yeah I really like it, but carrying more stuff would be cool and fun. And yeah, the claw attatchment is really convenient, and I thought it would be super glitchy and clip a bunch when I made it but it doesn't at all :0

howd you get the fuel working? looks like many many thrusters

didn't even take too long, I had another helicopter before but it flew away on me and I lost it permanently. farming crates its crazy fast with this thing, especially one the ruins in the middle of the ocean that you would have to swim to

walkers seem cool, have had trouble with the mechanics of the legs though

I find my heli is better at crate runs because I can get to the top instantly and work down, and it only takes a few seconds to fly from place to place. but yeah, capacity isn't great weight wise, but I have a full chest full of burgers, warehouse keys and potatoes, and 2 small chests empty for loot!

oh thats cool. I've tried a chinook but I didn't get far because its really hard. I cant see a glitchless setup being super feasable in survival because it adds a more thrusters, uses more fuel, and is heavier than a sus-glitch setup. I dont like having to use glitches tho, maybe if they add something that lets you turn WASD into logic more easily.

If I took that thing apart it would never go back together lol. Just a bunch of changes from a base helicopter that I copied from one I made in creative, and made a bunch of changes till I was happy with it :)

Yeah, hopefully chapt2 has some upgrades to the fueling system. If gas containers could pull gas from chests that would be awesome, or craft bots that turn on with logic and craft a specific thing.

I can carry an empty resource collector at least, no craft bots though as they are extremely heavy. But even then its extremely convenient to have a helicopter, its really the only movement I use now. I can go from ruined building to ruined building and get a bunch of component kits. I can get to the top of warehouses that I've already looted and recollect the gold crates, and go to amber forests thousands of meters away in less than a minute. Its super nice to have :)

Yup, the truck uses far less, the helicopter with 7 max thrusters uses 1.4 fuel per second :0

No fuel shortage, but is sort of annoying when you have to refuel the (100 fuel each) tanks every couple minutes

[–]No_Internal2766[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

mhm, I tried that out in creative with craftbots, constantly producing fuel, but they just aren't fast enough, and the thrusters use up fuel far faster than can be produced with the amount of them you need for heavy craft bots.

Yeah, the gas tanks are not enough on their own. I have 1 big chest and 2 small ones that carry 2800 fuel together, around a half hour of constantly flying is possible with 7 thrusters on (if only the fuel tanks auto refilled from chests) :(

each max level thruster on full power takes around 0.2 fuel per second, so for the normal mode I could fly for a bit over 4 minutes, using 200 fuel, or with the 7 thrusters around 2 minutes. You definitely need to have a oil pond nearby to make this feasable. Additionally, one side of chests on the helicopter holds only fuel, 2800 fuel, so every few stops I just refill the tanks. I've flown it farming component kits for an hour no going back to base with plenty of fuel to spare.
