20:50 bro that was an absolute BUTTER
no tutorial has helped me as much as this one, thank you
Glad to help
for real👌
Txs for the tutorial. Now my tank works ;-; . Im so happy
No problem 😊
I spend 2 hours for this video... But the tank is working! Thanks!
Lol the flying bits at the end where great
This really helped a lot!
(Now I just need to make the rest of my tank work properly!)
my tanks looks so nice and works perfect TANKS for the tutorial ;D
Meanwhile me deciding I’m just gonna make it freeze a track when I press a/d:
im lowkey surprised this has neutral steering, most of the video's i watch don't so TY SO MUCH, i can do my tank design's now!
Thanks so much! Im making some sort of huge tank thing and I really needed this, Thanks so much!!
Thank you for the tank steering
I couldnt figure it out on how to make my tank steer left/right
This tank concept is on track, to be sure. Just tread carefully there, at the end. A lot to be tankful for. And all other bad, vaguely related puns. 🤪
I think the microcontroller is a main idea to convey here -- it also work with just two diesel engine with separate gearboxes and clutches. Or any other approach -- experimentation is what it is all about in Stormworks, if one is into that. Always good with up to date little tutorials for Stormworks as things change now and then, so keep up the good work.
☺
I almost made a "gaining traction" pun but refrained from it til now.
@@ProfNCognito Yeah, it might have tanked... 😅
Thanks so much bro, i wanted to make a SPAA but didnt know how to
That is one way to do it. 😁 i like the diesel-electric concept, I use it a lot.
Are you planning on making more videos showing other ways to do it?
One thing that could improve this design is using a type of power selection system that changes the max throttle of the motors, you could make it so that level one sets max throttle to 0.1, level 2 could be 0.3 level 3 0.5 etc.
Thats a good idea. And If this gets enough attention I might consider continuing on with it but for now its just to get the tracks moving for people. They should be able to build whatever engine style they want with this setup.
@@ProfNCognito Yeah, It is a good starter design. I hope you do get a lot of attention, you do a great job.
I really like trying out different ways to make them work. I have come up with about 10 different ways so far. Electric motors are definitely the most simple and great to get started with.
@@Bendigo1 good for torque too which is great for climbing.
@@ProfNCognito exactly! If only they fix the tracks so they don't feel like they are on ice when on a hill sideways, and add suspension options...
The urge to acquire game and tank intensifies.
thanks so much
TYSM!
so helpfull
When i start the engine i have to hold the start button otherwise it shuts off. And also i always steer to the right, even when going straight or reverse
How did he get the tracks to angle? I have a literally 1 block height difference from my drive to my return rollers and it refuses to make a 1 block high angle.
How do i change the idle throttle?
Edit: in the logic part of the microcontroller, add another "Add" block after the throttle Output and hook up the previous "Add" block output and a constant number output (set to whatever u want ur idle throttle to be) and the output of that "Add" block into the throttle output block
how to do it exactly tho..?
really helpfull
Hello man ! I just followed this to the letter for a diesel only engine for a lil APC and the engines slowly stalls, and sometimes it revs for no reason. Also, when the tank steers it turns so fast so it keeps doing 360’s 🤣 I need help if possible… great tutorial by the way ! ^^ : little update, the engine slows down until stalling and I don’t know what to do about this ( medium diesel engine )
Okay so i have followed the instruction and i was having a probleme the tank was constantly turning , i was ready to blame it onProfNCognito But i did some math and logic to verify it again and again and i found one error a constant value was connected to an absolute value and not a less than wich cause the probleme i post this comment bcs it happened to me and i see a lot of other people with the same probleme who was just saying that this tutorial was bullshit but actually it's not
thk you profncognito !
Thank you for making my tank go forward and do literally nothing else
Your welcome
Loved the video @ProfNCognito! Can't wait for the next video man! First video of yours that I'm watching and loving the content man! Just saw Bigman Boi test out your Gator (or at least an older version from what the Comments have said) and thought I'd come by and see what's up.... Aside from the Sky.
Have you ever tried Building or using a Landing Craft Tank Mk. 5 (LCT Mk. 5) in Stormworks or an LVT-4 Water Buffalo (Landing Vehicle Tracked) to Fight the AI Forces in the Weapons DLC? If you know what these two Vehicles are and feel up for a Challenge then I'll leave the Specs for both down below, but in case you don't know, the LVT-4 Water Buffalo was an Amphibious Vehicle use in World War Two mainly by the U.S. Marine Corps in the Island Hopping Campaign starting in Tarawa in Late 1943, but was also used by the British and Commonwealth Armies in Europe during River Crossings or more Prominently in the Battle of the Schledt Estuary in 1944 and the Rhine River Crossings in 1945 under the Nickname "Alligators". The LCT Mk. 5 was an American Development of the LCT Family with Production running from 1942 to 1944. It could hold up to 5 M4 Sherman Medium Tanks, 3 Heavy Tanks like the British Churchill Mk. VII, 9 Trucks or 150 short Tons of Cargo and the LVT-4 could hold up to 9,000 lbs of Payload in it's Rearward Passenger Compartment or 30 Fully Equipped Troops or a Single Jeep Willys MB (Albeit a Somewhat Tight fit if you're trying to move around in the Water Buffalo if you're being brought ashore so best to just stay in the Jeep). The Most Famous Operation for both of these Vehicles is The Walcheren Landings in Late October/Early November 1944 when British Royal Marine Commandos landed after the RAF bombed Breeches in the Islands Dikes some the LCT's Carrying the Commando laiden Water Buffalos could make it into the Beaches. There, the Landing Craft lowered the Ramps and the Water Buffalos with the Commandos slowly Rolled out into the Flooded areas and within about 2 weeks Walcheren Island had been secured along with about 500,000 German Soldiers (Mostly SS troops) captured.
The Colors for the Water Buffalos varied depending on who used them and which Theater they were in as well as what Time period of the War in terms of those used in the Pacific. The U.S. Marine Corps started using them in the same Ocean Gray (118, 120, 140) color as the LCVP's (or Higgins Boats) were being painted in, but as the Pacific War went on and when the Japanese started to defend from behind the Beaches and deeper into the Jungles the Marines later started painting them in Olive Drab (107, 142, 35) as well as limiting the amount of Stars or other Markings on them so as to not point out a Possible weak spot on them and eventually using multiple colors to further camouflage the Water Buffalos. In British Service they were usually painted in the British Olive Drab which was more of an Olive Green (64, 70, 39) but the Ones used for the Rhine River Crossings were painted in what might've been what the Royal Navy called "Light Sea Blue" (68, 167, 196) as they actually were blue.

Hope this Helps in some way man. I spent about an hour typing this up! Would love to see you or someone else build these two Vehicles for the Community as they will come in Handy when fighting the Enemy AI Forces in the World of Stormworks. Sorry if this is a Long read though man. This is for something that I've got in mind if you're interested in hearing about it though.
I love the historical stuff a lot. I try not to build things that are accurate builds because there are so many things that have to look right (my tucumcari build stressed me out). I try to build just for purpose now and see what strange shapes i end up with, but i use old photos of things for inspiration all the time. Everything i build is inspiration from some other thing from our past. Thanks for all the information. The discord might like this info if want to join that and post that there. No pressure.
Great tutorial! However I have an issue. I followed everything in this completely, and have quadruple checked everything, however my vehicle wants to constantly turn to the right instead of going straight when throttle is applied and cannot turn left.
Sounds like the clutch is constantly engaged.
@@ProfNCognito That's not the case tho. I reworked the micro to fit a vehicle without the clutch and it still has the same issue.
Not sure then if you've changed the MC.
I had that issue, i fixed it by checking what my clamps for the clutchs were. One was -1 to 0, not -1 to 1
Does this microcontroller work with fuel engines?
Hi! I put this controller into a medium diesel engine and I have only one problem ,the starter. I have to constantly start the engine and press w to go, like I dont have any idle power. I started the game 2 days ago btw. So I dont know how can I solve this problem, If U have an idea I would love to hear that. Thank you.
Sounds like not enough rps getting out of your engine.
@@ProfNCognito what should I do?
Can you join my discord? Lots of good builders there to help.
I gave the engine more rps but still stalling or not starting
@@ProfNCognito of course
When I press forward throttle (W) the left track accelerates faster than the right but they both have the same max RPS, any idea on how to fix this?
sounds like a rps on the gearbox
@@ProfNCognitohow would I adjust that
i need help when i go foward and turn it. turns the opposite way. but when i do it with the back its fine
I didn’t realize you had to be a mechanical engineer to play this game lol
Or close to it. Basic mechanics helps yes.
welp this game is based for engineers so its pretty limited to normal people.
@@bajsapa3892 fair enough
@@bajsapa3892I’m a normal person, I’d say I’ve pretty much figured out most of everything in this game. It’s not too bad
I’m having a problem where the inputs are delayed like when I hit right it takes a few secondes to actually turn or even with just going
Decent pc?
Yes and no other parts of the game are affected
I've ended up following your tutorial to the letter, though I didn't go for a diesel-electric engine like yours, I stuck to Diesel only, and followed your advice (setting up the microcontroller's "THROTTLE" to the engine's throttle). It up working fine, if it wasn't for the engine immediately revving as if I was flooring it, without my input, and then stalling shortly after. I changed my gears but nothing seems to change, what do you think the issue is?
Which way are your gearboxes?
They're pointing towards the sprockets, with their Turned On ratio as -1
What size modular did you build?
I'm using the medium engine, what makes it weird, in my opinion at least, is that even when idle, the engine still revs, then stalls.
Would you be willing to upload to workshop and I'll take a look.
hey im having a problem my tanks left tread is going fast and my right one is going way to slow
Gearboxes different?
How did you fix the reverse issue, and for some reason, the steering ist working for me :/
Anyone know how to make a tank have armor?? Ive made huge ones with 5 layers of blocks and it still seems super weak
Use heavy blocks, they are harder to break
all my tank steering don't work like it should - W: turning right A: goest forward D: goes backwards S: turning left, andhere goes another problem: track aren't synchronised - left is faster then right
Switch the connections.
@@ProfNCognito it didn't work
@@memz5855 are all the arrows on the tank tracks going the right way?
@@ProfNCognito yep
@@memz5855 not sure at this point. Go back and check your connections.
my whenever i turn or press a/d it's just goes forwards or backwards. pls help
Connections are wrong double check
cant find the microcontroller on steam, please help
It's not on the workshop. Just copy it. Not much to it.
how did you unreverse the controls
Somehow my tracks aren’t connecting to the drive wheel
All the wheels the same size? I sometimes mix the up by accident.
when i want to turn left or right while im holding w my engine dies
What's your gearbox at?
can you help me i did everything right and it goes super slow
Change your gear ratio?
It does not work
why in the world do you switch it up for clutch half way
never do that again
why do you keep on switching every thing at the last moment
You forgot to put power to what?
bruh mine is reversed w/s w is reverse and s is forward
Just use an invert microcontroller
@@ProfNCognito e ok
@@ProfNCognito the reverse gear boxes doesnt work anymore when holding S. outdated tutorial?
uh this didn't help me a lot my vehicle still doesn't work, i dont know how to switch to electrical connection and stuff, total rookie
When you're connecting logic(red and green lines), there's a sidebar on the left. Those would be your electrical and other stuff
Thankyou❤
You're welcome 😊
