AMX 50B

[split needle]

Features an oscillating turret using clockwork, and an 8-charge cannon with 7 sec reload. Thanks to the turret being oscillated its possible to decorate the barrel

huh this is a rare one

oscillating turrets for the win

Bro is literally

[merry crane]

That turret is huge

[peak socket]

wait what loading mechanism does it use for 7 seconds?

does it spin at max or?

yea spins at 256 rpm

[peak socket]

thats cool

it doesnt fuse does it (it uses pre-fused shells i assume?) because when i was making an autoloader it was around 5.6 seconds from some crude timing

so i was curious how yours worked

[split needle]

Yea mine are pre-fused, I use a toolbox to store shells and a mechanical arm to feed the deployer.

adding fuses during reload isnt really worth it, made loaders like that before but theyre bulky

[peak socket]

what i did was put the deployer on the contraption and fed shells/charges in sequence using a cc computer

you can use contraption controls to stop it from attempting to place in the second movement

(like the deployer moves backwards just like yours and places, then the contraption controls activate so it doesnt try placing again so it doesnt place into a block, wasting the charge)

[split needle]

wouldnt the contraption control/deployer need to be part of a contraption to work in that case? Mine doesn't move the deployer as its designed to work with trains/interactive too. Deployers that are part of contraptions don't place shells onto interactive ships unless they are powered by a shaft. Otherwise they just place into the world.

[split needle]

Yea its got a big head but the real thing was yuge, couldnt really make it any smaller

[peak socket]

im not sure tbh, i havent placed it on a contraption yet

but the benefit is that its way faster since giving the deployer the item is the most time consuming step

but i personally use a smart observer to toggle the contraption control state and its pretty reliable

bro

stop cooking

[wise sequoia]

shit i need to finish mine, the turret is pretty good

its too big though

but thats for the loader ig

[split needle]

yea loader is 3x4x2 so couldnt really go any smaller unless I used a QF loader

[wise sequoia]

Would be cool to see u try also making a real size turret

[grand sentinel]

Holy shit it has moves
