I need name suggestions, and when I made it I didn't have what I wanted it's purpose to be in mind. Though I guess it works as a private vehicle for transport and cargo, or whatever you wanna adapt it for. I used an image on pinterest as a reference for the shape but the build is of my doing.

schem?

#

Nice blimp

#

Reminder for me to ask for the schem once I finish the physjammer and need a ship to show it off on

coral arrow
#

:0 i'll provide it, although once it's put down and infused it needs a few things to be fixed, mostly cause of bugs and one small thing i forgot:

Replace a few belts, since they break after the ship is infused
Refill in 2 water logged blocks in the engine's pump
Replace a green dye for a white dye on the controls, i forgor that

#

make sure to superglue the flaps on the back too

#

Jam the physics core between two hammers to stop the ship in mid air while making a shit ton of sparks and electricity stuff

#

Basically eureka anchor but cool

coral arrow
#

So itll function as a mid air break? Or more extreme than that?

vast crown
#

It looks really cool!

wintry frost
#

is it just me or is the schematic just empty?

lapis tiger
#

oh nvm

#

realized someone else asked lol

coral arrow
#

LMAO IT IS

#

IM SO SORRY

amber prawn
#

can i please get schematic of this?

#

trying to understand the mod this would help greatly

stiff quarry
#

so are we getting a new schem?

coral arrow
#

i'll provide one today, apologies

coral arrow
#

have fun :) at me here if yall got any questions

stiff quarry
#

YIPPEEE

amber prawn
#

hell yeah nice one gonna check this later

amber prawn
#

hi I can't seem to get it down after it got up i think i understand the controls the speed controller in the control room should be up and down right?

#

also can't seem to figure out what space does on the linked controller

coral arrow
#

space doesn't do anything

#

well thats where the not so fun part is: it really is slow to go down

#

you just gotta turn off the ballooner clutch and wait

amber prawn
#

Anyway amazing build nice cockpit learned a lot

#

Can't wait to use this schematic in survival when the mod drops

#

Makes for a mad flying base

stiff quarry
#

mod drops?

#

clockwork is out

fickle jackal
#

What addon does it need?

#

Seems like I'm missing a few blocks

coral arrow
#

create deco

coral arrow
fickle jackal
#

How do I get it to float?

#

Falls like a rock when assembled

coral arrow
#

turn on the steam engine

#

turn off the clutch at the command cabin

#

and let it fill up for a minute

fickle jackal
#

I see

#

Ty

#

Is there a way to keep the balloon at a stable level without rising or falling?

amber prawn
#

Doesn't the speed controller do this?

#

I had the feeling i was controlling height with that

coral arrow
#

so a lower speed will make it lose heat faster then descend, but it takes a few minutes to fully land

#

try and monitor your Y level, changing the speed so you can be balanced without rising or falling

coral arrow
fickle jackal
#

I see, ty

glacial dust
#

why is it pumping from nothing

coral arrow
#

put water into that hole

#

schematics don't copy liquids sometimes

glacial dust
#

is it supposed to be flooded like this
(i deleted the previous one because it was too broken)

coral arrow
#

no lmao

#

its only that corner

#

i had put trapdoors in there

#

to stop the water

#

but they're from create deco

#

ig you don't have it

grizzled ferry
#

man I love ur blimp

#

can you please make vid on how to set it up?

#

nvm

#

I figured it out

#

anyways do the rudders act as an air brake?

grizzled ferry
#

apparently they do

coral arrow
#

yep they do

grizzled ferry
#

this for deco?

#

and these the actual balloons?

#

I added a prop below hehe

#

for getting up/down quickly

coral arrow
#

yeah, the actual ballons are inside

#

well, does it work?

grizzled ferry
#

yessir

#

i modified the control room a bit as well

coral arrow
#

hmm, makes me want to add my own vertical propellers

grizzled ferry
#

its perfect

#

it makes the blimp hover exactly 1 block above the surface

#

omg

coral arrow
#

goddamn :0

#

at what speed?

#

i'm assuming you're using a resistor to control it

#

what's the max you keep it at?

#

also what ballooner speed

grizzled ferry
#

all max :P

#

I don't see any difference with speeds on the ballooner honestly

#

the ballooner is just a wierd thing for me cuz im a plane guy

#

the ship just doesn't want to come down now even tho I have the balloners turned off and have "Engine #5" to down

coral arrow
#

i think it got too much air

#

perhaps try keeping the ballooner rpm at 48~

hard gorge
#

what a beaut

grizzled ferry
#

oh i think i get it

#

more rpm = more air in the ballon = more time required for it to deflate
