sorry i had caps lock on

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?

Seem the new update has caused some issues. If you attach a hinge to a steering block the game freezes up. Makes it impossible now to make engines with variable crank angle.

wont work anymore?

it appears inside the block i want to place on also cant place help!

Hi! Thank you very much for your great job with this mod!
I encountered an issue that all plugs except for the regular spark plug have no skins and are not rendered. Is there a known way to fix this?

Perhaps I can ask another mod developer to help or I can somehow help you, it's just that this mod makes me play the game and I enjoy it very much. I'd like for it to be able to compete witrh the other types of powered engines. While I'm at it it's sometimes hard to make sure the engine doesn't start turning the other way. If you have some kind of design to help or something I'd be interested in that as well. I've made a flat 12 with your mod with 480 horsepower :D

You just raise the break force and break torque of the block, I'm sure it's pretty simple, and you definitely can! Please?

I find that 6000 power is the maximum you can set the spark plugs to before they launch themselves into space.

Sorry, i don't think i can make it better than it is.

Hey your mod spark plugs have a weak attachment point behind them and it's making my engines much worse than vanilla since water cannons never break. Could you please strengthen the back end a bit? It always seems to be the thing that breaks even though every single part of my engine is strong

no lines show up, and the wrench only gives me a transform menu.

Try adjusting trigger distances and make sure nothing is triggering it when it shouldn't be. the hitbox of most parts is larger than what's visible.

I'm having an issue with using regular spark plugs with top trigger mode on sideways. It doesn't turn off and my engine doesn't work.

Also try make radial engine - it's very cool sounding and pretty powerful!

Thanks for responding i made a crossplane i4 today for my r1m bike work and learned the logic of this mod with you'r engines. "start/stop pushing piston just in time" makes everything more clear :D

"some of mine engines or chinese ones" lmao wha- I think someone's been disconnected from the community for a bit

Hi! Glad you like my mod. Stroke distance do not affect to torqueand there is no math or something. You just need as long stroke distance as your piston needed for a good stroke cycle. So you need your spark plug to start to push piston just in time, and stop pushing just in time. You just need to practice and you'll get it. Try to make one cylinder engine with long stroke distance to better understanding all the tuning. And try to not use braces in spinning parts - it too heavy and drag forced. Braces slow down engine. If you check some of mine engines or chinese ones, you'll se what it's can get a lot of RPM and with nice gearbox you can get nice power.

Hey, first of all this mod is making me play this game and its awesome. I have a question about torque depends on stroke distances, here is my v6 work with this mod: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2776837855
Someone told me i can get more torque by changing stroke distances and it worked but i don't know how to calculate it on other machines. Is there any math behind it ?

mod broken in 64 bit update

Hey This mod looks awesome, but I'm having so much trouble! Could you help me when you get a chance?

Thanks))

1 mod, countless engines. Lovely!

BigForce's piston mod based on my old piston mod, but he tuned it's a lot. Main difference between piston and plug mods - how the block is activating. Piston activate by physical touch of the blocks, plug activate by ray what check distance between blocks. And plug have some additional features. I dont know why yours engines stronger with BigForce's mod, maybe becouse his mod better than mine, maybe becouse it's easier to use - i don't know, becouse i never try BigForce's piston mod) And i dont care about whose mod better)

Hey Dim, what's the difference between this mod and the one by BigForce? I've seen smaller engines but way more powerful with the other mod. The best I ever did was a v8 that barely got a Biplane off the ground.

The top trigger mode is broken and the plugs fire continuously after being triggered once.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback! I know about this bag, but, sadly, i cant fix it now. Anyway, small plag have a "prestarted" option and it mean what you dont need to enable plug by logic or key))

hey dim small bug with 1.0 you cant emulate or use any logic parts(im just tryin to use the transmition) but thought ide mention as its useful for prestarting and engine or somethin

Thanks!

New Spark plugs are great. Here's my latest engine.

It's not a good idea... And i can build very good engines without combustion delay. Kinetic energy make all the job)) My good old subscriber very want to 4 stroke mode. In a past i tell him, what it's not improve power or stability, but now, then i almost make very effective flywheel, this 4 stroke feature will not kill all the power. Maybe i'll add this.

It would be cool to have the possibility to delay the combustion

Thanks))

Maybe later i'll add a push-pull feature to micro plug.

Sound is not pitched, i use sound of real engine in high and low rpm. I want to add more sound later... Or you can replace it with your own sound in "Resources" folder.

Yep, plugs can be stopped in certain momens, its not actually bug, im just too lazy to make it properly))

Awesome ! I really like the new micro plug and all the features it gives, at first I was a bit upset that we couldn't see the lines but the new system is way easier to use and to create perfect timed strokes. I only regret the absence of push-pull feature on micro plugs, as this system was the only way I found to create a engine with decent power without exploding the pistons. It would be cool if all the features the micro-plugs has could be shipped to spark plugs but I understand it may broke a lot of creations the community has made... Im not sure if I like the high pitched sound while using the throttle, but it's still a nice feature (I think I will get used to it quickly). There's just a small bug on the micro plugs which when you start and shut off the engine repeatedly, the plugs will stop working at a certain moment (happens randomly).

Finally, i update this mod, make new spark plug version and improve a little old one.

Hi dude, thanks to your feedback. Right now im working with new spark plug version. Throttle feature, smaller size, easier to adjust, with few new blow sounds and etc. Im very sad, but no way to improve strength - i never thought what someone will put more than 2000 power, thats crazy! I will think about to set more adding points, its very easy to do. Maybe (just maybe!) i will feagure out how to make top trigger mode with sound.

There is one big problem with update original spark plug - im very scared if i will brok something. Thats why i will make new spark plug block in this mod. I just want to realize some ideas, and i hope you will enjoy this.

You can accept this comment as annoncement of new block))

Hi, I really enjoy this mod and I spent way too much time making a ton of engines with those spark plug :). But I miss some features, like a on/off mode, or some improvement to the spark plug strength as they broke when putting more than 5500-6000 power, and a double or even quadruple attach point version (to be able to attach 2 or 4 sides of the spark plug). And I don't know if it's easy to fix but it's really sad that the top-trigger spark plugs doesn't make sounds.

Thanks)

Hey, dont worry about there being no sound. Most vanilla blocks make no sound! the only ones i can think of are a few of the weapons.

subscribe to mod, let it download, open game, and when the game opens, there's an option called "mods", make sure it is enabled, and when you go to build something, in the very bottom left, there's a new panel for new blocks.

This mod installs like other mods... Try find some instructions on youtube, how to install besiege mods.

I still cant get this mod to install for me

How do I make an engine that has high rps? Mine are always really slow.

it is broken

make more gear reduction for example, or make radial engine - it's most stronk and stable type

any tips on getting more turqe

cool

I built this W3 engine for you, I tried to use your original engine, but I couldn't work any real torque out of it, even with significant modification.
So instead I built a W3 like my V8, built a quick tractor around it, added a trailer and a ballast weight set to 200.

hope you enjoy.

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1893733815 can some one put this engine i made into a car and any ideas for other engins for me to make

Sorry, there is no sound for top trigger for now. Maybe i add it later.
