Thank you, TJ! How did you find this old thing?

8/10! Pretty indestructible, poggers design!
Algen  [author] 6 Oct, 2015 @ 11:59pm 
Yep, I remember you :) Thank you!

Hi Algae I am RockMC Logs on youtube do you remember me? This machine is really cool btw

Dude Jaway, I highly doubt it. The sandbox is a test area. That's why there's those crushers and whatnot.
If they do, I will of course add an annotation with a disclaimer :)
Iguanadome 15 Sep, 2015 @ 8:46pm 
Algae, You do realize theres a chance of the creators adding a level with those crushers or moving parts right?.
Algen  [author] 11 Sep, 2015 @ 10:59pm 
That's true but is that the hovercraft being breakable or proof of a strong catapult arm? ;)
Bacon 11 Sep, 2015 @ 10:00pm 
its actually quite easy to break it, all you have to do is overbend the catapult arm and it will destroy itself
Algen  [author] 8 Sep, 2015 @ 7:14am 
CrackerJack, please read eariler comments :)

Congrats though, it can be quite hard (in zones, in sandbox you can break it with those blocks).

I BROKE IT!!!!
IT IS NOT INVINCBLE!!!!
Algen  [author] 7 Sep, 2015 @ 10:30pm 
Nice! Watch out with the steam though, you can't re-ignite the fireball once it's out.

This Thing Has Some Sickass Dance Moves
Algen  [author] 6 Sep, 2015 @ 10:23pm 
Yeah, I thought you meant negative.

AvarethTaika on reddit made a weight list, I can't find it on mobile, though.
HyperRealisticRock 6 Sep, 2015 @ 10:12pm 
I think you are confussing low positive pressure with low negitive pressure (suction). Any pressure above atmospheric pressure is postivie pressure and any pressure below atmospheric pressure is negative pressure, What I mean by hovercraft using low pressure is that the atmospheric pressure under a hovercraft is typically about 0.07psi comparred to a basketball of about 8.5 psi. Yeah it's weird with the weight of things in besige, like the ballast weights can be 0.2 weight vs a block of 1 weight lol.
Algen  [author] 6 Sep, 2015 @ 9:39pm 
"Hovercraft use blowers to produce a large volume of air below the hull that is slightly above atmospheric pressure. The pressure difference between the higher pressure air below the hull and lower pressure ambient air above it produces lift, which causes the hull to float above the running surface."(a quick google search gave multiple sources claiming this).

If there were low pressure under the hovercraft, it would get sucked to the ground. But I have to try out yours, it sounds cool! Did you know that boulders are lighter than torches?
HyperRealisticRock 6 Sep, 2015 @ 9:18pm 
First in real life they use low pressure under a skirt not high pressure, a hovercraft has a very light foot print. Secondy a cusion is not nessary for a hovercraft to hover it just allows it to go over rough terrain, my hovercraft uses multiply pads to hover but is still a hovercraft by definition. Just because everyone else uses the wrong term does not mean you should too.

@OUTLET_MASTER_(YT), Who ever said hovercraft should be easy to control? Hovercraft only float millimeters off the ground but most use a skirt to allow them to cover rought terrain.
Algen  [author] 6 Sep, 2015 @ 8:56pm 
Hybrid_Berry, if you look back in the comments, I explained how it's of no use to actually build a hovercraft in Besiege. In real life they use high pressure under a cushion, this is not possible in Besiege, and to make something that actually hovers you have to make an aircraft. I already made some quads and just yesterday an attack helicopter, so I wasn't interested in that. I also noticed a lot of people calling sleds Hovercraft and sleds have very little friction in Besiege so try control like hovercraft.
Light Ain 6 Sep, 2015 @ 8:29pm 
@Hybrid_Berry, The hovercraft you built can barely get off the ground if not slide, and if anything touches it, it will stop, also very hard to control, so dont start something with this guy his is faster and smoother and actually gets off the ground quite high.:steamsalty:
HyperRealisticRock 6 Sep, 2015 @ 7:32pm 
"Unfortunately, this is the closest you can get to a metal hovercraft." - Algae

That's not true, I have built a real hovercraft using stock parts and no mods.
Algen  [author] 6 Sep, 2015 @ 5:14am 
Hybrid_Berry, technically, it is a steam-jet sled. Unfortunately, this is the closest you can get to a metal hovercraft.
HyperRealisticRock 6 Sep, 2015 @ 12:54am 
Not a hovercraft, it's an airboat or steam-boat in this case. It's like calling a bicycle a car because they both have wheels.
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 9:34pm 
Dude Jaway, it is as invincible as it gets in Besiege. Vehicles in invincible mode also get destroyed in those moving parts of the sandbox. Fortunately, you don't have those in the zones :)

I didn't think this one would be so big, I have added disclaimers to my other "invincible" stuff. The trick is that grabbers will never let go. I'm sorry you feel this way :(
Iguanadome 5 Sep, 2015 @ 2:20pm 
You lied about it being invincible, It dies if it goes into any of the 4 crushers or the slicer.
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 10:00am 
Weird, it works for almost everyone.
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 9:42am 
That's weird. Do you have any mods installed?
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 9:36am 
Did it work?
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 9:32am 
Unsubscribe and subscribe again, that should fix it.
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 9:30am 
What do you mean, wont load?
Cumbrian 5 Sep, 2015 @ 4:54am 
Don't worry about it, I know the difference. I was just joking m8
Algen  [author] 5 Sep, 2015 @ 12:28am 
Thanks, CDTOU. I was a little confused because I read your comment before psycho_social's but I get it now. Do you want me to delete both of the comments?
Cumbrian 4 Sep, 2015 @ 4:41pm 
If it's invincible, why can I see it? It's a farce, everyone
Algen  [author] 4 Sep, 2015 @ 8:47am 
In my reply to Kittypause:

*hovercraft
not Hovercrafts :/
schnozwanger 4 Sep, 2015 @ 8:43am 
anytime
schnozwanger 4 Sep, 2015 @ 8:42am 
yeah
Algen  [author] 4 Sep, 2015 @ 8:42am 
Thanks, Slayer!

Algen  [author] 4 Sep, 2015 @ 4:17am 
Fleur, that's true, but I meant it is really hard to destroy it in levels :)

For a real "invincible" vehicle, try my Adamanteum Micro Tank II.
Algen  [author] 4 Sep, 2015 @ 4:12am 
KittyPause, unfortunately, hovercrafts can't be made in Besiege the same way they are built in real life. That's because Besiege has limited aerodynamics. The only way to make a hovercraft would be to make a hovering aircraft with only yaw as controls.
ATLAspanner 3 Sep, 2015 @ 11:30am 
Yey
KIProf 3 Sep, 2015 @ 8:49am 
Amazing !!! :DDD
NMC 2 Sep, 2015 @ 7:24pm 
not actually invincible
a paltry 8 bombs were enough to destroy it completely
such flagrant false advertising cannot stand, 0/10
Bunby 2 Sep, 2015 @ 6:39pm 
Aw, I was hoping it'd actually hover. </3
Core88 2 Sep, 2015 @ 4:35pm 
Nice to see that your hovercraft is doing good.
Sonic Lost World 2 Sep, 2015 @ 1:55pm 
How do I set the arm piston to toggle? Same with water cannons, how do I change that?
VikingTalon 2 Sep, 2015 @ 11:56am 
easy the holder / grabber auto grab most items
item the bomb wont attach hmmm i would have to save al tho im not sure its something to do with your pc xbox or other device
Larchwood 2 Sep, 2015 @ 9:28am 
Looks cool and a nice build, how do you get the pick-up widget to hold the bomb, or do you have to drop it somewhere and pick up independently, whenever I've tried this the bomb won't attach.
Algen  [author] 2 Sep, 2015 @ 8:52am 
Dragonwolf, what new maps? O.O I am interested. Do you mean the v0.10 ones? Or are there ones I haven't heard about?
Algen  [author] 2 Sep, 2015 @ 8:50am 
xhuggels, Thanks, but as I explained in the desc of the YT video and on reddit, the steering is taken from Core88's Hovershadow. Her hovershadow is a quadcopter, but I used it for a hovercraft.

It is totally her invention though.

I meant, he can't just put on some cannons and flamethrowers and call it his own. But I had a priave talk with him, all is well :)
Dragon7 2 Sep, 2015 @ 8:14am 
it looks awesome cant wait to use in the destruction of the new to come maps :)
xhuggels 1 Sep, 2015 @ 9:57pm 
this looks amazing! if i may ask how did you find the piston glitch?
Also phantom, im pretty sure he means you cant use his thing(for instance appearance and all the other stuff), not that you cant use the science because he himself used the steam science to build this(though i could be wrong lol). The stearing is a science Algae invented, and i say good job there!
