Nope. None whatsoever. Definitely no war here.

I recommend a gear and steering hinge design. You can use the steering hinges to grapple the gears and engage them. No braces required and the throughput is as high as the input speed so no speed loses. As for torque I can't say but I think it wouldn't slip as I've never hap problems with higher power vehicles

Place a piston and then hover over it and press [f]. this will extend the piston in the editor mode. If this isn't the problem then I'm not quite sure.

@@Oring17 you need mods to scale the pistons not sure what all else he used.

Because I haven't felt emotional fulfillment in like half a year and I just can't get myself to do the damn voiceovers for the video I made sometime around march 🤠

@@vlastasusak6881 at least you know what you talking and doing voiceovers, most youtubers in besiege or automation guess stuff, but dont understand a thing.

'difference'

>Zlepšy lmao

Bro u are disgusting why are you hating on this man he did nothing to u. Props to u vlaska, this is very educational and I appreciate the ingenuity you put into these

@Hamfish i was learning to a lecture about automatic transmissions and planetary gears, i red rocket science for relaxation

As far as I can imagine, unless you find a way to have every single gear pair perpendicular, this is the best design approach you can take, since the gears are supported on both sides on ridgid points, they don't have much room to flex out of mesh. What you might need to do with this one though, is brace the gears on the input shaft together, and get a lot more grip on the coupling claws, maybe using spikes, or grip panels, if you want it to handle a heavy load

@@vlastasusak6881 perpendicular gears are what I ended up doing, yeah. Even connections between blocks seem to bend and stretch when enough force is applied on them, meaning simply bracing the gears better wouldn't keep them from slipping. Perpendicular gears are very inefficient at making strong transmissions however since they need much more space.

It's one of the "God powers". You can find them in the at the bottom of the settings tray you access via the little cogwheel icon in the top right corner

Do you mean climbing 20 degrees with a wheeled or tracked vehicle? I would love to see his take on a tank too

The weight of the parts does not scale with size. Encountered this problem when building missiles, missiles ended up heavier than the plane carrying them

PS: would making the engine "fram" more rigide by attaching both sides of the hexagons to each other increase performance? it seems to bend quite a lot also it seems pretty slow, could it be made to go faster using shorter angles? (I"m assuming it's slow because the pistons wait too long to do the opposite movement, making the whole contraction/retraction cycle longer and therefore the rotation speed smaller)

In this design, having the frame bend was intentional, it was to prevent the pistons from compressing more than they should, but I honestly have no idea if it helps or hurts the performance. The one on the car in the competition video is rigid, and it doesn't seem to cause problems, so the bendiness is probably unnecessary. Using shorter angles should theoretically increase the speed, but also decrease the power

For this video, none at all, since mods weren't really allowed in the competition. I like mods, miniguns and hoverblocks are fun, but I try to keep mods that add new blocks out of the videos, so the mods I mostly use are building tools: -EasyScale to change the size of the blocks through the attributes, which I find gives me more control than handle operated scaling mods -NoBounds which lets me change the attributes of blocks to any value without limits -Additive Loading to allow me to load multiple saved creations to combine them easily -Colliderscope which lets me see the actual hitboxes of blocks Generally, I try to use mods as little as possible, building with mods makes me feel like the product is less legitimate. It lessens the challenge, and breaks the vibe. I use scaling, because some of the blocks in the game are just inconveniently bulky, but when I do, I try not to go over a factor of two, because that usually leads to things not connecting properly.

Shh, I'm tryna seem international over here

They had a rule that said you were allowed to use hinges for steering, as long as they don't do any "meaningful work". I'm using hinges for more than just steering, and I wasn't really sure what exactly is meant by meaningful work. Also I needed a setup for the joke

@@vlastasusak6881 Oh, ok. Thing is, how would you make a piston engine without hinges? Why would hinges be banned and not anything else?

​@@bobi_lopataru It's a bit unsettling, but some people make the offsets in piston engines by calculating the angles using goniometric functions and inputting them manually with the rotate tool, and creating all sorts of wonky half connections to make it hold together, rather than just using hinges to rotate everything into place neatly. The point of the competition was to make a vehicle that is powered by a mechanism that converts linear power to rotational power, so you can use pistons, ropes, springs, water cannons, normal cannons, vacuums, bombs, rockets, and flying blocks, provided you're not using any of that to just push the vehicle directly. Therefore purely rotational elements like powered hinges, powered wheels and cogs, spinning blocks, saws, and drills are banned, with the exception of using them for steering. Maybe if you used the rotational elements to make a linear piston that then powers a linear to rotational mechanism, you could argue that is also ok

@@vlastasusak6881 wow, thank you a lot for explaining this in such detail! I get it now

Doesn’t suspension already exist?

@@tvbot6496 Yea, there is a suspension block, although it's not much like real car suspension. There are actually lots of videos of people making really impressive realistic suspension setups in this game- I even tried my hand at it myself, not an easy task.

Alright then

Good question, by building everything straight in the beginning, I can be sure everything is connected, so when I use the steering block to offset it, everything follows the things it's connected to, to bend and stretch into place. If I were to offset the crank manually, I would have to offset everything else manually too, which would mean using a bunch of undesirable math. Also rotating the crank changes it's distance from the pistons, and since pistons only connect to the thing they are right on top of, some of them would need to be half extended, which you can't do. This video is a reaction to Reid Captain's W piston engine video, if you watch it you will see how he has to put everything at odd angles and use two pistons per cylinder so he can make the first start out with both retracted, third both extended, and the other two one retracted and one extended, which I want to avoid.
