It's a much better use for them

That or as a roll cage, visually great, but the durability only lets the cage absorb 1, maybe 2 rolls.

love this type of format of your though process creating the walker. looks really cool

[@BlackArmor718]

I'm glad because it was a nightmare to edit

[@craftyshadower]

What an unexpected surprise! Watched the original a while back and fell in love with the sentinel-like design, wasn't expecting to see it walking around in space engineers

[@StootWorts]

1:21 this might be one of the most important tips I've ever heard about building/replicating things in SE. I never even considered using a specific point in a built to set the scale. I'll be sure to keep that in mind in the future. Otherwise, amazing build as always! I can't wait to give it a try!

[@BlackArmor718]

I guess I overlooked that aspect. It’s got to be a distinct part of the build and will be your limiting factor due to block sizes. Usually ends up being the cockpit

[@StootWorts]

@@BlackArmor718 That's usually what I use as my starting point too. I wish the game allowed for some smaller/more complicated shapes, but that's the nature of a block-based building game I suppose.

[@Bustermachine]

And here we see a majestic heard of mecha striding gracefully through their native habitat.

[@Coleo20]

I appreciate that you went through your process a bit in this one. I've always been too intimidated to build my own mechs, but maybe now I'll give it a shot.

[@BlackArmor718]

Thank you I'm glad it was enjoyable. It's a rewarding process when you finish

[@adenydd2932]

This is legitimately amazing, I hadn't even thought to make Boylei's mechs move

Like watching a baby deer learning to walk. Always wanted to see your build process. Brilliant

[@eiscingdeath2004]

@@BlackArmor718 Your attention to details and the way you are able to make it all come together on all your builds are simply incredible, another great job as always and I'm glad you showed some of the work that goes into making a decent walker.

[@BlackArmor718]

@@eiscingdeath2004 Thanks for the support Bruce!

[@mnkeymasta]

9:10 It's a shame the "Share Inertia" option limited the mouse control over the Canopy I wonder if you could add an addition "turret" stage - the bottom of which is inertia-locked to legs, and the top can freely rotate? Very well done! It was interesting to see the "falling over a few times" to "buggy global inertia sharing" to "walk tuning"!

[@BlackArmor718]

Nice to hear you enjoyed the process!

[@LegitMyth]

It would be interesting to see a similar walker actually sprint/gallop across the terrain.

[@BlackArmor718]

The game has a friction problem which makes good looking running hard

[@andreslastiri8979]

I can't believe I watch the right two niche KZbinrs in completely different areas to get where this video came from

[@BlackArmor718]

Good on ya!

[@ZorillaMyrid181]

It's mechs like these that make me wish Space Engineers supported holograms with subgrids in vanilla, this is one of those vehicles that'd be perfect to mass produce and use as transport across an ice lake or something, maybe modify the body with a collector, cargo container, and droppers and use it as an item transport. Amazing builds as always, maybe I'll try to mess with mechs myself after seeing the process

[@BlackArmor718]

I like the ideas, thanks Derpa

[@nicktechnubyte1184]

man i missed your content great to have you back and please stay safe

[@BlackArmor718]

Thanks Nick!

[@littlep0d087]

I love this kind of concept. There’s a server me and some lads are apart of, and in this server we use mechs and walkers inspired by you that we have built thanks to you roaming around attacking players and fully autonomous, because of this we get raids every few hours or so. We decided to build a spider mech from destiny as it was one of my favourite walker styles, we use this as our hunting mech, we go around finding pings of enemy mechs wait to get closer, eliminate target, go back to dropship and repeat till the servers clear for the day, we also use these on players bases aswell for a bit of fun and ofc they ignore it as they think we’re the small AI walkers. Love the builds, hope you’re doing well in deployment.

Dude, idk how you have the patience. This is absolutely beautiful

[@blarfnargdestroyerofworlds6710]

That is astounding! By the way, whilst I'm here I just want to thank you for making that mech building tutorial world, I found it superbly useful!

[@BlackArmor718]

I'm glad it was helpful to you!

[@ultmateragnarok8376]

I love that idea, those legs are indeed quite interesting to look at and seeing them move is just something else. Also especially nice to see the building process, and that even the best still end up realizing after building that maybe something with such spindly legs and a massive block for a top section will need a bit more to stand upright. I will say, this is why I prefer six-legged designs for practicality, but regardless a wider stance is always going to be borderline necessary for something so top heavy in such a way. It's so... oddly jittery, when nearing completion. Looks almost strained, but still worked - the final result is great. I also absolutely love the detail that the back platform shifts to the side to allow easier access when it's in that crouched stance - effective convenience like that is so good to see, and it's subtle yet noticeable all the same.

[@BlackArmor718]

Yes this is not the most efficient mech design in the slightest but it was very interesting to piece together. Also one of the more troublesome for making it learn to walk. Thanks for the comment as always Rag

[@nigelcalpe]

"what do you want?" "we are looking for someone" "well that's too bad cause there's are nobody out here" "hey uh does the number 7567 mean anything to you?"

So nice! Great detailing.. I'm also jealous of your casual use of symmetry on your creative server.. I end up just balancing everything manually by eye on my survival server!! :D

[@bobbyvandyke143]

I have spent maybe 200-300 hours making mechs and I've gotten 5 out of the 22 ive made to be able to walk consistently without exploding into dust. I'm on Xbox series x with no mods or scripts and I've watched all of your mech videos without those videos I dont think I'd ever have my backpacker mech or my Alien transformer. I am so thankful for these videos.

[@smithyMcjoe]

Been watching Boylei for a little while now, dude's a dab hand. Would love to see you do one of the larger mechs he's done in that series

[@killianmiller6107]

Perhaps something that could’ve saved a few minutes of rebuilding the railing walkway since the engineer was fat would be to delete a line of blocks to separate the railing from the main body, ctrl-x it and paste it nearby, add the extra row of blocks (plus the row you deleted), and then copy it back onto the body and fill the gaps.

[@BlackArmor718]

Since I added only half blocks and the railing isn't center, it needed to be remade

[@killianmiller6107]

I see now, I thought you made that an extra whole block long and made the same railing over again. My bad

@@BlackArmor718 design wise I don't think just making the letters with different blocks from the newer update would look all that impressive.
