This was difficult to get working, but I'm glad that I managed to make it work completely with ropes! My Discord: / discord Besiege Playlist: • Besiege
When I hear "requires interesting solutions" from RC, I already know it would be some unholy game-breaking contraption. Two minutes later he breaks a log with unbreakable on. Thanks as always!
Very cool design. Ingenious really. I just want to add that your helicopter would have flown a lot better had you added a horizontal stabilizer to the tail.
I feel like it's worth noting that while ballasts are lighter and more durable, they aren't that much lighter. A minimum weight ballast is 0.2 while a single wood block is 0.3 and a double wood block or wooden pole are 0.5 (aka 0.25 per section) and a log (triple wood block) is 1.0 It's also worth noting the cost of using braces to support a ballast: each brace weighs 0.5 Using ballasts on flying machines is often a good idea as they're even lighter than wooden poles and unaffected by minor damage, but don't mistake them for feathers
I think a good challenge for you generally would be a walking machine, maybe it could be a series! Starting like a spider, then quadrupedal, then bipedal
You are literally the man who inspires me to make these things in real life, I love engineering and GOD do these ever look like some fun projects to try.
11:20 that is the entire point of the tail rotor, it opposes the rotational force of the main rotor by shoving air in the direction that the helicopter wants to spin
Can you make zero-mass force Neutralisation work? Zero-mass ballasts have zero rigidity connections and supposedly don’t transfer force at all, but can only be held in place with springs or winches. It can be used to lift extremely heavy payloads.
There is a really helpful mod called no bounds mod allowing you to make any value on things like ropes to make the speed as much or as little as you want.
I absolutely love your videos! I just got besiege because I love watching you play it,, and I was curious if you use any mods in your videos (and if so what they are)
instead of using other blocks to get higher values just get nobounds it's easier also easy scale so you can make your propellers longer instead of cramming more into the same place
I could be wrong but I think you can use any value on any object(like a rope) if you click in the field and type your own value. Oh it looks like you figured that out.
hey, personal pref of course- but if you slowed down your talking speed slightly or even paused between sentences it would be huge. you are speaking extremely fast without any breaks, it can be a bit much in moments.
Thats the weirdest helicopter ever. Normaly you only change the angle of attack of each of the blades, not however the angle of the rotor the body of the helicopter.
Worth saying. Cannons on flyers work really poorly as cannons for obvious issues of recoil. But they work really well as light bombers. Setting them to minimum power with canonballs explode on means you can drop smaller more convenient explosives than grenades or the big bombs
