    1. In your pirate game, you could add some waves using three pistons moving a cluster of projectors that turn on and off as the waves rise and lower their projections beneath fixed point. You could use a few of these clusters and load each projector semi randomly from a few sets of "waves."
    2. If you ever want to do a PONG animation that might be simple in one sense. But would be a fun aesthetic to add to a large room.
    3. The Console Block allows large grid blocks to be projected at a reduced size... and is even SIZABLE. You could use small projections of jump drives, large reactors, catwalks, etc to make some interesting details.

    • @BlackArmor718
      @BlackArmor718  Před 3 lety +1

      Ronin again with the clever feedback. Awesome ideas with the waves and pong, those would be fun to do. I originally mentioned the console block in the scene with the fish tank but I cut it out for time considerations. It's a great block but pretty limited in the range of travel for the projections.

    As a new player with only 80 hours in and only having built a single (rather dull looking) base and some vaguely drivable rovers, I am astounded at the creativity here. Man built a goddamn pirate ship tabletop game. That works!
    One day I hope to build a cool ship or base that looks even a single percent as awesome as these things. Maybe in another 1000 hours!

    This is again really impressive. I have used projectors mainly as aiming guides, like your thruster but with ground down 1x1 windows. It has a center ridge and is incredebly accurate.
    Also used projectors for aiming a stabby weapon on a battlebot. We didnt allow camera's on them so a red "laser" beam helped a lot.
    I think i was aware of the potential of these blocks but none the less you inspired a lot again :D
