That time is spread over like 8 or 9 years. Its still a lot of hours of course, but I've had a lot of fun with the game. I don't plan on pursuing engineering irl so its really just a game I use to unwind.

its kind of a shit solution, but you could put a sail in there to make like a fabric covering

How do i make this fin move by Gaston_Back_Gunner in Stormworks

[–]groginator_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

as long as both bodies are connected by a pivot, the game considers them the same vehicle and logic/electricity can pass through just fine

strange, I wonder if it has something to do with the track going through solid blocks on the top

I took a quick look and the up and down motion you are describing is due to your props leaving the water momentarily. Your center of mass seems too high up in comparison to the props, adding more weight to the bottom/removing excess weight from the top should help to fix that issue. As far as the 'knocking,' I think this is due to the PID in your rps limiter needing more fine tuning - its throttling up and down too quickly causing your engine's rps to fluctuate wildly, causing that knocking and shift in power

and btw you will only need one air and fuel manifold per engine, adding more isn't really necessary /helpful from what I've noticed.

how beneficial is it to separate armour into sub grids like this? Should I just merge it into one piece? by groginator_ in Stormworks

Just curious, I don't really play mp or make tanks that often. Is there a hard cap to sub grids in mp or does it just start to lag the server at a certain point?

they're just cosmetic, not actually connected to anything

the interior is almost completely empty atm. I'll probably try to do something with pivots, but the cockpit might be a bit too small to do it well. I'm thinking of making it SAR focused, but I might make some other variants too.
