Hello Gamecrafters!
Yesterday we revealed the reworked Damped spring. If you have not seen that announcement, please do check oit out as parts of that announcement are good reference points for today's annoucnement.
The Centre Of Mass Block
Today we’re revealing the Centre of Mass Block! This will be part of the update due December 16th.
This handy block lets you move an object's centre of mass to increase stability. There are a selection of vehicles that players have made which have a tendency to tilt and fall over. Most notably vehicles that are quite top heavy like buses.
Placing the Centre of Mass block however brings the centre of mass to the point where the cube has been placed. Now, with the very same vehicle, it is much more stable while turning when you move the centre of mass to the underside of the bus.
You can make adjustments to further shift the centre of mass slightly in the configuration menu.
We applied one of the centre of Mass blocks to a Warthog created by the community and the changes in stability are seen instantly!
Centre of Mass can also affect stationary objects too and can make them more or less stable depending on the placement of the Centre of Mass cube.
This block in combination with the reworked Damped springs will be able to provide you with vehicles that feel much better to control!
