Will it be possible to manipulate voxels into other shapes like we do in Landmark or will DU be coming with its own voxel editor. In the picture of the Martian from The war of the worlds that my brother and I made in Landmark, we used basic shapes to make the majority of the Martian with heavy use of line tool and smoothing, however there were parts of it that needed fixing by manipulating voxels into certain shapes to fix areas that couldn't be fixed using the tools supplied, so use of voxel reactors and boards made within Landmark came in very handy, however not everyone can use this method of fixing problems as it can be time consuming to become proficient at this so if DU has an inbuilt voxel editor that would be amazing.

Welcome aboard!

Hi Ellegos,
 
About scripting, there will two options for players:
- If a player don't want to be bothered by this advanced aspect of construct customization, he will be able to use pre-made scripts.
- If a player feels motivated to make awesome new scripts then yes, he will have a wide array of possibilities using advanced Units, called DPU (Distributed Processing Unit). All in all we try to find a way to make the whole process more user-friendly without removing possibilities in scripting. But as you can imagine, this is quite challenging.
 
It's still a bit early to talk about it, but you can expect the next Blog Post (in a few weeks) to be on LUA script and the DPUs
 
@Saffi:
While we plan to do our best to give creativity freedom, this won't work exactly like "Turtles" in ComputerCraft (the aforementioned Minecraft Mod).
You will have scripts attached to "Units" (like the Computers, Monitors and Turtles in this mod), but the similarities stop there.
I apologize if one of my previous answer was ambiguous and generated confusion on the matter.
 
Best regards,
Nyzaltar.

As Comrademoco stated, technically, nothing will prevent you to build giant mechs
About the limits of ingame programming, I can just tell you for now that all the coding allowed will be in LUA and should limited to automatize some basic things (like elementary AIs for droids, autopilots for spaceships, automatized defense systems and such things). More on this matter will be revealed in the future

I think Nyzaltar is a warm and friendly presence. Some community managers try too hard. Nyzaltar is cool He relays information well and seems down-to-earth. He strikes me as approachable and that's super important to me.
 
Back to the topic at hand I was told about the game by Kiklix. Could barely believe what I was reading. This game sounds phenomenal to me. Right down from the quality of the art and blog information, the details and features. I'm hyped that's for sure.

Thank you for the introduction. I am sure in the days to come we will have suggestions or ideas that may help better flesh out the forums. Right now I think most of us are just excited to see them launch. This is the beginning of great things to come.
