I'm leaning more towards some sort of obby/puzzle where the dragon interferes on your way to the main room, like the floor is broken in front of you and you see its hands retracting, and maybe I could add some sensors inside its mouth that are set to the color of the room with a nand gate so when it pass over you it triggers and resets something , maybe a portal style puzzle with platforms and switches and they all reset if it catches you in its gaze, but if anyone else has any ideas that doesn't involve fighting it lol I'd love to hear them

I imagine I'll have to find the file for the title screen map and delete that to remove it, but I have to say at least this void has stuff to look at, much more interesting than all the other game modes, I just wish the land was solid enough to land on and build, next I'm going to see if I can spawn a block out there using the glitch and build off it, it would be pretty cool to expand my building area in the title screen

I finally figured out how to kind of control this glitch. I think the staring spot is the center of the map offset by where the pump is on your creation once you weld it the position updates based on how far from the starting spot you moved. it always spawns relative to the last position it was welded as weird as that seems, funnily enough with my elevator, if I have the timing wrong on it will spawn blocks too but they stay relative to the vehicles position without being welded with this one it always spawns in the same spot no matter where you move, the position only changes when you weld it again. I have no idea what makes this glitch so different between the 2 creations. And it seems like some sort of glitch welding is possible with this I used it to make a double piston

the elevator is climbing a 2x2 rail, I have guns taking out a block every 20 blocks or so in a rotation so there's no stretches longer than about 20 blocks without an interruption to prevent the physics trying to short cut its calculations, it's able to raise stop and lower plus it can build its own rail when you reach the top to keep going higher

I wanted to see how many rockets I could launch before it lags, I reached 256 before it started slowing down, afterwords a bunch of rockets got stuck to the skybox and it reminded me of stars, they even twinkle

I just made the 2nd level, the first level the platform you stand on is stationary, for this one the shooting platform moves left right up and down forward and backward so you have to constantly adjust your aim to keep on target and I plan on making level 3 where the balls also come out moving left or right while the platform is also moving, I figure between shooting from a moving platform and trying to hit a ball that's also moving left or right as well as falling should be pretty difficult

the hardest part will be the print head, first I need to figure out a gimble or aiming mechanism that will allow it to steer its path when you're building a new one and be able to start a new path when you're on the ground or be able to just go up any existing path, after that I have to figure out how to make it so the print head can move out of its own way to allow it to reverse, I want to be able to reverse all the way back off a path and be able to pick another existing path or just start a new one whenever you want

It's funny when you're traveling faster than a spud, they look like they're shooting backwards and apparently, they don't hit the gun no matter what way they come out of it

I also made a little test to see if I could disappear doors and other parts of a loose building without it yanking the whole thing with it and it actually worked decently, I have the strength as low as it will go to keep it from being too chaotic so the stuffs not getting launched out of the game most of the time, it just gets sent up a few thousand blocks usually

perfectly safe from them on my cardboard box

next I want to try and add a unit facer to get its head tracking the player then work on getting it walking so it follows you around, seeing as the wings are tiny for its size I'm just going to call it the chicken or penguin equivalent of a dragon and not worry about making it fly

It looks so weird to see it reverse but keep spinning the rear differential or whatever you would call it in the same direction, this was supposed to have reverse from the engine but apparently that won't work, the direction it goes seems to depend on where it's at in its rotation so maybe similar to the piston I'm using as a break I could use them to push it into the position for reverse or forward then I won't have to even worry about having the engine capable of reversing

they are stronger than an electric motor but weaker than gas and servo controllers. I included a quick walk through on how to hook them up for a tank setup if anyone wants to mess around with them here's a link if anyone wants to try them https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3721268893

And few more random bugs related to this glitch I ran into in challenge mode, I'd say the void transporter is not survival friendly, but I thought it was funny that the rest of my creation was always apparently behind me according to the connection before it completely broke off and after it broke it would no longer let me start the challenge, nothing happened when pressing the button, also another odd bug i had several massive buildings setting over the void and when I started the challenge a building was duplicated and spawned on the platform i deleted all the buildings and the extra still spawned until i placed the lift and deleted it

just imagine x-files music playing in the background

It would be pretty funny to see something like this in a challenge, imagine you go to open a door and the building its attached disappears instead

can you imagine how pissed friends would get if you started slapping these on their creations in multiplayer
