Hey engineers! Its me, again : ) This time i've made for you something really complex and huge. Say hello to my flying Lotus.
Lotus - it's a massive flying complex, huge, as small town, with many different mechanical systems and sub-systems. When I was starting to build it, I just wanted to create something well designed that can hang in the air, even with invincibility. But after the first day, i realized that to keep something so huge in the air - not an easy task. so, i spend...like 5 days. making, balancing, testing, balancing, testing, balancing, testing...
My challenge's here - it's make this huge complex stable, easy to control, and hanging in the air without invincibility and any additional pressed buttons. Since this is my first experience in building flying machines - on the third day of construction, I have not understood how this thing holds in the air : D But, after hours of work - Lotus is ready and fully working. Even if you dont like design, you can download .bsg and look at different mechanic's behind this, I'll be glad if some of my solutions will help you in creating your machines, especially those that fly. okok...now, enough of stories

Welcome to my workshop. I combined all my creations in one thread. I will not create new thread's, but simply will update this one. So you can put a bookmark here and follow this thread if you are interested in my creations:) I decided to take a short break and did not create anything serious, so here's a small gift to you, until I will create something new : ) Also you can find all my .bsg's HERE and some video's HERE. Feel free to comment, download, modificate, etc. You can use all my creations as you want : )

Hey folks
WASP - concept car
Hey folks. I think you know about some useful tricks and bug's in game, like chaos engine. So, i've prefer to use another bug with broken symmetry and its looks so cool. Meet my racing concept car WASP. High stability without invicible mod, easy control with arrows, responsive handling with cool speed.
i've make video for you, to show some incredible and extreme things dat car can do.

Systems and sub-systems
Fully automatic engine - you dont need push any button to fly. Just put him in the air and press Play. After few secs for stabilisation, lotus will just hang in the air until your commands.
All body Self-Stabilisation - no need to push buttons for stabilisation. After start, or moving, or shooting etc, just wait few sec's and it will go stable.
Auto stabilisation between engine/botton propellers/top platform - it does not allow Lotus to bend and wobble from side to side for too long and constantly gives the machine a flat position.
Top platform position auto-stabilisation - do what you want, fly, where you want to fly - your platform will save a clear position, will not spin with propellers or around axis.
Auto-stabilisation of thrust and propellers speed - does not allow the propellers spin too fast/slow in relation to other propellers and does not fall apart when the ship to overcome a certain threshold speed.
Damage reduction and centre of mass auto-stabilisation - even if you have damaged some of the propellers, Lotus will continue to fly, trying to stabilise and get up to speed at the expense of other propellers. You will have to swing back and forth, but you will not quickly fall to the ground.
Flight direction auto-stabilisation - Lotus does not lean forward during flight in any direction.
Recoil absorption - shot from cannons do not affect your stability.
and many other little, simple solution's for big Complex like this... Here is the video with demonstration
For me Lotus work at 40-50% game speed. Lotus sometimes breaks at the start - it's random. simply restart.
Q/E - go UP/DOWN
Arrows - fly directions
1 - drop bombs, 2/3 - shot cannons
thats all controls for Lotus : ) as i say, its fully automatic system. Feel free for comment's, or if you have any questions/advices/critic and need something explained.

616 parts just hang in the air
It's not joke. Believe me. Just download dat Poop, press Start and go make some tea. When you return, Lotus will hang in the same place where you left it. There is a many places for bombs, cannon etc, add what you want, just don't forget to add some speed to propellers. During one of the tests I have built a castle on top of the platform, Lotus still hung in the air. So, feel free for weaponary updates. About controls and some notes

Steam Train
Hey Enginers!
after little break im happy to present you my new creation. This time I tried to find a compromise between design and technology. I was always worried about what excellent technical solutions remain good design. in the stage of early access we have a bunch of cool stuff to create mechanisms, but few tools to make them look beautiful. So, this time I used a lot of tools just for design. Аnd my own challenge here was to create a real engine, without using the wheels, as this steam train. I spent all night working on only small details like machinist's cab, small tubes, etc...and here is what I got. I hope you enjoy.
I put a lot of small parts. You can explore the train and see for yourself) controls are very simple: Q/E - forward and back, no turns - its a train 
. Press 1/2 to let off steam.
Train work very stable without invicibility mode, but as in reality, do not start to go back as soon as went forward, there is a risk that you damage the engine) Ofc, this train is huge, but for me, its work normaly on 50-60% game speed.

Dragon
Hey folks. After 4 f**kin days of my life, im ready to share with you first version of my gorgeous Bone Dragon. Im proud of him, cuz he was a real pain in my ass. It was a challeng for me - make something huge, but stable and elastic at same time with real animal moving instead of symmetric robot movements. as always, dont mind my bad english. Sooo, dat's my babe. pls be gentle with her : )
Unfortunately I was not able to set up move left and right, if somebody can help me with this without losing stability, I would be very grateful. its realy hard, to make dat huge thing move normal wit big wings. i was speng many hours with legs and stability test's. Btw, i can load him without lags on 60-70% speed. So you can try to ride the dragon, just dont forget to feed him : )

Hey folks
after realy long work and some experiments (this time with brace's), say hello to my new car
probably, this car is not very functional and fast like my previosly work. its just concept. ofc if you want, you can download car and make some test drive (if your pc does not blow up)

I highly recomend you enjoy dat beautiful babe on 200% speed.
