I still didn't learn how to create supergrided blocks, without looking into files and blueprints on console.

This thing is more railgunny then the raillguns :O

you can do this now with space engineers 2

"You can accelerate them further using gravity generators and artifical mass blocks." Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!

so any time you have a large grid block connected to a small grid block the large grid blocks are gonna register as small grid? or is there ways to get large thruster or tool power on a small grid?

I'm having an issue where after the first launch, the button panel forgets the "Fire Missile" group, and I have to re-add it to the button every time there's a new missile welded up. Any idea to help fix this?

I added a basic task block to launch the missile from a safe 20k out, and a sensor to detonate when close to target. It uses ions to reach destination then switches on hydros when locked onto target 😆

Could you make a video on how to make one of these?

Hah! Okay, a few years late.. but someone either got real lucky and knew a little about hacking, or REALLY knew a lot about software. The double rotor thing is a bug where Space Engineers isn't iterating down the subgrid tree to detach children properly when limits (like distance from rotor to head). I'm guessing the game is assuming there's only one piston head (I'm assuming that's what it's assuming!), and thus only does boundary checking on the first one it finds (or maybe the linking structure only traces head to rotor, but not rotor back to all heads attached.. just the last one attached) I've run into a similar bug before, and had to add extra code to track extra errant children that shouldn't exist. Basically, always boundary check everything. If adding a head to a rotor, the game should check to see if the rotor already has a head, and if so, don't allow it Things like that. Maybe there's a reason they couldn't, hard to tell. So, they either knew this potential vulnerability of nested children in software and then tested to see if they left it open... or happened upon somehow linking a head with two pistons and then wondered what they could do with that. Or a bit of both. VERY clever.. thank you for the explanation. I'd never have figured that out.

IDK why this recommended now but what IF, WHAT IF. oh wait! Cant wait for SE2 %)

*humor* The age of capital ships is over! Long live Clang!! Note: you could use timer blocks and interchange to armor piercing. a 1/2 built drill does not take damage. Punch through armor and follow up with the boom booms!! Claaaannnnnnnggggg

*humor* The age of Captial ships is over long live Clang!!!

i love the blue and pink "anime" ship.

Personally i like to put rounded fans in front of the foreward thrusters and point them foreward for the braking.

Oh so you made this beaut, thanks

I love how space engineers has gone though the same progression as earth: - just go about your business - something horribly tragic and unexplainable happens - make religion (clang) - realize the thing is in fact explainable - make science (clang drives)

What’s the song?

I use a block called Attachment Plate. It's a large block that lets you build small blocks on it. This isn't a Klang Kaller either. It isn't buggy at all, it isn't like the small rotor head on a large rotor trick where it could wobble off. This seems buggy to me. Of course, I would like to put small blocks on big blocks but SE2 HAS IT BUILT IN. Thats fantastic news. Anyways thats my 2 cents.

wow, has it really been a year? 😅

What I'm looking for is how to make those hoops

So many hours into the game and I never managed to really make something I can be proud of. I really need to try out your workflow for myself. Good job as always.

This is how weapons in this game should be honestly - engineering challenges

And thus, the "Clang Conventions" was created and the number of "Clang weapons" in the world was drasticly reduced but few still threaten our world today

The blocks have the defence of french gouda cheese. Oof

I often design such things only for the purpose of remote mining. But, they are pretty useful and cheap when used as transport. The new update with the cockpit makes this design really work.

what if we had the welder hung upside down and place the missile projectors all around said welder, the said welder could probably easily weld 6-8 missiles at a time

I need help, wit ha small connector i use a rotor to charge it, however that rotor spins causing my ship to spin, how would i stop the rotor from spinning?

I'm just starting out trying to build my own ship, but I'm the other way around: trying to build a ship around a rotary artillery cannon (8 barrels firing consecutively as a rotor rotates).

Hey! i've been makming my own system based on this design, and you can make it muck more effective by placeing two warheads in a 3d diagonal to pack more punch without adding much volume

I tried to fire this in creative and it does nothing? I've figured out "trigger now doesn't activate the block, so does nothing. To fire it, you have to toggle block on

Lmao, im building a capital battleship, i am gonna use your tutorial to make a large grid missile with a refinery as the warhead (they are extremely durable and smash trough anything xd) Probably should even fill them up with stone for more chaos

Do you use some kind of shader or mod to make it look like borderlands? I mean the block edges and general textures. Its gorgeous

this is why keen is making their new engine have 1 unified grid system, with scaling on the blocks for building, everyone wants to have more options with building

So we made crossbows...

Tempted to try and make it launch boarding or cargo pods, just seems perfect for yeeting boarders across.

Brilliant.

One thing I've always struggled with when it comes to designing a ship was creating an interesting shape. I never considered trying to just make a silhouette I liked, then build it out into the third dimension. I'm going to have to try that soon.

How do you make your ships i a grey space

It appears that these are no longer viable to build. If there is too much tension, the heads rip off the pistons. If there is enough tension to propell the object > 110mps, most or all of the mechanism will be destroyed by the jolt.

All of the videos I see of these things do a great job of demonstration, but a really bad job of showing the details. The overall concept isn't that difficult to understand, but the construction and how the projectiles are set up, like placement and such is just skipped over.

YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE.

Does not work. I tried this and somehow managed to fling my PC across the house instead. :(

you can also use thrusters on hinges, rotors, and pistons you just need to set them up with either merge blocks or timer blocks, i sometimes use diagonal thrusters to fly up and both forward without the need of multiple extra thrusters

Ты гений!! Спасибо за идею

Это гениально!!👍 Надо попробовать сделать, можешь скинуть четёж со скриптом если не трудно

How did you made the missiles?!

The vrage3 unified grid system will make this a feature. Cool

I made a drill rover that used a bunch of sequential pistons (7, don’t do that) when fully entended the drill arm would yeet the entire fucking mining vehicle like a baseball, not really surprised someone managed to weaponize them

How to make it so it launches from a "silo" ? like at the start.

I LOVE the hardwood textures. Do you mind if I ask for the color codes for that color?
