I just noticed that in all the time I've played LBP 1 and 2, I've never used rods in create mode. Does anyone use these?

Not often, but I've used them. For instance, to fix a multi-part character model in its place without glueing, so it's easier to move later on.

I used to use them to suspend point bubbles in LBP1. Great for connecting two objects together when you don't want to use light/dark matter or glue objects together.

I used them quite a bit in LBP1 but not at all in LBP2.

More no than yea. All it does is connect stuffs and stay at the exact lengh you setted, mean you can't extend or bunch unless you tweek it's lengh, incase you don't know what it do...

Well, there is another use for rods: you can use them as really slow elastics! I had a piece of dissolve with a grabbable key bolted to it, and the dissolve was fixed in place with a rod. It appears that because of the freely moving bolt, the player is still able to pull the dissolve and key, stretching the rod. After letting go it will slowly go back to its original length. Useful, eh? Heartz mai glitch!!1

ILL...I'll not quote that. I suggest changing...too many implications... I haven't used them since LBP1. Even then, rarely.

To build a realistic off road vehicle you need rods. Maybe you could use rods for building a robot or something with alot of moving parts. You could set the rods to visible and use them as visuals in a level.

Yes I use them, they're really handy for applying varying forces on multiple points of an object without them interfering with each other.

Actually, I can't remember what I used them for in LBP1, but I definatly did. Hmm.

To be honest - I've used rods a lot more than elastic and springs..

To be honest - I've used rods a lot more than elastic and springs.. This is definatly true for me as well. Another thing is Sprung Bolts (is that it?). I don't think I've ever used one.

Lol, when i first looked at this title, it took me a while to remember what a rod is, but aside from that, I always sucked at using rods, and springs, and pistons. So i was not much of that type of creator.

I don't think I've ever really used them. Especially not in LBP2.

Pretty pointless now in lbp2 but it was a godsend back then. Other than that I didn't really use them at all, though, you could probably get some nifty platforming going with 'em. As for rods, I remember using them quite a lot in lbp, just can't remember what for.

It can be used as an alternative for string, its just like string except it can kind of go upwards.
