Been playing around with spinny stuff, if you put wheels on the sides of a square base, you can make the top spin around extremely fast without it tearing itself apart (most of the time...)

First try at a more goofy idea.

They didn't know what was upon them until it was too late.


It just, rolled up to the house one day. It was the last thing they saw.


Some say it was made of wood.

Nothing amazing happens here.
Everything is ordinary.

So after a few days seeing GIFs and poo poo on imgur those /v/ vids were the straw that broke the camel's back. And good god this poo poo is fun, it's so conducive to experimentation, the dev has got a great approach to this and if he ever adds a basic map editor this is one of those games that could go on forever.

There is no way to clone or remove a whole section of parts at once a la Kerbal yet is there? I've had a few times already where I'm like "This really needs to be one block forward except I need to place all 8 parts again manually"

On the upside I managed to make a ballista that had vertical and horizontal aiming. So woo starting easy!

Trebuchet is pretty easy because it's 100% gravity powered. It's just a lever and a counter-weight with a bomb holder on the other end. You can use either sort of unpowered hinge and pull the launching arm down with rubber bands or detachable ballasts. What's nearly impossible, sadly, is traditional torsion-based ballistae or catapults. It's hard to create anything like a torsion-spring and the options for making a "pouch" type piece is basically limited to holders which are super awkward to use. I can't imagine leaving either of those pieces out of the full version so hopefully we'll see them soon!

Yeah, a few improvements on the build interface would be nice. Symmetry/mirror, copy/pasting of 'subsets', etc.

This, the ability to toggle a motor rather than have to hold the button down, the ability to constrain how much things rotate (90 degrees, 45 degrees, etc) and (maybe?) moddability are really all I want out of this game. It's good.

L = a steering hinge bound left - right arrow keys
R = a steering hinge bound right - left arrow keys
B = block of wood
P = Piston. Bind the hotkeys alternating left and right, so that it lifts the mech up
A = Armor plate for traction

Walk by alternating left and right

L    L
B    B
R    R
P    P

Thanks. It sort of works, but it still feels more like it's hopping along than really walking, and falls over in a tantrum when I walk it too long. Maybe I can use springs, or something ...

Someone found out how to make a clutch by using a holder on one side of the fireball that's attached to a grabber. Theoretically you could mount this on a vehicle to 'kill' the engine and control how much power is being put in.
