Anyone else having issues with this and the new CTC? I was attempting to use it but the CTC kept bouncing the turret between both attached guns rather than the reference gun.

Another great idea you've posted here that will improve the game, I'll be intere3sted to see how many 'left field' ideas will stem from this block. Good onya mate.

not planned, but could

HAY! :) are you planning on removing the the small head advance rotor now then i take it?

@Sarianos: A workaround is to grind off the entire rotor, build a new rotor with included rotor head, then use the Advanced Welding mod so that you can use weld pads (basically, easy 0 thickness merge blocks) to merge whatever subgrid you want to keep.

Hopefully, but either way I figured I'd just let you know, it's not a critical issue but it does limit survival usability a fair bit.

it is likely due to the physics of the head that interfere with reattach, it might be fixable

Mostly for survival situations and some creative freedom situations, every now and then in survival I find myself needing to detach a rotor for access or re-attach a component after a messy crash or fight and often rebuilding everything just isn't practical, it's actually a pretty crippling limitation given how useful the 'attach' and 'detach' functions of vanilla rotors actually are.

why are you placing a dual head base without the head? the head should be attached when placed

@nukeguard I'm having the same problem as Lelo, clicking 'attach' on the rotor does nothing even when almost perfectly aligned.

this does work with the new update, I submitted a ticket for keen to add these to game for warfare update

this work ok with the new update?

Also, you going to add a large conveyor small grid version like you said way back?

hey, what?

hey

That rotor idea is actually what I would like to have too! With the new update I wanted to get really good at tank design, but making a compact turret is really hard. I also Aim for realism, the "breech" of the vanilla cannon would look nicer if it wasn't connected from the back but from the side.

Yes exactly.

I was thinking something like this:

Not sure if you can view that link. The Xs mark conveyor ports. A rotor like that will allow more compact arms for drilling or scaffolding, while allowing conveyor transport.

you mean a dual head with 3x3 ports?

Can we have another small grid version with the 3x3 conveyor ports?

I was wondering if it was possible to add another advanced rotor type? One that is like the dual head rotor with only one head. In other words, where the conveyor port is inline with the side of the rotor. It has always bothered me that you had to use another conveyor block under advanced rotors in order to connect it to the conveyor system. Makes things clunky and oversized. I have yet to find an advanced rotor mod that does this.

The mod is amazing, but there's one major issue I'm having with it. When you place the dual rotor down, then the large head separately, if you go in the rotor's menu, it will not let you click "attach". You can click the button but nothing happens. So the rotor and the head remain overlapped and not technically connected. If anyone has found a way around it, please let me know!

@nukeguard Hi! Can I add your mod, inside my modpack? Can we talk about this in discord? slimeradio#8842

quick fix for small head on large grid

#1 build vanilla rotor on ship/station and swap its head for small
#2 build this dual head small rotor on the vanilla small head

they are just one rotor, with a pass through rotor

Simple rename of the block with "elevation" or "azimuth" somewhere in the name. My specific question is if these script will be able to recognize that this one block has two rotors and can control them correctly? Unless this block is simply a pass through piston and both sides do the exact same rotation.

I don't know that answer, I'm guessing you would need to have the subtypeid for the scripts, or do these scripts just require you to name the block in terminal?

Can this block be used in scripts? Will it be recognizable to custom turret scripts or will modifications to those scripts be necessary?

I was banging my head against a wall trying to make a rotor turret for a tank, and this made it so much simpler. Thanks again.

yes, was just using these today for a small mining rover

nice

Such a shame that you have that music in the video recording. With all that racket, I cannot make out a single word you say.

I was just talking about cheesing a large grin head onto a small grid one. it would for sure look funny. maybe not practical either.

not currently, would require designing a new block to make it look nice for attaching a large head. Now whether you mean a large small grid head(3x3) or a large grid head, idk.

oh my can you drop on a large head ?

oh this is sweet.^^

Xurik, thats what this does. The center is rotating separately from the two caps.

How about a rotor that rotates around the center block?

Great work!!! It's very helpful mod!

this is awesome

Oh, man. What a cool idea. I love this.

there shouldn't be an issue to just subscribing to the mod and server downloads it

it works thanks

that was some nice wobble, I use gyroscopes to control that wobble, that's klang.

i will put it on the discord because it will be easyer to upload a Gif of it wabbling

show me a pic so I can replicate

I think there is something wrong with this mod when I put a bunch of solar panels on it and I reload the game it starts shaking

Already subscribed and uprated this one too. Is it possible to add an option to link and delink the rotor heads so they can either rotate linked or rotate independantly or is the dual rotor head one piece?

wow nukeguard what the odd like 4 month a go be for Sep 28 i needed some like this now i don't but what is the odds

O right, I forgot about the larger 3x3 small version

I don't understand why isn't this in vanilla.
