Suspendium Chambers on Landships to make them lighter

[jaunty elbow]

why not

[hollow harness]

Brilliant! We have invented a hover tank, and it can float over any type of terrain with ease now! I call this new type of land ship: The Air ship!

[jaunty elbow]

but with the cost reduction

[hollow harness]

I’m a little confused what you actually want in the end. Instead of installing leg modules that increase weight capacity that require coal as fuel, you want to install suspendium modules that increase weight capacity and require coal as fuel?

[jaunty elbow]

yes

without the giant size and restrictions

and the weaknesses to ramming

ik it sounds stupid

but someone surely did that with some giant landship

in the universe

so they have better cross country capabilities without sacrificing a lot of the space

the dev could do that if the landship goes off the ground it loses the lift

so basically a limiter for landships

because they are not prepared structurally

or maybe pressurized tanks

they also look logical to put on tanks, even more than chambers

[hollow harness]

Even so, Think of the nightmarish code that currently supports landship movement, and imagine mixing it with airship movement

I think that would qualify as a form of torture to Zark

[jaunty elbow]

whachure saying

you can just create a variable that makes the landship lighter by x factor of the lift amount only when its contacting the ground

i think there is a check alr for that

[hollow harness]

Landhips move off of entirely different methods code wise than airships, and mixing the two movement systems requires way more than just allowing lift modules on landships

[jaunty elbow]

i dont get what are you trying to say, im not creating hybrid ships

its just more of the same combined

[hollow harness]

Does turtle dove armor work on landships? (I forgot and can’t check so this is a genuine question)

[jaunty elbow]

let me check

@hollow harness

lie

it works

lmao

i thought that just because it did not show the lift it did not work

the landship is bouncing like its the moon

so i guess it is not a lot of code

oh sh

its cut

but yeah that check already exists

[hollow harness]

Cool!

[somber tiger]

Yes it does and it leads to some rather unhinged physics behaviour

[jaunty elbow]

😞

❌

i dont have my gifs anymore so

icant proof

[somber tiger]

One thing that might be interesting to do is a high tech tier hovership thing where basically they're still landships but don't have visible wheels/legs.

[cunning kraken]

It's been done before by mods

I think it'd be cool a hovercraft thing

But uhhh

It doesint add so much really

[somber tiger]

It doesn't, no.

[iron charm]

doesnt get caught on terrain

[glad axle]

Adds whimsy

Could allow them to go to monster spawns off roads and stuff

[cunning kraken]

Off roading should already probably be a thing
