Decimating Besiege With my Over-Engineered Flamethrower

[@ReidCaptain]

Sorry for missing my Wednesday upload, I've been working on a big ksp video that I've teased many times. It is proving to be extremely difficult though, so I think I'll have to split it into two parts. Hope you enjoyed the video, and let me know what else you want to see!

[@maxboskeljon6440]

:0 More ksp???!!! Lets go!!

[@normalperson377]

A cool Besiege idea would be creating an attack helicopter, kinda like an Apache.

[@Capiosus]

see if you can make an engine powered by water (no specific game req, just whatever game has water you can use for power)

[@DragonMagic-yf8gi]

I like your videos about besiege here is another idea „Railgun“ yea it’s probably pretty hard but I would be awesome

[@baylorskinner9799]

LETS GO KSP

[@skelter-v1]

I’m always astonished what people can achieve in a (relatively) simple building game (evidence: the literal incendiary cannon you’ve built). Very impressive sieging! I also think I may have an idea of what you could build in a game - a springald. It’s a medieval siege weapon similar to a ballista but built in a rectangular frame and inward-swinging arms. It’s up to you which game to create something in though, I imagine making one in Poly Bridge would be a challenge.

[@nicholaspelz9422]

Would love to see you make a gun that reloads itself using the force from the ammunition in a similar way to an AK or AR

[@m4x_g4mer90]

You mean a gas piston it uses the pressure from the round and pulls and bolt back

[@Wagguns]

I don’t think there’s any way that’s possible with the limitations of this game

[@voidbringer101]

No

[@lcsvlone2811]

He did guys, look at his “fully automatic machine gun” video. It is actually nuts how he engineers a pin and loading mechanism

[@stefanoscintilla5225]

@@lcsvlone2811 No, he don't use the power of the bullet going off. He uses other sources

Reid Captain: "Today I'm building a flamethrower" Also Reid Captain: *proceeds to build a railgun*

[@maxboskeljon6440]

I love that you used the same propulsion as nerf guns haha. I took so many apart as a kid because i absolutely love engineering. Thats why i love your vids man! Keep it up! Well that and your humor of course.

[@ReidCaptain]

The flywheel shooter is so reliable and easy to feed, truly a great mechanism. And thanks!

[@coltrinculo703]

Literally my exact same reaction

[@coltrinculo703]

@@Tyrichyrich yes, i think for the launchers that is correct

[@Capiosus]

It's a standard design present in many speedy launchers in toys. (I have seen it in a snap circuit foam disc launcher)

[@Akotski-ys9rr]

That’s what I was thinking when he made it

[@samuraidoge7284]

Reid Captain when something is going fast enough or pushing hard enough: *”More”* *”More!”* *”MORE!”*

[@samuraidoge7284]

*isn’t

[@jzmc7562]

I absolutely love that you’re posting more often now!!

[@gremlinman9724]

the logs only caught on fire in slowmo because of the way that besiege (and most other games) simulate physics objects. if something is moving super fast, it only simulates where it would actually be once every frame. in this case, since it was moving so fast, frame 1 of movement was at the wheels, and frame 2 was past the flames, so there was no actual simulated frame wherein the logs were touching the flames. slowmo increases the amount of simulated frames, so even though it was moving so fast, there was still a time where the flames and the logs were touching.

[@AngelOfRepentance]

The reason it gets destroyed at 5:03 is because the third and fourth pairs of columns of wheels are not linked together at the top I think

[@baylorskinner9799]

Ur one of my favorite KZbinrs. You got a lot of original fun ideas. Keep up the good work man

[@JDizon849]

I live for your uploads. I legit just fell into lava in Minecraft and lost hours of gear and loot, but this video has calmed me. Thank you :)

[@KaneyoriHK]

Fun Fact: I believe it's shift, but when your selecting stuff, if you want to select multiples, like most programs, holding shift and clicking allows you to more precisely select stuff

[@ploof8233]

love your stuff! your besiege vids have really inspired me to try making stuff of my own!

[@naufal_su_bi_ng6936]

Glad to see you upload more than once per week!

[@theconductor2855]

Nice flamethrower! I'm trying to make a vehicle that can pick up sheep with the grabber, spin them around on the end of a rope, and launch them at a target - I'd love to see what you would make with that idea. Keep up the dope designs!

[@thesleepinggamer7225]

Hi Reid, Cool videos man, I really enjoy them

[@ReidCaptain]

Thanks!

[@Average_human2000]

I think it’s ironic to make a flamethrower using flamethrowers

[@Kramarth]

it would be amazing to see a traditional working musket in this game, and maybe a moving mechanism with a bayonet to stab! Amazing work as always

[@samuelsoetratma8408]

Glad you’re posting more!! Hope you don’t overwork yourself my friend!!

[@nathanhouse6962]

Your videos kept me from boredom on my road trip, keep up the good work!!!

[@ReidCaptain]

I'd get carsick watching videos in a car, but I'm glad you can watch it!

[@munk6576]

Eyyy you took my suggestion! Thanks so much

[@coryman125]

Have you thought about making a repeating bow/crossbow in this game? Maybe something like Joerg Sprave's 'Instant Legolas' design? I've been considering it for my next build, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Either way, these videos are always a lot of fun!

[@Gleb08]

Bro this isn’t how you are so posed to play the ga- wait a minute, this still is a right way to play… Amazing!

[@Cosmalus]

"pretty minor shaking" he says as the machine almost tips over

[@cbdragon1517]

And so Reid Captain quickly assembles a flamethrower, using nothing but some logs, some wheels, and a flamethrower.

[@nikkiofthevalley]

I mean, real flamethrowers do use a pilot light (don't know if that's the correct term) to ignite, so it is accurate.

[@thefactorean9168]

Its closer to a fire rock cannon, i feel

[@polindon]

Got my dinner ready, perfect timing

[@victorkim1807]

Less like a flamethrower and more like incendiary rounds

[@maximemajor2149]

I would really love to see you make a Mecha in Beseige possibly with some missile launching capability and retractable sword. Anyway loved the video! Keep up the regular upload! These makes my day!

[@Kaiimei]

A good way for ammo might be to 'shelve' the ammo on racks above the launcher, each with it's own piston. When you need a round you activate a button, and maybe using a logic system it would consecutively activate those pistons to push the next round into the chute down into the launcher itself.

[@11Denis11]

This might be hard, but you could try making a big walker with an artillery cannon (like a sniper) on it's back that can be used for long range demolition in besiege

[@fjnordthedwarf4004]

Getting the logs to catch fire took so long I thought we'd eventually end up at 'but that was still catching too inconsistently, so as you can see I constructed a small portal to hell...'

[@AniMesuro]

8:45 not sure exactly as I never programmed a physics game, but I would guess that in slow motion only the values are slowed, but using the same number of physics frames to simulate. ( Ex.: 60 pfps in 1x time, and 60pfps in 0.5x time. )

[@monetary_episode494]

In ClusterTruck, a game that has physics and time slowing down or whatever you want to call it, you can slowdown time then jump. This had a chance of sending you very far. I'm not sure what makes it like that. But it's physics are pretty similar to besiege.

[@The_Redstone_Robot]

Ah, using flamethrowers to make a flame gun, genius!

[@malksy1014]

hes right that slow mo makes a difference

[@peterstroops3533]

So for the flywheel system to prevent from braking as it was I would’ve put springs connecting the top, bottom and maybe middle to the sides. That should let you build get more wheels on

[@3geesestackedontopofeachother]

"I got this to fall right through with minor shaking" Funnel: At a 90 degree angle me: Bullshit

[@bunny6820]

Wait since every block takes a quarter of a second to catch on fire you could make a bomb with a fuse that you set on fire and drop the bomb

[@Redstone7380]

Cool vid idea, this is awesome

[@simondesmond3574]

new besiege video let's goooo

I just watched a 3 minute ad about a computer company and then the bloopers while making said ad.

[@doozy5184]

When you said flamethrower, I didn't think you meant you were literally throwing flames!

[@datbubby]

Frequent uploads :D

[@raytawanga6415]

I'm new to the game, and I see a lot more options in yours than mine (like the painting looking button on top and these selections at 7:33) even tho we have the same version. Are those something like unlockable after you beat some map or addons?

[@inin-id6bw]

this is so cursed i love it

[@inin-id6bw]

(speaking as someone who plays besiege too)

[@axessdenied4483]

Hey I noticed you changed the title. Loved the video tho

[@minerof8bits968]

This is how portal turrets work 80% more bullet per bullet

[@iamdestructoman]

trailmakers logic controlled automatic drone of some sort would be cool to see. no idea if it is possible.

[@duckosmods1520]

i really wonder how you come up with these ideas i can come up with what to have for lunch lol

[@dantesparda14175]

The first wooden flamethrower

[@fullofit4364]

I like your video.

[@k_rsy]

An HE cannon would be pretty cool

[@BeefIngot]

Perhaps diagonal flamethrowers would help. Longer range per thrower.

[@adamarney6229]

I’ve been missing the dream car builder videos

[@pasta-chan2984]

I'd love to see a manual bolt action rifle. It'd be cool if you would have to use the move tool to pull the bolt up and back with the bullet automatically loading in.

[@Browthpdd]

Day 18 of asking Reid Captain to try space engineers.

[@that_hoser_143]

Make a video explaining all of the linear mechanisms you use in poly bridge because. I cannot find explanations on them anywhere.

[@memeslife-wq2tx]

Make a single action revolver where you pull back the hammer with the drag tool and then pull the trigger with it as well

[@ErdemEralpp]

could you make a tank that have grabber tracks so it can climb any walls, i tried to make it but my brain just shutted down when i tried to automatically disable the grabbing just the correct time so it can climb smoothly

[@FlorianHenneman]

YESSSSSSSSSSS BESIEGEEEEEEEE

[@jeffjefferson5095]

6:58 Nice unmerged “caught” you got there. I’m from Washington where there is no difference between “caught” and “cot”. Where are you from?

[@marshmallowcardbord5984]

Can you make a boat with a working propeller like your engines for the high seas

[@alpacaofthemountain8760]

Amazing

[@munchyolly]

Reid, very little chance you'll see this but, look up stormworks, it's a pretty fun game in my opinion. If you could please, the game needs more KZbin videos about it, thanks in advance - munchyolly

[@query8265]

very cool vid i like the part where there was a flamethrower

[@c3cris2]

Love your videos, any plans on recording in 4k@60?

[@kayoVibrant]

I wonder if it's possible to make a plane from propellers and half pipes because they don't collide?

[@mumblety]

F L A M E T H R O W E R ! ! !

[@circuitgamer7759]

If I'm remembering correctly and braces don't have collision, could you have reinforced the wheels by using essentially 3 or 4 bar linkages from each wheel to a dedicated swivel joint mounted directly to the frame? Just a guess, but could be useful if it works.

[@unlisted_games2752]

imagine being one of the people in those villages or tents...

[@deffwy]

gun with interchangeable clips

[@cosmix_toast]

That ain’t a flame thrower that’s a fire chucker

[@Illogical.]

7:31 nooo. I play on xbox, where this feature is yet to be introduced.

[@Illogical.]

(this comment is about using flamethrowers efficienly in campaign mode, and is not relevant to the project in this video.) If you want to reduce the amount of fuel a flamethrower uses during the campaign, but don't want to sacrifice distance, you can hook it up to a clock, that activates it for 0.03 seconds, then deactivates it for 0.01-0.05 seconds. the timings may be wrong, but play with them a bit, and I'm sure they'll work fine.

[@7676tbrown]

Wait I just made a ton of connections between Reid captain and Nile red like they are both smart and they have similar color styles and they kinda sound the same

[@katastenu8216]

Have you tried playing brick rigs its similar to besiege but a little lessa laggy

[@ReidCaptain]

I've heard of it, I'll look into it more. Thanks for the suggestion!
