Space Engineers WW2 Waterwars
Campaign Day 109.12
[BETA]
Gameplay tips:
During gameplay various tasks may be complicated or annoying. We found some tips that may be of practical use.
These are;
Spawn points:
- These are configured using GPS positions. You can configure your own spawn positions for land, air and sea.
- You can set the GPS of spawn points using the Custom Data field of the button panel used to spawn the unit.
- Set the GPS 5m or more above ground level and test to assure proper spawning and gridtype as it falls and lands on soil or water.
- Note there is no detection to avoid actual collisions to allow spawning at accurate positions.
Infantry:
- open your helmet and preserve your oxigen.
- turn off your radio to avoid beeing spotted.
- gear up using the nearby cargo box before going out.
Vessels:
- Gyro helps to stay stable. Most vessels have a PB to Trim. Toolbar 3 often has gyro/Trim control.
- If the Trim PB does not respond then assure it is set to your ownership, change to ownership to reset. Then recompile.
- Turn of your antenna to sneak passed enemies.
Planes:
- Dont bomb at night. It looks pie but any (new) AA will be hard to detect untill they fire.
Support/fortifications:
- Tents and other items are spawned a few meter above your character level.
If they are spawned to low they may spawn into the ground voxels.
So look downhill when spawning or get some alt before spawning.
- Sandbags, crates, tents and the medicaltent can be spawned everywhere. Use them for a rapid defence line.
- On capture of a city you can apply #mgbunkers for rapid fortifications. AI has control by default but the guns can be manually controlled as well.
- Starting the campaign with placing fortifications at a strategic city may be expensive in the first days but does give more assurance of proper defence against a quick capture by the enemy.
- Dont place all turrets in the open sky. Cover some up to withstand bombing raids.
Recovering units:
- If aiming at the cockpit and using #recover does not work then try sitting in the cockpit.
- Use a airplane carrier to return damagesplanes to #recover at a friendly beacon.
- You can #recover transport ships at the destination city as well as at HQ as long as within 3km range.
Economics
- Sell what you dont need, use the funds to buy into resources you need.
- To gain some extra resources scavage and #recover enemy units on land and at sea. Often attacked bases have broken units laying in the area.
- Play the market when you can. Resources of wich the world (all teams) dont have much of are worth more.
- Many basic materials are available around your base. Grind down any prefab that may be of use to defend your city.
Fires
- Work on the longest burning blocks first as they are about to explode or vaporise.
- When burning (yellow) blocks are repaired 100% come back to them repeatedly untill they are black.
- Mind hidden flamable blocks behind concrete walls. They can ignite other nearby flamables.
- When extinghuising fires in large structures grind down trouble zones to avoid re-ignition of fires.
- Do not rebuild untill the structure is free of fires.
