Next episode: *Hey guys, today I'm back in beseiged, and I wanna try making a twin-reactor thorium-fuelled nuclear power plant so I can provide the power for the multi-billion dollar particle accelerator I plan to make in the next episode.*
Your first design, the one with the bombs, is similar to an Orion Drive. An Orion Drive was a study conducted by USAF DARPA and NASA to identity the efficacy of a large craft propelled by the force of a series of explosions from atomic bombs. Just wanted to inform ya.
We have this in KSP with KAL-1000 Controllers and fireworks. I used it to make a passenger craft and it worked very well got to the north pole in 13 mins.
"Hello guys, today I'm back in besiege. Today I wanna be making a functional society with a town powered by a nuclear reactor. With functional human like beings with full consciousness, now this is gonna probably be really overengineered but let's get right into it!"
@Ludwig von Koopa Jokes on you, US considered nukes to power rockets(they tested it in smaller scale on Earth with thankfully conventional explosives, spoiler: it worked)
Ah yes, I made a multi-stage rocket that was powered by steam, with the first stage being powered by endless rockets. I also used alti-meters to make it entirely automatic, so I just had to hit "V" to start the rocket, and it would go up to the limit on its own, separating every stage with no input
Using watercannons would have been much more effective as there's no random delay before it shoots and provides a smooth thrust. The only downside is that you have to increase its power over the vanilla threshold.
Video idea: I think it would be really interesting to see a cannon gun that works like a real gun that uses springs and suspension and pistons to fire and eject the used cannons. I think a sort of tube fed sort of design would be cool with possibly a pump-action to load it into the chamber. Maybe even a recoil system for when the cannon explodes, it will push a slide back and eject the round and load a new one?
Exploding bombs to propel a rocket used to be a thing in real life. Except they used nuclear bombs and it was really fast. They cancelled the experiment because it was bad for the atmosphere. It was called project orion
Imagine a sniper rifle where the whole reload happens with gears and stuff. Btw I found your channel just now, and I love it so far. Keep up the good work!
One of the things you could have done with the bombs is had a feeder at the top attached to winches or springs constantly applying pressure, the same way a magazine applies pressure to the bullets, pushing them into the gun by using a spring. Using that, the bombs wouldn't bounce upwards when propelled upwards, and it would therefore hopefully not explode.
You know I see you go on different types of sandbox building games to make all sorts of buildings but what I haven’t yet seen and would love to see is an attempt to make an engine in gmod with just basic components no addons like ACF where the engines are entity’s you can spawn in personally would love to see you take on a challenge like that engine powered car/helicopter
i recently tried to make a machine that walked with the uh expanding blocks and held on using grabbers to try to beat the first valfross level. it worked in the creative level but slid way too much in the actual level i was trying to beat. i’m curious to see if you could get something working.
Suggestion, use the piston alternating bomb system in a bomber plane. It shouldn't be too heavy, and also you can select the exact amount of bomb to drop.
You should try to build a bridge and drive a car across a gap using the planks in Teardown. I've been able to do it myself, but I don't think that I could get it to work without the bridge breaking a little. I think it would be a neat challenge.
Suggestion: Multistage Carpet Bombing airship that drops platforms of bombs that once dropped start to spin, after enough spinning bombs are released and spread out to cover a large area
I have a machine idea. What about an automatic loading system for a tank? It would be really cool and you could maybe fit it onto the tank you made a few months ago
You should make another gun maybe in the form of an assault rifle, but just use cannons as the rounds. A cannon - or ''round''- is loaded into the camber from the magazine, fires the cannonball, and then ejects the empty cannon - or ''shell'' - and chambers another round, etc. etc.

seems legit
that sounds about right
And then the next episode never comes out just like the part 2 of the eve rescue in ksp
thats pretty funny
I mean it is possible, mostly, in The Powder Toy. People have made both of those things (though probably not connected them, as far as I've seen?)

Orion is the coolest one of projects. Truly American way.
Goddamn you beat me to it!

@@ThatBoiOnLaythe We’ll probably have it as a stock engine option in ksp 2
Did they think about the radiation?
Or how about the radioactive iodine created?

Yes this is basically him
Besiege if it had a baby with KSP:
sus
0:05 "This is probably gonna end up extremely overengineered" Me: That's... That's why I'm here...
You should make weapons in ksp next. You could call it kerbal siege program lmao
Dangerous
@@ReidCaptain ""dAngErOuS"" says the guy powering a rocket by explosive forces
@@ReidCaptain I have already seen missiles dines accidently in KSP, I wonder how powerful it could become if done voluntarily.
@@divicarpe184450 RTGs clipped into each other booms pretty good if they don't hit the ground first

When attaching bombs to anything you should make the mechanism with grabbers. They do a good job at preventing them from exploding in a lot of ways.
"I used Bombs as the main source of fuel"
*WHAT*
orion_drive.exe
I absolutely love this guy's videos ive binge watched all of his and I'm still thirsty for more
“Hey guys, today i’m back in Besiege, and this time i wanna try to make a functioning time machine with a built-in graphing calculator.”
Reid:I'm gonna use bombs as the main source of power
USA goverment: you're hired
Reid Captain be like: Making a Fully Working Biological Ecosystem in Poly Bridge 2

A thinking humans solution, not what ever THIS is.
Anyways, try making a trebuchet, i cant remember if you made one already
Or try making a bomber that uses dummy bombs, not a fighter
Idea for next time: make a overcomplicated spaceship in besiege (basically a armed jet that can fly in zero gravity)
*cannons working great* "so i thought i'd try something that doesn't have a chance in hell to work as good let alone at all." *tries bombs*
U made the besiege equivalent of an Orion drive, pretty awesome ngl. Sadly no nukes involved:(
love the sort of convergent evolution with developing reaction wheels, fins, ullage motors, etc

I’m just waiting for “I made a working computer in Besige that runs Besiege”
From weird engines to weird rockets! What a journey!
Normal People: using the air balloon to get the freezing frontier achivement
Chads: "I want to build a multistage rocket"
If you use a torch or flamethrower to heat up a water cannon, it produces steam, which will propel any object it's attached to

The first rocket actually looked a little like a real rocket
orion drive?

I wasn't surprised at all when at the beginning you said, "now this is probably going to be extremely over-engineered" 😂
Great video. I love the creativity. Just wondering, what happened to the Reid’s Projects channel?
Thanks for another awesome video captain!
cool video!! also the strength slider for the springs refers to the elasticity of the springs when theyre not being activated
Imagine a sniper rifle where the whole reload happens with gears and stuff.
Btw I found your channel just now, and I love it so far. Keep up the good work!
this really is rocket science!
Thanks for the TF2 Rocket Jump tutorial. I think now I'll be a bit better at Soldier.
11:17 Newton: aigth, imma head out
Besiege video #4 of waiting for a nuclear reactor in Besiege.
You made a rocket in Besiege, now it's time to make a trebuchet in KSP

That exploding rocket at the beginning gonna be starship
If used correctly, those rectangle + triangle fan wing things are indestructible.

awesome stuff ngl
When you are tired of kerbal space program but you want to build a rocket
You've unknowingly made a functional loading system for a gun
Pretty cool!
14:30 "Wait for me!"
Besiege is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits whatsoever
*he says having a medieval nuke*
hello, i dont have any creative way to say i enjoy your content, but i enjoy your content
next time i think you should make a racecar with canon balls so it goes super fast that would be super cool!
the cannon system seems like the good basis for a gun
cant wait until reid plays minecraft with the create mod

Whenever I see a new video it almost makes my day :)
Great video
Essentially Orion Drive in Besiege. Amazing.
Besiege Space Program is looking good
i think in one previous video when in the comments you asked what you should make next, someone suggested using steam cannons
This guy should get a harverd scholarship for engineering
Suggestion: Multistage Carpet Bombing airship that drops platforms of bombs that once dropped start to spin, after enough spinning bombs are released and spread out to cover a large area
Pretty groovy
Yay a new video:)
5:50 Famous last words: So I increased the stiffness of the bombs
Good job
I have a machine idea. What about an automatic loading system for a tank? It would be really cool and you could maybe fit it onto the tank you made a few months ago
Make a BIG missile that makes a explosion so big the game crashes

Can you make a docking port too while remaining in the sky? We would like to watch :)
A cannon powered rocket makes me think of a gun powered jetpack. The idea is that since guns have so much recoil why not harness that as propulsion
Well I reloaded UA-cam at the right time...
i was screaming the whole video for him to use a steam cannon as thrust
M U L T I S T A G E R O C K E T ! ! !
I love all your siege videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓👀
You should make a cannon powered plane
Bro nice
You sound exactly like NileRed, but with more inflection
Kerbal Space Program is looking a lot more low tech than I remember.
Yesssss BESGIEGEEEEeee!!!!!!
you should make a reloading fireball cannon in this game
but it is ez
he can just use pistons to make it
and whater guns
yesssss ive been waiting for this since the first video suggestion and the voting pole you had and its finally here andd i can be 1434th to watch it
What mods do you use to change the size of things
0:03 he said it’s probably going to get over-engineered… no it will get over-engineered, tis a fact
I just saw that I was already subscribe while trying to subscribe
Multistage rocket in beside
Make a giant rock climbing crab
could you try to make one of those toy pull back cars sometime
Well now that you know you can make a controlable rocket, make a missle
Make an elevator with functional buttons (if thats possible) and try to deliver different objects to different floors
Yeah. Make weapons in KSP or poly bridge
You could make a gyroscope to keep it stable, no need to do it manually
KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
You can edit the power freely by clicking the 2.00x button and make it idk 500.00
I kept waiting for you to pull some mechanic out of a hat to make the loose bomb system make literally any sense...
Can you shoot bombs with bombs? So launch other bombs and explode on impact?
Can you build a warp drive in the next one?
next video: making destruction machines in ksp
Making a siege engine in Kerbal Space Program
What if… you used the bomb design in another orbital cannon? Not as propulsion, but as a weapon.
Semi auto handgun, could be easy now, could be hard.
