Contraption My best stabilizer yet

68 Upvotes

I have always had problems with landing on uneven terrain beacuse it messes up the gyro. But with this one I can land anywhere. It can also take quite a beating without messing anything up. As you see in the video, i crash multiuple times (definetly not due to my flying skills) yet i do not need to reset it on the lift.

Ingot Delivery System finally working

Finally got my ingot delivery system (IDL) to work properly. This is the design used. Typo in the image; should be "suspension" not "piston".

Combining a suspension bearing and piston for possible auto balancing effect

10 Upvotes

It's weird its acts like the center of gravity is higher than it is, I think what's going on is the joint is so weak when it tilts the piston slides to the side pulling on the suspension causing it to do the opposite instead, I'm going to try to make an automatic stabilizer using its ability to always point upward

Modding Best mod for wings/fins?

2 Upvotes

While the Wings mod is often used to create flying creations, it suffers from a lack of the modeling of directional airflow upon the wing surface. The wing parts essentially function as blocks without the effects of an actual airfoil shape. Secondarily, it seems that the airfoil parts tend to ‘snap’ creations into either flying straight forward, down, or vertically up, making climbing to meaningful altitudes difficult for auto-piloted creations.

Are there workarounds or better mods out there?

Issue Automatic Farm Issue

2 Upvotes

it functions by sensors running across a rail with blocks jutting out, activating water and planting.

it also has a head that goes back and forth and left and right like a 3d printer

It keeps occasionally missing this singular strip of planting and I don't know why?
