Has anyone else noticed that it's impossible to actually HIT the fourth steam-bot while it's moving using the cannon? This is a PROBLEM!

how to make a cannon work: first, make one of the steam generators conected to the cannon, make sure you put a fuse pipe with 60 configuration, then, put an joint connector, this will be the cooling system, make a pipe out of that joint conector, and put a lot others join conectors instead of 1 block pipe, but stream vent instead of end caps, and there is it, when the fuse pipe activates, the cannon will shot, and the vents will draw the remaining steam, reloading it, thumbs up if this helped!

a tip for all you people having toruble, if your ranged weapons fire at the same time, the game lags and only one of them hits. Stagger your shots for max dps

refined my rifleman dred to kill all 4 enemies. Left engine: Branched pipe, one leading to a tank, pressure valve (60) the other looping around to the reload. Right engine, identical except for on the top elbow of the reload pipe you put the control valve, left hand side is capped, right hand goes to the kneel. Beats every single dread (including the atlanta, which i consider to be the hardest)

While I agree that there should be a Tutorial for the various weapons, I found myself using a different design for each of the levels so a "design save option" wouldn't be that useful in my opinion. Pretty good game overall though.

Once you figure out the weapons this game is awesome. Btw a "rifleman" mech will destroy most of these levels. Build a dred that has a branching pathway out of one of the engines that leads to a holding tank (each) and a 60 psi valve on the other side leading to the firing pipe of the rifle. Out of the other engine build to the switch and have one side of the switch kneel and the other going to both reloading pipes of the rifles. 3 volleys will kill all of them

BTW, the controller pipe is on left when steam is off, and on right when steam is on. FYI. btw Level 1 is hard. I quitted ^^

Not bad once you figure out how to make the silly weapons work.
HINT: Use more than one steam vent on the cannon, put them between a 60 psi valve and the cannon itself. This lets it bleed off pressure and reload while pressure builds up for another shot on the other side of the valve.
I'm still not sure exactly how the stupid switcher valve works... behavior seems to be erratic at best. =P

Wish I could've voted this higher but found it unplayable without referring to comment thread. Definitely needs some sort of tutorial or more explicit instructions.

im thirteen and i beat this game within an hour when i was 10. 10! If you look at the descriptions of each peice, it almost acts as its own tutorial. I you don't like the game then just quit!!

God I hate wasting pressure of an entire boiler powering the crouch mechanism... would be useful to have some sort of pressure distributor. Although since it is difficult to understand the game at first as is, I see how extra pieces can confuse people further.

Way too complicated of a game. I'm surprised the creator didn't think to put in a tutorial that actually teaches you how to play.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
ugn cmon people its really easy to learn this stuff all except for the rifle and the cannon(idk how to use the cannon but i do fine enough). BUT since i know that people want to know how to use the rifle I will post the instructions, LOOK NO FURTHER FOR THE RIFLE IS HERE! First combine the 2 steam if you dont need else. Use a switch 2 squares right of the bottom pipe of the rifle. Connect the switch to the bottom hole to a compression spring (if you put it upside down dont worry the game will forgive you) and modify the spring to 30 or higher if you want to actually shoot anything. Then on the other side of the switch attach a pipe turning to enter the top one. This one is your reload. Then to fight hold down for a few seconds to fire then push up to reload after each fire. If you and the rest of the people want to know then plus this thing. Maybe if it gets on the top ranks ill add cannon and else.

tip for steam cannon. use the lever one end goes to tanks the other goes to vents a lot of vents. the more the better. have the tank side with a 60 pressure switch. when you fire switch to vents, vents drain and reload.

Good idea, i did enjoy trying to work out how to make my robot work. But without a tutorial to atleast explain the basics i just ended up leaving this game as it just started to frustrate and bore me.

can you add a wax cylinder to record my design ? It's ok to make it complicated but no engineer had to write again and again a blueprint. Then It is rather complicate to turn around a tube in such a little place. I give up !
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
turtial is easy. but the oficial ficht is not simply. you must duck and use a ranged weapon. but duck is awful to make that.

You know how people take technology for granted? This is the 15th century technology and I'm already getting a headache o_o.

Just when I understood how to load both cannons awesomely fast, while ducking from an enemy projectile it told me I've ended the chapter 1. :-(
Tutorial would be nice, but it feels great to think it out byself. :-)

ok to get the cannon to work you need to put a fuse valve set to 60 , next to a joint connector. Connect the connector to the fuse and the cannon use a steam vent on the last opening. The cannon needs no pressure to reload. Vote up if it helps.

I Think this game needs a fuel tank for the flame thrower, some times it's fuel end before hitting the enemy while you need the control valve for something else....

nomatter what i do i just cant reload the cannon. even a reverse control valve with steam vent doesnt do it. how low does the pressure need to be before the cannon reloads? there's nothing lower than a steam release, surely.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
this game fails, horribly. there's no way to limit pressure to any particular direction, and crouching should really have it's own limit, rather than wasting all excess pressure. i can't get passed level 2 anyway. nothing i try works out because nothing works as i would expect it to.

God damn. I tried for half an hour until i figured out the game, think "yay this is gonna be heaps of fun know that i know how to play it" and then its only 4 missions. Really disappointing if it takes longer to figure out the game then to beat it :(

Awesome game. No need for tutorial, its more interesting to find out how to play yourself. Needs a longer sequel, with some kind of other robot bases and weapons. Maybe some upgrades eg. for boiler power. 5/5
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
Needs alot of refining.. Like maybe gauges showinghow much the steam the boilers are creating. Also it seems like some components aren`t working. Therefor it goes from a 4/5 from me to a 2/5...It just seems unfinished. Its sad when it has so much potential. :(

Needs a tutorial, I was messing with it for about 20 minutes and kept getting cataclysmic leak everytime i tried to route a corner in. needs some work.
