... you tell me what you prefer. And if we are already at it, I might also have some words about the shape of your ships ^^ . I really like your channel. I am a big fan, so no offense xD. This game is not about perfection, it is about explosions!!!
@@helyushd6943 Do the tutorial first. I'm going to be livestreaming bread science at some point, so that's a golden opportunity for you to yell at me from chat.
@@BorderWise12 I will try to be there
