📋 About This Mod
This is the first public version of my "Balloons" mod. It includes: Hot air balloons, helium balloons, realistic lift and drag, wind, custom made "parts", and lots more. be sure to leave a comment with any suggestions, questions, or issues. ===========QUICK START GUIDE=========== === CREATING HOT AIR BALLOONS === 1. Aim (using a tool) at any part you want to use as the balloon envelope (use a part that's centered and above the center of mass to keep balloon upright) 2. Set the diameter using the slider (1-300 ft, default 50 ft) 3. Click "Place Balloon" 4. Add burners by aiming at Number Comparator parts and clicking "Add Burner" 5. Set the Number Comparator to TRUE to activate the burner and heat the balloon (can use in game logic to toggle burner) 6. Multiple burners can be added (diminishing returns: 75% efficiency per additional burner) === CREATING HELIUM BALLOONS === 1. Aim at a Sphere 2. Set the diameter using the slider (1-300 ft) 3. Click "Place Balloon" 4. No burners needed - helium balloons have constant lift (proportional to a hot air balloon of equal size at 150°F) === CONTROLS === - Hold B key: Open vent (reduces lift and cools balloon faster) - Venting while burner is on: Reduces burner efficiency by 40% === BALLOON MANAGEMENT === - "Set Diameter": Aim at balloon envelope and press the button to change its size - "Delete Balloon": Aim at balloon envelope to remove it - "Delete Burner": Aim at burner to remove it from balloon - "Hide/Show Graphics": Toggle temperature displays and @ symbols - Maximum 50 balloons total (hot air + helium combined) - Ambient Temperature: 0-110°F (affects buoyancy and cooling) === TEMPERATURE INDICATORS === Hot air balloons show temperature and status icons: - Blue: Below 20°F above ambient (minimal lift) - [~] White: 20-60°F above ambient (light lift) - [^] Orange: 60-120°F above ambient (good lift) - [^^] Red: 120°F+ above ambient (maximum lift, you should consider turning the burner off) === WIND SYSTEM === Wind affects
