PXRZ´s Workshop Hall of Projects amusement

Hi, Since around at the time of New Year´s Eve I´ve been working on a mod. Even if it´s in the middle and not from the start of the project on how much progress is done. I´m may have got some things that I might need to get some help with ideas and feedback, so go ahead and give ideas on things! Some (are quite old since many things has happened afterwards with both the engine and the car) pictures from during the progress elapse (Do not fap!): NOTE: The pics aren´t in the exact order of the pro

Here is an animation of how the PWR works and I just want to give you a better picture of what I´m thinking of.

Having done some research in college about this very subject, I can tell you having a nuclear power plant in a vehicle (in my case a truck) requires a way to store energy. These reactors can be downsized to fit in larger vehicles but cannot vary its power output very quickly. A quick Google search reveals a reasonable value is 5-10% change in power per minute for commonly sized reactors (source). In a car (tiniest reactor possible) this would probably be a bit faster since you have much less water in the steam loop, but the main restriction is probably the turbine spool up. Also remember that you require a significant amount of cooling for the condenser.

A bank of large high voltage capacitors in parallel or lithium batteries would make sure you can take off relatively quickly and then gradually switch to almost exclusively fission power. It would be a bit like a conventional electric car only much heavier and with massive power output over time at full throttle. Massive as in enough to power a small city.

Then again this is a game so just do whatever. Maybe give it massive turbo lag?

New account bro( and dat face)?

So how about a single cylinder for my cratemobile, if no nuclear power reactor as the engine itself would work?

Added 7 minutes later:

Or how if you skip the water steam part and only rely onto the warmer part as the whole "engine", that uses the control rod (at the reactor vessel) as either a throttle or "crankshaft" to get quick power?

single huge cylinder with huge blower lmao

Y U no make supah-powah-v16?

PXRZ

A V16 for my Box car? I have never thought of that, but also it would be nearly uncontrollable since the ass is too heavy so you would perform a lot of wheelies. I might give the "Supah-powah" name thing a try (fairly funny enough name for an engine to my box).

dxg1997

How about a six turbo v16 with a roots type supercharger? I always thought the V16 that came with 2.3.0 was a bit wimpy. That and the most turbos ever fitted to a slrr engine is 4 xD

PXRZ

Was it the higher or lower the number the better at the "fully_stripped_drag" line if I want improve the aerodynamics at the .java?

Got to ask this: How do I make a headlight to perform like a lantern (glowing up basicly everything around the car within a small area)?

Rollcage

Make the handling gokart status >🙂 (ie super low turning radius.)

Holy_Shit_Man

@[deleted] - I think that the lower the number is the "better" aerodynamics you got.

Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for.

Added 28 minutes later:

Well, there are at least two problems that I´m dealing with that I can´t seem to get rid off:

The car understeers as hell at full throttle, which can I guess has to do with the shortened wheelbase and that the most of the weight is still placed at the rear.
The chassis seem to think it´s longer than it is, since it receives damage further than I want it to do (most noticeable at the rear end of the car).

Added 8 minutes later:

# Rollcage :

I will take care of the handling part last (when it comes to suspension parts only) but I do plan to make the car easy to drive with a good turning response (not only that the wheels themselves would turn a lot). Maybe I should give the car some 4WS (not as in 4WD) for better turning at high speeds?

How do I make one?

Added 12 minutes later:

Also, it would be fun if anyone made a model of a horse, so I could reuse the model as a weight distorbution for the front and call it a "dead horse" (a reference to a Top Gear episode where Clarkson test drove an Audi wagon that apparently had a V10)?

Added 25 minutes later:

Here are a few of the updates made recently on the car (would give a little hint of how it would look at the dealers when bought).

Finally gave the car a proper name instead of "Box_car Enula WRZ" and had to remove some of the following parts from the parts list:

....and here is a little weight distributor to balance the car´s weight more properly (maybe I should replace this one´s meshes to a more appropriate one) and seems to work as a bumper when hitting things:

(NOTE: There might be some stuff that I added but haven´t shown here in the thread yet)

Rollcage

needs busa engine.

PXRZ

That small? Seems as this is beginning to sound like something.

I´ll give it an own specced fantasy engine: a lightweight 1.7L H4 engine, slightly based on BB93´s revised EJ20/EJ25 engine mod.

Added 3 minutes later:

EDIT: It will feature some extra stuff too, so do not worry about lack of parts to increase power with. I will get to that when I got the main stuff done first on the engine mod itself.

PXRZ

After that I came across this, it might have a potential to be an excellent choice if slightly redesigned at the ball railing:

Added 1 hour 26 minutes later:

My redesigned version of the cut-through engine (t original one turned out to be a hoax, just so you know but I find this to have some potential to actually be functional):

The portings should be redesigned too, but how?

PXRZ

After a while, I decided that I should show a little of what boxes are being featured with this mod.

PXRZ

NEWS: The engine for the car as stock will neither be a Boxer-4, Kugel-4 or something else mentioned before. It will simply be a surprise and then I will unveil the engine when done scripting it. :bananajump:

PXRZ

Made some new progress on the car:

Two piece exhaust system (this was made to allow creative exhaust piping layouts from a single middle mounted pipe to as many as a quad or penta layout fitting of the car´s pipes):

...Still, I can´t seem to fix this annoying problem:

...just to make it more clear about the problem...

Jesus_Christ

physics? they're the invisible meshes that game uses to determine when the car collides with the world.

PXRZ

How do I make the chassis receive damage at a shorter distance as if it was smaller?

Well, I tried to adjust so that the rear end by changing the numbers at the _main .cfg _phys file entry but it seems as if barely anything has changed.
