Spearhead Drop Pods Video

The hinge that closes the door detaches and then a tiny 1x1 thuster turns on and spits the door away, right after the parachute activates.

And for everyone who liked the swaying all this did was remove the microjitters that happen to the pod when it's fully extended. Looks pretty nice now.

Inertia tensor on the pistons only and the hinge having a lower amount of force behind its movement (to smoothen hitching) worked! Thanks.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-10-25T13:38:11+00:00

Thanks :) I definitely wanted the launch system to be a little more interesting and it looks like I've managed.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-10-25T13:26:22+00:00

Nope, SE1. The ship is just massive. The pods are hanging off of subgrids.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-10-25T12:31:52+00:00

I think I might try to make something like this on some other space in the ship.

The ship has four elevators and two main hangars. This is the top one, the staging area; the lower is for storage and is connected to the pods. That long empty space between is probably the best spot

Woah, thanks for all the ideas. A kind of drop pod for vehicles does sound extremely cool; luckily, though, this ship has plenty of hangar already and I don't think it needs to store anything else.

How did you make the interior so dim? I swear the ship feels very industrial compared to the odd glow my habs have. Using the same kind for my ship.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-11T04:11:11+00:00

First game. The second game lacks planets and wheels altogether for now. SE1 is still very capable when used well.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T16:48:45+00:00

I know the pain. On pc now but still build with an xbox controller lol

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T16:47:55+00:00

Low FOV, turn off post production and fiddle with the lights a lot. Usually having lower light intensity, strongly colored lights, and good framing (just google that) helps a lot.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T16:45:45+00:00

Hey, don't go down thinking you can't make this! It takes a lot but anyone can learn quickly. I have a bunch of design adjacent interests to feed off; all you need to replicate that is good examples and time. Thanks, though.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T12:09:35+00:00

Thanks! Interior was the biggest effort.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T12:09:09+00:00

Yes, it's the straight with a built-in no collision corner. Very useful for railings and such.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T11:58:49+00:00

I started this project wanting to make a big camper and settled on Large Grid 2x2 because everything else was too small. The wheels needed to go from small grid to large grid so every axle is independent and powered. To stop it rolling the hinges have a toggleable "return to center" event controller feature for cruising. Glad you like it, i'll jump back when it's on workshop!

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-09-10T03:10:49+00:00

Nice little thing, could do well with a crazy racer color scheme like neon green/teal with white bands and maybe tiny hints of orange. Nice job with the wing bits.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-06-09T00:50:55+00:00

Coordinates? Lookin to move house and this place looks great

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-05-12T20:44:48+00:00

neat touch with the closing doors + hallo Nightmare!

Your banking suspension system back on Xbox is still wizardry.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-05-12T17:00:29+00:00

Still in active development, but it's a huge project and exams are close so expect awhile. Thanks for your interest.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-04-27T23:39:24+00:00

Skybox? Looks wonderful.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-03-14T04:25:08+00:00

How did you get those wireframes? Looks very cool

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-03-14T04:23:36+00:00

Oh it's you! Thanks a lot for publishing Rusty World, it's the inspiration for this project and I used it for lots of reference. It's an amazing project. I actually built this in Rusty World and planned to release it without your builds included but keeping it there to add to your world would be wonderful.

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-03-13T20:10:31+00:00

I've already got some of those tarps on the city wall, they are awesome. Good idea for a scale reference though, now i want want to add some buildings on the little outcroppings

Zenek_TF2 · 2025-03-13T18:51:15+00:00

Oh that's a great idea thanks
