Also @FunkyBacon i got the ship to work on the planet. worked pretty well. dont remember if i updated the link to it or not tho

@Dundee here u go https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2415983416&searchtext=subgrid+projector

@Dundee u can use a mod that lets u use projectors with subgrids. ill post it for u here soon

Because projectors don't work with subgrids unfortunately. But the ReadMe panel on the front should have the information you need to set them up.

Any reason the projector didn't spawn the welders/grinders?

@FunkyBacon take a look at it been working on it now for a few days off an on
tell me what u think
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2673895121

also realized that the cargo is full of stone lol

@FunkyBacon ya i just relized that sometime after i posted. an ya it might but i do know it doesnt do the spin out of control thing anymore an i was excited about that. but what i did was take the ur drone m4 cut the back off an then pasted the parts off the utility ship to counter for atmos. i might try again but combine then the right way an see if that works with the cargo.. if u do a new design PLEASE post asap :) an tag me an ill be on it like white on rice lol

Heya Don. I looked at your modifications and it does need a lot of work. Like the connection between the medium containers and large container are broken, it need more power and a few other things like that.

Fixing it could be hard and I think making a whole new design might be better.

Hey @FunkyBacon so been working on this as a atmo an its working for me on alien planet an Earth. Im just having trouble getting the design right so i have the blueprint for u to look at an work ur magic on. https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2671215285

I built a miner with rotors so that I could drill vertical shafts... Didn't have that horrible spinning that you've got going in that video, but I definitely noticed some weird issues when it came to raising and lowering the drilling arm. Using the LCD screens in the industrial cockpit, I was monitoring the weight, and it seems that there's something going on with the way that the game handles subgrids, dampeners, physics, and weight. I don't know enough about the way that's coded to pinpoint the problem, but it's obvious that all of the functions handling those things aren't talking to each other properly, or there's some kind of delay, something in the order that they are called that results in this behavior.

I have tried making one in atmo but ran into a problem when trying to offset the gravitational pull with thrusters on the pod, for some reason it causes the pod to spin out of control. =/

i would love to try one of these as well as a atmo :)

I could try but it might not work as smoothly as subgrids aren't so stable when gravity is involved.

Can you make one of these for atmo

Does this work on the moon?

Strange thought, will the script used to keep track of fuel work on bigger ships?

Okay, cool ill be looking forward to it.

I don't know yet. Might do some more designs when the new patch hits.

When are we going to see more of your builds?

do you have a planet version?

@ Zac Lee
not counting connector and welder storage there's 3 medium and 1 large cargo container so it can store a decent amount of goods.

Quality concept, how much storage is available?

Hi, how to build it in survival mode? The projector shows only part of the ship.

Brutalbic1: Did you check the rotation of the rotor head relative to the base prior to attaching? There's a notch on the rotor head marking zero degrees. The head needs to be aligned with the current rotation of the rotor or otherwise it'll try to spin it to the currently set angle with full force, which often results in explosions, especially when Torque on the rotor is higher than normal.

Oh you mean just add that entire section to the rotor head?
Yeah I figured this would be the only option, just figured I'd ask if there was another way as I'd have to repaint it and all to match my colour scheme :)

Huh. That's a thing I never tried to do as the normal way would be to just build and weld the whole craft and rotor like usual with a projector, then manually add the rest of the pod and weld them up too.

I've tried to build this in creative as a test for survival by just spawning the main ship, then using another ship to move the welder/grinder into place before attaching the rotor head, but it just cases both the rotor base and rotor head to explode as soon as I press attach

nice one :)

Yes, only the junction got enough large ports to cover each direction needed to connect everything.

Are conveyor junctions used for the welders and grinders? Just built this in survival but the projectors dont support different grid sizes

i love this i looks cool

But it is still cool

I hate this ship make it Straight it is crooked the grinders need to be on both sides huuhuuhuh pls fix I’m begging you

Sweet looking ship, will try it out :)

Very Awesome =)

absolute awesome design!

Nah I doubt it. It's just a single rotor so it should be fine.

Is clang going to break my server when i build this?
