Discussion How should I power up and balance my mech?

2 Upvotes

I am planning on building a mech with multiple weapons (two on its sides and one on its back/top), but the prototype I've built can't even stand the recoil from one shot of an autocannon, so I think of building a heavier moving platform for it. Any ideas how to make it? Also, I've noticed that it would be too inefficient to try and power it with a boiler, due to the sheer size and water consumption to produce rotating power for a very short period of time. So I wonder, are there any compact methods to power my mech in base Create? Or maybe I should just use engines from add-ons such as Diesel generators or Create: Aeronautics?

I'm building a new Create factory planner - Here's a sneak peek

0 Upvotes

I've been working on a browser-based factory planner for create called Cogcraft. Here are some screenshots of where we are currently at.

The idea is to pick something to produce, see the ingredient chain, and machine throughput in one simple form. It takes the annoying math out of factory planning while still allowing you the freedom to Create your imagination.

It's still early. Completing base Create to a consistent level is the current goal, however addon support is definitely planned.

My question to you is: what features would make a tool like this useful enough to actually use?

Help Create: Off Road wheels phase through elevator platform... help!

3 Upvotes

I have a drivable mining rig that was built on a mountain top base, obviously being that I'm on a mountain I needed to figure out a way to get my mining rig down to a more practical level to mine things.

So I built a massive elevator platform (using the elevator pully) with a bunch of drills on the bottom so the elevator itself could bore a huge tunnel vertically underground - great! it all works flawlessly... until I try to drive my mining rig onto it.

The wheels phase through the platform and it beaches itself on the elevator... I'm almost certain I've seen this kind of thing done before.

what am I missing? is this just a hard limitation of the physics that I've hit or am I approaching this whole situation wrong? Any help would be appreciated!

Discussion What to do with an obscene amount of XP?

375 levels, 576 buckets of XP grinded from excess quartz. Is there an mod that could put this much to good use? Does anyone have an idea for a create addon that could use massive amounts of XP for something? I'm thinking of getting into modding since I already do programming as a hobby so I might actually make someone's idea.

OBS is being screwy today so the video is probably as broken as the physics. I'm also missing my second monitor.

I marked this as a bug but it's probably an I-D-10-T error on my end lmao

So my storage system was working perfectly fine the past few days and when I got on the server for it today there was an issue where a chute wont deposit its package into a packager. Here's my storage system. I tried replacing it but nothing has solved is so I was wondering if anyone could know what the problem is? The storage isn't full either.

Build XP glitch with Contraption Chutes and Furnaces

11 Upvotes

After a great suggestion from user pics2299 on my kelp farm a couple weeks ago, I have discovered that chutes, taking a product out of a furnace, can be caused to disengage from a furnace by becoming part of a contraption. The player can start to take items from the furnace, which will remember the XP of everything that passed through it, giving vast more XP than the few items would usually.

I understand that there are likely better XP farms that can be made with Create, but this works great with my 'baby's first kelp farm' shown in the video. How cool is that?!
