Watch in high quality!

wen i get this game (tommoro hopefuly) wen i get used to it im gunna try n make a big radial engine (5 cylinders maybe more)

[Glubags]

I wanted to make a radial engine, but the layers severely limit the number of cylinders. With 3 main layers and 4 intermediate layers, you're limited to 4 cylinders on a radial layout, and that's using a 3-piece crank that utilizes all of the main layers. It's hard to explain, but when you get the game you'll understand. More than one rod on a single intermediate layer will prevent the motor from turning, as the rods will collide with one another.

I tried making a piston engine (vertical piston) and I haven't succeeded! I can't seem to be able to build a "gearbox" to connect the wheels to the piston. I tried using a train-wheels design but glitches occured everytime. Any advice would be useful. By the way, your boxer type seems a lot more fiable and reliable! I will try the next days to make that piston work and hopefully build a car engine imitation (4 cylinders at least) + wheels. Cheers.

Honestly it's all about timing the explosions correctly and building the engine as symmetrically as possible. Use the grid to build your pistons and rods, use the straight-on view when placing bolts to ensure they're as centered as possible if you can't snap them to the grid, and perhaps most of all, make the engine assembly as light-weight as possible while retaining material that doesn't disintegrate with explosives. The thinner your rotating assembly, the more easily it will spin.

You know, I will probably come up with something better than a combustion engine. It is too complicated to build with improper tools.

But for now I will finish my hot-rod then start thinking of a self propelled vehicle!

[Glubags]

Good luck! Send me a comment or message if you get any sort of alternative self-propelled vehicle working.

I demand TUTORIAL :P

[TunkieHobo]

@vgamedude12 and this is only the first game!

It will die!

how fast can it go?

[diffan666]

cool

[andr00123]

look at defcon01's tutorials, he has one on treads, tank base, and hydraulics.

[lpbmaster]

look at rz22gs tank tread tutorial

[elpyrodraco]

does anyone have any tips on making a tank?

i especially need help on the treads, and i figure that someone who can make an engine without motors could give some good tips!

@vnhcoltridge: the level editor is the whole point of the game along with the fact that it is so fun to play all the levels!!!
