[QUOTE=laserpanda;47101903]Boulders are amazing. Now you can make lighter chaos engines without setting everything on fire.[/QUOTE]
How fast is it compared to the fire orb?
[QUOTE=Xonax;47101925]How fast is it compared to the fire orb?[/QUOTE]
Speed seems the same when attached to something heavy. Mainly useful for planes where the extra weight of the fire orb can be a problem.
[QUOTE=PaperBurrito;47101894]oh shit we got gears now[/QUOTE]
they're only 1:1, though.
I imagine gear ratios will come sooner or later.
The boulder is substantially heavier than the other projectiles. It is so heavy that, from my quick testing, it can't replace the fireball of a Chaos Engine. Seems it just breaks the connection the grabber has to whatever is supporting it. Or just breaks whatever is supporting it. A reworked Chaos Engine might, but that is a lot of unnecessary added weight.
[editline]8th February 2015[/editline]
In fact the fireball is the lightest projectile. The bomb is just barely heavier, and the spikeball is somewhat heavier, but the boulder absolutely dwarfs them.
oh shit, gears?
we're about to see some real shit fellas. I thought i was clever for making the first engine but fuck, there's some amazing shit out there.
Do Chaos Engines still work after the patch?
I hope they keep that in for shits and giggles.

Some shots of the breakage with a simple Chaos Engine.

[QUOTE=Saza;47102061]they're only 1:1, though.
I imagine gear ratios will come sooner or later.[/QUOTE]They do say (Medium) on them so doubtlessly there will be other sizes. Otherwise why specify size at all, since its consistent with a wheel or sawblade?
[editline]8th February 2015[/editline]
Also, the half-pipes are interesting, I imagine they'll find use in reloading systems for weapons.
Chaos Engines do work with boulders, however I only use 2 sawblades.
Also, it produces a LOT more torque on the frame holding it, which was annoying to stabilize.
for reference, this is my chaos engine

with a boulder, I have to add struts on one side to prevent it from flipping and whatnot
Can't really find a use for the 1:1 gears just yet.
I'd like if the new passive wheels had an option to be locked, so that you could for instance put them on gears and use the gears as engine.
[editline]9th February 2015[/editline]
Also, wheels and gears are the same size. This is a problem. We need larger wheels.
I can currently not find a way of driving a vehicle using gears.
Has anyone found a way to build a winch? I built a giant crossbow and I'm looking for a way to reload it.

You might have some luck re-purposing tank treads for a winch.
This is what I had when putting together my tank.

Add more braces!!!
When in doubt, add braces.
Just found game
I dont own it but I already got my chaos engine ideas formulating... MUAHAHA

I stole your idea a bit and made a vehicle out of it:

i can't figure cogs out
I can't figure out how to make a gearbox that can switch from forward to reverse.
If anyone has an idea about that, tell me.

I actually had making a vehicle in mind, hence the gear transmission of sorts at the back (though, I've since moved it down and the wheels are below the frame of the engine.

Sweet work tho

Who needs cannons?

Made some improvements.
It can now reverse and it has a wicked suspension system.
However, the reversing is not really what I want it to be (not chaos powered)

[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;47103366]I just got this game, what are chaos engines and the "ice wall"?[/QUOTE]
Chaos engines are engines that convert the incredible speed of the saw blades to usable torque.
Basically, do this.
Wheel, wheel (or multiples of 2, I use 2), block, fireball
Delete block, replace with grabber
Delete second wheel, replace with saw
Delete first wheel, replace with saw
And you're done. It will have intense rotation and will flip most things unless managed correct.
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;47103366]I just got this game, what are chaos engines and the "ice wall"?[/QUOTE]
*ninjad on chaos engine explanation*
The Ice Wall is the height limit in the game. Fly a specific amount upwards with flying blocks, and they'll freeze and become unusable.
This limit is surpassed easily with flying machines based on chaos engines.
[QUOTE=ElectricSquid;47103366]I just got this game, what are chaos engines and the "ice wall"?[/QUOTE]
The ice wall is at the northern end of the map and it keeps the chaos engines trapped north of the wall.
[del]The ice wall is basically the upper limit of the map. If you fly too high, your shit freezes and crumbles apart. Chaos engines are an exploit (of sorts) made out of a stack of sawblades, a grabber and a flaming ball. Making them's more complicated than just jamming all the parts together, so you'll have to find the construction video in this thread somewhere, but they're basically jet engines if you do them right.[/del]

Goddamnit now all I have is my joke!

Using the boulder in the chaos engine just gives you WAAAY too much torque :v:
Here's the file for the vehicle: [url]http://puu.sh/fFG7Z.bsg[/url]
Fireball variant, of course. Arrow keys to control. As with most chaos engine contraptions, it only works with invincibility.
