https://mods-data.factorio.com/assets/c8ea5d213a28e051aef411fd15b5305f45eda4e8.png [Mod portal link] Description A mod that adds some sort of airships into the game. Based on the Aircraft mod, but hopefully more realistic. The premise of the mod is that you can now use a small airship to move ...

Ok, that is also a problem with "realism clash": An airship cannot fly so fast as the trains currently do. Think of it graphically: Something big, that is flying over the bots with 5-10 times more speed... Well, I don't know, how that will come ...

... and would be something like 4x4. Similar to trains loading/unloading would be done using adjacent inserters. 2. This should be a dropship, not airship, that utilizes turbines with a vertical landing capability. It should be really fast or otherwise it is inferior to trains in all possible ways. ...

The problem with airships is their size (halfway realistic would be the size of 4-6 wagons in length and one wagon in width) and the fixed view from above. That results in blocked sight to the things below the airship. I don't say ...

... be offset by making them slow (plus that would be realistic: trains are quick, zeppelins not so much), and maybe the docking procedures at the airship landing pad/base/thingy would also be time-consuming, so it would be preferable to have hub-outposts fed by multiple trains from other outposts ...

... rendered wires though: they are saggy, which wouldn't look good for a ropeway conveyor. An alternate to ropeway conveyor would be a dirigible (airship) which would get loaded like a train, then slowly fly to destination, get unloaded, etc. Benefit is that it wouldn't need tracks, disadvantage ...

... target * Landing pads could be reskinned chests containing liquid fuel and ammo Transports : * Like a huge logistics robot, looks a bit like an airship (blimp) * Slow, weak, only basic gun for defence (as seen here ) * Vertical take off and landing * Would require special refuelling/loading ...

... complicated:)) My thought is so: if you can handle large objects flying through the air, you might be able to repeat that for some Zeppelin-like airship. Or big structures on ground/water, like big ships, oil-platforms, fortress...

... these would be enormous and hard to build at first, being that anything later then the first tier would take steel, and lots of it. As for the airships themselves, i see there being 4 tiers of them: Tier one: Very basic, only 2 cargo slots (plus one for it's own fuel), mostly useful for that ...

Yeah, an airship is most definitely a possibility! Although it may be a bit view-obstructing.

To edit:
Yep, I had exactly this in mind. I believe I had it posted in another thread though...

Currently I thought more for airships... https://www.google.de/search?q=airship&tbm=isch --------------------------------------- EDIT: There is a third case: When the object, which should be built is a kind of transport medium. Let's ...
