Question:Rotor vibration problem (ANSWERED)

[Eviscerator]

I loaded up a saved game last night and four of my rotors are vibrating like crazy. They have armor blocks mounted on them, and a solar panel mounted on the two blocks for rotation. I rotate the rotors 90 degrees, the vibration stops. I rotate it back, it starts again. I removed the solar panels, the vibration stops. I put the solar panels back, it starts up again. Screwing with it got to be hassle so I temporarily dropped the save into creative mode to just redo the whole set up assuming that these four rotors are now glitched. Replaced the whole set up. The vibration stopped. Saved the game. Loaded it up today and the problem has returned.

Now it's just these four which I have mounted on the side my ship. The other four, two "above" and two "below" respectively, are not experiencing the problem.

Anyone heard of this? Experienced it yourselves? Have a solution? Is it a new problem, should I submit a bug report then?

yes I had the same problem. It seems that the rotors dislike the T configuration for some reason. Extending the middle collum and/or rebuilding the rotors in non-symmetrical configuration should fix the issue (tested in creative) .
Example:

Notice I have just placed a few blocks on the middle section (connected to the base rotor). This completely fixed my vibrations, and the whole setup is now fully stable.

Weird. I followed your advice and simply attached a second solar panel on an extended, and now asymmetrical light armor block arm, and the problem went away.

So strange. Thanks!

I had to increase breaking to max and switch rotors off when do not use them to fix vibration issues. Also if for some reason you have gyro on it, switch it off also.

Amazing that 9 years later this is still a problem but the solution is still the same

Hi, just share your not working setup in a new created discussion so all can share new working engineer solutions.

I have the game since Dec 2013 and I can tell we now can make way more multigrid creations than before but it may not be what we wanted to do.

Note

2014 discussion is way too old to reopen.

We lock +3 months old discussions because the game is not the same after a update where old disscussions may contain false information, discussions that don't have any activity so no new posts since 3 months. also to avoid community reports about "Necroing old" and it is in the forum rules added to pinned green messages.

Never be shy to create a new forum discussion, one problem at a time so all players can help on one idea/problem per discussions that matches the game version.
