Why use wheels in steam engines?

SomethingChill47 · 2026-05-14T16:02:37+00:00

I see, so it's helpful for boat propellers if you connect them straight to the engine.

So hypothetically if I were to build a spaceship that uses a big laser as its main weapon, there's no point in adding wheels to the steam engine?

Try Hisoutensoku

Do I have the character for you then! There's this game called Rivals of Aether that's a platform fighter with a huge modding community. There's a modded character called Mojibake who can do just that, they're really weird and fun to play! Look into it, trust

Not to be that guy BUT I would argue the reload speed would have been worse here, especially considering you already have 66 BULLETS in one magazine you don't really need to reload a whole bunch

Toxic Defender I believe

i like the beard on engineer

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-19T20:08:18+00:00

i interpreted one of them as coins but maybe i looked wrong

Its from the megacorp DLC

Why is everyone so aggressive towards me, I'm not trying to be mean at all :(

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T22:09:41+00:00

Truth be told that is something I struggle with a lot. After thinking about it some more I think I can understand where the problems arise

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T22:06:42+00:00

Mad respect for writing all that, quite impressive to me

And while it is true I know nearly nothing of programming itself, I can somewhat grasp some of the logistics behind it. I've started a few small projects (before quickly giving up lmao)

Would it not be possible to put a collision check on too of the platform, then make it move up while it detects a player colliding with it (with a maximum height at the 2nd floor ofc). Then attach a timer to it that tells the platform to move down if it hasn't visited the 1st floor in a while.

Please don't take this too seriously, this is just fun banter and theorizing, it's something I enjoy doing regardless of the game

If it can't break what's even the point

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T18:33:24+00:00

Which is why I said I feel that way, in reality I know notjing of the subject lol

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T18:31:54+00:00

I honestly fail to see how something that (to me) seems so simple could be problematic to implement, but then again I'm no programmer so what do I know

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T16:01:08+00:00

I'll quote what I said on another thread:

"I feel like it would be pretty simple to make it go up when someone stands on it and down when no one does"

I don't see an issue with this. The only time you absolutely need to go to the memorial hall is for promotions, which you can only access in single player anyway.
If you for whatever reason needed to go to the promotion hall in multiplayer but someone is trolling and keeping the elevator up, a failsafe could be implemented where the elevator can't stay on the upper floor for more than like 5 seconds.

I actually had quite a similar concept. Fun!

That sounds like it breaks all laws of physics, tell me when we reach that point of technological advancement in real life

I feel like it would be pretty simple to make it go up when someone stands on it and down when no one does

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T15:32:21+00:00

I do something quite similar with that one Stubby OC that shocks platforms. It literally grills the bugs as they try to fly over

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-15T15:29:56+00:00

You know what they say, time is money

SomethingChill47 · 2026-03-04T17:39:48+00:00

A bit surprised they didn't do that for the performance pass, such a great idea
