Ornithopter

Based on the ornithopters from the recent Dune movies, this mod intends to add a similar ornithopter into the rimworld game, perfect not just for Dune enthusiasts, but those who want a fast and cool vehicle to play around with. The ornithopter is an advance spacer level aircraft that can carry only a pilot, limited cargo and is of considerably large size, but is incredibly fast with an incredible range. (Major update planned, subject to change.)



Q: Why can't I rotate the ornithopter when landing?
A: This was an issue regarding the Vehicle Framework, but has recently been fixed and added.

Q: Why does the blades not move when taking off and landing?
A: Could not make the blades look like they are vibrating like they are supposed to. Animating like a helicopter or simply putting a still, vibrating effect onto the blades texture would not look as good as simply having the blades rested. The only way to make the vibrating blades look good is if we make it move the texture by only a few degrees which the VF does not have supported. I am not a coder so it is simply easier to have them still.

Q: Is this CE compatible?
A: Yes, assuming Vehicle Framework is compatible too.

If you know any other languages fluently and want to see a translation of the ornithopter added, please message me on discord and I'd gladly integrate it into the mod! Planning to integrate the Russian and Ukrainian ones soon once I hear from them! Major update will render those translations outdated in the near future.
