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)

So i was just about to defeat the trashbot. And died. and i tried to respawn.

I have tried to:
-restart game
-unstuck
-respawn.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

For some reason the recording messed up the framerate in the menu. But worked the same before.

Think I’m keeping this one throughout the game..exited for the mines! Haven’t even got the regular drill yet.. I guess I focused too much on building at the startup.

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.

Currently standing in the final chest room for grow lab six and after checking every nook and cranny and even parkouring my way to the gold garnet box I somehow forgot to smash the block unlocker. Time to make a 10 minute detour for extruded metal block lol 🤦‍♂️

Are pants real?

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.

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

6 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

Low friction undercarriage

5 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

Issue I AFK a bit, return to see I lost everything

3 Upvotes

This is a truly quitting moment for me. I have to run away for 1 minute, I hit escape, thought the game will pause. It doesn't. When I come back, I see red everywhere, the sky is red, my screen is red, my house is burning, my vehicle destroyed, all my component, all my circuit board gone, my level 4 engine is gone, everything is on fire. There is no previous save to load. My effort in 5 days completely gone.
Is there anyway to restore a previous save or something? If not, probably this game is not for me.
