Propulsion & Maneuverability - From the Depths: Martincitopants' Ultra Battleship Yamato Refit EP2

[@GMODISM]

Here is that first steam guide that's already out: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3406795381 Also if you know a lot you can also help out proofreading the future guides via our discord #army-of-gmodism you can enlist in discord (if you are a CO you have access automatically)

Good to see the good old Yamato getting it's 21st century retrofit!

[@GMODISM]

Indeed will be fun to see the finished result I think (hope)

[@Em3r4Id]

@@GMODISM I reckon it'll be more fun to test the final result against the in-built craft and our own creations, maybe even two of the fabled Gimle.

[@Electric_Bagpipes]

I managed to get it to break 165 m/s! …with nukes.

[@mysteryface6475]

Gota love the XXL yamato being upgraded

[@brody7714]

It’s actually 8x larger, because every dimension is 2x bigger (2x2x2)

[@revanati222]

You're correct that it's eight times the volume, but the vessel is about twice the size. Scale works on the dimensions of the vessel.

[@engineer84-w8x]

@@revanati222 Square cube law, if L, W, and H of a cube are doubled, surface area is multiplied by 4 and volume by 8.

[@Andreas-zm9tg]

Still twice the scale

[@PurpleShieldCat]

Considering kinetic penetrating weaponry and the use serial pistons instead of parallel ones for the main propulsion I believe you can just copy the setup you have on your big engine prefab and just use a 3 segment medium boiler rather than the large boilers and have two of the engine's piston inputs facing the back of the ship instead. BUT Looking at the sheer size of the ship, the built in engine redundancy you added, the need to keep stuff as small as possible to avoid vulnerability, and the importance of speed using serial pistons for efficiency may not be the best choice, specially considering the fact the weight is gonna skyrocket when the armor and weapons are reworked ... but then again increasing how much materials the main propulsion eats by an order of magnitude might not be the best idea Also, for making the turning rate just a bit better ... breadboard controlled yaw tilt for the main props ... because seeing a 500m+ long battleship drift it's turns is hilarious

[@silverlightsun]

hey *wink how does a yaw tilt work? id like to have my ships stop drifting. I know breadboard.

[@Ghostyusha]

would you add bulkheads to the yamato soon? the ship is basically one giant volume

[@Whatwillgowrong]

@@Ghostyusha the ship is designed to be flooded

[@raizors1331]

​@@Whatwillgowrong Well, it's still a good idea to have more stuff for bullets to get stuck on destroying. Though a giant air gap like the Yamato has works just as well so idk...

[@spicethief4826]

5 million coming at you fast. Lets hope it can turn decently quick now to get those broadsides lined up better.

[@MrJay_White]

what is really enticing about big yama, is that is makes it obvious the game is accessable without getting each little thing exactly 'so'. wanna put steam in a box? go for it. it wont work well, but it will still go.

[@williamryder781]

so when are you going to add the spinal partical cannon?

[@thenepal1084]

In 2199

[@gamesandspace]

Gotta go fast - yamato 2025

[@revanati222]

Yamato - Tokyo Drift

[@QuarantinedCheese]

Why must KZbin hide this from me for so long?

[@jasonschubert6828]

If you want some real speed you need to fit that Wave Motion Engine! 😄

[@revanati222]

Actually... that would be a nice project idea... a 500m hull length insta-kill cannon, just like the anime yamato 😅

[@xyzero1682]

Great work! Don't bother with the jet-engines, she's fast enough.

[@angelomatulac3764]

35:38 it may be possible to use the daisy chain method to get more thrust out of those props instead of using a steam engine

[@revanati222]

Well, I've learned something new today... what those huge propeller hangy things under big boats are called... Azipods. 😅

[@GMODISM]

See our steam guide dictionary if you need an extra education! 😂

[@lemon-i6p]

just finished cyberpunk edgerunners i feel like this is a switch up

[@GMODISM]

I hope so, let's make it fastaaa :)

[@lemon-i6p]

@@GMODISM heck yea

[@sirgaz8699]

I've been playing around with steam props and I think those steam props will lose thrust as they drain more energy from the crank. Did you remember to set the propulsion steam engines to provide 0 power and set their max RPM to whatever they settle at at full load so they don't waste materials when they're not at full load spinning the crank faster than it will be used?

[@GMODISM]

This is in the video (incase I did not edit that away by mistake) :)

[@sirgaz8699]

@@GMODISM I must have been on another tab or in FtD and listening to you in the background as you did turn power to 0 (didn't say anything but you did it) but left RPM at 100%, you can turn it down to 0.404 on a 3-piston series. It goes from 5.74 materials per second while idle to 2.54 and you won't lose any top speed as that's its RPM at full load.

[@tlad2750]

Was wondering is it a good idea also include rudder in the front? The same way you added forwards azipods

[@silverlightsun]

new planed versions of the yamato had a secondary ruder in front. ^^

[@devchary9087]

Hello, in your steam guide, the links in the "Hull Classification Symbols & Mission Type Symbols" section don't work.

[@bigchungus5224]

better use those AI-powered tools to declutter your home (yamato) because a minimalist lifestyle like this will be far more pleasant. However ive heard that Chat-gpt alternatives are pretty horrible so definetely stick to gpt-4 for creators.

[@GMODISM]

Hmm? What is this supposed to mean?
