Little Kerbonaut! Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vanamonde Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Kerbonaut! Posted January 18, 2021 Author Share Posted January 18, 2021 I added a truss section to the motor with the fairing and it still spun the storage part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vanamonde Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 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 Posted April 9, 2021 Share Posted April 9, 2021 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
