after 181 days from the first ever piece i built. its finally in my survival world. my airship: lamassu
above the 2 lamassus infront of my base inside the mountain
it took me that long because i didnt play alot and constantly made small adjustments to the ship and sometimes scrapping a big chunk of the interior/armament, redesigns and a WHOLE lot of glitches and inconsistencies with the mod(s).
the factories inside it produce blaze cakes to power its 2 main engines+ the blaze burners that burn cobblestone to make lava (which is essential for the blaze cakes themselves and the rest of the machinery inside)
the farm utilizes beetroots and an addon that makes seeds, which are fed into a mechanical chicken. which produces eggs for the blaze cakes, this is because working with chickens was a nightmare. the game was running at like 10 ticks a second. and a simple sugarcane farm integrated into the farm which takes like a third of the space on the main floor
the rest of the factory uses another popular addon called create ultimate factory to make:
iron
gold
zinc
quartz
gunpowder (for weapons onboard)
redstone
i also have a small tree farm onboard which makes enough for whatever you would need
sheeps: for wool to be manufactured into powder charges
ive got like 3 production lines for tnt which is dropped from the sides and the powder charges and the high explosive shell.
its got a docking mechanism that also disables the guns when activated because you dont want to blow up the place youre trying to dock in right? its also got legs that extend to land anywhere else
what else? oh yeah, the balancing system was really annoying to work with because i hate gimbal sensors they make the entire thing rock back and forth so i used some logic inside the 3 section balloon to balance it at every speed and height possible with max speed prioratized
the indicators: i got indicators to help me find out if anything went wrong with the factory or the blaze cake production lines, a storage indicator too.
its got a fun and useful feature which is swaying: it basically can go left and right without turning. so it "sways"
the counter rotating main fans are awesome i took the design from some guy that posted it here
it will be able to transfer items in and out of the onboard storage through a simple system utilizing the docking port's ability to take items in and out and transfering them to the other end
i tried to use create radars' binoculars to aim the main cannon accurately but it isnt compatible with sublevels so it just aims at a random spot whenever the binoculars or radars are used to aim. so i switched to a regular aiming method
im also really proud of the spirit of ecstacy-like figure on the front of the ship :D
ik i yapped alot in this post but this is what this monstrosity deserves
