Little Kerbonaut! 27 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 So I'm working on a ringed space station with 3 segments, the second segment houses the ring and the storage part of the station, my problem is I want the ring to spin but it keeps spinning the storage thing instead of the ring, when I flip the motor around it still spins the storage thing even if I move the ring to the other side of the motor, note that I'm using the method Matt Lowne showed in a video of his with the 36 symetry glitch. I don't know if I have the ring strutted together in the wrong area or the motor is just messed up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vanamonde 13,569 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Sorry, I meant close ups of the rotor assembly. Are you using a fairing base to provide attachment points? I do that as well, but you have to be really careful about exactly which nodes are getting attached. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Kerbonaut! 27 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Let me check. https://gyazo.com/551b882f17263b136a2c32108e4087a6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Little Kerbonaut! 27 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 I added a truss section to the motor with the fairing and it still spun the storage part. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vanamonde 13,569 Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 It's hard to see what's happening there. My suggestion would be to strip everything away until the rotor is bare, move it between attachment nodes until it's rotating the way you want, and then re-attach the stuff to it.

Echo__3 108 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Do you have two rings or just the one? If nothing is countering the torque of the motor, then this could be your problem. For each action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This is how I made my gravity ring. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
