The Brass Dragon

[vague lake]

need inspo for name ideas btw

[celest grotto]

maybe the butter icarus ?

[vague lake]

maybe

icarus part is cool tho

[drifting shadow]

The flathead

[vague lake]

the main armor is made of brass and the underbelly is steel (deepslate)

how is it btw?

i spent a lot of time on it

i need to add some details tho

[celest grotto]

its cool but looks a tad bit heavy

[vague lake]

maybe some exposed machinery and antennae and radars and stuff

[vague lake]

?

[celest grotto]

ore blocks like brass and stone like deepslate are pretty heavy#

[vague lake]

ohh

yea im lowk going for that feel

a big heavy massive and imposing airship

it wont be heavily armed tho

its mostly a massive mobile base

[celest grotto]

you should have tendrils coming out of rippling holes that could be cool

[vague lake]

maybeee

[hidden grail]

the brass rod? idk, it came to my head

[vague lake]

but that would be a bit too fantasy idk

[vague lake]

lowk fire

https://klipy.com/gifs/blackbeard-blackbeard-writing

[vague lake]

maybe instead of tendrils its pipes and tanks and stuff

[celest grotto]

yes

[vague lake]

i need some good reference pics for that tho

up until now its mostly just my creative process, i havent taken much inspo

well

except for brickfarmer10's "the host"

you should check it out its fire

[celest grotto]

im currently designing something with articulated wings you could add something like that too

[vague lake]

yeaa i have another idea for a ship, articulated wings could work for that

but not this one cuz the wings are just aesthetic

its gonna have rocket engines on the bottom to hover

[celest grotto]

im currently doing insect style wings and i can say its a hell to programm them with cc

[vague lake]

💔

im too dumb to use cc

wait hold on how do you even program rotation with cc

[celest grotto]

peripherals

[vague lake]

isnt that for the sequenced gearshift?

[vague lake]

dang

never heard of it cuz never used cc

[celest grotto]

theres also direct interaction with the phys bearings from clockwork without rotation

[vague lake]

oh

thats so awesomesauce :))

[wooden pasture]

what the fuuuuuff is that sheees?, why so big

[coral tide]

holy goated texturing

[drifting shadow]

The brass funnel

@vague lake

[vague lake]

ouuuuu

goated name

[vague lake]

its gonna be a masssive mobile base

its like 25 blocks in diameter and 100 blocks long i think

[vague lake]

axiom noise painter is the goat

[drifting shadow]

Thank you

My naming is good my bulding is bad

https://tenor.com/view/joker-laugh-insane-crazy-like-clockwork-gif-24251876

[vague lake]

🥀

[cyan yoke]

how would this even fly with all this weight

[vague lake]

Rocket engines on the bottom

[cyan yoke]

then how is it an airship then 🥀

[bright mango]

this should def be a parasite (aircraft) carrier

[vague lake]

it just is ok

[vague lake]

thats a really cool idea, but rn its a massive mobile flying base

[cyan yoke]

no

it's a ship then

[bright mango]

imagine if it would have a landing strip inside like this

[cyan yoke]

i mean the top is also a good place for that since it's clear of any obstructions

[bright mango]

somtimes if you have ships on each other they can slide off

[vague lake]

thats changed now

theres a deck on the top now

with radars and stuff

[bright mango]

ok

[vague lake]

im seeing the vision

but thats not its purpose

its a massive mobile base

maybe ill make another one like the one ur saying

[bright mango]

i could make the "parasites"

[vague lake]

ooo

[bright mango]

i think this would be cool (im just saying)

[carmine flame]

Holy brass usage 😭

That is gonna be heavy and expensive asf

[bright mango]

what's the modpack?

(the name should be brass dragon because it uses rockets)

[vague lake]

PERFECT

BRASS DRAGON

OMG

HOLY PEAK

[vague lake]

i know

but its not all brass

its mostly carnolite from create garnished

aka the create nutz mod

[vague lake]

its in progress rn but ive called it steam and roses

[bright mango]

ok

[vague lake]

i wanna add a few more qol/vanilla+ mods and resource packs

[bright mango]

if you make a server im definetly joining

[vague lake]

hell yeah

https://klipy.com/gifs/garp-dap-up-one-piece-dap

[bright mango]

hell yeah

[opal urchin]

@vague lake has 52 karma ❤️. Next role upgrade after 48 more karma

[opal urchin]

@bright mango has 875 karma ❤️. Next role upgrade after 1125 more karma

[bright mango]

gotta be orang

because of the smoke

[vague lake]

ouuu

mkay

[vague lake]

ok ive finnaly decided for a theme sort of

its gonna be a luxury cruiser

so its not gonna be heavily armored as its not gonna be for military purposes

still gonna have a few light autocannons on the sides

i needa make a corp for ts

yellow industries?

im gonna make a floor plan first before shipifying it cuz im gonna need axiom for that

otherwise its fully functioning

[vague lake]

slowly doing the interior :DDD

[wooden pasture]

yo

teach me how to build pls

[vague lake]

sure

wanna collab

also

bad news

ship is too fat to fly, the bottom thrusters arent enough

[bright mango]

how many do you have?

[vague lake]

apparently the forward thrusters arent enough too even though theres like a million of them

starting to think that it may not be the ship thats the problem

[vague lake]

ok i changed the config to 10x thrust and made a tiny little rocket with ONE thruster for testing purposes and it shot me into space

literally

cuz i have cosmic horizons installed

one second im on the ground

next second im 20km beyond earths gravitational well

wtf

[bright mango]

what happens if you put a massive prop instead of rockets to propel it?

[drifting shadow]

@vague lake whats the current name?

[vague lake]

the brass dragon :))

[vague lake]

ehh thats not the theme ig

[bright mango]

i get it but just wondering because you dont have enough propulsion

[vague lake]

Hell yeah

Im making a server on aternos rn

[vague lake]

hey guzz

im gonna put this ship on indefinite hold rn

this is cause i made a fundamental problem with its construction (it doesnt fly at all, not even with the back 100 thrusters on)

idk why, it might be something else

but if i wanna fix this i needa completely rebuild it from scratch

im gonna try making it on a smalller scale or trying different designs

[wooden pasture]

what are the mods

kinda need em

[cyan yoke]

i don't think aternos can run vs2 so that's a rather foolish idea

[vague lake]

it cant?

well i gave up when i realised i couldnt upload the mod files straight into aternos

whatev my friend agreed to self host it on his pc

[bright mango]

have you ever made a server?

[vague lake]

yea

on aternos

ive self hosted before too but my potato is so ahh it cant run it properly

[drifting shadow]

Collab. Yes. I agree

[drifting shadow]

relatable

i had a PC that was heavier than titanium, but ran like a damn potato

[vague lake]

🥀

Heavier than titanium isnt that impressive tho

Titanium is super lightweight

[bright mango]

fr

[vague lake]

Did you mean sm like tungsten

My pc is as light as titanium lol

Its a lenovo ideapad from like 2021

[bright mango]

thats way to new

i upgraded my like 2 months ago it was 13 years old

[wooden pasture]

we share the same problem

potato pcs

[drifting shadow]

yeah i meant tungsten, i get them confused XD

[vague lake]

its okii lol :DDD

[vague lake]

🥀

[proper flame]

how does that need so much thrust

what does it weight

[drifting shadow]

probably didn't use weight changing datapacks 😭

[vague lake]

heres a screenshot again

[vague lake]

im not using copycats for the build

[drifting shadow]

oh ur fucked ngl

[proper flame]

what is the actual weight

in kg

[vague lake]

its 17.73 kilotons WITHOUT ANY MACHINERY INSIDE

[proper flame]

is that

1.73 million kg?

[vague lake]

which is like 17.73 x 10^6 kg or 17 billion 730 million kg

[proper flame]

oh 17 kilotons

thought bro said 1.7

[vague lake]

with all the machinery it might as well be 25

[drifting shadow]

💀

yeha ngl

[vague lake]

yea mb i mistyped it

[drifting shadow]

it's ur own fault

for not using copycats where you could

[vague lake]

i know

[proper flame]

ngl i think a clockwork balloon could make it fly

[celest grotto]

thats less than expected

[vague lake]

but without them i couldnt get the awesome texturing

[drifting shadow]

fym

[vague lake]

check my pics above

[drifting shadow]

you can get better texturing

with

copycats

lol

[proper flame]

copycats are

copy

[drifting shadow]

kind of the point of em

[proper flame]

cats

they copy shit

[vague lake]

I KNOW

BUT I USED AXIOM FOR THE TEXTURING

[celest grotto]

this should easily fly if its only 17 kilotons

[vague lake]

it doesnt cuz i have only 24 create propulsion thrusters on the bottom

[vague lake]

it doesnt

[celest grotto]

you can make the entire inside a balloon with clockwork

[vague lake]

also 17.73 kilotons is 17 billion 730 million kilograms for context

[proper flame]

my fuckass wooden airship was like 4 kiloton and flew fine with cw im sure with big enough bloons you can fly

[vague lake]

aka 17730000 kg

[proper flame]

no no its not

[vague lake]

eh i mean it could work

[proper flame]

17 kilotons is 17 million kg

[celest grotto]

the balloon making doesnt need balloon casings it just needs any empty cavity

[vague lake]

i have a lot of space inside

[vague lake]

yea ig

i can also use eureka baloons

[celest grotto]

17 kilotons is not a pot for vs

[vague lake]

to reduce the load on the thrusters

cuz i wanna make it hover

using thursters

[proper flame]

holy bad math

[celest grotto]

doesnt really work without a eureka helm wish destroys all other types of thrust

[vague lake]

i still want the trusters to be the main source of upward thrust

[vague lake]

it does??

baloons put an upward force to an extent

[celest grotto]

i remember it bricking almost anything

[proper flame]

nah but actually how the hell did bro get that conversion

[vague lake]

just put a bit less than what would make it float

[proper flame]

what zero did you carry

[vague lake]

my bad

im bad at math

[proper flame]

for the record a metric kiloton is 1 million kg

[vague lake]

but like isnt a kiloton 1000 tons which is 1000000 kg

a ton is 1000 kg right?

or is it 100

[vague lake]

ye

i thought that was a metric ton not a metric kiloton

[proper flame]

1 ton is 1000 kg, 1 kiloton is 1000 tons

1000*1000 is 1 million

[sullen crane]

and im big and bloated

[vague lake]

yeh

[proper flame]

bro said yeh but got billions somehow

[vague lake]

17.73 kilotons is 17.73 million

my bad

1 kiloton is 10^6 kg

[celest grotto]

werent the clockwork thrusters and propellers super strong

[proper flame]

which is light work

[vague lake]

im using create propulsion which according to the discord produce 5N of thrust

idk

i assumed gravity to be 10m/s^2 for convenience

[proper flame]

my 4 kiloton airship made mfs laugh and call it a lightweight i doubt your airship is the upper limit

[proper flame]

it is

they rounded it in vs2

[vague lake]

i always assumed that the thruters were like 100N

[vague lake]

oh kewl

[proper flame]

this is why assumptions are bad

[vague lake]

but the given value is even worse

its 5N

5 whole newtons

i mean ke might be talking about kilonewtons

[celest grotto]

that would only be about 500g of thrust thats not even a block of water

[vague lake]

yeh ig

cuz like the default thrust for the creative thruster is 500kN

yeh 5 might mean 500kN

my fault

hold on lemme run some calcs again

5 x 10^5 N can lift 5 x 10^4 kg

soo

uhh

my ship is 17.73 x 10^6

wtf

[proper flame]

F in newtons is mass (kg) * gravity (10)

[vague lake]

i would need 17.75/5 x 10^2 thrusters

uhh

rounding to 3.5

i would need 350 thrusters

thats still a lot compared to my 24

[vague lake]

ik

[proper flame]

what thrusters is gang using

[vague lake]

create propulsion gng

[celest grotto]

you can reduce that amount drastically with adding balloons

[vague lake]

WHY DONT I KNOW THE DEFAULT THRUST IN NEWTONS OF THE CREATE PROPULSION ROCKET THRUSTER AAGHHH

[proper flame]

or use clockwork cuz iirc clockwork prop bearings are op

[vague lake]

WHY MUST I ASSUME IT TO BE 500kN

[celest grotto]

they are

[proper flame]

ik if you make a quad length wide blade with six blades that shit is like infinite thrust

[vague lake]

lol

[celest grotto]

that shit sends 800 kiloton stuff into new dimensions

[vague lake]

why must i be bad at math

[vague lake]

fr?

[proper flame]

this is why tools exist

[vague lake]

lemme try

hold on

ok 15 x 15 x 15 netherite cube

300 kT

[vague lake]

but the thing is im studying aerospace

i should be good at this stuff

[proper flame]

your fucked

ima keep it a buck

[vague lake]

lol

i know

somehow im still passing

also

ok wtf

8 wide blades (4 long), 85 deg blade angle, 256 rpm NO EFFECT

[proper flame]

maybe try 23 degrees like a sane person

[vague lake]

i tried 35

still didnt wok

lemme try 23

[proper flame]

try 23

also you might need more then 1

try like 2 - 4

[vague lake]

twin 23 doesnt even work

[vague lake]

i have 8

[proper flame]

send pic

also are you running them at max rpm

[vague lake]

yes

[proper flame]

that ship is

302 kt

[vague lake]

ye

and?

[proper flame]

i dont think gang actually meant 800 kt

[vague lake]

.

o

[proper flame]

p sure thats called hyperbole

[vague lake]

h

my bad

did i mention im autistic

[proper flame]

i can te-

[celest grotto]

yes i do maybe some random update changed something again tho

[proper flame]

thats called balancing

they do that sometimes

[celest grotto]

very very rarely

[vague lake]

bruh not even 30 kT?

it doesnt lift

bruhh

[celest grotto]

maybe wrong direction ?

[vague lake]

whatev this project is on indefenite hold anyways

[proper flame]

bro might have a point

[vague lake]

tried both

[celest grotto]

because 30 kilotons is like nothing i have got heavier things in the air with way smaller propeller

[vague lake]

idk why but it doesnt fly 😭

[celest grotto]

i think your configs may be broken

[vague lake]

twin it only moves very slightly forwards when i put it sideways

[vague lake]

maybe

[celest grotto]

sideways it should launch it into the next dimension even faster

[vague lake]

it doesnt

it dont even move when its on the ground

i have to lift it in the air with the gravitron

[celest grotto]

yeah something is definitely broken

[vague lake]

how do i fix it tho

where is the thrust multiplier on props

faahhhhh

https://klipy.com/gifs/aaaa-27

[vague lake]

ok so im gonna need 300 propulsion thrusters apparently

prolly gonna balance it with some eureka balloons or tournament thrusters

The Brass Dragon

[vague lake]

ok chat we are so back

[vague lake]

ok chat its so joever

[vague lake]

we are so back

[vague lake]

its so joever

[drifting shadow]

😭

[vague lake]

WE ARE SO BACK

[bright mango]

we bouta waste so much fuel we crash the economy🔥

[vague lake]

it is so joever

[vague lake]

we are so back

for context im typing its so joever when i encounter a really big problem and we are so back when i fix it

rn i fixed the COM and thrust vector imbalance

also

its so joever cuz turning is super slow and super heavy

[vague lake]

I forgot to type this

But everything is so joever

Half my ship got deleted cuz i messed up the hover redstone

Im gonna have to redo everything now

Since my last backup

Which was before shipofying it

It is so joever gng

🤞

[drifting shadow]

😭

[vague lake]

like look at this

looks like somebody took a bite out of it

it just got thanos snapped out of existence

[vague lake]

goofy ahh face

[drifting shadow]

[vague lake]

dragon power station complete

also my hover mode works finnaly

will post an updated thread soon

[drifting shadow]

nice

[drifting shadow]

Said tungsten PC in it's "Corruption Era"

[vague lake]

🥀

Do you use linux perchance

[drifting shadow]

it was windows 10

and i use 11 pro now

because this goated pc came with it

[vague lake]

Nice

Use linux tho

More performance

And plus no more microslop spyware and lowk easier to use than windows

Steam proton runs any game on linux, you can even run pirated stuff using it and plus custom proton builds exist too

[pale prism]

:3

I run debian :333

[vague lake]

i use arch btw

😈

speaking of

update time

[pale prism]

This is insane . What thrusters are those? Create propulsion?

[vague lake]

the blue ones are from starlance, orange ones are propulsion

[pale prism]

You've made what I want to build in the future

[vague lake]

i used the orange ones cuz i plan to make this build survival ""friendly""

[pale prism]

A giant mobile base factory

[vague lake]

😋

yummers

that will be awesome

[pale prism]

Indeed

[vague lake]

im prolly gonna make a new post for this cuz this one is really old now, and ive added a lot of improvements ig

[pale prism]

And i have ender tanks and chests so I can have a secret infinite fuel factory

If i really need it

[vague lake]

i added an elevator and a pulley to move in the ship and in/out repsectively

also it moves now

[vague lake]

yussss

[pale prism]

Thata awesome

Im doing it all in survival right now so its gonna take some time to get there

But I have grand plans for the future

[vague lake]

yuss

[pale prism]

And clockwork/vs will make my dreams come true

[vague lake]

i also wanna make a moving floating island and a massive city on top of it eventually

my imagination is running wild

[pale prism]

That would be so cool

[vague lake]

all of my builds are made from my imagination ig

[pale prism]

Same

[vague lake]

also check out https://discord.com/channels/244934352092397568/1480498489359339610 pls

[pale prism]

I only based my first ship on the Osprey as It has plenty of complications that will allow me to learn how everything in clockwork actually meshes together

[edgy oriole]

__**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

[vague lake]

fair

[vague lake]

i needa post a lot of stuff i guess

i made a batmobile w this system

[pale prism]

Crab walker

Reminds me

I should build a mech at some point

Seems more than doable

[vague lake]

yuh

it also has tank steering

:)))

[pale prism]

Delightful indeed

[vague lake]

ong i wanna make a spider mech so bad

[pale prism]

I dont see why that would be too much of a challenge

You seem to have plenty of experience

[vague lake]

thx :))))

god why is multitasking so hard

im tryna talk and do chores at the same time

[pale prism]

Ikr im supposed to be asleep rn but I am wide awake thinking about all the cool stuff I will do

[vague lake]

me at night

lol

what time is it for you rn?

[pale prism]

Me at checks time 5:16am

[vague lake]

its 2:45pm for me rn

atp just wake up and do it

there is no point in sleeping now

sun is about to rise anyways its better to take a nap in the day

[pale prism]

Yeahh im more taking a break because I was on pretty much all night lmao

[vague lake]

hehe

[sullen crane]

NO!

[vague lake]

WHY

[sullen crane]

NOT EVERYTHING WORK

[vague lake]

EVERYTHING WORKS PERFECTLY

[sullen crane]

WRONG

[vague lake]

STEAM PROTON THE GOAT

[sullen crane]

GAME WITH ANTI CHEAT

[vague lake]

oh

FIr

Fair

Shit like valorant wont work but i dont even see why you would wanna play valorant

[drifting shadow]

y'all i just realized.

my gpu IS CHINA EXCLUSIVE

[drifting shadow]

i play vrchat and it has anticheat-

[vague lake]

I sometimes play vrchat too it works fine

Only kernel level anticheats dont work

But idk why you would play any game with a kernel level anticheat cuz its a massive security risk

[drifting shadow]

dead showcase

https://tenor.com/view/dead-chat-dead-chat-skeleton-gif-25954239

@vague lake when are we getting an update of the dragon

[vague lake]

Prolly never cuz the 2 week phase is over

It might restart soon idk

But i cant reallly play any games rn cuz of personal stuff
