MODULAR RUNWAY

Description
Welcome to the epitome of usful things in harsh situations. As many of you know, landing planes in forests or mountains doesn't always work so well; they often crash into walls or trees. Sometimes it's even worse with taking off.

I've found a way to get around that.

Meet the Modular Runway: a long elevated landing strip used to make runways in any biome. These runways are decently cheap- made almost entirely out of five-long GSO blocks and a couple of anchors and lights. Buying multiples of these mid/late game will be absolutely no problem.

After you buy one, you can buy more and interlock them using the built-in hooks. Once you have two locked in place, anchor them and fill in the gap using whichever block you choose.

The modular runway is well-lit, carrying venture light panels along the sides of the runway and GSO storm lights down the center. It makes quite the spectacular scene, and also makes it possible to land your planes at night! (if you have issues with the center lights hitting your wheels or stopping your planes, just remove them :D)

Landing an unmaneuverable plane on one or two landing strips may be tricky, so if you have a large plane I'd suggest using my MODULAR RUNWAY 2X (the same concept but with a double-wide runway). Link here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1197069427


Enjoy!

now all you gotta do is find a way to make it fly, then you can create the most ironic vehicle in existance :D

It's best to find relatively flat ground to make it on, because the anchors get all screwy if it's on terrain. Try finding a small ditch or base of mountain to make it in. Also only anchor one of the runways if it messes with the flatness of it, or else your plane will crash.

I think the only time I tried while both were not anchored I ended up pushing the other while trying to hook :P But it's probably just me being bad at it ^^"

Did you de-anchor the runway while hooking? Because while anchored, one runway gets slightly taller than the next.

Well I like the idea ... but I can't seem to use the hooks. I mean the thing barely turns, even using "b", I can't put it in the right place :c
