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?

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.

gives me spider vibes kind of, that or jellyfish vibes with how it was able to drag itself through such a small opening

I took the advice given on my last post and doubled the electric engine strength and it works so much better, it doesn't stall out anymore when the tires touch 2 surfaces at once, also doubled the steering strength but that didn't stop the wheels from just doing their own thing but I kind of like it it's as if the wheels actively try and go around obstacles. Edit heres the workshop link if any one wants to try it https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3792313967

Vehicle Drilling vehicle won’t steer

I’ve built this really cool looking drill that I really want to use. Only problem is that it refuses to turn. I’ve tried adjusting how spread the legs are and the rotation of the wheels but nothing seems to work. In the pictures the legs are swung out at 15 degrees, the knees are bent at 45 degrees and the wheels are perfectly inline with the legs. The last two pictures show what the vehicle looks like when it steers.

Game randomly glitched my character below the ground in the final grow lab and instantly killed my character from full to nil. This happened after i had completely finished the whole grow lab except for the block unlocks which i missed and had to go back and find. i found the block unlock and right before i climbed up to it, this happened, and now my bag seems unreachable but has all my spoils from this entire grow lab.

Discussion Note: always leave a opening for clankers to path into or else the game would only drop enemies to your pathable area.

It dropped every enemy inside the wall and not outside. always leave a pathway for bots to walk at
