I think it would work with one, at least in theory. It just works a lot better with two rotors. The whole thing is kinda like a mass-spring-system, with the rotors acting as the spring. You want the resonant frequency of it to match the frequency you driving it with, which is 30 Hz. When I first experimented with mass-shift drives I tried playing around with the spring stiffness by putting varying numbers of rotors in series or parallel, and using two in series consistently gave the best results.
So it works due to the fact that the items travel up and down the row of ~~pistons~~ rotors instanteneously, without exerting any force, but do exert force when pushed/pulled along with the container?
speed runs are at less than 10 mins atm :) This sure is faster than my fastest run of 15:50 :) Really cool stuff. Now that you shown this... I remember I had a Dual small advenced rotor mod installed..... 😈
the question is: what qualifies as an SE speedrun? to collect platinum and uranium? to reach every planet? this game is more like a creative sandbox than a survival game
This game is so broken ^^ its not even funny, when my rover stays still everything inside still wiggles. crazy to think that they couldnt resolve this shit in all those years.

You have to be freaking kidding me. That's awesome dude.
just realized
if it goes by weight then one of these with 4 "wings" of heavy armour attached could literally make the ornithopter from dune
From what I understand it goes by weight but that weight needs to be shifted (so cargo containers are used). But still sounds like a possibility.
Is there a reason your mass shift drives all use TWO advanced rotors in series? Will it not work with just one?

Because he's gonna be going over the ocean.

Yes
I'm just imagining the kinds of small grid planes that could be build with the aerodynamics mod.
People making supercarriers, clang drives, custom deployable turrets, and you have me who struggles to make a spaceship even take off.

Nice, i cant beat 16
@@donwackyaids1771 Its a luck thing too. It is very time consuming and stressful :)
how small do you think you could make a clang gun now with the small rotor?
i just remembered that small rotors already existed, it's just the conveyor that's the difference. shush
this puts splitsies speedruns to shame xD
He needs to see this

I once moved an entire corvette using a door and a rotor. It was epic. Until I got banned for using clang drives. People werent ready for it
Do you think it's possible to be fast enough to build the drive before the pod touches the ground? Lol
inter-stellar ornithopter *intensifies*
Damn cool ship
Gonk :]
gonk
@@cardboard9124 Gonk :D
So you build a sky car that actually works?
Is it possible in vanilla?
Sweet design
Is there a way to do this on xbox?
No need to add anti gravity propulsion in space engineers when clang drives exist
Imagine just space engineers devs come here... Just say "STOP BREAKING OUR GAME FFS D:"
Then leave
Wow.
I want this game so bad but i dont yave the money for it
