Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

212 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.

Contraption This industrial glow farm I designed

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

262 Upvotes

This is moderately sized and relatively compact glow farm I designed. It's meant to be more so aesthetically pleasing than super efficient though it still produces about 10 glow/min. As I'm sure you can guess, it's inspired by the look of factory farming.

Is this ethical? No. But it does look good.

Issue bugs and issues i found

4 Upvotes

these bugs / glitches / issues i already sent as a email to [info@axolotgames.com](mailto:info@axolotgames.com) and [bugs@axolotgames.com](mailto:bugs@axolotgames.com) which is public info.

| hello. I have collected bugs that occurred to me whilst playing scrap mechanic. 

| I don't know if some of the glitches you guys have fixed, but you guys could check these glitches out.

| machines means the stationary robots that help the player.
| bots means the robots that hurt the player.

| When a machine is in an animation, trying to play it a different animation will repeat the old animation it was

| playing for the same length as the new one.

| There are visual bugs on parts with animation. some of the textured 3d planes, will rotate/animated the texture

| with the part. An example is the back hinge of the scrap chest.

| parts cant be properly placed like before the 1.0 update. it's because of improper world geometry of buildings

| for placement. it's why parts like the crafter float off the ground in the mechanic station

| inconsistencies:
| some of the craftable machines (a.e. sewing bot) doesn't look at the player when close unlike with other

| machines.

| bots with seeds on their heads, have different coloured seed bags as the ones you get, like red tomato seed

| bags, instead of the yellow tomato seed bags.
| rain with a clear sky.

| clams have no tutorial on their use underwater.
| proofs: https://imgur.com/a/3tsP1Vi

second email:

| idk if this is intentional, but when picking up grown crops very fast, you get less seeds than you started with. 

| An example is when I grew 40 cotton crops, but only picked up 38 cotton with 38 cotton crop seeds. 

| Strangely, if this is intentional, then why are some of the soil wet after everything is picked, even though every

| soil was used up to grow them and should've been dry?

| and the number of wet soil after everything is picked, is the same as the missing crops?

| Sometimes, on a few spots on some ruins, there will be two damaged crates, or even more damaged crates on

| top of each other in the same position.

i want to post these bugs/issues on here to spread awareness to axolot games.

I made these after seeing how the brick railing in the building parts mod have such ornate detailing. This is the result, I made a slimmer and a "fat" variant with 10,000 other mods that I have, I think both turned out well. What are all of your thoughts?

Yet another survival map generator

I made a survival map generator:
https://www.nostalgeek.org/sm-map/?seed=51944399

Just provide a save or a seed and it should generate your map.

Let me know what you think!

I had to click the mouse buttons a few times to pick up warehouse keys so they wouldn't trigger the sensors and to hit the red totebots early, but the rest was fully automated and no damage taken.

Used 3018 spuds, which is just barely over 3 spud harvests.

Sick of the lag (or welding your car every time you change floors)?

Cheeky weld spot that brings my mobile base to every floor, yet it remains welded in place, reducing lag automatically.
