This is my tribute to Theo Jansen's Strandbeest.
It doesn't use infinite rotators or other modded stuff, the movement is piston-based.
To start it:
- Set throttle to 100%
- Move Trim slider up to approx. 1/4
- When the movement starts reduce throttle to 0. It should move on its own now. Speed is controlled by Trim but don't raise it too much.
It took me 3 full days and 3 attempts to make it. Still I am not really satisfied with how it moves and some parts look pretty ugly. I won't go on because it literally takes all my time (and my smartphone's battery too) so if someone would like to improve it you are more than welcome.

@IGNikolaev thank you once again! :)
@yvanblo you're welcome! Have fun :)
@iwannabeelected Amazing. I had no idea. Thank you for your response!
@yvanblo thank you! You can choose the initial position of the piston by switching its Direction setting to either Push (by default) or Pull. Note that you can do it only if you haven't attached anything to the piston's moving end.
...At least it's how it was when I last played the game.
@iwannabeelected Amazing work! Kinda glitchy, but wow! If you don't mind my asking, how did you extend the piston in designer mode? Thank you!
@TheLatentImage Thank you!
I've enjoyed these for quite some time. I'm happy to see someone pull it off in the game. Well done.
No prob =)
