@Skitto493
Thank you for responding so quickly.
I understand, & I will just have see what I can do with the blueprints that already exist.
Thank you again. :)

Sorry. By my knowledge, creating a rotor head attached to a wheel has been patched out of the game for a long while now. You can still spawn in blueprints that have it, but you cannot create them from scratch anymore.

I just came across this the other day. I really want to try the technique in my own build. But even doing exactly as the tutorial video shows, I can't get it to connect/work.

Has anyone else been been able to recreate this detached spinning structure technique lately.

@Skitto493
Would you be willing to help me with getting this building technique to work.?
If so please friend request me.

Thanks :)

Everyone should own this blueprint, it is such an intelligent design. Might be the best blueprint by far.

p.s. I hopped out of it while going full speed, now everyone now and then I'll see it zooming by my base.

I wonder if this still works. I used it a long time ago and it worked pretty well. Anyone have any recent opinions of it?

dont work i cant steer

This is amazing. I'll likely use this to help build an Einerad from Mobile Suit Gundam for my roleplay scenario.

Looks COOL!:steamhappy:

@EvilNecroid you can either make the beginnings of whatever you want to build, attach it, then finish building it, or you can build it fully, then attach it.
EvilNecroid Apr 24, 2016 @ 10:10pm 
@Skitto493 so i have to build it sepereate and move it over to the suspension wheel? cant just build it on there?
Skitto493  [author] Apr 24, 2016 @ 7:33am 
@EvilNecroid Yes there is. You just need to bring the 2 pieces together, but it's a bit dangerous since it jerks a whole bunch. Basically, the rotor head attaches to the suspension wheel like it does to a regular rotor base. The only difference is that when it attaches, it will suddenly attach at the pivot marking shown in the video instead of the rotor head.

@Skitto493 sorry commented befor watching everything and now that ive looked at that video im still confused lol
is there any way to do it in survival? i only play in survival mode
Skitto493  [author] Apr 22, 2016 @ 2:07pm 
@EvilNecroid - There's a tutorial on the second video
@Robot - Yes, there's a monocycle in Star Wars. There's also some in things like Men in Black.
@southernranger98 - Hmmm... it could be any of the 3!
@Big Heehee - Woah
@DarkWolf - Thanks!
EvilNecroid Apr 21, 2016 @ 11:48pm 
how HOW i must know how this thing works?!?
everything i try to build glitches out and explodes
Oiadine Apr 19, 2016 @ 3:15pm 
Isn't this in starwars as well? a monocycle. btw these things are in steampunk tower.....only kamikaze equiped..
southernranger98 Apr 3, 2016 @ 2:38pm 
i feel like the fact you pulled this off means one of three things
1: your a geneious
2: you know black magic
or
3: you cheated like hell

thats awsome
Mike Loeven Mar 14, 2016 @ 11:35am 
Or just attach large shield generators to both grids :)
Skitto493  [author] Mar 14, 2016 @ 11:26am 
@Mike Loeven - It is possible in survival - but you have to be very cautious.
Mike Loeven Mar 14, 2016 @ 11:20am 
Does this only work in creative or can you place the rotor part onto the wheel using landing gear ?
Skitto493  [author] Mar 14, 2016 @ 11:04am 
@Mike Loeven - I tried just now - I can still attach the rotor part to the wheel, and the monocycle when spawned in still works 100% the same
Mike Loeven Mar 14, 2016 @ 10:57am 
Can this still be build at all in recent versions of SE to the best of my knowledge they removed the ability to build rotors onto suspensions due to the space bees situation
Skitto493  [author] Mar 14, 2016 @ 10:01am 
@=PD2KS=Forcedminer - It's due to the bug it uses - not sure how to explain it further other than that!
@Shadowrace112 - It's the good kind!
@Mike Loeven - I wanted to keep the Monocycle 100% mod free. You are free to attach whatever you want to it, however!
Mike Loeven Mar 14, 2016 @ 9:12am 
You should make a version of this using the energy shields mod it would prevent the outer ring from deforming as eaisly durring high speed movement
BoisterousCoder Mar 5, 2016 @ 11:46pm 
WHAT KIND OF SOURCERY IS THIS!!!!???!!!???!!!
Ω Spriggan Ω Feb 25, 2016 @ 10:35am 
Woah.......how is it not falling apart on those impacts?

looks seriously strong!
Do Furries Dream of Lizard Dicks Feb 24, 2016 @ 4:45pm 
I dont know how the author made this mod, but i do know every time i use the cycle it freaks out and crushes it's self against a space station wall or side of a mountain.


10/10 best vehicle ever
Skitto493  [author] Feb 8, 2016 @ 3:39pm 
@Terradus - Sorry, but the monocycle is unable to be produced via welders and projectors in a simple manner. A machine that makes monocycles would have to merge seperate parts together, and that process is very buggy, and will likely explode the machine.
@SadowSun - It uses a steerable wheel glitch. You can find a tutorial in my second video.
@mcarchitect01 - It's to keep the center from rotating
mcarchitect01 Feb 8, 2016 @ 2:22pm 
What's the artificial mass for?
Mach Jan 31, 2016 @ 1:44am 
I've been unsuccessfully trying to build a monocycle in SE for some time and you've not only built one, but weaponized it and apparently made it near indestructible. Kudos to you. This is impressive.
𝙘𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨 Jan 25, 2016 @ 8:39am 
the game immediately crashes as soon as I start moving foward... :steamsad:
Megazord Jan 25, 2016 @ 5:39am 
Oh, it can run on water! Amazing!
STRIKER Jan 24, 2016 @ 11:23pm 
damagewise i do find 1 issue, with the Sturdiness part, when driving on rought terrain, downhill or up hill, i often break the wheel (it also happened manytimes that part of the wheel is obliterated by a cyb,... (i mean)...Kamikazehound

as for stability, the monocycle often falls to it's side before i can counterbalance and regaing full stability, and because the wheel is operated by gyroscopes and not the suspension (sadly) i end up sliding across the land with the weapons colliding the ground before they are destroyed, i cant say for sure if its the monocycle or my driving skills, but we certainly dont pair well, i've honestly had more luck driving an APC than that, even though the monocycle is certainly tougher
SadowSon Jan 24, 2016 @ 8:02pm 
Could you please explain how this thing works?

Not controlwise, but damagewise. I clearly see it surviving massive falls but it seems to just come out unscathed. Is this using glitches or what?
Terradus Jan 24, 2016 @ 7:28pm 
Оригинально! Уникально ). Респект. Однозначно лайк!

@Loginov•Green - нет
@FluffyMuffins7 - I'm thinking about making different versions
@Zalseon - The second video is a tutorial
Zalseon Jan 24, 2016 @ 6:18pm 
how in the hell did you build this? how do you keep the wheel secured yet free floating?
FluffyMuffins7 Jan 24, 2016 @ 6:16pm 
build a drilling one? :P

nice use of inhouse glitches :D hope they dont patch em :/

@Skitto493-how do u go to ur blueprint list
Skitto493  [author] Jan 24, 2016 @ 1:47pm 
@avmf8 - Perhaps!
@Meme_Master101 - I'm trying to use this to make a tank with treads, if that can sate your want.
@Asso85 - si può vedere come , cercando i video
@SpeedVibe - When you subscribe to it, it'll appear in your blueprint list.
