The boulder is the heaviest thing.

Uncle Fester 10 Jun, 2020 @ 5:52pm

it was Gamesgds the page that copied my guide

Uncle Fester 10 Jun, 2020 @ 5:21pm

In @Kuroro defense, the page that Geecko mentioned also did the same thing to a guide of mine, they put me as the source but nevver asked my permision to post my guide on their page

Is there any weight difference between full wooden pole and a halved one?

🎀Kuroko [author] 1 Apr, 2020 @ 9:22am

Damn, I'll never understand why all the hate. None of the information is copied from anywhere. It was all tested in-game using balances and ballasts, as well as other systems, process which took several days. I see that the website below is completely identical, however. Even the publishing date is the same, so that's curious. Wonder if it has a bot set to copy steam guides, or something like that.
As for the logic blocks, yeah, I'll have to add them sometime.

🎀Kuroko [author] 10 Dec, 2018 @ 12:16am

Well, yea, it does change if you play with the mass slider; it's just 1 by default. Thanks for reminding me, I'm adding that right now

Lapsem Weaver Jr. 9 Dec, 2018 @ 3:42pm

I see there it says that all primitives weigh exactly 1μ... so, that doesn't change at all, not even if you play around with the mass slider? 🤔
