First off, I love the game, anything that lets me build massive off-road trucks gets an A, but actually building the drivetrain out of gear and axles I can’t quite explain how great this is.
Any game where I can race my 8 wheeled Tatra in 3rd gear (going about 120k/h) up the side of a cliff and collide midair with a prototype, plummet to the ground in a mess of gear and beams then keep on driving is firstly, a hell of a lot of fun, secondly: runs better than a pre-alpha physic game has any right to and thirdly: something I dearly want to see finished/continued
And it’s great to see that already a community is forming that want to see this game grow. continuing with this theme of growth, a few ideas for you, take what you want, ignore it all if you wish, but if I in some little way help make this game better I’ll be happy:
Have an aero foil part that produces lift at a right angle to its surface when it moves through the world.
It could be resizable like plates with lift being a function of area and speed.
Also, a rudder part, again resizable like plates with its force being a function of area and speed, that exerts a force when it’s not in line with the direction of movement.
3rd person camera when seated, when in 1st person view scrolling out changes from 1st to 3rd with continued scrolling changing the distance.
A stepper motor that rotates a configurable amount each time forward or back is pressed.
e.g a motor set to 90, will take 4 presses to do 360degrees.
Good for gearboxes, indexing or doors/hoods
The ability to type numbers into block configurations, not too necessary but useful and convenient
Combine gears. E.g 2 or more gears locked together but spin freely on an axle.
1 Length axles that join on the surface of beams/plates.
Ball joints, with a ball piece and a cup piece similar to the lego technic ball joints and suspension arms.
And for multiplayer you could just sync the input while letting each client simulate the physic separately, it’d be more than enough for some fun. maybe every few 1000ms or so sync up the location/rotation/speed
