Heyas!
I have also been playing gmod for a long time, and I enjoy building stuff once in a while, when my head's bursting with ideas, but I have a few questions regarding stuff I never really found an answer to.
1) Is there a stool anywhere that will let you make a prop spawner which can spawn things that have wired circuits on it? Just like the advanced duplicator does, just as a prop spawner? Could come in handy.
2) My biggest problem with building huge moving machines/vehicles have always been the wobbly welds. I will build something that requires the thing to be rigid, but the welds end up being too wobly when there's alot of them, which ruins all the fun. I have tried doing alot of stability welds either manually or with the smartwelder stool, which helped a little, but not enough by far.
3) Another one of my biggest problems is when I build something which is going to move around, and somewhere on this contraption which consists of alot of smaller welds, (Everything cross-welded for stability), I have.. Let's say a door in the celling that opens with a hydraulic. The problem is that once I unfreeze everything, the door goes completely BANANAS. And makes my whole contraption fly around in the air like a prop-tornado. I have tried both with rigid hydraulics, non-rigid ones with a slider attached, tried using the weld latch to keep it welded when not in use, but as soon as it's unwelded, hell breaks loose.
Would anyone have an idea how to help me? =) Help will be greatly appreciated.

@ nr. 2 i got a thing for you..
smart constraint is on the server already
just select the tool and click on all props you want to weld then right-click and it should be done

But will that completely remove the wobbly welds? Or just reduce it just like my other stool does. (The other stool that I mentioned, welds every single piece you have marked, to all the other pieces that you have marked. So everything is completely cross-welded.)

There's a parent addon that makes absolutely solid welds, however, I don't really like the way it works, so I prefer not to use it.
I think I saw an addon that spawns Adv Duped stuff, try checking garrysmod.org
And, regarding the hydrolic problem, there isn't really anything you can do. Hydrolics have always been dodgy, and probably always will.
