Shaostoul's: Landing Gear

I've had no reports of them messing up.

is this still working or abandoned

Try control + F5, it clears cache/cookies for the page, maybe it'll fix it.

It says "an error has occurred" every time I click it.

Weird, it's working on my end.

Video is bugged and will not play.

Hey guys, I'm so sorry to do this to you, but I need to work on my future for concern of not having one if I'm not careful. Please check out the video added to the description discussing me going on hiatus from modding Space Engineers.

No idea. That's part of the reason I'm working on branching out.

Huh. Yeah, doesn't sound worth it.I've made designs that had the landing gear on pistons, but they tended to ... I'm not sure what word to use. Wiggle? Wobble? Flop around like a bobblehead? Gyrate like a flamingo with one toe glued to the top of a tree in a hurricane? All of the above, depending on circumstances.

Of course, part of the problem with my landing-gear-on-pistons designs was that they were all small ships, using that landing gear to hang onto my mothership. It's entirely possible that if I build landing gear with pistons onto the mothership itself, which tends to land on things that don't suddenly accelerate or turn underneath it (like planets), it may be more stable. Buuut, I understand that pistons are being phased out. =x

I wonder what the heck Keen is going to do next?

Yeah, my memory is pretty bad. :/

I imagine an upgrade to this mod would be just updating the code to use the most recent iteration by the developers. I have a programmer working with me now, so maybe we could look into making some cool landing gear. I'm not sure what is available to us, but I know retractable landing gear and SE don't get along. There's been a few iterations of them.

True retractable landing gear are dangerous physics wise. Since you have individual parts moving so close together. Clang strikes often with these.

The other type are animation only landing gear, but the downside is that the physics doesn't move with the landing gear. You either have landing gear phasing through objects or the physics block permanently extends to where the landing gear would be in the extended position, even if it's not visually extended.
