I have bundles of incriminating evidence ("physics" videos) that show that ROBLOX weight is completely messed up. Entire buildings will fly away if you nudge it correctly, and you can stop and derail a train by jumping onto a moving one. If this is how it works in real life, then it was nice knowing you all. TL;DR, make players lighter and make models with the appropriate-sized bricks in them heavier.

You know weight is a force right? Mass is the measurement of heaviness.

Who taught you physics? Weight is the force of the Earth pulling objects towards its center (gravity). Mass is the measure of how much matter an object has within it. You can have a slab a metal and a piece of paper that are the same mass, but OBVIOUSLY they have different weights. Thing is, this game's weight is completely off, à la OP. Suggestion is to correct weight ratios.

Or, you could take advantage of the new physics engine and mess about with it.

I'm sure the physics-related games I'm playing (Natural Disaster Survival and the front page Train place) have toyed with the physics engine enough to know that fixing the weight is probably impossible. A 150-pound human does not having enough stopping power to overpower a (probably) two to three-ton train.

No, ROBLOX got a whole New rendering and physics engine a month back, you can fix weight easily.

"you can fix weight easily" "I'm sure the physics-related games I'm playing (Natural Disaster Survival and the front page Train place) have toyed with the physics engine enough to know that fixing the weight is probably impossible" "physics-related games" "have toyed with the physics engine" "fixing the weight is probably impossible" Plus, I just noticed; inertia does not exist on ROBLOX either. If I jump on a speeding train, I do not move forward with the train, I fly backwards instead. That shouldn't happen, even with wind resistance.
