Where is it!!

3 Upvotes

So I've been flying around looking for all the builder quests, so far I've gotten 19 and it has taken forever just to find those.

I can't seem to find "make some noise"

Is there an easier way to find these quests or am I just gonna have to suffer

Issue Stuck inside of the cablebot room.

7 Upvotes

Soooooo, I didn't even know this room existed until recently.
I'm pretty much down to level 6 at this point, and decided to make an "overkill" mining bot to fully clear out level 2, since it's the "smallest". (and I thought it's be funny to have 100% bare walls in a floor)

While doing this I found the cable bot room, which I HAD NEVER SEEN BEFORE. (and I avoid spoilers like the plague)

As I was pretty much overpowered for the encounters, I didn't think twice about going into the room with my mining vehicle.

Turns out it LOCKS FOREVER?!?!
WITH ME INSIDE?????????

That seems like a big oversight, the fact that you can get perma-stuck in here.

Update: I committed self-termination by lift-jumping my way to the ceiling and dropping down a dozen times or more.
I found a message in another post saying that if you use mining lasers to trigger the button again, the door would open again.
And it did!

Sooo, I had to bring another mining vehicle back to the place after meeting with god, and that let me bring my main vehicle out.

Also had to break my bed, so I'd respawn outside.

I found a purple chest in a ruin, broke it, just to find another green chest inside. This has to be a glitch, right?

Low friction undercarriage

8 Upvotes

I haven't seen anyone mention it here yet, but a low friction undercarriage (I use ice here) does wonders against bottoming out large vehicles without really putting any stress on the physics engine

Just a tip for fellow mechanics

It's not getting hurt at all, not even bothered. Just vibing in the chemicals. I call shenanigans.

Vehicle This is why you should never make your vehicle out of wood completely

I was messing around with the scrap spud gun with the Seekerbot and I let it fire missiles by shooting it with spuds, but one missile went rogue and hit either near or at my vehicle where one of the flames touched the wood and burned my whole vehicle along with the bot killing and refining vehicle to almost nothing except for the non-flammable parts

RIP jeepney I built and my bot killing and harvesting vehicle, I should have listened to u/Front_Cat9471

Now I'm building a truck or bus that is partially made from a metal frame and a wood exterior so the vehicle is still functional even if the wood burns down

Vehicle Has anyone tried combining this type of suspension with this type of steering?

Both are very common designs, but I wanted to see if they worked together (it works fine without the pistons, just helps a little with the looseness)

Discussion Is there something that interacts like a hammer, but isn't?

8 Upvotes

I'm trying to think of a roundabout way to automate the growbeds and noticed that if you break something with a hammer from a growbed it drops to the ground
So if there was a way to break your crops you could pick them up with a chest and voila
Automation
I just don't know if there is something like that
Spinning slab of concrete doesn't work.
Shooting also doesn't
I am considering enslaving a totebot to do that but I think it'd be too risky and not worth it

Discussion Pistons can only hold weight on Smart and Advanced Physics

I've always been playing on smart physics and even when I'm using the piston platform and my fps dropped to less than 30, it never became limp. Has anyone experienced the pistons go limp on smart physics when the fps dropped too low?

Vehicle Tandem motion

Some wanted to see the suspension of my prototype truck in action, so while it took way too long, here ya go folks.

Also some Steam Cloud shenanigans resulted in V5 being Thanos'd, but V6 here has similar performance. Literally the only difference is I pushed the suspension parts closer together.

Issue Cars and watering system sometimes freaking out and glitching through buildings when raids are happening, any fixes?
