Description:

An interactable mug who is determined to stay upright!

You can connect a logic signal to turn it on or off, or just leave it at its default of being on.
While on, the mug will try to sit upright. Attatch it to your vehicles to be able to keep them upright all the time.

While Suspension Glitch is great at stabilizing, there are four seperate reasons why the StabiliZING Mug is simply the superior option.

1. The StabiliZING Mug will always try to point upwards, while a suspension glitch setup will slowly veer from perfect alignment.
2. The StabiliZING Mug can be customized in stiffness. A suspension glitch is essentially perfectly stiff, with no way to make it feel more natural.
3. It is easy to keep it compact. The smallest a suspension glitch can get is 2x1x1, and that’s only if you use glitchwelding.
4. It can be turned on and off with nothing more than a logic signal. You don’t need to have any kinematics to restrict the suspension glitch.

There is bonus mug included titled the Slowing Mug. It has a feature that suspension glitch can not replicate, which is to slow down in midair. It is great for giving flying machines tighter controls.

I’ve made a few vehicles to showcase all of the possible ways you could use this tech, and might make a few more. Here is the collection:

This mod uses coding inspirations from "Hoverpads" by 00Fant. I was trying to figure out how everything in Scrap Mechanic Modding worked, and there were some questions that weren’t answered by the Scrap Mechanic Lua API Reference.
