__**It looks like you're trying to download Clockwork!**__

Get Clockwork from Modrinth

Clockwork requires:

Valkyrien Skies 2.4+ (lower versions are incompatible!)
Kotlin for forge (if on forge)
Create 6.0.8 (6.0.6 and lower create is incompatible!)

Clockwork now supports Create 6.0.8+, and is incompatible with VS 2.3

would outputting cool gasses with the nozzle work

That's a very good question though I'm not sure. Should have tried it before posting this. I'll check and come back

dry veldt would outputting cool gasses with the nozzle work

So I unless I am doing something wrong, it does not appear to be working that way.

does using a piston to open/close the envelope and let the hot air out work?

Yes that does work, any change to the balloon that opens it works

#

However it does not provide much control

#

isnt that how it works irl tho

#

It is how it works irl that's correct.

#

so the problem is like having it maintain a very specific temperature

We do have gas nozzle peripheral compat with cc now

worn steeple Jan 13, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

yea

granite rapids Jan 13, 2026, 5:10 PM

#

And I was wondering if it was interesting enough to explore other ideas for cooling balloons

#

Obviously even with CC, using a hatch for cooling is still possible

#

u could also control it on the gas generation side

#

tho tbh, I think that may be a design choice, since balloons as a method for lift are easier to use compared to propellers but will just have less control
