Hello everyone, Figured I’d ask here 'cause I’m getting the problem that got me to quit my previous world again: When I’ve got a sufficiently large build I want to make I can’t clearly envision how I want to assemble it. To take the current example: I’ve just finished building my Miner Mk2 after redesigning it (lost my BPs when I upgraded my PC) and I can already see that while leagues better than the Mk1 it will be insufficient for the big projects I want to do… so I’ve begun work designing it’s replacement. Thing is the replacement is a Large Grid mining vessel with a special mining bore-arm that I’d designed separately and special connector-arm to be able to transfer material to my ground-base. I’ve got those two elements but I can see several ways to set up the internals and I’m not sure which one to go with… or how I’d want to stylize the Hull since I couldn’t exactly fly a LG brick.
Anyone else get this problem? Should I design the hull first and then fit the functional bits inside it?
Update: I decided to try mapping out the Hull and fitting blocks in afterword… It’s gotten me past the choice paralysis however the hull I went with couldn’t fit thrusters to make it able to handle the amount of ore it could hold. So, I’ve moved that version off my prototyping platform and will be starting over with the built version as a reference model as I like the overall shape. Going to use the other method of building out the functional blocks then wrapping the hull design around that.
Will post the Workshop link once it’s done as I’m really liking taking a liking to this ship.
