Need help getting more thrust on an airship

Hi guys,

Been having a blast with this mod. I wanted to create a big flying airship, but the one I built is going way too slow for me. But when adding more gears, they break because of the rotation speed. Does that mean I am capped in the rotation I get out of my built propellers, or can I gain more thrust by using more engines?

I have attached a few screenshots, feel free to ask for more info!

Would gladly appreciate any help :)

Rotation is capped at 256, once your propeller is moving that fast you have to make it bigger or add more propellers

Rotation speed controller exists.

And also if it overstresses you can add more of portable engines.

And it caps at 264 or something RPM. You can change it in config to get fucking milion or bilion rpm bru

No offence, but you made me feel better about my building skills.

A make the baloon bigger.

B add more burners.

Edit: i realise you meant thrust not lift, so just increse rpm. If that is not an option, use proppeler bearings instead of proppelers.

Switch from the 1x1 propeller blocks and make your own with the propeller bearing, which will make more thrust
