you could mount the cannons on some sliders, and have a spinning block at the front of the sliders adjusted to constantly keep the cannons pointed in the right direction. this way, when it fires, the recoil won't transfer through the system onto the chassis because sliders have no reaction force to them.
+Jun Jet T I'm not sure I understand how this works; I'm trying to find a good way to absorb cannon shock too. Could you explain it again or maybe put up a screenshot?
With this scaling mod you could probobly make tanks that are fire proof, replace the wheels with steering blocks, replace the unpowered-wheels with swivel blocks and it would be a solid tank design!
+TheAmazingTwist I've embedded a 'polling card' card in the video to narrow the choice down to something safe! hee hee. I'm a bit scared of taking on replicas. I think they could be quite hard.
Besiege This! Nah, I've been doing replicas of machines for quite a bit and it's all down to having a good frame and keeping up with proportions. Might want to print off some nice photos with multiple angles of what you make, better than Alt+Tabing all the time (like I do...)
TheAmazingTwist Yeah mate some of your replicas are what puts me off! Mr Handy was one example... totally jaw dropping! You've done loads of spot on ones. So, yeah, I am going find some nice details drawings and pics and have them on second screen as I build.
could you add flying blocks on the front pointing the same direction as the cannons to work opposite the recoil? then put them on the same button so they activate at the same time
+Brandon Pepa I just went and tried it and it didn't work out for me. The problem I ran into is that when I have it sort of working at slow firing speed it just make it worse at high speeds. Maybe there is an optimal setting to the flying block but I haven't found it. I've tried setting the flying block to ranges -15x to -20x.
I love the noise when you delete a lot of tracks at the same time, it's like bubble wrap :P I liked the scaled out wheels btw, looks pretty cool, have you done a exo skeleton tank?
Hey Besiege This! You could copy the T-34's track and wheels design instead of putting stuff on the side of the wheels to prevent the tracks from falling off!
+MMMIK13 Yeah it does but it gets me into trouble more often than not.I always end up painting extra parts unwittingly then messing the build up. It is a good function though... I'm just a bit crap with it :D
I've been waiting to see you post a Besiege video again, which is bittersweet because I haven't uploaded in a while, and I really just should take some time to get a video done for all those creations I have.
Also I realize the padlock icon isn't making the most sense in the world right now, but I just been slightly too lazy to tweek that. The whole having blocks on top of blocks issue, I might try and look into a hotkey for fixing that so you don't get builds ruined by misclicks. Also there is a mirror option for stuff like duplicating one tank track and wanting it to be flipped. I guess it might be slightly weird when you're that far away from the normal building zone though. For the part where you had a brace issue, the hide tool is what was supposed to help with that, though I know that it has some issues right now with still blocking while hidden, that will be fixed next update.
+TheGuysYouDespise It's really not an issue with the padlock. Once you know which setting is which it works like a charm. I couldn't get mirror to work initially but I'v updated tp .40 now so I will give it another try. I would like to do a tutorial which focuses on BT & PBP2 working together as they are very powerful when used like that. I will try to include most if not all of the BT functions
Besiege This! Thepadlock is something I'll change so it when you have things unlocked it is unlocked, but with a new icon. I wouldn't bother, there is so many functionalities and dynamics between them. Mirror should have worked since 0.38 or so iirc. It mirrors along the axes, so mirror X would be if you had a mirror on the plane defined by Y and Z. I might make a mirror gizmo at some point though to visually show that, but I think it might be as confusing for some people. If it doesn't work let me know, and perhaps send me your output log.
And done, hopefully in the future you can be more careless with constant saving. I know a full undo/redo system between BT/PBP2 and Besiege would be nice, but that is just such a huge task.
+Besiege This! That'd be really helpful. Ever since v.25 rolled out, pretty much every big besieger (like you, my good friend) has been magically reshaping these blocks... XD XD. I mean, look at the workshop, it's full of it
+Mai Tuấn Huy forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/36156-precision-building-project-2-spaar-s-modloader-besiege-0-2 this one. there is a scaling section in it. hit Modify GUI button to find it
It might be good to build a self propelled artillery piece that locks to the ground as you described? Would look amazing as it unfolds and grips before aiming and firing. hmmm!
+GrandTheftGaming I think I will make a shortlist of cool tanks then work my way through them as a series. Soviet. German & US tanks and some british. where to begin?
+Miguel Eduardo On the main GUI at top left there is a 'Modify GUI' button click to open/click and grab 'scale tool'/drop it in main GUI/ click to close 'Modify GUI/ now enter values in scale boxes for each axis required. let me know if u still stuck.
It's great to see besiege back on this channel, kudos m'friend. Btw, could you send the link to which Precision Building Project mod you used? Just want to make sure I don't somehow screw up with the wrong mod (like I've done plenty of times XD)
+Peter Lin Yeah I need to get back to my roots again huh? :D here is your link dude. forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/36156-precision-building-project-2-spaar-s-modloader-besiege-0-2
Besiege This! I asked my buddy Neutex on how to install it, because I couldn't get it to work with the steps the TGYD said in the forum. I extracted the .rar archive in my Mods folder and it didn't work. The thing I need is more detailed instructions on how to instal, cause I can't seem to get it to work noo matter what i do :(
Zach Than what versions of modloader and Building Tools are you using? first up you should be using BT .v0.41. when you unpack it in mod folder take the contents of its *resources folder* and place them in the *resources folder that comes with spaar's mod loader*. If that is not there! you have *not installed modloader properly* . if it's good though just discard the *now empty* resources folder that came with TGYD's unpacked mod rar. tht should do it! let me know how you get on dude. I will help again if no good :) I take it you have the BT .dll file in place yeah?
Honestly, it might just be my computer, but the Unity 5 engine has done fuck all to help with FPS. My creations still lag to pieces if I approach ~300 parts, forcing me to lower the speed to at least 50% to get above 30fps again.
+Xenro66 I'm ok with unity 5 tbh. I don't mind going down to 50% for huge creations like 1500 etc but I try to keep my build a bit smaller now. Scaling is quite good in that you can cut down on number of blocks used.
+Xenro66 Even on my macbook it's not bad. 300 blocks typically isn't too bad for my computer, but then again, it's not the best for cpu handling. Unity 5 has definitely helped though...
+Hauckster 707 Why are you so into streaming? XD I am worried that it might be very dull watching experience for most people. I should really try it though.
+Besiege This! Yeah it's a great game. I love it. Just got into making creations. My user name on besiege downloads is ThatReallyCoolGuy if you wanna see my creations.
+xX_MLG_M3M3_M4ST3R_SWEG_Xx I did two space elevator vids already! I might even have been this first one. here check it out. th-cam.com/video/NtiZnNt7Y_E/w-d-xo.html
+Blockhaj smash . Check out the operator in the drawing www.combatgroupdynamix.com/Diorama/WargameSeries/Armour/FlakPzIV/WargameArmourFlakPzIVKugelBlitz.html that looks like a very scary and uncomfortable job!
+Danté Lopez I have googled the pike nose and while I get a lot of pictures of tanks I can't find a proper defintion of what exactly the pike nose is referring to! can you give me a link to some? I do like Russian tanks a lot. Thanks :)
two russian tanks i know for good refrence are the IS3 (isof stalin) and the IS8/t10 both tanks are a perfect representation of what im trying to say. And under the amazing reason you cant get anything out of that the look up the t95 tank thats a monster in the fiest
+The other Guy I took me a while to come around to it. I had it in one of my videos when it first came out and wasn't keen. It changed the game too much. If used correctly though it can enhance it imho.
Besiege This! Yeah if its used in small amounts, but people just overuse it sometimes on some creations ive seen some people showcasing shit creations that use too much of the block streching
hey hey a 21min video is way to long u can make like 3 shorter videos of that and im very lazy u know i dont wanna watch you build the thing i just wanna see it so i suggest u make a video how u build it and one show off video
Besiege This! Jesus, I'm going to have to get a new computer. That was really strange. I have a photo of it. So I'm not crazy lol. I guess my computer replaced every text that was Besiege to 'Defeat'.
you could mount the cannons on some sliders, and have a spinning block at the front of the sliders adjusted to constantly keep the cannons pointed in the right direction. this way, when it fires, the recoil won't transfer through the system onto the chassis because sliders have no reaction force to them.
I was thinking springs would work better. Because the way he'd set the first it up it would be very easy to add that.
+Jun Jet T I need to try that spinning block thing in conjunction with some other ideas. Is it the gyroscopic effect that does it?
+Jun Jet T I'm not sure I understand how this works; I'm trying to find a good way to absorb cannon shock too. Could you explain it again or maybe put up a screenshot?
With this scaling mod you could probobly make tanks that are fire proof, replace the wheels with steering blocks, replace the unpowered-wheels with swivel blocks and it would be a solid tank design!
+ddjjpp Hmmm. Something to thing about there. Cool
It's nice to see you back in besiege! BTW, you can also flip blocks by setting the relevant scale value to negative.
+Ross Plavsic You mean flying blocks etc.?
Anything. You're basically just stretching it in the negative direction.
Ross Plavsic Hmm... I should try that out then.
+Ross Plavsic Thanks Ross! I need to get back in deep again and explore all the new developments like XML editing etc.
This physics should be used in every video game.
Tanks are always fun to make and run, I'm curios what tank you will decide to copy first (Maybe a KV2, because it has that derpy cannon and turret?)
+TheAmazingTwist I've embedded a 'polling card' card in the video to narrow the choice down to something safe! hee hee. I'm a bit scared of taking on replicas. I think they could be quite hard.
Besiege This!

for the recoil use x10 elastic and sliders
can you make a tutorial on how to make the tank steer?
could you add flying blocks on the front pointing the same direction as the cannons to work opposite the recoil? then put them on the same button so they activate at the same time
+Brandon Pepa I just went and tried it and it didn't work out for me. The problem I ran into is that when I have it sort of working at slow firing speed it just make it worse at high speeds. Maybe there is an optimal setting to the flying block but I haven't found it. I've tried setting the flying block to ranges -15x to -20x.
+Ben Wang damn that's too bad. have you tried it in combination with the springs?
+Brandon Pepa I think I will investigate that idea thanks.
at 6:58 can you make a tank that has the treads that look like that?
I love the noise when you delete a lot of tracks at the same time, it's like bubble wrap :P I liked the scaled out wheels btw, looks pretty cool, have you done a exo skeleton tank?
+Badp1ggy Bubble wrap is great and your right it is quite close to that, Give me a link to a descent exo tank pls
Hey Besiege This! You could copy the T-34's track and wheels design instead of putting stuff on the side of the wheels to prevent the tracks from falling off!
Doesn't the building tools mod have some paint-select mode? It might be quicker than clicking on each thing you want to select
+MMMIK13 Yeah it does but it gets me into trouble more often than not.I always end up painting extra parts unwittingly then messing the build up. It is a good function though... I'm just a bit crap with it :D

TheGuysYouDespise Wow! have you updated already?
Can you put the tank on the workshop?
You could also put another cannon behind those facing backwards to negate the recoil
+Matt Damon I did that in an experiment a while back and it worked sort of but when you are using exploding cannonball mod it gets messy XD
Yeah I guess so lol
could you pls make a tutorial how to stretch blocks?
+NeelsonX1 Ok. will do. Thanks for the idea :)
+Besiege This! That'd be really helpful. Ever since v.25 rolled out, pretty much every big besieger (like you, my good friend) has been magically reshaping these blocks... XD XD. I mean, look at the workshop, it's full of it
hey Besiege This :)) I just want to ask what mod do you use to make those track so skinny?
+Mai Tuấn Huy forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/36156-precision-building-project-2-spaar-s-modloader-besiege-0-2 this one. there is a scaling section in it. hit Modify GUI button to find it
+Besiege This! Okay thanks :))
how do u strech the treads like that, what mod dose that?
Anyone know where else to get the two mods from, It seems the spiderling games forum is down and I have no idea when it will come back on.
Thank goodness you're back to Besiege, FrizB. Back to Google Chrome as well, I hope?
+Le EDM Master Besieged up, Chromed up and good to go thanks XD
Did they add tank treads to the game?
How about locking to the ground when shooting? you have plenty of space to build under.
+Tales of Tardis Not a bad idea. Should be quite easy to implement too!
:-) thanks
can't imagine a real tank doing that. However that recoil is badass
It might be good to build a self propelled artillery piece that locks to the ground as you described? Would look amazing as it unfolds and grips before aiming and firing. hmmm!
Lol, yeah. Would love to do the rollerdroid style (starwars) with 3 arms that anchor to the ground.
How do you resize parts and get small angles
+Raccoon army Resize parts using scale function on Precision Builder Project2 mod & Small angles comes form Building Tools mod
Can you try to make a replica rank of the m1a2 abrams
Or the m4 Sherman
+GrandTheftGaming I think I will make a shortlist of cool tanks then work my way through them as a series. Soviet. German & US tanks and some british. where to begin?
how to get that track? why not tell about this????
11:53 did anyone see that flaming flying yak?
are you uploading these to besiege downloads or steam? (the small one with the modded mini tracks)
If he uploads anything, it's to the steam workshop.
k
+Darth Creeper I might do later.
Yay! Not Scrap Mech!
+Dawn-Shade Scrap is good tho
+Dawn-Shade Yaaay :D
+Goldfish_Vender Agreed!
Heyo Shadé
What is that "BTT Fixes Old School" under godmodes?
+Oryx TheMad God I 'don't know. I think it's just Daniel (TGYD) from the dev team strutting his stuff XD
Besiege This! xD
How do you resize (or scale) blocks with the PBP2 Mod?
+Miguel Eduardo On the main GUI at top left there is a 'Modify GUI' button click to open/click and grab 'scale tool'/drop it in main GUI/ click to close 'Modify GUI/ now enter values in scale boxes for each axis required. let me know if u still stuck.
+Besiege This! Oh, ok Thanks! Wanted to make a monster truck, and I wanted bigger wheels, so yeah, Thanks?
+Miguel Eduardo Thanks!*
Yea! Scrap mech is fun sometimes but besiege is alwaaaays fun ;)
It's great to see besiege back on this channel, kudos m'friend. Btw, could you send the link to which Precision Building Project mod you used? Just want to make sure I don't somehow screw up with the wrong mod (like I've done plenty of times XD)
+Peter Lin Yeah I need to get back to my roots again huh? :D
here is your link dude. forum.spiderlinggames.co.uk/forum/main-forum/besiege-early-access/modding/36156-precision-building-project-2-spaar-s-modloader-besiege-0-2
Besiege This! Thanks for the link man!
I guess so, but Scrap Mechanic is still pretty rad XD.
Hey BesiegeThis! Can you help me install the Building Tools mod by TGYD?
+Zach Than What problem are you having with it?
Besiege This! I asked my buddy Neutex on how to install it, because I couldn't get it to work with the steps the TGYD said in the forum.

I will help again if no good :)
I take it you have the BT .dll file in place yeah?
I don't really know, but I'm using the modloader for V0.25
besiege forum is not working
Yay Besiege! I'll probably upload something soon too :)
Btw, you can "paint" blocks by holding ctrl+left mouse button, that way you don't have to click that much.
+Algae I know but I alway make mistakes with it. It's too quick & powerful when you are in an intricate area.
+Algae Give me the heads u p when you do. I really want to get my 'Besiege Head' back on :D
I honestly like besiege more the the other games, so please Keep doing it, and are you going to put the tanks on the workshop?
+Ahmed Moustafa I think a lot of people would agree with you there :)
Your my fav besige youtuber :)
+Fox_Jr Eemoth Thanks dude. More on the way soon :)
Pimp:)

+Xenro66 What comp do you use then?
+Xenro66 Even on my macbook it's not bad. 300 blocks typically isn't too bad for my computer, but then again, it's not the best for cpu handling. Unity 5 has definitely helped though...
What r ur pc specs
+Felix Tree GTX970 and a bunch of other cool-bits :D
Can u please stream!
+Hauckster 707 Why are you so into streaming? XD I am worried that it might be very dull watching experience for most people. I should really try it though.
HES BACK!!!! With Besiege! #BackToYourRoots ;)
+Cptn. Viridian damn besiege this, back at it again with the besiege uploads!
+Cptn. Viridian Wow! A lot of folks happy to see Besiege back on the menu! Cool dude :D
+Besiege This! Yeah it's a great game. I love it. Just got into making creations. My user name on besiege downloads is ThatReallyCoolGuy if you wanna see my creations.
I have a challenge for scrap mechani: make a space elevator like dreagast but more stable and have a space base.
+xX_MLG_M3M3_M4ST3R_SWEG_Xx I did two space elevator vids already! I might even have been this first one. here check it out. th-cam.com/video/NtiZnNt7Y_E/w-d-xo.html
Make your track longer I think 🤔
build a hovering tank next
Try building a Kv-6
+Ricardo López Zagal Ok I'll have a look at that one too. cheers
lol that big headed tank looks like a water cooler on treads
+shazbot322 It was hilarious to drive about in. I really enjoyed making it and it has given me some new ideas.
Ey do a kugelblitz in besiege.
+Blockhaj smash . Check out the operator in the drawing
www.combatgroupdynamix.com/Diorama/WargameSeries/Armour/FlakPzIV/WargameArmourFlakPzIVKugelBlitz.html that looks like a very scary and uncomfortable job!
Besiege This! I think the besiege knights can take it XD.
Try and make a pump action shotgun or something
nice video :)
+Hector Salva Juan Thanks Dude. Did you see it from Shade's link in the Slack group? :)
+Besiege This! yes! hehe why? ^^
so cool
+Andre Ventura TY :)
+Besiege This! np :)
Mr. Lee took no
Do the Russian pike nose design for your next tank chaise.i think it would be a good challenge and if you do it right I think it would be awesome . :)
+Danté Lopez I have googled the pike nose and while I get a lot of pictures of tanks I can't find a proper defintion of what exactly the pike nose is referring to! can you give me a link to some? I do like Russian tanks a lot. Thanks :)
two russian tanks i know for good refrence are the IS3 (isof stalin) and the IS8/t10 both tanks are a perfect representation of what im trying to say. And under the amazing reason you cant get anything out of that the look up the t95 tank thats a monster in the fiest
Ye gunna build WW2 tanks?! TOG II* confirmed?! :D
(Not a challenge for ye, at all... Also not crossing me fingers that ye will build one... :3)
+Shaynewarner1 TOG II ... noice mate :D btw I really miss seeing "Worna" doing his stuff. One of the best bowlers in history!
Hello
+huntsand Hi there. How's it going?
Besiege!! Yaaaass!!
+Khris Damogo At last huh? :D
finalyyyyy tyyy
+Elad Nahum Sorry for the delay! Hope you enjoy it. let me know :D
i almost came to this
i really dont like this streching blocks thing...
how come?
Lewis Gray i just dont, it just doesent look right
+The other Guy I took me a while to come around to it. I had it in one of my videos when it first came out and wasn't keen. It changed the game too much. If used correctly though it can enhance it imho.
Besiege This! Yeah if its used in small amounts, but people just overuse it sometimes on some creations ive seen some people showcasing shit creations that use too much of the block streching
Heehee
no mods please :(
i will like this video if there are no mods
this isnt possible with mods
hey hey
a 21min video is way to long
u can make like 3 shorter videos of that
and im very lazy u know i dont wanna watch you build the thing i just wanna see it
so i suggest u make a video how u build it and one show off video
+an on Yeah the jury is out on this one! Some like longer, some like shorter . I tend towards longer now.
+Besiege This! you could also write time codes in the describtion, like dels gaming. He does 45-120minute vids.
good idea! I think I might try that. Thanks :)
:)
+GMLdude :D
UUUHHHH The game you are playing says Defeat. And your channel name is Defeat This! wtf?
+James Mitchell ? I dont understand
Besiege This! Jesus, I'm going to have to get a new computer. That was really strange. I have a photo of it. So I'm not crazy lol. I guess my computer replaced every text that was Besiege to 'Defeat'.
lol
+James Mitchell Not his icon of course, right?
Peter Lin ????
1ST
What mods are you using to scale/ move/ change blocks? I really want to try this but I have no clue how :p
how to get that track? why not tell about this????
