My new exploration airship

[normal dew]

he doesn't have a name yet

[strong gulch]

yoooo

i really like the clouds

and the air ship

not many clockworks air ships

[normal dew]

yeah ik right

its a shame

[strong gulch]

fr

[normal dew]

well the control is unfortunately a bit wonky

[lunar berry]

Looks really nice, but a bit too open and clean for my taste

[normal dew]

wdym by open ?

[lunar berry]

I mean that there is a lot of open space inside and less small hallways

[normal dew]

ohhh

[limpid zenith]

how does it fly

[lunar berry]

It is really nice too, but I prefer it a bit more cramped to be honest

[normal dew]

it use ballon from tournament

[lunar berry]

Though the living room is pretty ideal, I mean more the workshop area

[normal dew]

btw

[lunar berry]

Anyway, it's just different tastes

[normal dew]

do you want to know why i use furnace here instead of fan ?

[lunar berry]

Because of fires breaking out?

[normal dew]

bc for some reason

they dont work on vs ship

[lunar berry]

Well the catalysts and similar blocks don't work, only the real things, so actual lava works for me

[normal dew]

not even this

[lunar berry]

And I fixed the fire problem in my ship by using copycat blocks to pretend it's wood

[lunar berry]

That's weird

For me the inputs for machines didn't work, the millstone and the basins for example, that's why I put hoppers above them

[normal dew]

yeah

item cannot be inputed by simply dropped them

exept the funnel

[limpid zenith]

try the fans horizontally

[lunar berry]

If I made that ship I would have probably made it 2 stories for half the ship, I like small and winding hallways and rooms, and I like to cramp as much function into small buildings as possible

Don't take that as critique, I am just thinking aloud

Okay but I just saw the one thing I always hate and is used way too much in my opinion: Trapdoors as decorations.
It always triggers me if you can ruin the aesthetic just by interacting with an intractable block, all trapdoors I use have a use (mostly to close windows).
Of course most people don't have a problem with that, it is just something I personally hate.

[normal dew]

i have a question
does anyone here ave tried to do a propeler only airship ?

[normal dew]

i use copycat to make them uniteractable

[lunar berry]

Not yet, but it is a plan for me when the server finally runs

[lunar berry]

Nice, that fixes it for me

Though I still would use a different design for consistency (I am a bit autistic in that regard)

Similar things that piss me off are barrels as decoration, why should I be able to put resources inside pillars and other important structures?

Or I found a building in one of the random structure mods for my pack that uses looms as floor and ceiling, so every time you right click the ground the loom menu opens, it's these small things that annoy me the most

But enough of my rambling, great ship, I really like it.

[normal dew]

ty

[lunar berry]

Argh, didn't see that

But I'm repeating myself, don't take me too serious here

[normal dew]

also copycat

[lunar berry]

Thanks

[normal dew]

what server ?

[lunar berry]

The server I want to start for my friends and me, that's what I made my modpack for (though it still needs a lot of optimization)

Okay, I do have one serious criticism, the logs on the bottom, probably landing gear, hurt the overall shape a bit.
I would either remove them or make them be retractable with create.

Maybe a mechanical piston as landing gear would work

[normal dew]

maybe you are right

[lunar berry]

By the way, are there doors on both sides or only on the right of the ship?

Because I really like the balconies and would make sure that both are actually accessable

[normal dew]

on side but its more for ship stability

[lunar berry]

Balconies and catwalks are some of my favorite parts on airship

[normal dew]

aslo ive made this

[lunar berry]

I see, I personally would try to get in a door on the other side as well somewhere

[lunar berry]

Is that a hose pulley?

No it's not

What is the block next to the rope pulley (or whatever it was called in Supplementaries)

Oh, a turntable, right?

[normal dew]

yeah

[lunar berry]

Okay I was confusing myself there

Probably because of this

I thought it was part of the block

What is that?

[normal dew]

from design and decor

[lunar berry]

Ah okay, I have that mod but never used that switch

Really nice

I have a simple hand crank for the rope

Last question from me (I am already starting to annoy myself here), do you still work on the ship or is it considered done?

[normal dew]

i think i consider it done

[lunar berry]

I still try to improve and change some things about mine every now and then

[lunar berry]

Okay, nice

[normal dew]

also

i have 15 fps

[lunar berry]

Yeah, same for me

[normal dew]

but i think its bc of simple clouds

[lunar berry]

XD

I played with both simple clouds and without, both have the same amount of frames for me

[normal dew]

oh

[lunar berry]

I added it relatively late into making the pack, my ship was already laggy long before and I didn't find any noticable difference while testing simple clouds

[normal dew]

i see

[normal dew]

i have a modpack with alot of optimisation if you want

[lunar berry]

I recommend just testing all variations, disabling the mod, enabling the mod, with ship, without ship, just see what changes the fps

[lunar berry]

Thanks, but I worked a long time on mine and have a specific vision there

[normal dew]

what version

[lunar berry]

1.20.1

[normal dew]

me too

[lunar berry]

It is apparently the most popular version for modding at the moment

[normal dew]

yah

btw can i see your airship ?

[lunar berry]

Sure, it's still the other post here, the "Rinser of Winds"

[normal dew]

OHHH its this one

[lunar berry]

Yeah

You showed a picture of your ship there before, I recognized it and wanted to see more

[normal dew]

ok

[lunar berry]

Mine is more for a small crew, yours is more for a singular person

That reminds me, I actually made another small airship for shorter transportations

I still have a picture, one moment

This one, it doesn't have much design as I made it in a short time to pick a freshly joined friend up from the spawn

Under deck there are 2 beds, some storage barrels and several ship engines for speed

Back then the Rinser of Winds didn't have and propulsion yet and was slow as hell

Ah, found the pictures of the inside

Very basic, it was only for function

And just because I just found it, 2 pictures from the early building progress of the Rinser of Winds.

Makes me nostalgic, even though it was less than a year ago

Damn, every time I start to ramble on about stuff, sorry for that.

[lunar berry]

Okay one more thing because it feels like it could be misunderstood, my advice, criticism and the comparisons to my ship aren't supposed to mean that I think my ship is better than yours (though obviously I personally like mine way more), in fact I think yours is way better made in several ways.
Had several misunderstandings in similar context of people who believe me to be delusional about my own skill, so I want to clarify that.

[severe heart]

This looks amazing

Great work

[silk sleet]

I did

Look at ma older posts

[mystic idol]

me but never posted them they in fact really versatile

[open stratus]

How did you balance it and make it look good at same time? Mine looks so damn ugly on the inside due to balance issues 😭

If ur not using the ship helm, are you using the gyro?

[normal dew]

nop

good old balancing

[brazen cosmos]

schem pls?
