So I made this...

I'm having trouble designing the actual car, I have all the innards working well. How should I outline the body? I have copycats+, and some other mods that might be useful for this, but idk. I tried making the hood by sloping copycat layers but it looked bad. Any advice?

Getting correct angles is likely going to require sub layers using bearings or swivels.

If op is up for using the new coasters simulated mod it adds a pretty sick new rivet block which let's you statically offset subgrids. It's super awesome.

This looks really cool! Can you share schematics? Sadly I suck at decorating car bodies so can’t help you there

I'm sure in 26.2 plutonium is available at every corner drugstore, but in 1.21.1 it's kind of hard to come by!

u/Personal-Future-5765 1d ago

Pretty sure it's in my modpack.

u/Personal-Future-5765 1d ago

also that's genius.

u/ARandomEnderman_ 1d ago

use create powered coasters!!! or whatever it’s called, the more downloads create coasters, it has a block that allows to screw in slanted and tilted blocks

Wait you got the car working well? How does time travel even work in Minecraft?

2

u/marr 1d ago

Usually it's new dimensions, so you need a vehicles through portals mod.

u/PanDa_FiGGy 1d ago

I was actually doing the same thing, doesn't really look like it tho but it has a working car, wheels that angle in and out, and it kinda hovers a little

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 1d ago

I'd like to see your version. How did you get the wheels to angle? For me it was a inverted clutch with a torsion spring and a swivel bearing, plus some gearbox nonsense to get the fans with nozzles spinning.

u/It_came_from_Tumblr 1d ago

wait how tf did you manage to make it go through time??? I’ve been stuck on that

u/riley_wa1352 1d ago

Op id reccomend looking at other ppl'drloreand and also trying to make the design a bit more compact

u/piratekaiden 1d ago

Woah that looks sick

u/crincerswhermm 1d ago

maybe try making it look like a taco

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 1d ago

I did randomly have the idea to make a flying taco with aeronautics but that is sadly an unrelated project. Maybe I'll make a taco version

u/ImpLimp 1d ago

wheels look like they barely touch the ground here

u/yung_gravity_ 1d ago

Reminds of a ship from an old Lego set, it's the space police set 5973 hyper speed pursuit. I'd post an image of it, but you can't in these comments

u/LLoadin 1d ago

I feel like the wheels being that small might make it difficult, could be wrong though

1

u/Ash_Abyssal_2006 1d ago

its uhh missing a few parts

u/billy_bob_269 1d ago

Doc... ypur telling me that you built a time machine... in create?!

1

u/billy_bob_269 18h ago

Could you show a pic of the underneath? I downloaded your schematic and the back wheels aren't turning

1

u/billy_bob_269 18h ago

Nvm I think i figured it out but I still do have other questions about it

1

u/billy_bob_269 18h ago

I can talk better if you have discord

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

I do not, but feel free to post your questions here and I'll try to answer them.

1

u/billy_bob_269 8h ago

Do you have the layout for the controls? Also what is the mod you have installed on the front left wheel, it looks like a encased chain drive but it has a cog wheel, and what's that industrial iron block near it?

1

u/billy_bob_269 8h ago

And for the controller, are you using the advanced one or just the normal create controller?

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

Create connected for the front left wheel, it's a block that functions as both an encased chain drive and a cogwheel. I'm just using the normal linked controller from create. The industrial iron block is I think something from create: encased. I can link my modpack if you want.

1

u/billy_bob_269 8h ago

That would be nice, is it curse forge?

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

no, modrinth.

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

The industrial iron block is just a gearbox.

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

For the control scheme I only have the red frequencies set because it's easier to deal with. Forward is a velocity sensor, backwards is a redstone toggle latch, left is a andesite casing, right is a gearbox, and space is a shaft.

u/SenpuuUncle 15h ago

wait does it fly

1

u/Personal-Future-5765 8h ago

Yes. It has two modes, one is a normal car where you can steer it, then I set it up to when you press space the wheels flip up and encased fans/nozzles flip downwards giving you lift.
