Hyperloop top speed?

[Orfevs]

I've received an achievement saying 140KmH.
Mind, I am offline most of the time, so I doubt all the achievements are registered. Wouldn't really do that simply to check top speeds.
At this time I'm pretty certain I'm well beyond mach 1.
Takes about three-four seconds across the dune desert between starter area(not the desert edge) and the quartz nodes. So is there a top speed?

Well yes. Sorta. You can get launched across the map and off it with a big enough cannon. That used to be a way of getting rid of nuclear waste. Load up the character inventory and shoot yourself off the map.

or a three entrance cyclotron version... just saying.

Hilarious! Just too bad it's 10Mw per element in the cannon. I hardly have factories running, so the constantly powered cannons are taking most of the juice.
So kids, remember to use switches for the hyperloops!

That's only to crash the game or be shot off in a random direction...
Not too eager to test it though.

See for yourself, (the exit guides direction)

how many bio burners on separate powergrid to power a standard hypercannon?

I have an 10 entrance biomass powered by 4 burners, blueprint

You can up it to 12 entrance

That answers that I suppose.
Just too bad the time it takes winding up far exceeds normal travel time.

I'm not usually staying in it that long, that is aimed at my Space Elevator, and I can choose when I exit the tube.

[Orfevs]

I see the potential in that case. Neet yeet!

How I actually use that yeeter

You brave enough to not use the parachute and use a jelly pad instead?

I would need a lot of jelly pads, because landing locations can vary.

[Orfevs]

Yeah, since you choose directions. But there's no wind, so you shouldn't drift. Unless there are other factors at work. Randomness in the trajectory in general.

how long you stay in the tube, directions you are pressing on the keyboard after launch, all effect where you land
I don't count "loops" so launch speed is going to vary, It's yea that feels right, time to hold right to exit....

[Orfevs]

Well, I'd say it's a great challenge. Love to see that on youtube - using a single pad.
Any more would be a mood killer.

@Fenix
That cyclotron is rubbish.. I've tried, but I cannot get more than 2 loops in before I get stuck in one direction regardless of distance between exit and entry.
Either the air maneuverability has changed with v1 or you must have tweaked some settings (or use mods).
Either way, cannons are crude albeit economical. I prefer accelerators despite the cost.
I did get some inspiration with the cyclotron though.
