Well he claims that you would need 32 buttons on the control seat yet somehow it magically works with three buttons in three different locations

May Klang have mercy on you and your beautiful build

I usually don't like building with subgrids, but this is cool as hell.

I love subgridding. It makes large warhead missiles much more compact.

Always thought of doing a play through where your cargo containers are loose and you need to shuffle them around. This is a really cool idea!!

Came here from the Facebook group. This is one of the coolest things I've ever seen in the game for sure.

Thank you! :D

This is worthy of the box award!

Useful on realistic settings, where cargo takes up more room.

amazing mate!

All i see is the starwars drone drop ships but in reverse hahahah good job!

See... now im picturing 4 of these on a rotor-wheel. It would make a rotatable storage system.

Man this looks really cool

Awesome

Hi, nice work. You can improve your design by adding an event controller for autodocking with the connector. Like this you can make a one button loading process ;)

Already have it as a one button operation with E brake functionality, but i agree, a trigger when connected would be cool. Only concern is that the containers are merged to the ground, so if you forget to unmerge, things may go pretty wrong. This just might be resolved with the remote update, a merge toggle off via remote channel that triggers when connector lock would probably be a natural update. (E-brake: pressing the trigger button again after the process starts will stop or start the sequence during movement without braeking the logic (hopefully))

This is pretty cool. But as a very wise Engineer sometime said: "Oh subgrids; subgrids will make this safer".

Man, now make satellites in the system which connect everything to that modular cargo

Very cool! Now we only have to make a missile version of this container. Imagine a “civilian” freighter ship launching dozens of containers at some poor patrol vessel. **Communications Officer** - I report, FFG-504 “Nailgun Massacre” Frigate is approaching a civilian cargo freighter “The Cicada Song” for inspection. **Radar Operator** - Spiker, spiker, 1 o’clock low, 1 o’clock high, 12 o’clock low, they are everywh…

This is at the same time one hell of an elegant design for a cargo transport and unfortunately technically obsolete in SE, as transfer of cargo is instantaneous. All the more praise to the creator for designing it not out of necessity but for love of detail. This is where engineering meets art.

@@Kennet0508 I don't think so, since the sorter has to well sort, even through normal conveyors it's not instant, just mostly instant, like mostly dead.

This is greasy. good work.

Disconnect the connector after the merge block activates. Many issues with Klang can be solved with a merge block but having the connector still on with the merge can lead to instability.

@Kennet0508

2 ай бұрын

Probably not a good idea considering that the cargo would fall to the ground since the connector is the only thing it's connected to. When placing it on the ground, i would agree, a quick release and reconnect would be smart. But that would have to add logic which is made easier in the signal update coming soon

@@Kennet0508 Yea I re-watched it and saw that. The first time I watched it I didn't notice the merge block until the end where you moved the camera to see it from the top side and it looks like the merge block is attached to the container. Merge blocks are a wonderful tool for avoiding Klang but they are not 100%, you still have sub-grids at play but they help. Can you do the same setup but have the merge block attached to the container instead? If you can do that and then disconnect the connector you will improve the odds for stability.
