Making an Orbital Cannon in Besiege

Practical? No, but cool

[somerameomstuffxd]

Just imagine being a peasant in medieval times and out of nowhere a ramdom dude straight up comes with an orbital canon

Developers: lest's make a game where you can build medieval times machines to destroy camps.
Youtubers: So we are gonna build an orbital cannon

[isaacelkins]

You should create a shotgun in Kerbal Space Program. I think that would be cool.

After much teasing, it is finally here! Would you guys rather see me make a VTOL in Besiege or a machine gun in Poly Bridge?

[KaneyoriHK]

I actually absolutely love orbital cannons, the thought of high-powered ordinance so high in the sky it's like god just said, "Die" and explodes an area. It's so scarily amazing! This was very cool to me.

















(Also he took the hard route at sustaining height, which is rather than using the hot air balloon blocks. Though it's best to have those mods that let you input a custom value for that.)

this looks cool as hell (especially the stabilizing wheels), and the slow movement just adds to its ominous vibes. also love the aiming system. one of my favourites on this channel

[CALEBMWOODS]

I love this channel because of how creative he is.

Nice to see that NileRed has finally branched out from chemistry videos to Besiege.

A note on your original ballista, my guess as to why the bolt wouldn't fly correctly is that the center of mass was too far back. You want the center of mass of an arrow/bolt to be pretty much as far in front of the center of pressure as possible, which is my guess as to why the first bolt design almost worked but had some inconsistencies under high load. If you think about it, you want the air resistance to be a self correcting force, so you want those fletchings to be behind the center of mass so the more your bolt deviates from head on the more force is correcting it. I think that a weight in the point and less weight back by the fletchings would make it way more accurate and consistent. Would love to see a ballista with a sight or maybe a full bow from you at some point.

The ICBMs do get a bit quirky at night

[mumblety]

The FBI and the US Army are going to love this one.

Next idea: perhaps a bipedal mech suit that is able to complete every level of besiege?

[kalebriss]

I swear, one day this guy is going to publish a paper with the instructions to make a mecha.

[klemklemius]

My man really made an orbital bombardment machine! Insane! Great video.

[yorifant]

the uploads just keep comming!! thanks for that :D
maybe try to make historically accurate weird contraptions ;)
would love to see some of the old failed prototypes in this game
(like scrapman)

[tamagosalada]

Probably one of your greatest Besiege builds. The bomb targeting is really cool too!

[lordofducks]

these builds just get more impressive as time goes on

[lolzers]

This has to be one of, if not the prettiest design(s) you've made in besiege so far, great work
