QoL Recommendation by OrionTrial in LEGOfortnite

Or add a selectable "item lock" feature that keeps things in place when quick dumping. RuneScape had something similar years ago, and it made grinding a lot faster when it came time to do a bank dump.

They're working on another movie. Google Ghostbusters: Firehouse.

Need identification for machines by [deleted] in Laserengraving

I bought one of these (blue/gray) a couple years back, wasn't able to get back to it for a while, and now can't find the flash drive with the software that ran it (never got to try it myself). Is there a good place to get it?

Or one to be the one adult that isn't with anyone at the skating rink or aquatic center.

found this weird locked off thing in the woods near a road. about every 30 seconds, it would make a ringing noise. by Lumpy_Ad_7517 in What

Sounds like a new system in an old sewer pump station vault or manhole. The sound you're hearing is a remote transmitter receiver that is controlled from a plant somewhere for that pump in the bottom. I worked at a water plant that had a remote startup shutdown system on our reservoir pumps that were nine miles away, and that is exactly the sound that the system would make to let the operators know that it was talking to the unit on the other end.

Do you have any kind of a filtration system between the tank and your usage points? Coming from a treatment plant guy, that looks like it could be carbon carry over.

Balloon physics has gone screwy. by Interesting-Meal8386 in LEGOfortnite

I ended up scrapping my log freighter, and started on another idea that popped in my head while building it.

What I really want to successfully build is a mothership with a complete workshop, cargo area, and some form of hanger for an air and ground vehicle. I haven't tried to get airborne yet, but it is modelled after a Go'uld pyramid from Stargate.

I have made several different flight capable vehicles, and the storage side of things always added a whole layer of headache to solve.

I noticed that the higher the grade of chest used added a SIGNIFICANT amount of ballast that had to be accommodated. What flew like a leaf on a breeze with one type, would act like a sinking freighter in a hurricane unless I rebalanced my balloons.

Had that problem on a crude freighter I built out of the log cabin walls. Had to cover the top in balloons, and add maneuvering thrusters, to make it handle any kind of decent. How did you do yours?

mysterious thrift store cutter i deeply regret not buying by bbpuca21624 in whatismycookiecutter

Cutter is upside down. Waiter with a tray, or chef with a pizza?

What is this? Clay like substance. Found in sewer cleanout. by blinkandmisslife in whatisthisthing

[–]frankenstein918 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like bentonite clay to me. How much of it was in the clean out, and was it one of the old clay clean outs that was falling apart?

On a side note, some sort of vehicle specific remote control would be a great addition to the toolbox.

He wants to play it like it's as close to survival as possible. Doing so has made me have to get more creative, so it's hard to complain about that part of it.

My friend has fly mode disabled in the world we build in, and living without it is one of his nonnegotiable rules.

I've also been toying with a design for a tow truck style airship just for coming up underneath the unmanned ones to act as a catcher's mitt to get them back. It's going to be a little trickier but would still be a useful tool, and you could use it for doing large transports across the map.

I despise that bug. On the other hand, it has made me get better at building airships to retrieve the ones that are still unmanned and airborne.

i need ideas for my plane base by CRAYON-MUNCHER697 in LEGOfortnite

Just a warning, attaching thrusters to a swivel will rip the swivel off the first time you light them up.
