parts and service ideas #tag.a.dev.

so I've been using mods a lot lately and i found a mod called the spotlight mod, now I've been hoping at some point something like this would be made so i added it on my phone. the mod did what it was made to do but...the lights didn't stay on the creation, they would fall off, and i was thinking that spotlight blocks could be a thing, so here are a few ideas to throw around.

angle block- now we all know we have the angled block cockpit in normal parts, but its not flat, so maybe we can get a structure block version for smooth angles on creations. another good block would be the two block long angled and corner block, we have the two block slope block, why not add the other two to make smother transitions around corners instead of having drop offs to a one by one by one angle block.

spotlight blocks/ activation control- same as the mod but in a block form, we have lights the have dynamic lighting and allow us to utilize the night time of simple planes with cars, trucks and tanks and whatever else gets built in our wonderful building world. would greatly improve vehicle creations, or if not blocks, we could have the beacon lights have headlight setting. and with activation, add the ability to be able to activate lights with like brake or gas, or whatever we need it for, I've been needing this for my vehicles so i can have true brake lights.

more attachment points on wheels- now i know this one has been brought up again and again but we need it heard. more points on wheels, that way we can create wheel hubs or even dual wheel axle setups, giving us more variety on vehicles we can make.

hollow fuselage- another highly recommended part in the community, a part that would be useful in many creations including self made guns, this way we can create new contraptions and self made weapons.

new guns- now, as grow and develop new and wacky creations, people who create big guns or tanks know the feeling when the gun fires too fast, well, I'm suggesting some bigger and slower firing weapons, allowing people to have working cannons and tanks, that way we don't need mods to make them, as of now I'm using a 16 in naval cannon mod with the fine tuner mod to make a working tank. so with slower and heavier weapons, and even with a firing sequence option so that weapons fire in a specific order(like a quad gun anti air system, it would fire in a specific order)

tank tracks (optional possibility)- tank treads would be great to make nice tanks less laggy, can make them have 25 different sizes. it can be setup like the fuselage sizing , but instead of 0.25 increments, the tracks could be expanded in 1.00 block increments up to five. same with height.

secondary sandbox ( underwater sandbox)/ controllable float blocks- now with the current simple planes world, we can see whats under the water, but if we create a sea world for players to explore the depths of the ocean? remove all islands and make under water discoveries including a broken city, it would bring imagination to a whole new level. with the blocks, we would be able to control how much we float mid game, allowing us to create subs that will go down with the flick of the VTOL, submersing into the water as the blocks release their air, letting the sub sink.

maybe even actual little character to be able walk around with, allowing for roleplay on foot or for the broken city, to be able to explore where vehicles cannot.

thats all i have for ideas for now, but hopefully maybe some of these will get into the next update. #tag.a.dev.

    @jamesPLANESii yup but we have a cockpit block called the angled block, all side of it are a triangle, we need a block version, and we need a 2 block long version of it as well as a 2 long corner block

    There is a 2 block long angled block and a 1 block long angled block in the game already. They are called angled block and long angled block.
