Great design, is there a small grid version for this?
halipatsui  [author] 6 Jul, 2022 @ 12:54pm 
Hox! this build can now be built in survival. New link in the description.
halipatsui  [author] 30 Jun, 2021 @ 2:13pm 
I think so yes. Humanoid legs just are much more annoying to animate
DragoF1sh 30 Jun, 2021 @ 10:54am 
I wonder, can this same method be used to make a mech with forward facing legs
(humanoid) instead of backward facing legs?

Your chassis is awesome. I used it as a base and rebuilt it at a larger scale to make an epic mech:

For high inclines there are few tricks:
Just you are hitting an incline you should pitch up, imagine matching running angle with the incline.

Also you can try jumping over inclines.
Alao you can try to hop up them.

But yeah extended time of 45 degree incline is not a good idea, but generally it can be pullled off if ypu have enough speed versus small enough incline.
Dathiris 18 Jul, 2020 @ 2:24am 
Oh, I should probably add: do NOT attempt to go up a large incline greater than 45°, you would risk breaking literally everything doing so. (at least in a 1g environment)

Everything else is 100% fine, surprisingly rugged.
I hit a small, pointy hill just wrong during the walk cycle just wrong and it punched a whole in the outside of the left shin, disconnecting one of the knee hinges, and it was still functional enough to be able to freaking jump!
halipatsui  [author] 17 Jul, 2020 @ 9:06pm 
Thanks for your compliments :)

And go for it :D
But i recomend to start off with a bit simpler build first.

Yeah i have played with pistons quite a bit too, not really with this chassis tho.

Pistons imo are best for shins, where they can be used to create more ground clearance during walk cycle.
They are also good for powering joints that dont need to be fast and require HIGH torque. (If used optimally)
I tend to make my mechs with speed being high priority and joints powered by pistons become much stiffer and bouncier than rotor/hinge joints. Also having more than neccessary subgrids is always kinda bad.


Tl:dr pistons good for power, bad for speed
Dathiris 17 Jul, 2020 @ 2:59pm 
This is by far the most functional mech chassis I've ever seen in this game.
Bravo.

This makes me want to see about designing a quadruped version of this for more stability, the forward jumping is just too good.
I’m curious though, did you play with pistons at all when prototyping this or did those break things?
halipatsui  [author] 16 Jul, 2020 @ 2:59pm 
Thank you! :)
But i have better one cooking already ;)
Dune 16 Jul, 2020 @ 2:55pm 
This awesome Dude!
halipatsui  [author] 16 Jul, 2020 @ 11:20am 
I dont have plans for that but if someone wants me to try something on their mech i can try if i habe the time.

Seeibg what bruce did with guardian using only timers, which makes this multiple timed harder i am pretty sure he can produce strafing mech. Afaik he abandoned guardian because hinges were introduced so i would not be surprised if bruce made his next mech a strafer himself.
Sailor Pothead 16 Jul, 2020 @ 9:21am 
do you plan on ever modifying other peoples mech builds to run on this WASD system, Such as the Guardian mech that is currently on the featured scroll with yours.
halipatsui  [author] 16 Jul, 2020 @ 5:01am 
Hmm. What RWI amd DRF are?
Havent come across with those before.
EPICDUDE365 15 Jul, 2020 @ 11:50pm 
I wonder if Captain Jack or Last Stand Gamer will use this as a template for a combat mech for the RWI or DRF
zonyx 15 Jul, 2020 @ 5:17pm 
YES. GIVE IN.
halipatsui  [author] 15 Jul, 2020 @ 5:03pm 
Zpnyx your prayers will be called uöon once i get to my pc. Our lord and savior Pepe will then descend among is and walk with us. Leading us to triumph of evil over good.
zonyx 15 Jul, 2020 @ 4:58pm 
agreeing with xurik we need the pepe build
halipatsui  [author] 15 Jul, 2020 @ 4:37pm 
!
Mr. Puffin 15 Jul, 2020 @ 3:32pm 
This is awesome now i want to mod in the metal gear sceeching sound into a sound block and put it on this thing
halipatsui  [author] 14 Jul, 2020 @ 9:30pm 
Morpheus in long run you will be better off without maglocks.


Xurik yeah i can post it. I didnt really think of doing it initially because it was just 1 hour troll build xD
Xurik 14 Jul, 2020 @ 9:02pm 
Are you posting the Pepe mech?
Molten Carnage 14 Jul, 2020 @ 8:20pm 
Watched your 2nd video. Suggest you get mechs prespawned and a guy dedicated to recording or use the replay tool in game. But yeah it was fun to watch. I wanted to tackle making an articulated mech using Maglock pads mod on the bottom of the feet to assist in more predictable ground movement.
halipatsui  [author] 14 Jul, 2020 @ 8:09pm 
Glad you liked it :) do you mean battles from my videos or have you guys had your own battle somewhere?
Molten Carnage 14 Jul, 2020 @ 7:16pm 
Suggested your BP to Arron of Last Stand Gamers. It was fun just to watch these mechs battle it out.
RD1Ghost 13 Jul, 2020 @ 7:28pm 
This is actually pretty cool, I'm very new to making mechs and walkers, so this gives me some ideas
halipatsui  [author] 13 Jul, 2020 @ 11:34am 
Yes. To ducks.
Rdav 13 Jul, 2020 @ 10:16am 
the chickens are evolving
halipatsui  [author] 11 Jul, 2020 @ 7:12pm 
I have plans for using this mech for pvp stuff
banksman45 11 Jul, 2020 @ 3:53pm 
Wow.. this mech would be perfect for PVP.
halipatsui  [author] 10 Jul, 2020 @ 6:30pm 
Pepe mech, when you have to hit with physical and mental warfare at same time.
I sawed your boat in half! 10 Jul, 2020 @ 4:46pm 
the future of warfare is here
halipatsui  [author] 10 Jul, 2020 @ 3:43pm 
Nope. This thing is:
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1787318037

It can reach 100 m/s but it is not nearly as agile :D, also a lot bigger.

I also have smaller mech that can run faster than this one can.

wow, this is probably the fastest legged thing on the workshop
