So a while back I saw a post by @shrewd vigil about a merchant flying boat thingy, and I put it upon myself to take that same idea but make it a land vehicle. Now I'm here to explain why this is not going anywhere and I'd have to restart. It took me a long time to even finish this build and at the end I was honestly just not happy, the engine definitely made it heavy on one side and the original storage compartment is now the engine room which I really disliked, besides that I wanted to add a second floor but If I did, then this would've looked more like a double decker bus which is not the ideal theme, so I'll be restarting this and if you want the schematic for this then hit me up, and I can post it here

bro ._.

shrewd vigil
#

You should try the factory must grow engines if the version is compatible

#

Make it like a diesel punk merchant hauler, kinda looking like the old Soviet artic explorer vehicle

loud wagon
#

ok i'll check it out

shrewd vigil
#

Or something similar to this

loud wagon
#

wait a sec

#

holy shit

#

is so pretty

shrewd vigil
#

You can make them a lot bigger than the one you made as well, giving you a bit more freedom in terms of design

loud wagon
#

aight

#

btw i didn't add as much blue since i went for that steampunk type vibe

#

alsao i'm checking out the factory must grow but it js ain't the theme i'm going for

shrewd vigil
#

Cause if you think about it, it's a land ship, so it would need to be bigger for crew accomodations and a cargo hold

shrewd vigil
#

It does have some nice block pallets tho

loud wagon
#

ye i saw

#

also u might've saw

#

but there r 2 suspensions for wheels at the front so it can climb hills but the rest r tracks

shrewd vigil
#

Yee

#

For ground vehicles, functionality comes first for design

loud wagon
#

ye

#

also i got an idea alr

fast scarab
#

2 weeks away from building and I'm prehistoric

#

nice

loud wagon
#

also i am making this vehicle mainly for u, and uh how many rooms do u need for this

loud wagon
fast scarab
#

still got 2 more to go clueless

loud wagon
#

actually i take back what i said abt the schem thing cuz imma erase it from the face of the earth

#

@shrewd vigil u alive?

fast scarab
#

nope she ded

loud wagon
#

xd

loud wagon
#

alr imma work on this soon not now tho

late shard
#

it looks rlly nice!

#

are u gonna use trackwork or physics wheels

loud wagon
#

both xd

late shard
#

nvm i see 💀

late shard
loud wagon
#

ye nah cuz i suck literal fucking balls at making wheels but treads r shit half of the time

loud wagon
loud wagon
late shard
#

WHAT

#

WHY

#

YOU MONSTER DONT GET RID OF YOUR MASTERPIECE 😭

loud wagon
#

bro i failed it

late shard
#

Howww u didnt even finishh

loud wagon
#

exterior is finished and i alr know how the mechanics r gonna work

#

basically i wanted to do something much more grand for it

#

but with this current one i can't

late shard
#

howso?

loud wagon
#

wait gimme a sec i need to rage to my homie

late shard
#

mhm

loud wagon
#

alr i'm back

#

and alr lemme explain

#

basically what i origionally wanted to do was follow up my series of land crawler vehicles

#

so i made one, probably the hardest one i've done yet due to all the detailing, and this one i got rid of was actually supposed to be the finished product since i didn't realise the current one had so many problems

#

for starters the old engine design overstressed too easily and the new one is too hefty and i also have to make a second bottom floor

late shard
#

diesel engine right?

loud wagon
#

mhm

late shard
#

huge ones?

#

theyre a pain😭

loud wagon
#

i actually wanted steam engine but then i js said fuck it

#

because of how quickly it overstressed

late shard
#

yeah..

#

ironically theyre weaker trying to make it mobile

#

how much power does it even take?

#

the whole ship is mean

loud wagon
#

the ideal speed is 125 rpm

#

at least that is for the wheels and treads

#

since 125 rpm is fast and doesn't overstress the encased i forgot wtf it was called

#

not chain drive

#

i'm talking abt the one that can make encased chain drives faster

late shard
#

ik

#

i also forgot the name of it tho

#

dont have enough room for a level 9 engine right?

loud wagon
#

in this one no

#

next one probably

late shard
#

i see. ig youre starting from scratch again 😭

loud wagon
#

yup

late shard
#

i wish u luck, i rlly love your designs btw

shrewd vigil
#

Yes hello

#

@loud wagon SChello

loud wagon
#

yo

loud wagon
#

i literally js got back

#

oh ye so basically how many rooms should it be

#

should it be i mean

#

also bedrooms and other types of rooms in general

#

yk like kitchen, crafting area, secret gun compartment

shrewd vigil
#

You should have a single shared living space, since otherwise you'd be trying to shove too many rooms into it

#

So something like a bunk rack built into the hull with trunks and cabinets for all crew members

#

A canteen for cooking and eating, maybe a living space for people to relax, bathroom for hygiene

#

If it's a merchant vehicle, cargo hold with access to a crane

#

Engine compartment, main deck, a bridge/command center

#

Easy access for maintenance

#

And then anything else that fits the vibe you're going for with it

fast scarab
#

So.. barotrauma subs but with truck

#

Camel, but truck

strong robin
loud wagon
#

no?

#

holy shit can y'alls ping me

strong robin
#

ive never done it before but i assume the formula should be relatively the sameshrug

loud wagon
#

i got the vs server on mute

loud wagon
#

i think i'll do one more as an exploration vehicle and i can do the other as like a delivery type boat with wheels type vehicle

kool :D

But I'm waiting to build a new PC first

loud wagon

@shrewd vigil bro i js checked ur banner

man fuck this

loud wagon

strong robin
shrewd vigil
#

I've got them all picked out, I'm just waiting for money

#

Gonna buy them one by one, starting with the case, then the motherboard

#

Cause it'll be easier to install everything overtime that way instead of all in one go

strong robin
#

wait so u wont be able to make or post projects till its done? or u have another computer but isnt as efficient

shrewd vigil
#

I have a computer, but after playing for 2 hours, I gotta stop for a bit

#

It's the hybrid drive

#

I gotta replace it with SSDs

strong robin
#

ah i see

#

how long will it take for your new one to be complete

shrewd vigil
#

All the parts new are around 3200

#

But that's cause it's over built

#

I don't wanna have to do anything to it for the next 5-10 years

loud wagon
shrewd vigil
#

He munchy

loud wagon
#

borgir

loud wagon
#

alright imma start workin on the thingy

#

only problem ._.

#

idk if i should do wheels or tracks

#

wheels are harder to work with but they can go on more terrain

#

tracks r easier to work with but it's hard for them to climp anything, unless i add another suspension to it

shrewd vigil
#

@loud wagon peep the mess that is frame building

shrewd vigil
loud wagon
#

i'm indecisive as shit

loud wagon
#

i think i'll start with the crew version

#

so that way i don't have to care abt aethetics that much

#

hmmm i kinda need a colour palet

#

@shrewd vigil u got any ideas?

shrewd vigil
loud wagon
#

oh yo

shrewd vigil
loud wagon
#

hmm

#

for the first one i kinda want a cargo type feel

#

the second one more... idk actually

#

the second one i can js wing it

shrewd vigil
#

If it's steampunk, brass and bronze colors with oxidized copper works, and then some black colors to match

loud wagon
#

but the first one needs a very specific theme tho

shrewd vigil
#

And then add extra colors where you see fit

loud wagon
#

maybe i can go for the same colour scheme as the one i made before

shrewd vigil
#

It's easier to copy it and replace it instead of trying to mimic everything I did on the other side

shrewd vigil
loud wagon
#

yo u rly can make ships

#

can u gimme sum advice since i'd have to make a lot of ships in the future

shrewd vigil
#

Honestly it's not too hard

#

At least I don't think it is

loud wagon
#

aight

#

btw

#

this the shit i want to make

#

wait... if i can control how much the treads can turn on a phys bearing, i could give treads suspension

shrewd vigil
#

I get to mess with diesel generators now

#

Yay

#

This is what I got so far

#

And I know diesel generators are a pain to mess with on creative, because for some weird reason, the fluids from it aren't spawnable using the creative tank

fast scarab
shrewd vigil
#

This was too much effort to learn

shrewd vigil
#

Steel casing, overburden casing, industrial casing, and zink casing for the floors/decks

#

I'm eepy

#

Time to sleepy

#

Full sized 12 cylinder

#

It needs a secondary radial engine to actually start it up

#

Note, the thing is extremely fuel hungry

#

So I'll have to add auxilary tanks in the hold

#

This thing is effectively a DB9 or something

fast scarab
#

Boiler seems more practical

#

But that engine looks sick ngl

strong robin
#

how much su?

strong robin
loud wagon
#

ye we is doing that

fast scarab
#

jsyk, mixing tracks and wheels kinda just lends you the worst of both worlds

#

bumpy ride from wheels and slow speed from tracks..

strong robin
#

cant make the tracks faster?

strong robin
fast scarab
#

track are speed capped, suspension doesn't help much if the track itself isn't stiff

#

speaking of which, I might be getting back to making more of those designs

loud wagon
#

shi

#

thx for telling me this before i made them

#

also it’s almost done

#

it looks like shit rn but it’s fine

strong robin
#

lets see it 🙏

loud wagon
#

ehh nrn

#

we is working on it

loud wagon
#

alr current grogress

#

ignore the fact that the copycats ain't filled in, it's js a visual bug

loud wagon
#

just so you guys know, this project might get delayed

#

@fast scarab prolly saw this alr

#

but basically a friend of mine assembled it when i told him not to 4 fucking times

strong robin
strong robin
#

i fuck with it

loud wagon

#

That and I'm trying to see how diesel engines function

#

And how big/small I can make them

#

There are other smaller engines in the mod as well, so I'll design other ships with those too

fast scarab
#

Those can have lubricant and some stuffs added I think, and is the 1.5x the output of a diesel engine 2dstare

#

Too well balanced, little fun

shrewd vigil
#

You can add lube to the diesel engine as well

#

It's just I don't wanna bother fiddling with that yet

fast scarab
#

Lul

shrewd vigil
#

I gotta make the hull and bulkheads larger to make the engine able to accept that and have the space for all the tanks

#

I also gotta update the mod I think, there's some weird shit with it not draining buckets and the creative tank not working with fluids from it

fast scarab
#

Tfmg is cool, really cool but at the current state its more of a hassle

#

Works really well if you want to fill up larger space with cool machinery tho

shrewd vigil
#

Actually I think I'ma call this just a test bed ship

#

Like it's a part of the world's ship building history

loud wagon
#

hehe funni engine

image.png
shrewd vigil
#

Where they tried to see about making big diesel ships for hauling cargo, and learned that the tech is not advanced enough to be used by anything that isn't shipping companies

#

I'ma make it a decently sized cargo ship

#

Not a large one

#

No, I have yet to build a massive ship like that yet

#

And will not until I'm ready to bother with that

loud wagon
#

wait wut going on

#

me is confuse confuse

#

oh ye lil update

#

me and my homie hugged it out and now we is making it again

#

we made a system so that we can go on both smooth and rough terrain

shrewd vigil
#

I might just scrap it and build it bigger

loud wagon
#

nah bro just but all ur ideas on that small ship

#

look at it and go "ye i fucking hate it"

#

and make it the thing u want to make but with good inspiration in mind

shrewd vigil
#

I mean I have a copy of half of the hull

#

It's not hard to rebuild it X3

loud wagon
#

aight

#

btw

#

is this enough cargo space?

shrewd vigil
#

That should be

#

That's up to you

loud wagon
#

the main body is close to finishing

shrewd vigil
#

Ok I have to redesign it

#

Because suddenly the engine no longer works

#

The radial engine that's used as a starter has decided to just refuse to function

#

Not gonna redo the entire ship

#

Just gonna rip out the 12 cylinder

shrewd vigil
#

It is now a 6 cylinder

#

With lube and coolant inputs

strong robin
#

id start the rumbling if some shit like that happened to me ☠️🙏

strong robin
loud wagon
#

btw what time is it for y'alls?

strong robin
#

exactly 6:00

strong robin
loud wagon
#

like 5k or something

shrewd vigil
#

Honestly it's kinda hard to get away from the classic inline 6 or v6

strong robin
#

howso

strong robin
loud wagon
#

ye

#

thankfully the only thing my homie did abt the phys object that was actually useful was making me realise a major design flaw

#

which was that the hand crank to activate the engine was in between 3 cog wheels which makes it impossible to turn and overstresses it

#

and it doesn't pump in the water, all i had to do was change it to the one that pumps water and now it should just suck up the water and do it's thing

shrewd vigil
#

Ok so that engine doesn't work

#

Cause apparently the fuel needs to go directly in instead of in the stupid frigging expansion blocks

#

Alright I'm too hungry to brain power now

#

Time to get pizzer

loud wagon
#

ayo i live in za italia

#

don't dissapoint my homies

#

they will come and get u

shrewd vigil
#

I'd make my own, but I don't have the stuff to make it by hand rn :c

#

So I gotta order american pizza

#

And be disappointed by cheap shit that's over priced

loud wagon
#

ah yes a slice o freedom

#

bro pizza prices everywhere else is a literal scam

#

u buy a pizza that is like the size of an ipad

#

20 euros

#

(fyi i don't use usd so ummm ye)

shrewd vigil
#

Bf took me to olive garden when we went to go see dune part 2

loud wagon
#

but in italy

shrewd vigil
#

Cause I miss eating italian food and fish

loud wagon
#

u get a giant fucking pizza and it's only like fuckin 10 euros

shrewd vigil
#

And I've never been so disappointed by 5 cheese pasta in my life

shrewd vigil
loud wagon
#

ooooo

#

funnis

shrewd vigil
#

I spend $15 here, and I get a 14 inch

loud wagon
#

don't be one of them mfs that r like

#

"my family is italian 3dsmile "

#

and it's js ur great great great grandmother ate a slice of pizza

#

and u say u got italian genes

shrewd vigil
#

Nu, it's my grandpa was actually italian

loud wagon
#

:O

shrewd vigil
#

Italian from my mom's side, and irish from my dad's

loud wagon
#

#

btw i'm not european, i js live here, it is quite chill here

#

no free speech no 2nd amendment nothing

#

its complete tyranny

shrewd vigil
#

IT'S WORKING

#

Finally

#

I gotta add an auxilary engine to work as a starter

#

But it works finally, and keeps working

#

It runs at 128 RPM

#

Now I just gotta squeeze that into my ship

#

Run all the pipes, figure out where to place the auxilary engine

#

And it'll be good to go

strong robin
#

are u gonna make a balloon?

shrewd vigil
#

Something

#

Idk yet

#

Call me chris chan cause "I'm working on it"

#

I'ma go play crosscode tho

#

Cause I wanna

strong robin
#

okay chrisso chan

#

go have fun

shrewd vigil
#

It sucks that there isn't a small diesel engine like how there is for the gasoline and low grade petrol engines

strong robin
#

wellll i mean there is

#

just not in the same mod 💀

shrewd vigil
#

I know of the other diesel engine mod

#

I don't like that one too much tbh

#

I can just have a small 1 cylinder for kick starting the machine I suppose

#

Or a radial gasoline engine

strong robin
#

you want to use one specifically for kickstarting the engine?

shrewd vigil
#

You have too

#

Otherwise I have to separate everything a ton so you can hand crank each and every pump until it kicks on

#

Easiest thing to do is have a clutch and the starter, engage it when you want the engine on, and then disengage when it's running and you want the ship to run on it

strong robin
#

why not do that

shrewd vigil
strong robin
#

finished it?

shrewd vigil
#

No, I've been eepy and playing crosscode again
