The issue with that always comes down to stability. It might be possible to just put spinners on top to push it down when accelerating. Looking at how this guy designs a tank engine, he would probably put several gear sets in that can move at different speeds to accelerate like shifting gears, which would greatly decrease its top speed from the weight of it all. Also put spinners in front and behind for maximum push.
"I've made a whole bunch of engines before but this time I wanna try making my own" guys Reid has confirmed that Reid is not Reid, because Reid(who is not Reid(who is Reid)) made engines that Reid did not, as Reid (not Reid who is not Reid) claimed to have not made any, so this leaves us with the question: who is Reid (not Reid but Reid) and why did Reid (real) give Reid (who is not Reid (real)) permission to post Reid content made by Reid (not Reid) on Reid's Reid channel for Reid (not Reid who is not Reid) to post Reid videos to?
Reid (not Reid who is not Reid) gave Reid (who is not Reid) permission because Reid (who is not Reid) told Reid (Not Reid who is not Reid) that it'll be funny, and therefore Reid (not Reid who is not Reid) gave Reid (who is not Reid) permission to post on Reid's (not Reid who is not Reid) channel. Hope that clears some stuff up
Honestly seeing how much and fast you have grown as a channel is amazing to me, your videos are amazing and I hope you continue to make such great videos.
The concept of this game is really good, but the gears are too glitchy for my taste... When it comes to physics sandboxes i didn't see any real improvements over the years... Gears in half life 2 would probably work just as good.
I mean, the game isn't built for entire engines to be built in it, if you actually want to build something accurate you probably want to use tools that were made for building those things which, surprisingly, does not include a lot of games
I’m relatively familiar with tank in Besiege and for vanilla yours is really good. Tank treads are infamously awful in Besiege and are know to break but yours manages to go up that lip super easily. Great work.
I love this build, though i feel like the track performance could have been improved by only keeping the sprocket (driven gear) and idler (non-driven gear) wheels, and replaced the middle one with either one big normal wheel or a smaller handful of normal wheels. In doing so you would lessen the number of places teeth are directly engaging with the track, creating less points for binding up and providing a smoother ride, in theory. Definite major bonus points for track tensioning the tried and true tanker way: just push out the idler wheel until the track is correctly tensioned. Always love seeing the chaos of a new build. Cheers.
very cool. Also, if you ever need to use tracks again I'd recommend widening them, might help with traction/grip as well as keep them from falling off as much. (idk besiege well at all; this is just based on tanks in the real world)
Humans have tried inventing an armored all-terrain vehicle for many hundreds of years with limited success only to finally nail it down in the turn of the 20th century because this is what it takes to make an engine with treads capable of carrying a large cannon and armor plating. It's a very tedious engineering science to figure out and learn and perfect because of the insane logistics that go into each and every gear, piston, drive shaft, motor, etc. It's so many complicated parts coming together and working together just to accomplish the goal of a large bulletproof vehicle that shoots a massive projectile, and that's just by itself, god forbid another tank shoots those treads or some soldier jams a pipe or grenade right in there and screws up soooooo much work. The engineering that goes into such monster vehicles is absolutely precious art, you did an amazing job building this by yourself all historical and scientific things considered
This was a random similar video on my sidebar, and my brain immediately started melting. No idea what he's talking about, but I like all the fancy moving parts
I think you could get away with a front gear drive if you added a front gear that doesn't touch the ground, so it wouldn't push the track on the ground. The piston solution is actually a real thing in some tanks. I think that's all I can think of from my experience with tanks (I was the gunner so I don't have a lot more knowledge about this part of the tank). Loved the engine btw, beautiful!
cool build! gonna be that guy and say it, the gears at 90 degrees are called bevel gears, planetary gears are concentric, sun gear in the middle, planetary gears around that, and a ring gear around that.
I havent played in so long, there are all these new functions that i am like "WHAT IS HAPPENING DUDE" Like, the sensors and timers, balloon blocks, and all that stuff. When i stopped playing, i remember the last blcoks added were stuff like the firework
I’d have recommended little “running wheels” I think they’re called, small free flowing gears underneath the tread, they’re in a location that forces the tension in the tread and allows it to run a little easier.
if you would be able to build a very fast car that can move (as said fast but also) without problems on hills or a gatling gun with the method of shooting like the canon from the tank but with automatic reload system only one of those ideas would make me happy because you are very good at this (great video)
Programmable two-stage ballistic missile. By rotating gears manually before launch, you can key in altitude, when it will turn and plateau, when/if the second stage kicks in, and when it lands.
You can attach grip pads to the outside of the treads to improve grip Works beautifully in all my treaded designs. Tbh I havent done an engine powered one yet so you might not have enough power, but it's worth a shot
I think a bicycle would be Pretty cool to see in besiege and testing how the bike will keep itself upright when it has some speed. I explained this badly but Veritasium has a cool video on it called “Most People Don’t Know How Bikes Work”. What I’m talking about starts at about 5:36
Dammit now i wanna play besiege. I remember making a bunch of stuff. My favorite was a bike thingy, but it used 4 wheels that weee almost meshing, so it looked like 2 extra wide wheels. It was based on this one bike in the workshop, with a really unique suspension system that i ended up modifying to create a simpler bike
With my current knowledge about this game, of which I haven't played yet, this video has brought a question into my mind: Why does it need an engine and why are there so many gears
Alright... Honestly when you started with a planetary gear, I expected a completely different use for it (namely, as a differential linkage). Last I played Besiege, it didn't have logic or engines, you got stuff to move by stacking powered gears, but I suppose they are fun to play around with. Might just make my own tank now. Also, awesome kinetic weapon. Never knew grenades could be used like that. My goto kinetic launchers tended to be rubber and ballistae or steamjet launchers.
As someone who only played besiege when it first came out, how tf did y’all get so good. Just casually built an engine in the first five minutes of the video. I’m sure it took longer but like, what. How.
The thing drifting left is just besiege. The physics lean left in a minuscule amount but seems to be exacerbated by large machines with many moving parts.
Nice video, even though i have 1700h and im starting to get consistantly bored of besiege because of the lack of updates your videos are still very enjoyable to watch, nice work, could you try and make the strongest cannon you can in vanilla? That would be awesome
Boom

As a guy who used to fix bulldozers, it was pretty fun to watch the "fixes" to the tread design making them more and more like real treads.
Formula style racecar? Or a racecar in general. Anyone with me? Or making a vehicle drive as fast as possible. Would love to see that!
Yessss
Yesss

Why am I watching someone make a virtual tank in a medieval game at 4:00 AM

I,m from the year 2024/5/23 and he has 280k subs soooooo you decide the growth rate
You significantly over complicate it and it’s amazing. It’s no secret it wouldn’t be that fun otherwise. Keep the great work up!

Gears in half life 2 would probably work just as good.
There are some mods that fix the issues of the gears, but I do wish that it was a better vanilla experience

imagine how much harder this stuff would be if everything collided with everything
This game is one of the most nostalgic ones. I'm happy someone actually still plays it.
I love how insanely complex this looks, just like the minigun you made.
This man just created a perpetual motion machine in 5 mins

I can always come and watch one of your videos to have fun and learn a little. keep up the good work.

British engineers developing a new type of weapon, circa 1916, colorized.
Do you think you could build a walker? Like a ST-AT or AT-AT from Star Wars or just any type of walker.
I’ve done that actually but they are horribly complicated to make sure they can self right.
5% made sense, 100% awesome. Great content!
"apparently a tank sized hole will perfectly fit a tank."
This is insane! I never thought tank treads would be possible in vanilla Besiege. You have so many gears it looks like a clock.
You've been making SO many cool builds, I really want to see pvp combat!

“I’ve made a whole bunch of engines, but this time I want to make my own.”
Your genius is terrifying. It's pure potential. How do you come up with these ideas ? I wonder what do you do for living
"The engine kinda exploded"
If u see this u r the smartest person I know
Your builds keep getting better!!!!
As a PlaneCrazy player this is how we build tanks
No it's not NO no no we don't there's no gears in plane crazy but the biggest problem is how to make the insides of the tank fit in the outside layer
This was a random similar video on my sidebar, and my brain immediately started melting. No idea what he's talking about, but I like all the fancy moving parts
I've never played besieged. But this was extremely fun to watch someone make a gear powered tank anyway
this is legit so funny and amazing at the same time
Those tank treads are epic. :)
I think you should try adding a suspension system, and maybe a gun traverse/elevation, feel like that would be pretty cool

Like, the sensors and timers, balloon blocks, and all that stuff.

Whenever i saw a problem with the design that made me scream at screen it was fixed minute later. So satisfying.

I want to enjoy Besiege, but then I check out videos like this and my brain oozes out my nose
Damn .. hours of work for 14 minutes of video. Gz well done
I was recommended this and i dont even game. Nice tho.
But do you tank
G e a r
That video descryption is surprisingly self aware for you.
This video made me want to play this game again. Thx!
Incredible!
You have great engine designs.
Congratulations, you came up with idea of idler's spring, which was taken care of 110 years ago
New drinking game
Take a shot every time he mentions 4 bar linkage
This is some crazy skill!
you are an interesting case study in engineering

mumbo jumbo in another game 😂 😂
Programmable two-stage ballistic missile. By rotating gears manually before launch, you can key in altitude, when it will turn and plateau, when/if the second stage kicks in, and when it lands.
After all that time waiting for the final build it would have been nice to see it blow a few more things up.
reid: builds a siege weapon
also reid: "This isn't even sieging anymore..."
Trailmakers: premade engine Besiege: reinventing the car
You can attach grip pads to the outside of the treads to improve grip
Works beautifully in all my treaded designs. Tbh I havent done an engine powered one yet so you might not have enough power, but it's worth a shot
This stuff is basically steampunk but without the steam and it's beautiful, I'm not lying I hope I can make something like this one day.
This gives me a idea of making a tf2 mvm tank with the bomb n all because this could be a great base design for the moving
This guys a pro. This is like the level of Mark Rober!
wow this game looks like its been optimised a ton. cool creation by the way
it leaning to the left is probably asymmetry shenanigans

With my current knowledge about this game, of which I haven't played yet, this video has brought a question into my mind:

the engine is so complex for no reason but so cool

You can use pistons to push the bottom cogs apart to get rid of most of the slack in the treads

You can use "variables“ instead of keys for sensors
Bro I swear this man is going to make artificial intelligence next video if he is going this pace, he made a train and plane and now a tank
The Besiege PMC is expanding, now we have a sniper tank
Watch any of this guy's videos, if he says 4 bar linkage take a drink. See how long till you pass out drunk.

Hi
With suspention is very cool and satisfying to see go over bump
that first gear set you built is precisely how a car differential works
Diagonal suspension on the wheels, To get rid of track slack and to maximise surface area gripping surfaces like mountains
if you want to make a reloading gun you can make steam with the water cannon. Also, if you use grip pads they'll increase your grip
You could put those high friction grip plates on the treads to make it better at climbing
When an engineer is a programmer and a gamer at the same time!
