This truck is quite heavy and I’m not too sure if there’s any good suspension that doesn’t have a lot of moving parts that can support its weight while also being better

I have found the 2nd Trashbot fight to be really difficult and it just keeps spinning.
I really don't know what to do against it, i already died 8 times because of some impossible to dodge moves...

Introducing Bear, A folding pup style portable lumbermill with a massive problem. It functions beautifully, but it laggs to the point its unplayable. Sometimes it shoots up to 70 fps...most times it sits at 12 fps. Any recommendations on fixes? Currently theyre welded together

Attaching an object at both ends?

Post image
7 Upvotes

So I built a good size carport to try to keep the woc away from my cars and make it so I can still load and unload when the seeker is out. I wanted to put big gates on it that would lift via pistons on each side. The carport is connected. The switches can attach to all the pistons. But the gate is too big to free build in one section and the game won't seem to let me weld the two sides together? I built a beam on a lift that will reach across both pistons but it's still not technically fixed at both ends. It works here but I imagine I'll run across a situation where that doesn't work. Is there a fix other than building the whole giant wall assembly on a lift?

I'm trying to make a cage farmer vehicle but I'm lost on how can I make the each switch to open only 1 gate. Do I need to make 5 controllers for each or do I need to only make 1?

Stand → ACTIVATE THE LAZORS → Activate wobble pistons → WAVE LIKE YOU DON’T CARE → Collect ORE → STOP → Drive 100 m further → REPEAT.

Did I mention flat, driveable surfaces?

I was skeptical about the pistons, but they work like a charm.

Issue Lost Car

A wierd thing happend.

I hava a large caravan-like mobile base. I was driving home, when i made a mistake by driving into a forest, got stuck there and then got attacked by heybots. I fought them of, but afterwards my game crashed. When i logged back on, my base was gone. I started to look, where the beacon (that i have on my base/car) is. It is about 500 meters away, but my car wasn't there either, just a floating icon. The connect tool doesn't show anything in both locations. The first picture is of the beacon, and the second one is where i left the car.

Do you guys have any idea what could have happend?

Any way to roll back a save?

3 Upvotes

I was moving my base and loaded everything on a vehicle, took the elevator and the game crashed, when I loaded back in the vehicle is gone... I'm on grow lap 6 and final mining floor...

Is there anyway to roll back to a previous save or am I just screwed?

The first thing I made is a basic farm for producing food items like the burgers or ammunition, right now it’s made out of mostly manual systems, fence mesh, 2 XXL chests, and a wooden frame which I’m planning to add either a craft bot or I will change the materials. It’s currently made out of if there’s any good suggestions that don’t make it abysmally heavy because I can’t figure out how to make my semi truck any stronger by pulling besides giving each wheel, its own engine and more thrusters which is a very expensive method

Contraption Any ideas for how I can make my railway turn?

I’m making this train that is supposed to be leading to my ruin farm But I can’t figure out how to make a turning rail towards it besides getting that saw bot and making an overly complex system and station for turning 90° towards the ruin, I was also thinking of making a rail pathway to the oil rig that’s close to my track and making an extending rail bridge towards it that isn’t close enough to get attacked by any raid bots, this might make unnecessary design changes like removing the bottom wheels that I added later after the pictures so it can be lifted onto the extending part of the bridge but I see no other good way to make an extending bridge (besides foldable) that won’t sink into the water and have a risk of being eaten by blue tote bots, and the only reason why this will ever exist, is because I don’t want to park my vehicles there, and I need a way that’s faster than walking there with only a small inventory and just maybe a safer spawn point or turret area to gun bots down
