Wood may seem like a sturdy construction material in theory, but when building a three-storey high catapult, dead trees get surprisingly bendy.
The various objects and materials you work with mirror real-life physics. It provides some guidance on how to build a basic buggy, but that's pretty much it, while its guide on how to create a steerable vehicle is actually the worst way of doing it.įortunately, this doesn't matter too much, as the best and funniest way of learning in Besiege is through failure. This is as well, because Besiege's tutorial is lacking. Your building area is outlined in front of the objective, inside which is a single metal cube that will form the crux of your contraption.īesiege's toolkit is less intimidating than that of Kerbal Space Program, featuring an intuitive, LEGO-like construction system that lets you hammer out the basic frame of your siege weapon in seconds. Each stage presents you with a simple objective, starting with destroying a house. These levels are beautifully presented dioramas of death, with a handful of environmental details delicately painted onto a plain, blueish background. This realm is split into four separate Kingdoms, each of which comprises around a dozen individual levels. Only instead of building dungeons, you're building siege weapons. Besiege points you toward a perfectly nice fantasy realm and orders you to completely ruin it. The premise is vaguely reminiscent of Dungeon Keeper. This lets you turn and move simultaneously, with greater control than hinge steering, but has the downside of a larger turning circle.
This gives precise motor control, but the machine can only turn while stationary.Ī wheel weighted by ballast sits on top of the machine, generating torque when it spins. The inner wheels provide drive, while the outer wheels have opposite turning circles, which will cause the vehicle to turn in circles. This is the most flexible steering model, but is hard to control and easily broken. Here, the front wheels are controlled by adjustable hinges. Learning how to create steerable vehicles is a key skill in Besiege.
