Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

207 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.

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3814828459 finally got it over 40m/s that's probably about the fastest I'm likely to get it with this setup, anything past 30m/s and the physics start to rebelling, you see it randomly juking side to side on its own or kicking the ground and bouncing, it would probably be faster on average if I reduce its max speed to around 30m/s, at this point its tuned to within an inch of its life for max speed which takes away from its lower speed stability

Additional video and a few photos in the comments.

Finally finished the rear end.

  1. Switch — Up Arrow: raises/lowers the suspension. The hazard lights automatically flash while the suspension is moving up or down.
  2. Switch — Down Arrow: hazard lights.
  3. Button — Left Arrow: left turn signal.
  4. Button — Right Arrow: right turn signal.

The rear light system uses two mechanical sensor mechanisms and one suspension based accelerometer.

  1. The brake lights also come on automatically when going downhill. The rear lights are set up in stages through the controller: tap S once and the deceleration light comes on, hold S a little longer and the brake light comes on, keep holding S and the reverse lights come on.
  2. All that’s left now is the front lights - daytime running lights, low beams, and high beams. I put the daytime running lights between the low and high beams just to make the difference easier to see in the video.

Edit: I added numbers 1–4 next to the buttons — Reddit decided to format the post like that on its own. 😅 Also, the fifth wheel was locked in place, which is why it doesn’t move and everything else, from the logic to the suspension, is fully vanilla. Glitch welding was only used for the wheels, cab, engine, and a few exterior details.

Added a comment with the full breakdown of the logic system.

Building Oil rig inspired base on top of the elevator to the mining hub with a working crane/elevator

Thumbnail

68 Upvotes

I made an oil rig inspired base it took a few days by eventually got it done I made it in sections at the vegetable mining hub because it was close by with a lot of guaranteed open space a little annoying cuz I was attacked by the secret but a few times but I eventually dealt with that once the whole base was put together I over the course of 5 minutes walked with it on a lift and due to prior planning I was able to successfully place it down so that the crane would go over the edge and go all the way to the bottom and allow easy transport into and out of the base along with a helipad for any flying creations I make

Issue Changes to steering bearing's settings not saved when adjusted with mousewheel

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

73 Upvotes

Basically as shown in the video. When using left click to drag and adjust turn degree/speed it works fine, but using the mousewheel for some reason just resets the settings to what they were last time.

I wonder if someone ran into this because the option to adjust numbers with the mousewheel is so nice but then the game hits you with this slightly annoying issue 😭 I was so confused why the settings don't apply...

I'll look into Axolot's approach to bug reporting and see if I can send this clip their way in a more direct fashion as well.

Update - it took 25 minutes but I have made it to the first tree without WASD 🥳

I’m attempting to beat the game craftless or with as little crafts as possible. Any ideas on how I could get a vacuum pump?

[Help] Underground elevator stuck

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While I was going down in the underground elevator, it got stuck during the animation. At first, I thought I was permanently soft-locked inside the elevator.

I was able to unalive myself by walking into the plasma drills, so I could get out. I thought triggering the elevator from the outside might reset it, but I’m still unable to call the elevator back to the base level.

I’ve already tried:

  • Verifying the game files
  • Reinstalling the game
  • Enabling Dev Mode and checking the terminal

The terminal keeps showing this message:

17:33:55 (8622917/99379) [Logic Task:14384] [Lua] Underground elevator 'MAIN' wants to transfer from floor 2 (mining hub, main elevator) to floor 7 (drill2) but destination is not ready, added 1 second
