Mad Me: Fury Rail - Scrapyard #17 

I imagine the fizzix thing is perhaps partly explained by the position of the hitches. The trailers are all connected to one another, obviously, and the ones that are going to land upright want to be flat on the ground. Their hitches are going to pull whatever's attached to them with them when they decide it's time to be flat on the ground, and because the whole setup is designed to rest flat, that's going to basically act as a lot of free down-force for your attached trailers. That or there are phantom mental gyroscopes involved.

@@ultmateragnarok8376 You are in the wrong class - Physics class is down the hall this is Fizzics.

@@armastatnono, im in this class

That happens with a 10 yr old game that never left the early access state and its engine was outdated at launch. Lol. Don't get me wrong I love this mess of a game. SE does something no other game out there does. But still..

lol :D

@@Splitsiehave you tried the rotor and hing steering script? Makes trailers a lot easier to deal with.

yes that 'feels fast' sensation when it occurs - at least in normal humans - is a warning of impending doom.

Sounds cool

I would suggest NOT using Splitsie's action as a method to impress your boss.

oh yes, for sure. it might be a land train, but it needs a platform to roll up and unload/load at. with a cargo section to unload cargo too, love it. He could do that right after he adds a sound block with a cho-cho sound coming from it

I was wondering if, and how, he plans on charging it for when the batteries discharge through the week.

So, a Clang Train?

lol love it MM

He doesn't have Capac to actually sitting in that seat with this series.

If only we had interior turrets for small grid :(

@@Splitsie oh yeah! I forgot these are large grid only… interior turrets on small grid would make so much sense! 👍🏻

​@@Splitsiesmall grid custom turret controller? One hinge, one small advanced rotor, a top mounter camera and a single weapon, like a minigun or autocannon.

Harpoons

@armastat Space engineers doesn’t have harpoons without mods though

@@hagangray8006 I know, and there is a harpoon mod for tow cables. Splitsie has used it way back in the day. I was referring mostly to that a bow and arrow style harpoon gun on top would be more Mad Max style.

lol Thanks, now I can only see the moustache :P

"Meat shield" is a bit gristly. We prefer to call them "Organic Defense Specialists."

Huh. So Eight Volunteer Meat Shields equals one Capac Meat Shield. Interesting.

The trouble with a Capac meat shield is that sometimes he even manages to shield the enemy from his own bullets :P

Don't worry, I've asked for some of the other people on the server to make turret wagons, so we'll definitely have turrets :)

@@Splitsie Thank goodness. It is a little hairy up there at the pole. You'll need all the guns. Embrace your inner honey badger.

All hail the great humungous, the iatolla of rockin rolla "Just walk away, leave the gasoline and walk away"

you talking about "cope cages" like seen in Ukraine? (Apparently, that's a phrase used in various offical settings these days)

@@diazinth similar. The ones we used in Iraq weren’t so thrown together with scrap.

That's an interesting thought. I'm not sure quite how I could do that now, but for other parts of the train I'll keep it in mind :)

Me too, or at least that most of it survives :D

Technically this could be possible in SE, you would just have a hydrogen engine instead of a Diesel engine (Since space engineers suspensions have their own electric motors).

and more dakka

Oooo .. yes

I'm thinking that'll be one of the things I do to the second train. I'm going to go looking for some suitable scrap I think :)

@@Splitsie second train could also have a skirt with guns or covered shooting platforms perhaps

Also, you could name the scrapyard, Crimson Cannon Junkyard.

Yeah, the custom turret it tempting for some decoration :)

excess plushies

That's just the usual Meat Shield Capac strategy.

Block-Chain Pain Train. (say it 3 times fast)

The issue is that most trailers in the real world are operating under controlled conditions ie roads or railroads. In se you're operating on random terrain that can have all sorts of odd changes in camber, pitch or both at once

With the goal of this to gather Ice, not much else and with the last wagons going to be the first to be shot up by followers you probably want cargo just after the locomotives :) And during driving,. walking around is probably going to end quite badly anyway :P Though some external seats for people to jump onto if they need co0uld be useful

@davidmartensson273 I mean just because the intention for the train is to go gather ice doesn't mean it won't potentially end up be used for other things, like I could hypothetically see it being used as an obstacle for a race course or barrier/fence to Splitsies base or even used like deplyable dolly wheels for buildings he wants to take back to his base if it survives the polar cap. You do have a very valid point metioning followers, i did forget that Splitsie and his mates/cohorts on the server will more then likely have followers as the get closer to the polar cap as for which will be the first car on the train to be shot up that kind of depends on the tactics Splitsie/who ever is driving at the time uses, like if they charge in like a bull at a gate you definitely aren't wrong, however if they stop to deal with any Dags... uh i mean followers as they head to the polar cap then it will more then likely be the one with the most targetable systems (power, propulsion, etc...), and with that in mind front or back either way as long as theres sacrificial cars infront or behind the ice cargo car should be fine either way (depending on where it ends up) As for walking around while driving, I mean as long as you aren't walking around pinch/crush points (like moving hinges, rotors or small tyres turning/being raised by the suspension, or near where blocks get dubiously close to touching one another) shouldn't really be a big issue *this is also assuming that the ping of everyone involved isnt horribly high. As long as the walkway between cars uses blocks that clip through one another like with the extension part of a piston (as in the piston without the piston head) or the top edge of the air tight hanger door you hypothetically could have a walk way from one car to the next that shouldn't affect the car behind turning but still let you walk between the cars with it being less likely to end badly, or if Splitsie doesnt want to use the clipping exploit or add more moving parts to a car on the train which is understandable, the alternative would be have the walk way between cars be on the roof using the armor panels and build it so that it's a block or three wide (so as not to mess with the symmetry or making sure the weight is as balanced as it could be) and falls short by at least a half block of the next car (and doesn't overlap into where the next train car is when turning or going over a crest of a hill or down onto a valley floor), as for the external seats not a bad idea although in the back of my head i cant help but think to avoid losing inventory when killed internal seats would be better for primary seats and having external ones as just in case seats. And to be fair it has been two and a bit years since i played on a server and may all that have changed since i last played on one (atm im playing a single player survival, only recently got back into playing video games, in particular Space engineers, thanks to watching Splitsies delightful content. 😅)

I've got a pair of exhausts on the back set for fire, will hopefully remember to turn them on next week :)
