Concept for the fuse ranking: instead of ranking all combinations, rank all the fusible materials. It'll still be a big ontaking, but a lot of things can be categorized together - like most foods, all the enemy guts, all the wings and eyes, the emitters, the elemental fruits and chu jellies and gems, a lot of stuff can be collapsed into a singular grouping where the only difference in ranking would be efficiency.

I've seen this mentioned a lot and I tried it myself in various ways but kept running into an issue where after attaching them to some big wheels and then sticking four of them on a stone slab the wheels would quickly flex too far and break off of the cooking pot. I also tried replacing the stone slab with two stabilizers connecting each pair of wheels horizontally and a small wooden slab connecting the tops of the stabilizers vertically (not up and down but forward and backward, probably not describing this well but it was basically two sets of wheels with stabilizers sitting where the axle would be and a plank connecting the stabilizers together on top of which I put a steering stick) It sort of worked for a second but then the moment I'd go up an incline the wheels would snap off, seemingly due to the cooking pots having too much flex and moving the wheel too far away from where it was glued. Am I just doing it wrong or?

The hydrant is actually very powerful when combined with a shock emitter as it causes the electricity to spread out in every direction.

Something that makes the steering stick even more overpowered is the fact that it acts as a sort of gyroscope that can function with zero power whatsoever. So not only does it let you control wings and cars even without fans powering them, but this property is the entire reason the hoverbike functions in the first place. In any other game as well as in real life, two propellers generating lift would be off-balance and they'd immediately tilt and crash, you'd need at least three to avoid that and the only axis of control you'd have is the lift of each individual propeller, but with a single steering stick you don't have to worry about any of that and can tilt the craft in any direction while remaining in complete control. It's also unfortunate cause usually a balloon would be how you solve a problem like this, but because it was solved before any of us even realized it was a problem the balloon is kinda useless for flying

[@Darca1n]

The balloon's at least useful for whenever you need to ascend considerable distances, since you can get ascension until it runs out of time by gluing a bundle of firewood to it under the balloon and lighting that on fire. But yeah, the hoverbike, while great, kinda outclasses so much else in the game.

So, for a standard playthrough, I definitely agree with your shock emitter placement, but if you plan on making crazy machines for the heck of it, then there are several shrine devices that you can steal with the fuse power from shrines in order to do things completely impossible otherwise.

[@bluepomegranate]

I think the wing is slightly underrated. It’s simplistic, sure, but it’s a fantastic way to cover a lot of distance with ease, especially once you learn how to drop one and land on it in midair. On top of that, it has some hidden utility too: when fused to a shield, it increases the height of you shield jump enough for you to enter bullet time from flat ground. I always make sure to have a few on hand.

[@DankDwarf]

place it under your hovercrafttttt the glider only counts fly time when its actually gliding, not while its being carried by fans. so effectivley triples the range and you dont gotta land it to recharge, just hop off ur steering stick and glide a bit while ur battery recharges. much more reliable than wing drops in midair

[@amirgarcia547]

My favorite Zonai device is having three springs glued together, since it not only launches Link high af, essentially replacing Revali’s Gale, but is a godsend for allowing you to reach Gleeoks once they take to the skies. And it’s specifically three since any more than that makes it a bit unwieldy to use, but the bouncing trio is just right.👌🏽Plus, it only costs 9 Zonaite to use if you have no springs, which practically costs nothing if you’ve explored the depths a decent amount.

[@hankpeterschmidt8626]

Rocket shields are essential for Gleeok fights as well.

[@lenlordofknowledge]

Honestly, I had way more use for the hover stones than I thought I would. Attach an item you need to transport to one, lift it as high as you can with Ultrahand, and then leave it as you climb up to where you need to go before looking down and pulling the hover stone up to where you are and detaching the item. I cheesed the entirety of the Construct Factory with them since I can somehow think of a more complicated workaround than the obvious solution that I just can’t see in the moment but is really obvious when I watch others play the game. Moral of the story, I’m bad at puzzles but good at bullshitting!

Something you overlooked about shock emitters is that it can be used to power electric motors (like the ones in shrine), which can spin very fast and have a lot of uses, like using shrine propelers to fly instead of Zonai fans which cost more battery power. Otherwise, I agree with everything

[@tuseroni6085]

the fan actually costs less than the shock emitter, where the shock emitter-electric motor combo wins out is in lifting capacity/charge and the fact that you can make an infinite flier.

[@octapusxft]

The hover platform deserves credit for solving almost all of Addison's sign support puzzles

[@Repliforce]

Sleds are somewhat underrated. You only need a control stick and a fan with one to make a fast boat and surprisingly stable boat, and sticking 4 small Zonai wheels to one makes a very compact and quick way to cover ground. Combining these ideas (while using a second fan) can even create an amphibious car that’s also better at going up hills as an added bonus. The amphibious design was my go-to method of transport, and the best part is sticking a construct head with a few lasers to the top of the first fan gives it a turret that will never hit you while you’re driving.

[@thesurvivorssanctuary6561]

two bits; 1, The small wheels actually climb BETTER than the big wheels, but you gotta put the fore wheels on at a 45 degree angle. I made an ATV tri-motorcycle using this method. It's as fast, and climbs about as well, as the Mastercycle. 2, Big Wheels are FASTER than small wheels. You have to use MORE wheels, but if you attach a big wheel to a big wheel( and you put it in an uneven position(to where both can still spin in the same direction); then when the first wheel smashes the second wheel into the ground it launches you partially into the air at the speed of both wheels combined, and that is a STACKABLE bonus to your speed. Though, the more big wheels you use to make a jumping vehicle, the more difficult to control the vehicle will get. IT's the opposite with the small wheels though.

[@enlongjones2394]

Another use for the portable pot: building material. Seriously. The pot’s two halves are connected by a sort of springy joint. If you glue the base to one object, and the pot part to another, it acts like a ball and socket joint, or a really loose springy joint. It has some applications in tjinfs like making a vehicle where some of the wheels have a more flexible turning radius

7:21 you can actually use Portable Pots to add suspension to big wheels, making them far better at travelling on rough surfaces or steep slopes

Not sure if anyone else has said, but the real usefulness of the sled is putting it on a the bottom of a glider to help it be able to reach take off speed anywhere.

[@Nickk7878-v8t]

Can you do a top 20 or 15 fusions list? And not just the most powerful, but also what is common and can be accessed a little early.

[@HackerDragon9999]

1:18 Shock emitters and hydrants basically require each other to be useful, since a hydrant can be used to amplify a shock emitter's range beyond dogsh*t.

[@sfogliatelle278]

You can attach the hovering stone to an arrow and it will trigger shortly after being shot. It’s a life saver in the sky when you run out of stamina

[@pharynx007]

apparently cooking pot arrows will also almost one shot the armor off most enemies in the game.

[@jonathangill6584]

I can’t believe you skipped the single most important use for the cooking pot. It instantly recharges your battery to full. Say you’re in an aircraft and your battery is about to run out. If you’ve attached a cooking pot, cook anything and bam full recharge instantly. Also, they’re convenient when the blood moon happens and you’re nowhere near a village. Easy way to get that blood moon cooking boost.

[@durpanda123]

Not having the sled being this low already, no way. The sled is the best thing for getting around the entire desert and makes amazing shield surfing.

[@someone4650]

Btw, while you cook with a pot, time stops for the purposes of movement but NOT for the purpose of battery regeneration, which means if you’re say flying on a wing and almost out of battery, you can drop down a pot, cook a meal, and you’ll have full battery after.

[@Tenbed]

While you're not likely to encounter this during normal use, the fans do have a limited duration. I used my flying device to get around long distances during a certain quest and they disappeared. They can take you across hyrule a couple of times before going away, but they will eventually disappear. The ease of making flying devices and the abundance of the fans makes this ultimately a non issue.

[@boggle4763]

Everything except wings and rockets disappear after 30 minutes

[@An_Entire_Lime]

Except when Mineru is using it, then it deletes itself after 1 minute

[@sidiwvwhi]

what quest did you need that for?

[@lor8262]

Attach a hover stone to an arrow.

[@TheJadeFist]

The float stones are super useful, you can use them to climb, you can use them hold up your monster truck or mech as you're building it, you can fire it from your arrows in mid air and land on it, and early game you can even use them to float on water if you need a boat.

[@Vatiaure]

As the no. 1 wings defender, i find it very useful that you can deploy them mid-air since they are way faster than gliding

[@milldew7210]

There is a shrine with a chargeable battery and a giant fan, you can copy those and use the shock device to power both, when you run out of energy the battery will kick in and power the fan

[@jesterblackguarde8464]

Hoverstones are perfect for arrow fusing.

[@zackcrack25]

Floating platforms can be shot downward with arrows while flying and it appears turned on after some distance. It's very useful for recharging stamina mid air.

[@johnrickard8512]

I have a construct that I designed specifically to deal with Mukterok that used a hydrant as its main weapon. It did a good job of keeping that brat from spawning in too much muck.

[@enlongjones2394]

Another great use for the Stake: making those Addison quests super easy. Get a stake into the floor, hook something onto or around the Hudson sign, and ask Addison to let go. The stake creates a basically immobile anchor point for your stability build, making it really hard for the build to fall over once it’s in place.

[@twinzzlers]

No need to do that, I always just put a plank on a bigger plank and use that to prop them out

[@enlongjones2394]

@@twinzzlers yeah, but using a stakr means your planks are totally immobile.

[@Darca1n]

@@enlongjones2394 You can also slap one of those hovering zonai platform devices under the sign to prop it up that way.

[@FIamestalker]

I think you're still underrating the Portable Pot here, yes its main purpose is emergency food cooking but people found some other ways to use it on top of that. It can be used as a flexible joint for attaching other vehicle parts to, and ofcource there's the already infamous battery recovery exploit/trick people have been using by cooking mid-flight to recharge depleted batteries while the cooking animation plays.

[@sverremorka9273]

Tip (Which I got from another video): if you attach the hover stone to an arrow while gliding, and fire it down, it will stop in a close distance activated. Giving you time to recover stamina and observe your surroundings.

[@gadget2622]

Small wheels are hella underrated, extremely fast and energy efficient for the early game, and with the correct suspension a small wheeled vehicle can tackle a lot of terrain.

[@Alfar-2908-1]

The cart is actually pretty useful, not only can you ride it but. You can also use it on the bottom of a wing to make any ground a runway making takeoffs much easier.

3:10 the best way to use Time bombs is from jumping down(or rocketing up and free-falling) and releasing them in 2 groups of 10 while in the air. aka Carpet Bomb

The best part about the Spring is the fact that you can stack a few on top of each other and send yourself even higher. Theres a cool shrine you have to do it in
