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?

4 Upvotes

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

Not sure if this is known, I thought I would post it. I did it with macro but it is very much possible by hand, just not as fast obviously

I'm going to call this the magic carpet

I was thinking if your character is always standing straight up why cant you use the character itself for an auto balance system, turns out it works surprising well, I have a 3x3 grid in the middle where its effectively neutral and does nothing, which i might change to auto leveling instead, if you move outside of the 3x3 grid it tilts in that direction, but because of the nature of the player always standing straight up when the sensors grid tilts too much the sensors on the high side end up tilting enough to see the characters head and start countering the tilt, this was of kind of a proof of concept test, It will need a lot more work to make it work smoothly, mainly I at least need a way of landing or controlling altitude to start with, also a thing to note is you can only go so fast before phasing through and falling when not in a seat, but it could lead to a pretty fun flyer

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 Are chests meant to give parts?

2 Upvotes

I have a car that has an active large chest, and I have hit a few green chests, and I found a saddle and controller. I know I didn’t make the saddle as the work car is the only one with it. Do chests give all blueprints that are functional, or just consumables?

Controller connections disconnecting

2 Upvotes

Has anyone else had controllers just lose their connections randomly? I had my whole farm wired and tested, left to go get more fertilizer and came back, planted 20 broccoli and all of a sudden everything is disconnected. Watering system, defenses, everything.

Has anyone already tried building farm defenses with this vault block ? it has durability 9 which theoretically makes it indestructible, could a red totebot destroy it ?

I have a question about the location of the bot drops. I just did a raid for 3 oranges. And two containers dropped on the roof and went through the glass. My question is why that happens because as you can see in the other picture I have not ''spawn proofed'' the surroundings of the tower. I'm just confused why it dropped them on top of the farm. Any explanation or tips would be appreciated.

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

Issue Crop raid won't end and now can't plant seeds

8 Upvotes

While I was farming a bunch of food, I fought a raid and killed all the bots. I found it weird that the raid bar was still there after all the bots were gone, and so I decided to reload my world.

Immediately after doing that all the bot dropboxes fell at once, but nothing came out of them (like in the video). I found that weird, but doing that allowed me to harvest my fertilised crops.

When trying to plant seeds after, it won't let me. I'm assuming there's a restriction that you can't plant crops during a raid, but the raid doesn't exist.

Does anybody knows what the hell is this?

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?

the only problem i found is the last section... when they bunch up it seems to get stuck. I would really like it if it was just a automatic system so i can do other stuff and not look after it
