the reason why you understeer so much is mainly because you don't have a rear differential: go karts have a particular steering geometry that lift the rear wheel on the inside of the turn and allow you to steer more effectively
I cant wait to see a possible piston engine, shiftable gearbox, and suspenion build. I love that these building games are creating more micromanagement for the little parts of a vehicle.
Tips: 1. You can rotate in three axis with QWEASD. WS controls the axis vertical and perpendicular with the camera ( | ), AD controls the axis horizontal and perpendicular with the camera( --- ), and QE controls the axis paralell to the camera ( O ). Movement works in the same way, with WASD being horizontal movement and QE being vertical movement. 2. You can increase the delete speed in the settings. 3. To help remember which keys to press for which tools, you can make R Rotation and T Translation (I have no idea why they are swapped by default, it makes no sense) 4. The old tractor tutorial makes a piston engine shape without any pistons, instead using electric motors (BOOOO!!!). I would recommend you look at the engine block if you plan to make piston engines in the future. All of the kits are super simple, so you can pretty much do them in any order. 5. You can toggle vehicle invulnerability from the menu you use by holding shift+q on a vehicle. You can also use this menu to turn on or off all parts on the vehicle or delete it.
25:19 Sooooooooooo. The physics I learned states that things tend to revolve around the greatest concentration of mass an object has. How massive are these character's heads to send their body with an entire go-kart orbiting around their head?????!!!!!!!
Maybe you just needed to crouch and look directly at the side in line with it to stick it on there. Seems not so much like you had it grabed from the top, more like it was grabing the center of which ever cubic unit of it you clicked; so maybe the detection for where you're placing it favors vertical connections over side connections and you have to make sure your cursor isn't intersecting any voxels touching the top and bottom faces.
Speaking of the F1 with suction, would be interesting to see you mod thus with a downwards propeller to SHOVE it onto the ground. Also, modify your gear ratio to be 1:1 maybe? Top speed is now nuts, but the acceleration was pretty bad.
Really liked this one, might check the game out. If you like complicated Lego mechanisms, get one of the supercars, their sequential gearboxes are insane.
It seems the kart is using the motor as the brakes so adding something to the front in terms of brakes or another motor might make you stop faster and if you manage to make it AWD it might become better in the exit of a curve with some acceleration
To be honest, if you were to NEVER play another game on this channel again, other than GearBlocks. I would be just fine with it. Really really excited to see more!!
I'm envisioning a multiplayer world where you can download massive blueprints with hundreds of parts, where you and your friends can get together and build massive machines. Rube Goldberg machines come to mind. Wait, wait wait wait.....\
just got the game because of you KAN and I cant wait to see what you make next im going to try to learn from what you learn just like scrap mechanic not expecting tutorials or anything but if you discover something or learns something try to give a quick rundown if you can!
when i played the tutorial i noticed that you can't really do angles at the front to lift the back tires off the ground when turning (instead of a diff go-karts just lift a tire off the ground). I changed one tire to have a rotation attachment to the axle. that way essentially only one wheel gets power, but they can travel at independent speed from one another. when running around the tutorial island I didn't notice any power imbalances between the tires. i can't wait for the devs to add adjustable angles so that a true go-kart could be made.
kAN you rotate parts not only with Shift WASD but also with Shift Q and E to rotate around the third axis. That way you don’t have to fiddle around to find the desired rotation. Love your videos man! Please play more GearBlocks I love this game
Great video. if you want your Lego F1 to be like your RC Drift Cars, it's Radio control {2.4ghz}. Remote Control is different, you use it to control TV's, Stereo's etc. The Scx24 is a great little crawler, but you need to check out the FMS FCX24 Power Wagon.
You should have the s key be brake and x be reverse, that’s how I’ve been doing it and you can adjust the brake force in the function menu of the wheels along with upping the grip of the tyre in both axis. Suspension is a weird one unless you can fit an anti roll bar mechanism in too as they get wobbly. I’ve started playing this game since your first video aha
Another possible solution to the understeer because of the fixed axles is to try to add in some rear wheel steering. Just a small amount would increase your turn in abilities.
I've been into rc cars for awhile now and I absolutely love driving these things but it was a complete mindfuck when I realized that I could sell one of my rc cars and buy two go kart frames and brand new motors from just the money I made selling one of my rcs
You need caster angle :D it’ll lift the inside rear tire off and press the outside front tire down, more grip in the front and lifting one of the rear wheel so you don’t need a differential
unfortunately you aren't able to do angles other than 90 so far. i read on steam that they are planning on changing that, but the tests keep breaking the physics
This game lloks col, but I think it can learn from the way Gmod's physgun moves objects (with and without angle snapping) and how the toolgun can attach objects (also with and without angle AND grid snapping)
I have the fully functional fast and furious charger Lego kit that I built and is just sitting on a shelf I thought about making it an rc as well just wasn't sure how to do it
What else should we build in GearBlocks?
A 6 speed gearbox
A walschaerts valve gear
tank treads lol test the physic limits
A "simple" CVT would do
A steam loco valve gear & pistons
the reason why you understeer so much is mainly because you don't have a rear differential: go karts have a particular steering geometry that lift the rear wheel on the inside of the turn and allow you to steer more effectively
A kart so big should lose the rear end more often. The cars in game drive on rails unfortunately, do there's no play on that.
With no suspension it's a battle of which end has more traction
Would love to see how much better this this with the dif
Another option is two motors
easy way is just make one wheel free spin on the back
I cant wait to see a possible piston engine, shiftable gearbox, and suspenion build. I love that these building games are creating more micromanagement for the little parts of a vehicle.
its microgement
People have done shiftable gearboxes the trophy truck u can download has a four speed sequential I have the game on steam. It’s 15$
genuinely glad to see that you can grab specific locations on a piece to move it around

It would be cool to see that build be fully improved
definitely needed a rear differential during those turns but R/C
Or just power to one wheel...
then the drive force would be more unbalanced but that is how the cheap kid cars work so true to life at least@@DickShooter
25:19 Sooooooooooo. The physics I learned states that things tend to revolve around the greatest concentration of mass an object has. How massive are these character's heads to send their body with an entire go-kart orbiting around their head?????!!!!!!!
seeing that ingame controller makes me think this would be so fun in VR.
Not enough buttons on the controllers sadly

The game doesn’t have a crouch feature
@@sdvtpplbcn Oh, yeah didn't realize he'd just moved the stuff up and not crounched.

Lets go @kan! looking forward to this series

You could try out this game called besiege, it's much fun especially for engine builders

cant wait to see multiplayer monday with this game!
Love this
I love gearblocks
Agreed
As a lego collector its astonishing how many people actually collect lego
It’s marketed to everyone, not just kids which is cool. I can’t see a little kid building the latest supercars or motorbikes on their own.

Please play more of this game you got me to buy it
Rather than going full diff rebuild just split the rear axle so the right side is free spinning
Love RC Cars Love FG RC Cars with 26cc gas engines.
A two speed transmission would help the low torque at slower speeds! I might need to get this game it looks really cool.

"me struggling to build a simple car in scrap mechanic"-i need this game!

I wonder if you could use this game to make something like Robot Wars. That'd be awesome!
actual breaks, could be cool too, not just relying on the motor to stop you ^^
you really turned it into kerbal space program at the end there
This is the next game i buy for sure it has the mechanical stuff other building games don't have
I have alot to learn

Its the no differential
This is like digital lego.
Sounded like a jet engine at the end there
I've been into rc cars for awhile now and I absolutely love driving these things but it was a complete mindfuck when I realized that I could sell one of my rc cars and buy two go kart frames and brand new motors from just the money I made selling one of my rcs
A functional pedal car would be interesting
24:00 with a direct drive gear set, you can REVERSE to break.
You need caster angle :D it’ll lift the inside rear tire off and press the outside front tire down, more grip in the front and lifting one of the rear wheel so you don’t need a differential
unfortunately you aren't able to do angles other than 90 so far. i read on steam that they are planning on changing that, but the tests keep breaking the physics
4:52 You can see 2 "centers of mass", which tells you that that they are not attached.
I have the lego technic ford GT on my shelf next to me as i watch this lmao
Pls make more i love this game
This game lloks col, but I think it can learn from the way Gmod's physgun moves objects (with and without angle snapping) and how the toolgun can attach objects (also with and without angle AND grid snapping)
kAN, you can use "q" and "e" to rotate a block on the 3rd axis.
just imagine this game with vr support
omg i have the lego f1 car too!!! the massive red and white one too right?
This is a funny coincidence haha, I went go karting today, I was 4th of the day, and with my mates we had 7 of us in the top 10 of the day😂😂
"in tune with the community" - never said any Scrap Mechanic Dev ever xd
Man I want more of these😅
I am littarally putting together RC car tires and wheels while watching this video
With how "Lego-like" the building is, it's probably fairly easy to copy some lego technic sets.
Where's my Steam Loco ;) ?
Edit: Now that I've watched the video, I really enjoyed it.. and that go-kart needs more than just rear wheel braking.
I can smell that motor when the wheels lift off the ground...
Add a dif to that good ole there kart
Z coordinate is not up is triggering me all the time watching this game xD i know its correct but for me as a blender user, i am so used to Z is UP
I didn’t know you were a M.E I’m not smart enough for school “gosh claiming a tree” but that’s my passion in well engineering
In general
this is exactly like lego - you even put the wheels on last
I have a SCX24 that i converted to a 6x6, its go a toyota pickup body with an atlis FCX flat bed
should've moved the battery to the front my guy
7:26 You wouldn't download a car. Piracy is theft /s
I thought there wouldn’t ever be a game where the devs make trash because they’re greedy… but this is… amazing
I have the fully functional fast and furious charger Lego kit that I built and is just sitting on a shelf I thought about making it an rc as well just wasn't sure how to do it
5:48 And then there is me who has about 3.7k USD worth of Lego in my room
hi kan
Would be extremely happy if we had something like this on console! Anyone got any hidden gems?
You might like stormworks
i love you kan
MAKE MORE VIDEO ON GAME WERY GOOD KAN
Gokarts are not a gokart with suspension or diff. Once you add those its a racecar
im pulling my hair out watching this ive been playing this game for years and its so painful watching you fumble and be confused
this is a stock car racing!
Early gang! Also I was 69th like (my school account was)
building system in this game isn't the most inuitive :D Damn it's a mess :D
Where cN you find this game
bread
FANCAR
Speirling
for an car like scrap mechinic
THEY WILL GET DUSTY
"You wouldn't download a car"
Wolf’s
kAN.... just make a rc car channel... please
PLAY WITH THE LEGOS PLS
the Loud footsteps are a little disturbing
plz
build an engine
You don't have a rear diff.
Diffs in this game are huge for no reason
WOULD YOU DOWNLOAD A CAR ????
First hour
Can you pls play railrods online with folowers pls like me
kAN shut up about ur legos and build lol XD
