A Guide to Octagons

By Meth & Feta Memes

Hello everyone
This is my first guide and I hope it's useful to anyone new to Reassembly or anyone who's been struggling as much as I have with the Plasma cannon sizing from the default faction.

Without further ado, I present an efficient and effective way of integrating any octagonal shape into square ships.

Special thanks to M_Gamelin for his help with the second method.
Special thanks to 13mars for the rename suggestion.

Octogons are not the bestagons

octogons are yucky

3x3 octagons use the smallest sqrt(2) shape but stacked 3 times.

im trying to fit the 2x2 and 3x3 octagons of the bismuth+ but i cant seem to fit them

sagral 6 Jul, 2020 @ 5:17pm

how do i do it with other (modded) factions?

i figured out the first method on my own, but the second method was something i never thought about... cool

Version one I figured out a while back from observing other people's designs. The big surprise for me was taking the rectangle from the palette then shrinking it to make it fit. I also found it useful to fill the spots where you have triangles with triangular point defense guns or a tiny thruster stacked on a small thruster attached to the side of the octagon. Version one also works better in the middle of a larger ship so that the block grid is maintained in all directions.

Version 1 works for me. You may have to resize the little half pieces for some octogon sizes.

Yeah, probably. Either I did something wrong or they changed the dimension of one or more pieces.

Soulsphere, this guide is very old and I haven't played in quite a while either, some things might've broken somewhere
