Making a Helicopter in Besiege

This was difficult to get working, but I'm glad that I managed to make it work completely with ropes!

When I hear "requires interesting solutions" from RC, I already know it would be some unholy game-breaking contraption. Two minutes later he breaks a log with unbreakable on. Thanks as always!

[@adamhakimi323]

Classic RC, finds ways to break structures in unbreakable mode.

[@FluffyFoxUwU]

doubt it isnt unbreakable at all its just break limit set to really high value and game breaking contraption generate over that limit lol

[@gheetza14]

That's not that special for Besiege.

[@TSquitz]

@@FluffyFoxUwU that seems likely to be it

[@BigMathis]

Very cool design. Ingenious really. I just want to add that your helicopter would have flown a lot better had you added a horizontal stabilizer to the tail.

[@blackoutlol2857]

Hey I used to watch your videos all the time and after all these years I can actually play besiege with the console release lol.

[@the1exnay]

I feel like it's worth noting that while ballasts are lighter and more durable, they aren't that much lighter. A minimum weight ballast is 0.2 while a single wood block is 0.3 and a double wood block or wooden pole are 0.5 (aka 0.25 per section) and a log (triple wood block) is 1.0 It's also worth noting the cost of using braces to support a ballast: each brace weighs 0.5 Using ballasts on flying machines is often a good idea as they're even lighter than wooden poles and unaffected by minor damage, but don't mistake them for feathers

[@wonderfridge7857]

I think a good challenge for you generally would be a walking machine, maybe it could be a series! Starting like a spider, then quadrupedal, then bipedal

You are literally the man who inspires me to make these things in real life, I love engineering and GOD do these ever look like some fun projects to try.

[@RealSickduck]

11:20 that is the entire point of the tail rotor, it opposes the rotational force of the main rotor by shoving air in the direction that the helicopter wants to spin

TFW using ballast, a material designed to weigh a lot, is lighter than wood, a material liked partly for its light weight

This is what I was waiting for

[@lilylyons8885]

Heck yeah a new video! KZbin didn't notify me for some reason which is pretty annoying :(

[@among-us-99999]

Can you make zero-mass force Neutralisation work? Zero-mass ballasts have zero rigidity connections and supposedly don’t transfer force at all, but can only be held in place with springs or winches. It can be used to lift extremely heavy payloads.

[@sssdrake]

This is rad! All this rope use and how kindve unreliable they are in terms of finesse im really hoping the game gets belts or chains for gears soon.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

It's actually much, much easier to do this using mechanical linkages and such. (although you do need scaling mods if you want something stable)

[@gavinblosser163]

so vikings in the mid-evil times could have had helicoptors... thats what i got from this video

[@cobalt4200]

Ideas : build 2 rotor or 2 rotor but stacked No tail needed

[@ReidCaptain]

I tried that for a while with the rope engines, but I think making a chinook powered by wheels instead would be way better

[@allhighonly7533]

@@ReidCaptain you could use a gyroscope, why not try that?

[@iR-80]

Could you try making a pulsejet in Besiege?

[@metalandsteel]

Idea: Make an airship/blimp in besiege

[@maxthebucko9445]

Basically the videos, ok so I made this super complicated mechanism, and then I scrapped it for a completely new one.

[@Fogolol]

instead of using other blocks to get higher values just get nobounds it's easier also easy scale so you can make your propellers longer instead of cramming more into the same place

[@JBizzle822]

There is a really helpful mod called no bounds mod allowing you to make any value on things like ropes to make the speed as much or as little as you want.

[@longdongsilver7902]

I absolutely love your videos! I just got besiege because I love watching you play it,, and I was curious if you use any mods in your videos (and if so what they are)

[@socialus5689]

I just realised that you sound kind of like Drew Gooden Hey guy!

[@Deglyph_]

Wouldn't it have been easier to make longer blades instead of adding more? It seems weird that the tailblades are longer than the main ones.

[@duythuchoang5095]

I know damm well it's going to be game exploiting when you're making a helicopter with ropes

[@FonMeller]

Lpr = Logs per rotation

[@Goldfish_Vender]

I could be wrong but I think you can use any value on any object(like a rope) if you click in the field and type your own value. Oh it looks like you figured that out.

[@ReidCaptain]

If you have NoBounds you can, otherwise there are hard limits. I just thought it was intresting that you can get a 10x spring without mods

[@Roaxial]

how did you stop the helicopter from spinning the opposite way of the propellers?

[@gilbertbeilschmidt4129]

Excuse me, *3 hours ago?*

[@mme.veronica735]

That's why helicopters have that back rotor on the tail. That is pushing back against that rotation

[@ReidCaptain]

The prop in the back pushes the other way

You can simply type in the box to increase speed of the rope you don't need to copy and paste unless you got a lot of ropes and are lazy

[@ReidCaptain]

You can only do it up to 2x speed, if you want 10x without mods you have to copy and paste

[@0rdnajela664]

Worth saying. Cannons on flyers work really poorly as cannons for obvious issues of recoil. But they work really well as light bombers. Setting them to minimum power with canonballs explode on means you can drop smaller more convenient explosives than grenades or the big bombs
