What if the elevator had a connector on each end, and a receiver, so you could lock it and drop straight again? Maybe it would fall more straight, and it could transfer ore from one station to another! Asking a lot.... I know, you use a small grid for extra space around you, or a long skinny grid, and you do the initial alignment with atmo thrusters with dampners off, and right exactly when you reach 0m/s put the dampners on, then make your connector station with maybe a piston for fine tuning.

And I guess if two warheads are dropped at the same time, they drift towards each other, as their fall lines intersect at the center, and if they blow each other up, they can kick a 3rd warhead away at high enough velocity to pop out of the ground near the launch site.

i recommend staggering the launch time so the warhead that explodes first doesnt blow up the ones before it before they hit the floor and reduce efficiency.

28:08 The warheads were going so fast, the collision just doesn't work properly, but after they pass the center, they should slow down, but they will reach the same height on the other side, so it's not that they fell down and hit another one, it's that they slowed down enough that the collision started working again, but still too fast to work reliably.

The collision system seems to check not if you intersect with voxels but if you intersect with a voxel *surface* (source: accidentlly phased through the ground in survival, at very low speeds). No surface to collide with down there. Must be hitting warheads coming back after all.

what i think is happening is that instead of exploading the warheads bounce on the voxels in to random directions left or right but go up again because of an enormous speed gain in that one physics interaction. considering that SE isnt intended to have such high speed thats a possability

Imagine turning this into some sort of fast transport elevator, where at its peak there is something that can grab it safely, then later drop it.

To fix the trash collection issue, you could install this on a ship that lowers itself down into the hole so it allways is in range

I've noticed that your temperature gauge has been slowly getting hotter and hotter the closer you get to the center. A nice touch by the devs!

Once I was bored, me and a mate did a little homing missile thing with warheads, a battery, a thruster with max override, and a H2 tank. We'd just paste those m0f0s in. We dug a tunnel across the moon like that, but likely missed the center

"What goes up must come down, therefore what goes down must come up." - Newton, probably

Physics in real life is continuous but physics in a video game is discrete - that is, something like distance traveled compared to acceleration is a function that works step by step. As such, the effective result if distance traveled as a function of acceleration is a double integral - when calculated discretely, in flat amounts of distance changing frame by frame depending on velocity, and velocity changing frame by frame depending on acceleration - it's very easy for error to accumulate. This is why when physics is done with a non-fixed time step, it can result in non-deterministic behavior, even with no collisions. The amount of error building up over such a large amount of distance is most likely the culprit as to why the objects are coming back up, further than where they dropped, after phasing through because of the mentioned issue where fast enough objects will phase through the voxel geometry. The error generated by this phenomenon would be higher than that caused by floating point precision issues. However I don't have an explanation for why they seem to be coming up at different locations - floating point precision issues could still be partly involved.

That's one cool ride at the end. Now I gotta try this

"There's a chance of explosion. It has happened twice in the past, but only two times in a history of two hours of operation, so I think that's pretty good odds." Space Engineers odds? Sure, that's good. IRL? Not so much. I imagine driving for two hours and only having a couple fender benders...

Love this series!!!

another explanation besides pure speed is an explosion bounce/clang....ie some pass through the voxels out the other side then on way back through they get a bounce boost, explains why only some make it back....its more about drop timings

Love your videos

also you missed an opportunity when naming the surface restaurant: Hole's kitchen

Oh my. You have no idea the brain storm this video sparked in me. I already knew about the rubberband effect, i thought planets were solid core though.

I think that since you are probobly not supposed to dig to the center of the earth, the physics are wonky and the warheads are being bounced back up by other warheads.

This was so cool

Guns work because there is only one way for the gases to escape. You basically just created a massive gun barrel and when one of the warheads blows up at the bottom the explosion is yeeting all of the warheads that where near the bottom up to the surface. Since you have the max speed thing on that game can’t handle it so it goes through the voxel mesh.

I think what is happening is the warheads are traveling together at a speed that is so great, that when they reach the bottom of the hole the one that is slightly further down explodes, but the game isnt fast enough at generating the new voxels, so the 2nd and possibly 3rd warhead just travel through what is, for only a small amount of time, a gap in the ground. if you look closely at the time lapse 18:50, you can kind of see the slight gaps in the frames between the explosion and the generation of the new voxels

Autoplay brought me here and I wasn't looking at the screen so at first, I thought this was a science video until I heard him say "I have on a couple of occasions gone to the center of the Earth" too funny

Probably integer overflow. Because of how computers store integers, if they get too high sometimes they can just go to the lowest possible value that data type stores.

Awesome!

For the glass box, you should put a connector at the top and bottom of the craft, as well as a timer block and a battery, that way you can disconnect from one station, fly thru the planet, then reconnect to to a station on the other side automatically like an elevator.

FYI, the problem isn't that the hole isn't straight. The problem is that, as a player, you slightly influence the motion of objects when you bump into them. So when you were walking in the craft and you bumped into a wall, you created an imperceptible drift that, over hundreds of kilometers, eventually resulted in you colliding with the side of the hole. You really needed to create a button to turn off the merge block so to avoid unnecessary movements.

My theory about why the bombs are not all exploding at the end of the hole is that the terrain is updating from one explosion while another bomb is flying through. Then once they've passed where the "ground" was supposed to be there is nothing to collide with. Your theory about them colliding with each other is sound and that seems to explain the "islands" past the bottom. You probably hit the side because there probably isn't any way something would come to a rest and reverse itself without following a parabolic path, especially if there is drag modeling (even if the terminal velocity is off). Your little elevator ship probably shifted slightly as it came closer to the crest of its movement.

beautiful

Getting some serious Mystery Flesh Pit national park vibes from this.

About what happened around 17:10. Since SE isn't very good at handling high speed, the speed limit is there for a good reason. Since you've disabled that limit, you'll eventually find that your warheads are traveling at a game engine breaking speeds. When an object like that collides with the ground, just about anything can happen. Apparently the warheads are going so fast that they've unlocked the ability to glitch through solid objects. You can also do that with space ships. If you're flying fast enough, you no longer need to dodge meteors. But why do the warheads still have so much speed when they reach the surface? Just a guess: it's a rounding error that causes energy not to be conserved. It takes a while for the object to fall, and during that time the speed is calculated one step at a time and the result is always rounded to whatever precision SE uses internally for these things. With enough steps like that, the rounding errors begin to accumulate and eventually you end up breaking not just the engine, but the laws of physics too.

I wonder: If P-gravity approaches 0, and gravity generators work better the less P-gravity there is, then could you build a massive railgun? If you used artificial mass blocks, would that make it any better?

Heres my guess, so, collision boxes in most games deactivate if a object isn't near them to save resources, so, my guess is the bombs are going so fast that the Ccollision boxes don't have time to activate so the bomb clips through, the game then sees that it's under ground, and so sends it to the surface at a set velocity, you can see that they're staying at the same speed on the way up, instead of accelerating or decelerating which makes sense because If it accelerated constantly it could get stuck both in the ground and under an object, causing it to build endless amounts of speed speed, and if it decelerate it could fall back to the center, causing more physics calculations, and so if lots of objects got stuck like this by someone doing this but with blocks, it could be a major source of lag. I'm not sober so sorry if that doesn't make much sense
