Making a Helicopter in Besiege

[@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.

"the advantage is that its just consistently bad instead of getting worse over time"

[@mute.gaming]

Man, Besiege is the most Steampunk game that's not Steampunk lmao.

[@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.

[@seanscott2502]

Awesome!

[@ryusuki9151]

This is what I was waiting for

[@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.

[@metalandsteel]

Idea: Make an airship/blimp in besiege

[@gavinblosser163]

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

[@maxthebucko9445]

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

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

[@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

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

[@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.

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

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

[@nachobusiness19]

Very cool, I’m very into engineering, I love making things from scratch. (Mainly in games) 🤫

[@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

[@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

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