Besiege | Battleship Building Timelapse

(Honestly a pretty bad tutorial video)
Demonstration is at the end.
This video is just me building a proof-of-concept battleship using the new Splintered Sea DLC. The concept to be proved is that heavy things can float (using "new" tech)
The "new" tech is just attaching barrels with very high buoyancy with heavy surfaces.
I speed up the video a lot, kinda unwatchable for a guide, mainly because I kept building in concisely and having to revise my design.
The turret set up on the ship is horrible, originally I wanted ballast turrets but I somehow couldn't make them, went to spinblocks, but they are just kinda awful. The turret drives are also quite awful, generally not very well designed.
An actual how to make decent battleship video will exist in the future. (maybe a month or something because busy)

is barrels relly better than smooth surface? *thinking*

[@yekt-yayekt]

I think smooth surface is better and this is corroborated by other people's testing. But I haven't done any conclusive testing so I cannot say much on the matter. As in regards to the video, I just chose barrels randomly, not for the fact that they are superior in performance.

@@yekt-yayekt I havent play much recently, but barrels might be better actually. Smooth surface feels so non-linear
