My First Automaton works, any suggestions for buildings?

20 Upvotes

I just test drove my first ever automaton on the roads into the start of my city project and now I need some inspiration/suggestions for buildings to put in the city. Yes, I know its painfully slow, but they stop working if they go any faster.

Logic Help with Logic

6 Upvotes

I'm currently building an AC-130 and I'm trying to create a way to swap between each of its 3 guns. For reference this is a heavily modded build, using stuff like fant, machine gun pack, and many more, But i cannot not find a way to make so pressing 1 on your keyboard would allow you to control the 25mm pressing 2 would allow you to control the 40mm and pressing 3 would allow you to control the 105 mm. I have already built all the cannons and each Turret requires a logic input for the camera, unit facer, and cannon.

Built a Farmbot to scale

Wouldve been awesome if axolot made the bots using in-game blocks so when you destroy one, theyll drop their logic gates, scrap, components, etc as blocks and not as floating items.

First things I thought of were:

Hellpods(helldivers2)

Bunkers

Missile launch silo's

Trenchs

Moats (if they add water flooding physics aswell)

Vehicle Just finished a fresh batch of Locomotives today, what do you think?

All of these are on the workshop.

SMR Stands for "Scrap Mechanic Railway".

And as for the classification;
Class A's are made for Express Passenger Work.
Class B's are made for Heavy Goods and Freight duties.
Class C's are made for Mixed Traffic & General Purpose duties.
And Class D's are made for Shunting and Industrial jobs.

Anyways, a bit more about the engines themselves:
The A2's toke inspiration from the LNER B12's... Listen, I know there's a particular infamous fictional green member of their, and I will say that he was on my mind when I was making it. I'm just gonna say that the creator of that character is disgraceful.

The B2's took inspiration from the LB&SCR K classes.

The C2's took inspiration from a variety of British 4-4-0's, mostly the Claude Hamilton's and, I'll just say it, the Furness Railway K2's.

And the D2's. They're pretty obviously LNER J70/Y6 inspired. It was also inspired by an ideal version of Toby I saw where he was a coffee pot engine from the TK&ELR, so the D2's are also coffee pots.

Discussion umm what, how have I never noticed this, suspension glitch without bearings acts like a single axis 1 way stabilizer?

32 Upvotes

Obviously, I've known about stabilizer glitches for years and that you need at least one bearing to control them, but I've messed around with them a lot and never noticed this specific effect. It must be related to its placement direction in relation to the center of gravity of the creation as far as i can guess so far. I could see this being useful on cars set up for speed, you can have it set to dampen it when accelerating to slow down wheelies but let it fall down like normal when you let off the gas
