The '''Gyro''' is a part that is commonly used as a targeting system for contraptions such a [[Building_A_Base#Missiles|missiles]], it will orient the front of itself towards a chosen target rotating anything it is welded to in the process. The front of the gyro is represented by a white circle. |

In its default state (Unpowered), it will directly aim upwards unless the option <code>DisabledWhenUnpowered</code> is on, in which it will simply stop aiming. This feature can be used to stabilize structures that rely on physics to float, for example, a structure built with [[Balloon|Balloons]] which will inevitably tip over to its heavier side without a gyro. |

If powered, it can adjust its orientation to aim at an object it is configured to seek, to choose what to target, you must simply enter text in the option <code>Seek</code>. If seek is blank it will not aim at anything. |
