Building A 2cm Beam System Turret! - Space Engineers

[@MyLPMaster001]

What I love about this mod is that the components are absolutely massive. You cannot just build a beam cannon into every ship, which is a nice way to balance it

[@m3nj051]

Unless you have a small grid mothership...

[@buzbom1]

13:32 Garden powered destruction. Make sure all your lasers are "Organic" in nature when killing your enemy. Think of the Earth(like planet) when waging war. "Now you know" Luv Jack's vids sooooo much. Makes my day ✌😎👍

[@Lobisomen79]

you don't need the loop and cancel loop anymore, the mod has a beam splitter to redirect the beam if you turn it on and set everything right, no need for pistons or remove blocks anymore. btw. how old is the vid? looks like you stil got the first version of the mod

[@doomdave475]

Lobisomen79 the newest, since he has the precision barrel

[@Lobisomen79]

Then why not use the other new blocks to split the beam and go for the complicated build with the piston setup and all that?

[@doomdave475]

‘cuz he’s special You haven’t been watching him for long enought to know that xD

[@lysercleblanc6655]

There is also a capacitor to maintain the beam over a longer period of time

[@Lobisomen79]

@@lysercleblanc6655 the Problem is you need about 4 of those for a 2 to 5-ish second burst and to charge one of those faster you need 4 beam generators. If you wanna build a ship with a system like that it would have to be roughly the size of the death star... 😆

[@Nadrojian1551]

what if you made multiple building loops which had pistons on timers to make a constantly fired gataling gun

[@victorfrankenstein8005]

Pls no

[@thejokestersquad3686]

*nerfing intensifies*

[@engelhaust]

solving problems, that's what engineering is all about, great demonstration!

[@simonpage3577]

Yo, you can use a beam splitter in place of the piston and combiner for a solid state laser weapon. When the splitter is off, it directs laser in the direction it's facing, when it's on, it splits thhe power according to its settings. So if you set it up to split it backward 100% and forward 0% it'll work as a normal combiner most of the time, but when turned on, it'll redirect the beam the opposite direction.

[@YEAHKINDA]

Yo you think you can give me a link to the PA generator?

[@danielhickey5361]

Another method of firing is to use the emitter set to custom ratios, when the emitter is on it will fire and when off the laser beam will charge up.

[@nomekop777]

You can make the beam go through passages. Whether that's by design, or if friendly grid damage is off, I don't know. And with friendly grid damage off, you can put the camera directly in the laser. You'll have to look away if you fire a charge, though

[@Nova_Astral]

Theres a beam splitter so you dont need a piston (dont use it to fire its worse damage than the long range emitter), and also a mod called Antimatter batteries that have very op batteries (as much as the particle acellerator)

[@Ribbons0121R121]

I really wish the beam splitter could be adjusted by things like timer blocks Would make firing much easier

[@homegnome9267]

I use a splitter on a 4 way loop. No moving parts. No gaps between. Look at the 5 squares to know when it's fully charged. I use a camera facing a combiner for that very purpose. Turn on the splitter to fire. Turn it back off to recharge.

[@homegnome9267]

Here's my setup. It uses 2 splitters. 1 for forward fire, and 1 to fire downward. It's a world file. steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1764004324

[@boo6767]

3:00 I honestly thought the piston setup was small grid.

[@tomchch]

[@Cyberguy42]

Same here

[@georgeoutters5657]

Good video, you definately deserve more subs!!

[@Kj-cp2el]

Could you please make a review/guide of the particle accelerator

[@JackRPG]

sure!

[@StonedRedneckMarine]

Thank you for that. I see comments mentioning that rotors and pistons aren't needed anymore, could you do a video on that please? And maybe one on setting up an automated turret. I nearly have it down but I need to learn more on the advanced stuff like how to increase slew rate so it will target closer faster moving ships and drones

[@KrakenIsMahB]

Now would be great time to review my ship Zealot ZL-2, which uses automated dual 2cm laser turret... though, it crossed my mind to make it mouse controlled, since the ship has two seats for pilot and operator of the systems, possibly laser gunner.

[@nightrous3026]

What if you made multiple loops that break automatically while the trigger is held so that the laser beam is a constant, solid damage source.

[@tridentpower6954]

Couldn't you have it loop with two for a super compact design?

[@tohpingtiang4878]

My laser beam work fine. It fires as soon as more than 1 capacitor i full. The ion beam seem to be broken or just mine. My ion fired once then does not charge up anymore but a tiny shiver of light beam that kept damaging stuff in front of it. I was fitting a laser and tried to test it while ship was in dock. I made a 1 block hole for i to fire thru but it destroyed at least 3 blocks around the laser and destroyed the dock and the landing tower. I just fit the last block below my cockpit so where I fly toward it will fire there.

[@nightrous3026]

What if you made a straight line of reflector blocks, and put a bunch of generators shooting into every block. Would that work or does the mod not work like that?

[@ArtFlexCie]

i like this mod , but i want the same just for transfer energy electrical for aliment many system

[@fastandnightfurious4279]

With the addition of these lasers we could finally make podracers with the purple beam going between the two engines

[@wispersr]

Does the be need to be unobstructed, like thru a tunnel

[@cyberstar251]

you could make a few levels of the generators so you can have multiple shots to fire before you need to recharge.

[@neddavies4358]

you can use the extra emitters at 100% and turn them off when they turn on the beam will fire

[@friedrichhayek4862]

The next mod involves deadly laser, and how test subjects react when locked in a chamber with deadly lasers.

[@Arcanidge]

This mod is still relevant and things have changed a lot. Maybe do a fresh take on this system given how easy it is to setup now

[@wyattk5723]

Blueprint for the cannon base?

[@Sacrid_Author]

11:56 - You say that you need a seat, and that it doesn't matter exactly which seat you use, but I'm afraid that's not 100% true as there is actually one exception: You can't use passenger seats.

[@universe9113]

is there a way to release the beam over a longer period of time?

[@angelmin8819]

Jack: Name your rotor Me: ... Dave.

[@williampenrod1322]

you can make a constant full power beam with a lot of beam generators

[@naomy1701]

wonder where the name "2cm Beam" is coming from tbh... is it ironic because the beam is half a meter in diameter and impossible to build a "small" setup with it? or because all blows up if one lense is aimed off more than 2 cm? >_

[@doomdave475]

The creator is called “2cm”

[@punkrat3305]

I've been waiting since leaked this video a few videos ago. :D

[@devils_advocat6637]

What if u put a 1 big beam think pointing in each hole so that would make 5 beams all pointing at on cube

[@blipzero]

can you make it auto charge ? / auto fire ?

[@marianrotaru6024]

I dont think anyone asked bu what will happen if you combine 2 beams from 2 loops with diferent colors?

[@Major_Viper]

What's your outro song?

[@elrondmcbong467]

I wouldn't say that this Mod is OP. First, it needs a fair amount of power. Second, especially with the Ion Cannon, you basicaly have to build the Ship around this Weapon System and its Power System, wich means, that every Hull penetration will lead to a power loss or even a total failure of the Weapon. Thirth, in the Mod Description is written, that this Mod is intended to be u.ed with Shield Mods, wich nerfs especially the Laser System but also the Ion Cannon needs to be much larxger to be still a one hitter, and that means, that the Gun didn't just get larger but also the chargxing time will be increased to a felt eternity. And the Fourth Reason, it didn't really work without rotors or pistons, wich mean, that our great Lord an Saviour Clang, can made our days😉

[@r.connor9280]

Laser grid door please?

[@Kidozy]

You don't need such a complex system just for a turret... The mod comes with a block for the ion beams that redirect it in a different direction than the combiner is facing

[@blipzero]

maybe a timer block ?

[@patricksmith9700]

Yes yes this has been very helpful for my evil moon castle. mwAhahahahahhahahahahaha

[@potatoking5602]

Yeah now you need some capacitors so it doesn't look like you are unable to pee each time you shoot

[@SpaceMonkeyBoi]

Put it upside down and attach pistons to the base and put it in the bottom of a ship and you'll have an orbital super cannon.

[@STSWB5SG1FAN]

I can imagine using a system like this to build a ship like the _Argo_ or the _Excalibur_ [ _Star Blazers_ and _B5:Crusade_ respectively].

[@victorfrankenstein8005]

I feel like multiple generators was supposed to be mounted with beam combiners to give a more powerful blast

[@hundwyn7530]

Should vaporize some fighters with it :D

[@randallvolk8437]

Did you know that if a ship has the ion system charging and it cloaks using one of those cloaking mods, the ship becomes invisible but the ion beams remain! May this could be something to take a look at in a video and see if there might be a use for this trick!

[@GP-vl8en]

You know they added a new block that you don’t need the piston system anymore

[@killman369547]

i can't seem to get the spitter to show up, does the new version of the mod also require a game update?

[@GP-vl8en]

Maybe , haven’t updated my game in a bit because of school

[@powder3955]

[@coffee4436]

Love ya vids!

[@dalonzodan]

i love this mod but its op as hell so i decided to not use it as when fully charged with capacitors and all it just go through defense shield that has 90 GW of power like nothing and deletes anything it aimed at for those who look for weapons powerful enough for defence shield with 60-100GW setting i recommend GTF the nova torpedo take half of the shield hp but reload 30 seconds tested with 60 GW (2x 30gw deuterium reactor mod) and thors with citadel take about 2 % per salvo

[@doomdave475]

Nero Drake but it takes a tremendous amount of uranium, we are talking about multiple dekagramms per second, and a long charge time, and a lot of materials needed to build it. Also since it isn’t MP compatible, you can only use it against MPCs. The biggest problem is that 2cm has stopped modding.

[@dalonzodan]

@@doomdave475 i didn't know about the MP support as even when is et my game public no one join and i wanst talking about deuterium reactor provided with the weapon mod but separate deuterium reactor from nukeguard steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1259182705&searchtext=deuterium also if you have energy-based weapons mod that is supported do around the same dmg i will gladly use it but my whole ship is designed around them to fit so not sure also add me to steam so we can talk my steam id code is 94238941 also here is a collection of all mods i use i could use some help with lowering it but all are so good steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1850055899

[@CaptainTyler148]

people see something to use as a weapon i see something to use as a force field for my hanger

[@BeanChili]

the barrel can be turned on and off making a piston or rotor to interrupt the beam unnecessary

[@Known_as_The_Ghost]

So the longer the loop, the more charge, and the longer it can fire? hmm

[@tritan67]

Would like 2CM beams to be properly supported in multiplayer.

Started building a ship, to make it effective you need a shitload of material and energy to build it at least a bit effextive. 4 capacitors, each need 4 beam generators to charge at a moderate speed and about half a dozen of the large vanilla reactors just to power the generators...
