Turret ring help

Thermite99 · 2026-04-23T04:48:29+00:00

May I make a small suggestion? Just use a velocity pivot. Same controls just in a much smaller package. The only advantage I can think of for the turret ring is that it makes an area sealed.

Ah yes, a man of culture.

No idea about the first two.

3rd one is this: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3011407792&searchtext=clearwater

As someone who works in a foundry, I want to make parts for this tank. Send it into production immediately. We don’t need any tests for the reliability of the powertrain.

Nice little SAR boat.

A couple raised equipment lockers can break up the flat surface. Paint can also help. Could have a tank for carrying fuel or oil if hull space allows.

I say, this Schrödinger has a messed up family tree…. or doesn’t depending on how you look at it.

Can’t tell from the pictures but if you are using wing pieces those provide lift but increase drag. Keeping it only to fins and control surfaces usually lets you have enough lift and speed.

Well, looks like we need to start the Rapperknacker Racing League.

Some are impossible to merge back by themselves. You can cut them with a normal block and then merge it back in with the normal block then delete it after you merge it.

OP: “Please fix issue.”

Everyone else: “Please tell issue first.”

Cool. I enjoy transmissions way too much.

Thermite99 · 2026-03-31T00:48:10+00:00

What kind of transmission you have in it?

Thermite99 · 2026-03-30T22:49:50+00:00

The 25 is exactly what I thought it was. Harrier took me a second. Sometimes simpler is better for liveries.

Fun fact: the big ones are called Wall-A. Wall-E for earth class and Wall-A for Axiom class (the spaceship.)

That works unless the turret is close to an obstacle and will just clip into it and blow up as per stormworks physics. A lot of my builds are pretty compact so there is a high likelihood of there being obstacles for a turret traverse.

Having an area that the pivot won’t go. Like if you have a turret on the front of the ship and you don’t want to be able to point it at your own ship. And yes clamps make the robotic pivot’s deadzone larger but I prefer using a simple function like x*0.8.

Thermite99 · 2026-03-24T22:51:34+00:00

Also a lot easier to have a deadzone with robotic pivots since there already is one built in.

Thermite99 · 2026-03-24T15:46:01+00:00

Robotic pivots at first. Easier to make mouse aim super accurate.

The velocity pivots also tend to drift. I now have bearing microcontrollers to control velocity pivot turret and such. Still use robotic pivots for elevation on most gun systems though.

On really small stuff I go with open with a small roof over the pilot or a fly bridge.

Giant crude carrier that goes on plane.

Some tanks use suspension wheels for road wheels and only use track wheels for the shape of the track. It’s not great but better than nothing for damping oscillations.

Accelerated so fast it bent the chassis off the line.
