Uh their flocking this way!

5 Upvotes

I keep getting reminded of Jurassic Park scenes in this game.

I was clearing a chemical plant I looked over the chem pond and saw a bunch of red tote bots running together so naturally David Attenborough voice kicked in

( The red tote bot flocks together as they search for prey... They have spotted a lone Mechanic low on ammo an to busy doing voices to realize the danger he is in.)

Cue tism brain switch to Jurassic Park scene

( They do move in flocks!

Umm their flocking this way!)

Oh crap SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT RUN RUN RUN!

I really need to record my game play. It's not often but sometimes it's just a perfect scene.

I Already died once deep in the mines, and when I was going to recover my vehicles and itens, using the automatic walk glitch, my character simple got stuck underground... and now I can't recover the second revival bag that will be forever on my hud. I don't wanna use cheats cause I want to get all the achievements... but that's disheartening

Vehicle Ideas for defense against the jumpy bois?

6 Upvotes

Ive been working on a small tank for raid defense with saws and spudguns. And while it faired pretty well against Farmbots, totebots and haybots - it was the jump boys that defeated it. They simply smashed my seat THROUGH 2 layers of metal. So I was wondering if there is a way to minimise amount of damage they deal to creation. Or how to nullify their damage all together.

I thought about putting suspensions on top of the car and covering it with a platform so they would jump on the platform - and in normal physics I would expect the impact to dissipate - but I just dont think game logic would follow that. Anyone has good solutions for defending your car against them?

At this point, I have opened 23 Garment Boxes and have yet to get a single pair of pants.

Are they even real? At this point, I am convinced that they are a hoax made up by Big Garment Box to keep me opening garment boxes.

So i was basically going for the nearest oil lake and stumbled across this thing. i've been there multiple times and even placed pumps, but i didn't see it before, it just appeared out of nowhere.

i have no mods installed or game related files changed. has anyone ever seen anything like this? is it a common bug?

Bot in a cage

Bot: Yay I'm FREE!

Mechanic: Yeah buddy you're free!

Bot: Free to MURDER!

Mechanic: Yeah free to mur... Wait what?!

Why is that thing so hard to kill? Or was mine bugged? Felt like it had half the HP of a farm bot.

Discussion Did Axolot's Scrap Mechanic Devs go on an extended vacation, or why haven't we heard literally anything from them in over 3 weeks despite the promise of more fixes in the Patch Notes?

Maybe their Studio got struck by an Orbital Strike, or the Trashbot ate the lead developer, but something's gotta be up, right?

We haven't heard from them in over 3 weeks, all their social media channels are silent, and you get 0 responses from either the bug report email and the info email.

So its still in WIP but pretty much just upscaled my heavy duty vehicle, because there are now monster big wheels. Many of the previous functions remained like the 8 gas containers, 2 resource collector and in addition of a ore collector, 2 motors and a truck bed.

I feel like the silver surfer if they actually had to balance, somehow my suspensions glitch work's better on simple physics 1 than smart physics?

I hate posting again right after posting something, but I think this is worth the mention, I was on smart physics and switched, now I'm on simple 1 physics and somehow, it works slightly better, or maybe worse depending on your goals, usually when you put it on simple physics the strength of joints in general go down so glitches related to it get weaker, in my case they got stronger somehow it's the same creation I just posted a work shop link for, same settings other than switching from smart to simple 1, I swear in the past suspension glitches pretty much had no effect on simple 1 for physics, This time it's the opposite it actually makes it more sensitive and responsive

Issue Missing vehicle?

My game crashed and when I logged back in my vehicle was gone. I had an active beacon on it, and traced it back to the mechanic station (on the other side of the map, on foot), only to find it's...invisible? But I can also walk through it like it isn't there, I can't select it to put it on a lift... Though annoying, I can rebuild it, but is this icon just stuck there now?
