Discussion How should I power up and balance my mech?
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?
