If it still works i wonder ...

Look good I really like it
Wrothgar 3 Mar, 2015 @ 11:57pm 
it woulod condense the doors engines and total space required, plus you would have fewer actuall moving parts aside the rotors and door sections, fewer thrusters and excess power draining/space occupying parts.
Wrothgar 3 Mar, 2015 @ 11:56pm 
try condensing syustem to a simple rotor system place notches in the door itself and apply the power directly to moving the door in a linear direction. using aslittle impact to force, i would construct the door out of a lighter material but use heavy armor ramps 1x1 to construct the notches in the door.

This door is so old! And its still in top rated of all time!
camera 9 May, 2014 @ 10:35pm 
i would make it a station
GameOfThrones 9 May, 2014 @ 3:06pm 
So can you remake it now with the wheels system?:D
Turkeybaster 4 May, 2014 @ 11:52pm 
This was no doubt done before wheels were introduced to the game. You can now use a boggey system very much as found on steel rollercoasters which grip a track be can't leave the track. So it's very possible to condense this operating mechanisim or elimiate it entirely and rely on wheels with spindles as live or neutral axils. If you are not sure how a roller coasters boggy sysem works there are lots of sites describing how a roller coaster grips the track.

Is there a way to troll people by making something like Stargate's warp big gates?SO people will fly into meteors xD
nicoper 25 Apr, 2014 @ 12:57pm 
We really do need a button that trigger Item1+Item2+Item3, etc when pressed, would definitely make stuff like this alot easier
Sauce 10 Apr, 2014 @ 10:38am 
A nice start. Could be faster.
<1.SBS>Adder 9 Apr, 2014 @ 6:09am 
@The Arquido - Because there will be more draging to the side and more damage.
Minty 6 Apr, 2014 @ 10:07am 
Why do the long pieces with the landing gear have to be so long? Couldn't it work with just a few blocks around the connection (of the 21 block arm)?
Alk Fauf 6 Apr, 2014 @ 3:13am 
amazing... +1 subscribed :)

if you can guys please check out my frigate, it would mean alot to me :) http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=245801655&searchtext=
Reaver 3 Apr, 2014 @ 1:07pm 
this is why we need action groups in the control panel
nah. really? 3 Apr, 2014 @ 12:15pm 
How do i use it/activate the door?
anyone_yun 31 Mar, 2014 @ 9:24am 
very useful! Thanks!
Joker 29 Mar, 2014 @ 3:16pm 
absolutely great job but i do have a suggestion. could you have 2 sets of rotors, each only does 1 direction (either open or close) and with a seperate power supply so that you turn one on to open then power it down to close. the close would have to be weaker than tha open or vice versa
123 25 Mar, 2014 @ 2:17am 
LOL starts getting minecraft-ish, with 500m x 500m redstone fueled machines doing some very little job.
CapeFearJon  [author] 22 Mar, 2014 @ 12:37pm 
yeah, the thrusters are bad, time to redesign it!
GH(+)ST 21 Mar, 2014 @ 3:08am 
thrusters now = death to your creation... too bad
John Helldiver 18 Mar, 2014 @ 9:25am 
What about those thrusters?
Ramonster 11 Mar, 2014 @ 6:34am 
This game is amazing. The amount of creativity from some people is completely mind-blowing.
AWildBeard 8 Mar, 2014 @ 9:38am 
subscibed out of pure awe of your creation.... been messing around with pistons forever and can never get them to wrok for me
Coitus Maximus 6 Mar, 2014 @ 5:24am 
nice job man
