Ahh, Bethesda physics, you by no means let me down. Starfield‘s no exception—and its physics engine is genuinely spectacular, capable of deal with hundreds of potatoes stuffed right into a room (with some comprehensible framerate tanks and whining out of your rig). PC Gamer’s Lauren Morton even had some enjoyable herself, shoving all kinds into that very same locker.
We have seen Rube Goldberg machines and milk rain in New Atlantis, however most of those experiments are on account of issues simply… falling down. Gravity’s stunning, however it’s predictable. You place milk cartons within the sky they usually’ll plummet, sure as cheese wheels and taxes. Earlier this week although, participant Joshohoho noticed a chance to create Starfield’s largest industrial-grade salad tosser.

Behold. The wonders of the universe exist not in any star, photo voltaic system, or marvel of pure life—however within the humble lettuce and tomato, and rolling round in an enormous steel bin. It is truthfully kinda soothing to observe, borderline aware. Regardless of how scary house may be, I will all the time have the massive salad tosser in my coronary heart.
One remark from Joshohoho caught out to me, although. “Have you ever seen my different salads?” Ah, so this individual’s a hobbyist. I can respect that. Time to see what else they have been working with. Oh. Oh no. Their salads-based physics exams simply preserve going. Right here they terrorise some harmless bystanders through the use of the gravity properly energy to crush them right into a ball of greens like The Huddle from Inside.

They use that very same energy to suck Andreja into what I can solely describe as a salad-themed torture chamber, like a wrathful god punishing its acolytes for the smallest sleight. Andreja survives the expertise, stored alive for extra rounds within the salad field. I’ve no dressing and I need to scream.

A month again from that we see Joshohoho—whose title I’m now beginning to affiliate with fiendish laughter—discovering their fixation. A swarm of salad unfolds out from a single line in Zero G, like some tear in actuality by which a lovecraftian salad god spills forth.

It even seems like Joshohoho has stopped having the ability to differentiate between salad and NPCs. “Sufficient of my salad movies. Listed here are some UC Marines getting tenderised”, they declare, posting a video of round 20 courageous troopers who’ll by no means see their households simply… flopping across the salad tosser, getting momentarily suspended in zero gravity, then collapsing again into the turbine to do all of it once more.

I am unsure what prompted these man-made horrors past our comprehension. Maybe a love of nutritional vitamins, an appreciation for fibre, or a tragic accident involving spinach. Whereas Joshohoho clearly used console instructions for many of those, the turbine itself—and its zero gravity cycle—can truly be discovered in-game. It is positioned within the Deimos Armored Transport, an deserted spaceship close to Grissom in Alpha Alpha Centauri.
