Space Engineers Nuke Missile (Wait for it)

Some time ago I was challenged to turn my bomb truck into a GPS guided missile.
For those not familiar, this involves taking a loose single block of 42,000 kg of the component explosive and damaging it enough to cause it to detonate, resulting in a very unusual blast that can be anything from a blast wave sending massive builds flying to an enormous crater opening up. Static large grids take light wide spread damage, but it is devastating to sub grids.
Crater takes a bit to register in the game and causes some freezing, hence the length in the video of nothing happening.
This link is to the loading base and missile, I frankly can't recommend using the base, the weight of the component make the small grids do some really jacked up things resulting in you having to start over.

The missile guidance system knows where the missile is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is, from where it isn't, or where it isn't, from where it is, the guidance system can acquire the missile's exact location.

@@minimalgrammar1276 It's a mod ..I'm not sure if it's the GH industry mod or not . I'll have check the current game I'm playing to give you the exact name because I added it by mistake . 😂 It has Nuke warheads the regular ones with a timer on them and a Nuke warhead like you see in this video that you just place inside a container inside your missile or ship and when it blows up it can do more than just split a ship in half. If you pack your missile full of the nuke warheads it will incinerate whatever it hits a ship, base or whatever. Your entire ship or base will just disappear. You pack your missile full of these warheads and maybe a pack of enriched Uranium and blow it up at night and it lights up the whole ground for a second. This mod also comes with enriched Uranium, fuel rods and so many different types of reactors . It's pretty insane .

@@daskanguruh. check your world settings in the check list there was an option to lower voxel damage and explosive effects to reduce cpu usage, make sure it is not checked, can't remember the name of it but it is on the upper left of that list. Check around the missile and see if you see the explosive on the ground, while I never had it happen it may have fallen out. Is it a repeated issue? I could probably jump in game tonight and see what is going on.

[@AtlasEnthusiast0368]

for anyone who isn't aware, this is likely voxel hand. watch how it lands, hits, then delays voxels like that, if it were delayed voxels, grids woulda fallen through the ground, visually, while the voxels load the changes. this is likely him launching, then a friend changing the voxels, or something like this. not trying to be a dick but just saying. EDIT: also even if the grid IS static, the small grids around AREN'T. also in 99% of cases, static grids turn into dynamic the second they lose their ground. this comes from experience, I have played the game since 2013 (yes, alpha of the game)

Finally somone eles who knows how to make real nukes. You missed 2 steps I believe tho that would make it do way more damage to everything in the blast radius. And your loading process is just for show as a real missle would need to do it mid flight before detonation so as to not have them auto clean. At least on xbox.

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

The missile didn't take too long, took a lot of testing though to get it stable, the base is a bit elaborate, you could use a ship with landing gear to load it, and it may be even easier now with the new block collisions.

[@fatarsemonkey]

The explosion seemed less than stellar but the crater was magnificent.

[@TheAndy7042]

Hmm yes must steal this technology for the fleet !

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

I think a blast like this takes 54,000 explosive, and it must be in a single chunk, hence why I had to break a large cargo container to get it.

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

Yeah, despite having unsupported stations off, and the explosion destroying all connecting vocals, it did not turn into a ship, I think it is because I used a bug back when, that allowed small grids attached to a large grid, to pass through large grid blocks, to build that base in the first place. I but I am not sure, I tried it on another small building and it took leaving the game and loading back in for it to fall.

[@wanderingpalace]

How does it work?like what is the loose explosives that made it so powerful?

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

Yes, damaging the component, explosive, will detonate it. I believe this missile contained a single chunk of 64,000 explosive and the blast increases exponentially the more explosive you use, however it must be in a single chuck, meaning the only way to obtain it is by destroying a large cargo container with explosive in it. Cant remember but I believe destroying it causes you to lose 40% of it, this loader grinds it down but doesn't have enough space for the explosive, so when it is ground down, there is no loss.

[@LodewijkVrije]

you should try to make it airburst like a real nuke. maybe in that case it would also take out the base itself?

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

Unfortunately no, the blast has little effect on large grids and even though the attaching voxel is destroyed, and having unsupported stations off, it still stays floating, until you save and reload, then it fell. However I have been pondering doing another version with a more mobile launcher, I can make it an airburst.

[@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur]

why was a cargo container grinded and then all those steps to load it into the rocket? i am confusion

[@user-nk6sg8li9x]

The explosive payload is a single chunk of 64k explosive, the only way to get this is to destroy a cargo container with over 120k explosive in it. If the chunk was not a single chunk of 64k explosive, it would not make the huge crater.
