This is by far one of the most essential physics propeties required in Besiege in the next major update.
Also I'd like to note that the developers don't pay much attention to the community's suggestions. They just add things to the game without opinion of the people who play it. I just want to ask that the game devs should be more open to our ideas.
Now, back on topic. The community is daily building bigger and more advanced in Besiege, with all its current capabilities and features. But then sometimes ideas come to a stop when there's limitations in the game's physics, and I have a small idea that could keep Ideas rolling further.
It's simple. You all know that helicopter rotors make that big wind downwash under them, due to the huge air displacement caused by the blades. that's exactly what besiege needs. The ability to create wind from propellers. This would add new major things into the game, like the ability to create hovercrafts and powerful fans.
It would also be relatively easy to program into the game. The downwash could be an invisible ray produced by a moving or rotating propeller, that increases in power as the amount of life the propeller produces, and the ray decreases in power hrough distance, simulating real life physics. the collision of the ray with the ground produces additional lift, but at a certain stable height of the ground (which depends on the power of the "ray") and creates hovering.
This would be a great addition to Besiege, and would definitely make the workshop more interesting.
