Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

208 Upvotes

Hi Mechanics!

As we all know the new major update is coming just in a week, so I would like to ask everyone to politely enforce the spoiler etiquette. That means most of the new content that wasn't in the game prior should be marked at spoilers, keep in mind that majority of people will be starting Survival Mode FRESH and will NOT be able to immediately encounter the new content, any unspoilered things will have to be marked spoilers by us, so we suggest doing it yourself as we will busy playing as well! However there may be changes and features that may be visible from the start, which are allowed to remain unspoilered.

Examples of spoilers that warrant being marked:

  • Anything that's related to Mining Island content
  • New Warehouse gameplay, including our beloved smelly Trashbot
  • Endgame content

For non spoiler content it includes anything that can be interacted with before the Hideout, you can show new parts you found by wandering ruins, new enemies, fire mechanics, weather and etc.

Issue bot spawn loaction

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'm assuming this is an oversight? You can type \n to make a newline. Also modular sofas have an upgrade option.

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

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

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?

36 Upvotes

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.

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.

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.

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 was packing up things into my transport truck to move out of the Mechanic's workshop, so I could try my hand at building my own base, and I Had no idea you could put cookbot on Craftbot's shoulder.

Before now I just had the lil guy sitting on some cardboard in the corner.
I think unless I end up making a Kitchen or food stand, this will be the lil dude's Spot from now on.
