you cant make it any more but it still work if pasted in game

well you can still use centrifugal force to mimic it. RIP Keen >.>

I think it's impossible since a patch ... Or am I wrong ? It worked for me last year, but today it doesn't

how do you make this ring i cant make it?

I'm looking for a large grid version of this trick. Is there a blueprint on the workshop somwhere that I can copy the rotor/suspension out of?

Any work arounds?

@SGT_MAJOR_FISH Yes it has been patched.

i think this has been patched now, how do you do it now?

so rotors will automatically attach and depending on the offset they will be largley offset but still rotate at the middle of the suspension?

how does the ring move with the ship? I understand the concept of having gyros that turn the wheel, but how does the ring stay a part of the ship?

Huge... ,Love the concept.
The ship is awsome

im shocked this even works. i just hope they never patch it out

I don't understand this tutorial, I must be missing something, is there a video?

And is it possible with large suspension + large block ? I tried but didn't work at all :/

Hi, with this method, I can use large blocks on a little suspension, but is still possible to use small blocks on a large suspension ?

I guess you're trying with a 5x5 suspension. You have to use the small 1x1 or 3x3 suspensions.
Maybe it's working with 5x5 suspensions, too, but then you have to place the rotor somewhere else than in the middle.

i still cant get a rotor head to attach to the supention lol

Can you make the tutorial any clearer, i do not understand anything past the part where you build a second small ship with the rotor part and..... hu.... right after that it sounds like you skip 1-5 steps and bang you have some weird stuff. Can you explain anything after attaching a rotor head to a suspension.

we should all petition to keep this trick in the game because of how awesome it is. imagine using these tricks to build custom wheels or levitating wings, physical shields, or just asthetics. put it into a reactor room for safe asthetic rotation, or as custom vanilla rocket gatling launchers with a sequencer script. or maybe as a habitat/docking ring around a central station.

TUTORIAL OMG YES THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! and seriously, these rotor-tricks are better than any planned feature ever. last time they 'fixed' the rotor-trick but brought it back due to popularity, they haven't fixed the advanced rotor trick yet... hopefully they leave this alone as well (even if it is technically a bug, and will probaby be 'fixed' accidentally if/when rotors ever get fixed for good).

im still having issues with getting the rotor part to atach to the supention.. any ideas?

if keen software house "fixes" this im gonna have a heart attack! they should keep this as a secret but really cool feature of the wheel suspension like they did for the rotor small/large ship attachment. or make a block that does the same thing at least. magnetic levitating ship parts, anyone?

Nice ship, nice guide.

tyvm. but how do you get the supention to attach to the roter part?

Tutorial has been added XD

I'm wondering, "what the hell", but in a good way. Thanks for bringing some mystery to the 'verse.

I know how

where did u get the skybox?

PLEASE pleaseplease!!! a How-to video!!! this is the best thing since small/large grid rotor-tricks!

how to levitate O_o?

well the fact there is no atmo thrusters..... might of given that away....

I subscribed to the mod, but it does not work in atmospheres.

Looks like a No Man's Sky ship. Nice

amazing...

magic

I think you can achieve something like this by first building a normal rotor with attached structure ingame and then deleting the suspension blocks in the file. That way the game doesn't realize the blocks aren't connected anymore and still treats them as one grid.

from what i saw.. there was no rotor base. just the wheel hub and the 4 rotor heads in the "ring"

do you think maybe he put the rotor displacement up to its highest setting them put the rotor head in the ring and the rest of the rotor on the wheel? or does he have just the rotor head and not the rest of it?

because if we can figure out how to use levitation rotor functionality for ramps and such in a compact way. this might just fix rotor bug issues for thousands of designs.

probably the coolest concepts ive seen in a long time on space engineers. although the fact it levitates is not nearly as interesting as the fact that its stable....very stable. i think we need to put more thought in to this. and figure out how exacly it works so we can simplify and recreate differnt versions.

for example this could be used on a transport ship. and rotate so as to open the doors and rotate again to close. resulting in a perfectly safe rotor door system...

on a side note... id love to figure it out. could work fo soooo many different things.

just played with this... 300kph roter spinning... no destruction.... pulled it apart.. 4 roter heads in the ring. one wheel hub in middle of ship. so lost as to how this works...

From what I've been able to figure out it is a combination of a wheel hub and rotor head. How that makes it work I do not know!

Nice but.. how? :o

Nice job. is it balanced? I tried an idea like this once. it worked OK, but I did not like the disturbance when I start up the rotor. The ship rotated with a jerk, and it got annoying, I intend to try this.
It looks cool! Where did you put the rotor. When I start playing again, I'll take this apart and look at it.

啊，路酱啪啪啪

you need to do a video on how you built this, it has so many applications for other ships

hahah I see it good work C-tech

how the hell does that ring WORK?!?!?!?!?

add some decoys to the ring. ai turrets lead their targets on a straight vector, and if the decoys rotate around the ship most of the automated defenses will miss.
