Description
Chtech Presents: The CHTech Piston Subgrid Merge PCO

This Test was to see if a merge block can connect a sub-grid to the parent grid (The answer is yes)

Well, think of the possiblities! Rotor ramps that don't Clang when not in uses! Rotorized landing gear that don't Clang when not in use! The possiblilities are virtually endless!

Enjoy!


It Will work with rotors, but, It requires pistons, and, is very dififcult to do in a POC Form, but, in a Non-POC method, it would be "quite" easy.

Yup!

It seems we are both Tinkers. Tinkers use the tools they have. Engineers use the tools the job needs. (unless they are unavailable then they become Tinkers and use what they have)

Well! What are the odds!

Before. Though I was using a Modded 1x1x1 small grid merge block since a vanilla one did not exist until recently. It just made the most logical sense at the time. I also was using it with wing mods to allow folding wings to be merged into a single grid when deployed and stored

Glad you like it! And, the way you phrased it, where you using it before I published this, or after? If before, glad I could help! If after, what are the odds!

This is a great method I have been using for a while in my rotored VTOL craft. Though recently I just started using whip's Rotor Thrust script. then locking rotors when I no longer need them moving

Possibly!

Well, actually, Knowing Klang, it probally will just cause more problems when you un-merge!

Besides it's a POC, and Me An Klang worked together on this!

(Uh... BBL, need to stop Klang from frying my CPU, Again )

KLANG We Talked About This!

so this is a method to protect rotors from the dark god clangs "blessing"

this will end horribly

Yes, It is testing to see if merge blocks can connect subgrids to parent grids.

im guessing this is something to do with docking with merge blocks?
