Space Engineers - Automated Clang Drive w/Event Controller

[@Horesmi]

Given that a single threshold costs 20 PCU, you can set up multiple? Like, 25, 50, 75, 100 percent power? Six axis control system would cost 480 PCU, a fraction of the clang drive cost. In any case, this is revolutionary.

I don't understand why you used a second event controller to turn it off, the second slot in the toolbar is what activates when the condition is not met, additionally, the event controller has multiple toolbars which can be used to activate multiple things at once.

I will definitely be implementing this, thanks for streamlining a complex mechanism!

When you Captain say Clang 5 you now wahts happen..

[@EngiRedbeard]

Thrusters are 0% or 100% when you press WASD keys, so not sure where 49.5% comes from...

[@RhynoSpartan]

I thought that was the case as well. I realized that the thrusters didn’t behave this way when I used an Ion Thruster on Earth-like (1.00g) and the override was somewhere around 50% even at full power. Because of this, the thruster wasn’t able to reach the threshold for the Event Controller. I am quite certain that the thrust override applies to the thruster’s potential power.

[@EngiRedbeard]

@@RhynoSpartan That is because ion thrusters max thrust decreases as atmospheric density increases. At "sea level" they bottom out at 20% of max. Has nothing to do with gravity. Atmospheric thrusters work in the opposite way. Hydrogen thrusters have no such mechanic.

Has anyone made a clang drive using small ship blocks or is it impossible?

[@RhynoSpartan]

It is possible to make one out of small grid blocks. While it took some time to create, I was able to find a way to make one. Here is the link to video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnraaaesfLmIbMk I show the smaller one at around the 2:50 mark.

@@RhynoSpartan cool thanks

Quality work pal!! Crush your competition with S M Z E U S!!!

[@boofstien2]

Do change still work? I can't seem to get any to function on my single player world even ones from the workshop. Is there a general setting that needs enabling?

[@RhynoSpartan]

It should still work. What kind of Clang Drive are you using?
