The way my favorite part of this vid wasn’t even the production, it was the the final inspection and diagnostic process you did in the hanger. The fact that you _have_ to do that to make sure the plane is fully working properly makes it so much more realistic and immersive. So cool
Ayy, you've finally done it! I have no recommendations or advice to give because this is beyond anything that I could make. You have done extraordinarily, as I hope you continue to do.
@@StootWorts Absolutely. You should not burn yourself out to entertain complete strangers on the internet, you have a life to lead after all. Have a nice break.
***I was justified in being terrified to say anything, the factory has seemingly stopped working for no reason. I might try to fix it, but I also do not have the patience to troubleshoot the whole thing again right now*** I am terrified to say anything definitively but as of now it is producing fighters correctly more often than not. The main wing section seems to be the most inconsistent part of the process, and usually if that goes wrong the following sections will have issues too- but that's why there's a floor of grinders under just about everything. Just make sure to keep an eye on the final stage right before it enters the vetting room because the landing gear hatch covers, if they fail to lock, have a habit of landing on and locking onto the piston that carries the jet down and you might need to manually remove the jet from the area.
If you make a Publish I am sure I could try to probe at what could be causing this inconsistency. I noticed a few things that could be probable causes as I noticed there was a few moments where you sped up Pistons/hinge rotations a tad quicker then I'd recommend. Sure it slows down the process of everything, but these wobbles you get in the process can create minor inconsistencys which in a process like this 1 minor inconsistency if slightly altered could cause a catastrophe if incorrectly placed. I noticed you attempted to compensate for this, however instead of these compensations you could make the build more stable simply slowing down the speed. furthermore I love the work I have seen you put into this, and If you have any questions I am sure I can go a bit more into detail from what I have learned from working with Mech Factories.
@@noxiousvex I'd definitely appreciate the help! The main issue I'm at now is that I've updated the fighter design a lot since this video and I haven't had the patience to retool the factory to work with it yet. I'm considering just posting the factory as is so and then maybe updating it down the road if I have the patience to do so. Regardless, making the existing version more consistent would be great.
@@StootWorts yeah that's an issue with large designs and updating the production models of each piece. It begins to cause update requirements into the factory production aswell. I've recently began a project that can do 12 different variantions of a mech design but I've had to make a couple tweaks in order to make this concept work which required heavy work into making universal model make. I'm making 2 variations, 1 with a script which is 100x more stable and fluent, and non scripted version which is slower but stable enough to garentee production.
Goddamn looks like I need to get back into SE. I haven’t played in so long, and seeing creations like this is kindling my need for space again. Amazing work dude
Things like this really make me want to get back into building things again, but the realization that all those moving parts likely cause random moments of clang that destroys everything brings me back to reality.
I've never seen anything so amazing as that! I can't imagine the amount of time take to design not just the fighter but the machinery to work around that. Great work!
Possibly actually... I might need to adjust some of the timers for that to work but it shouldn't be too impossible (also make sure whoever's doing your quality assurance is standing by to make quick decisions).
All these factory videos I’m seeing really make me want to make one of my own. They’re not even that impractical imo because being able to fully automate something with subgrids in survival is extremely beneficial especially now with the custom turret controller being a thing. Being able to fully automate tank production would be incredibly useful and cool.
Factories do seem pretty useful for survival (I pretty much only play creative). Though, you could definitely get away with a much simpler factory for a much simpler fighter, especially if you intend to use it in survival. As cool as this one looks, I can imagine survival mode maintenance would be an absolute pain in the ass (guessing because creative mode maintenance already sucks lmao)
this is incredible! would enabling share inertia tensor on the pistons make it more stable? Or are they enabled and it's just good ol' clang making it all bouncy?
So I gave this a try and it actually made the performance worse. I can only imagine it's because as I realized how inconsistent the physics were I took advantage of the wonkiness to make it work. Though, I might still apply it to some of the pistons that aren't involved in complicated machinery, like the ones that carry the jet from one section to the next.
Build-A-Plane We are not responsible for any maimings/AI becoming sentient and bloodthirsty/Faulty weapons/Defective Models. If you have a lawsuit to file, we wont care (but seriously this is amazing i just got the game over christmas. very excited to build my own factory of sorts this looks awesome)
I see you using AQD's emissives. :D This is a tour de force of automation -- with subgrid assembly! I counted at least 10 subgrids? I just opt for the multi-grid projection mod/plugin. :P How many PCU does your entire production line cost? :D Would sharing inertia tensors help with some of the wobbling pistons? The F/A-70 itself looks amazing for creative reasons within SE. That part totally impresses me. Your timers and angles for rotor/piston positioning are astounding to me, like a Visigoth gaping at a Roman city. Does it carry its weight in cost-effectiveness, in survival play (is that one of your objectives at all)? I have a hard time justifying my survival time spent on fiddling with sub-grids, though I continue to be enamored with sub-grid vector thrust, tanks, frictionless wheeled "hover" tanks, and PMWs. Whether PVP or PVE, a flying gun brick is hard to beat time/PCU-wise -- maybe I should spend more effort on greebling the window-dressing for a gun brick. :D
I had no idea those mods existed, can you link it? I don't know the exact number, but I would not recommend this for survival. I mean, I never touch survival, but the amount of subgrids here took days in creative- I can't imagine what survival would be like. If you primarily play in survival, I totally agree that a solid brick is your best bet. But, since I'm usually in creative and don't have to worry about actually losing anything to damage, I like to go all out with the realistic/roleplay features. Even if you do keep the jet, this whole process could be made a lot cheaper both through the mod you mentioned or by making this facility a lot more compact (it's my first time making any kind of factory, so I left myself plenty of room because I didn't know how much I would actually need).

Meanwhile i can essentially build a bar of soap in terms of shape that floats off into the endless space never to be seen again, or at least until i make another one more oddly shaped.
Super cool! Thinking about doing something smaller scale in my survival world. What are the black panels that you are using to detach the wings from their mounts when you print parts? I’ve been looking for a method to detach ship parts by grinding and re-welding the mount like you did!
I've never played this game, but would it be possible to create a ship that can launch autonomous torpedos with a warhead and thrusters that fly themselves into enemy ships? The launch bays could have small factories like this that "reload" the torpedo launch tubes.
Not only is this possible, but I have a ship that has exactly this! Most of the weapons are normal block weapons but there are two missile silos in the middle of the ship, one loaded with two reloading smaller missiles and one with a reloading nuclear missile (mods). This used to be a script only thing but with the recent addition of AI blocks it should be possible without scripting now.
i can tell from the meticulous design and huge scale of your wonderful production base that YOU SIR is single with no children, lives in a basement, and doesn't have a life.
You get one point for the "no children." I'm too young for that anyways (the design took less than a day total of in-game time and it was built over the course of about five days).
Amazing program for this to work. Impressive factories. Only thing about the craft us the gunners seat should be lower then the pilots seat and also in the front like a helicopter. Makes it easier the stay in target for a 2 seater. Space jousting
I know! The fighter in the video is a single-seater though. I have since created a tandem-seat version of another fighter that does have the proper seat configuration.

It points in the direction the jet is headed! It's very useful for gauging turns and aiming at enemies like a real jet HUD (though in my world's lore the artificial horizon isn't a metal post like it is here, it's projected onto the cockpit seamlessly and also is in the pilot's visor and can be switched between depending on requirements).

How It's Made: The F/A-70
Holy shit, The amount of time this must have taken is absolutely crazy. Great work man!

@@StootWorts seriously though, from designing the plane to finishing the factory, how long did this take?
Things like this really make me want to get back into building things again, but the realization that all those moving parts likely cause random moments of clang that destroys everything brings me back to reality.
Nothing destroys itself thankfully, it just doesn't work consistently which is just as annoying.
Have you thought of adding camera's for each assembling step? Would be nice to follow the process while being in the waiting room ;)
There are cameras, I just used spectator for the sake of the video!
@@StootWorts Forget what i said :P well done mate

Thanks!
Very well done! This reminds me so much of my entry for the War Production contest. I really need to revamp my factory and add more stuff
Thank you! If you have the time, it's definitely a very rewarding task (albeit a bit insanity inducing)
Would it be possible that multiple could be built at the same time? With one fighter at each production stage?
Possibly actually... I might need to adjust some of the timers for that to work but it shouldn't be too impossible (also make sure whoever's doing your quality assurance is standing by to make quick decisions).
