this time: the Multicopter, but plagued by control problems, still








last episodes tank-dropping airmobile unit was slightly more successful

Pretty impressive DrZebra but I don't think I'll ever be able to watch any Besiege videos again without seeing Coot's mobile cannon in the back of my mind biggrin

lol, I love this game.

You need holders for those bombs. And then you drop them. Like so:





Those big props have too much torque I have found. But thanks to your videos I just realized what the settings are for. Maybe I can have counterrotating props?

the props only work right hand turns.. so no counterrotating props, but as the next best thing, I try to generate counter torque with spinning dead weights.. which has some effect, but still not the desired controlability.. So in this next episode, I try to have a general look at torque and experiment with basic strategies of dealing with unbalanced forces..




also: cruise missles!

it is so awesome what people invent.. this one is genius, with really having blade pitch and all that:


this guy is awesome:



and a flying battleship, complete with canons... sandbox games are amazing:

It really does look a lot of fun for a very small price.It's a pity I'm not very creative (I struggled with KSP) or I would purchase it.

well some peole are really "genius" like creative in the game, but those generally build for the buildin´s sake. Thats what really amazes me about sandbox games.

But what is nice, is that the difficulty is actually quite balanced and the riddles, with each level beeing a new one are really solveable with different approaches.. The more complex machines I built for fun did actually not help much in getting the levels done, there a brute force simple purpose build is often better... and you don´t need to be overly creative as the level-tasks really are straight forward: destroy xyz survive this and that...

here is for instance how dukley plays it, with a lot of completly different approaches.. and it is quite fun, that the levels are pretty doable for so many approaches, from simple to complex...





and my broadside at the magical flak tower.. but still drunk flying

well, it is not so that many people wouldn´t go for tried&test home methods from real life without success:

this guy also has a noteworthy clearing of all levels via the same, simple catapult, to music from Karate Kid...

and for the more refined technical approaches to bloodshed, these are watchworthy, too:

another of my helicoptes.. using steering blocks for prop pitch control and wheels instead of spinning blocks for engines... you can actually fly controled that way, but the many buttons still have me confused..

(2keys for each engine + 2 keys for each pitch, = 20 keys to fly)

yeah, I might have gone a bit overboard there.. trying to keep flyin simple is hard, if you don´t want the puny flightblocks (those archimedes-screw type thingies) but real props.

what it is interesting is, that you can apparently use those circular saws to generate counter torque.. this vid by a crazy guy obsessed with fireballs has some interesting ideas of how to exploit this...
