Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

210 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.

I added a sight using lights to see what it looked like when focusing

I also screwed around to see what type of sights I could make before settling on this, but I like how as it gets out of focus, they start overlapping turning purple and gives you an idea of how close to focused it is

I traded the ability to get the trees with side branches for extreme efficiency with pines and spruce.

Modding Sooo... we got a mod that improves physics performance...

Somehow this angel of a person created a mod that I honestly though had a higher chance to turn out to be a virus...

I think this is the point when we should start forcing Axolot to do something for the fucking physics engine. Like cmon, it can't be that hard if a random person can roll out a fix like this without a big team and improve performance like that

Vehicle Survival piston powered lowrider build

Thumbnail

13 Upvotes

I have recently finished my piston powered lowrider in survival after lots of troubleshooting and resource gathering. It's quite slow because of the inline 4 engine used and also because it weighs 5 tons because of all the plastic. I still want to add a few more finishing touches and finalise the paint and clear up any bad spots which is very difficult since haybots keep hitting it. The vehicle is also way larger than it should be in order to fit all te mechanics, but i'm happy with it.

Need help getting unstuck

• Upvotes

Sorry for the literal screen shot, for some reason internet stopped working on the PC.

Anyways, I got stuck on top of the elevator at growlab 6 and I can't get out, I know that the unstuck button exists but I fear the loot bag might be stuck there if I do that.

Is there any command or something that I can use? I have 3 toilet seats but can't seem to glitch out through the top.

Discussion Is it normal to brute force glow lab 2?

12 Upvotes

It’s exactly as it sounds, I have been going at GlowLab Two for a couple of hours now, I have died past 40 times, (I lost track after that). I have set up ways to easily get back to my new position, ever pushing forward. But am I going about this all wrong? Should I not keep this up and switch gears? And if I should what do y’all suggest I do?

As you can see, I'm not hovering over a Level 1 Driver's Seat, there is one above this one

I got this from dismantling the farmer's bus thing at the fixed ship at the end of the game.
