    I actually absolutely love orbital cannons, the thought of high-powered ordinance so high in the sky it's like god just said, "Die" and explodes an area. It's so scarily amazing! This was very cool to me.
    (Also he took the hard route at sustaining height, which is rather than using the hot air balloon blocks. Though it's best to have those mods that let you input a custom value for that.)

  • @gabenoodle6975
    @gabenoodle6975 Год назад +46

    A note on your original ballista, my guess as to why the bolt wouldn't fly correctly is that the center of mass was too far back. You want the center of mass of an arrow/bolt to be pretty much as far in front of the center of pressure as possible, which is my guess as to why the first bolt design almost worked but had some inconsistencies under high load. If you think about it, you want the air resistance to be a self correcting force, so you want those fletchings to be behind the center of mass so the more your bolt deviates from head on the more force is correcting it. I think that a weight in the point and less weight back by the fletchings would make it way more accurate and consistent. Would love to see a ballista with a sight or maybe a full bow from you at some point.

    A "messing around with bombs n stuff in Besiege" might be fun, like instead of building something just do a bunch of experimenting like seeing how many bombs you can explode at once before the game crashes.

Im sure a big part of your audience would find that interesting, and it's definitely a unique concept!
