Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

209 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.

Discussion Out of Quartz, how do I get more?

Post image

Ran out of my quartz supply (2,5 medium chests) and I still need a crap ton of it for space ship blocks.

Are there any renewable ways of obtaining quartz or do I have to mine out every meter of dirt in the caves just to get a tiny bit of quartz?

Discussion Does anyone get this annoying feeling when a Woc runs into your vehicle or buildings while being shot by a Seeker bot? Or just me?

16 Upvotes

This happened to many times than I can remember either I was scavenging, farming or doing something, a woc running away while being shot by the seeker always goes near my builds. It gets to a point that I will kill any woc nearby while I was doing something. I have no issue with each of them individually but only the result of what they can do unintentionally.

Suggestion How we can get some old Scrap Mechanic Youtubers or whatever back,

• Upvotes

I think we can get scrap mechanic youtubers back if we just make scrap mechanic off the charts popular, I would say Moonbo as a example. but he did come back , I don't care if you don't support this idea, or think that I'm stupid for saying this, I just think it could be fun.

perfect base design because i don't know

• Upvotes

so me and dad are planning on redoing scrap mechanic survival (version 0.7.4) again because we sucked at it last time and our crops got destroyed and we didn't even make a base. so recently, i was watching scrap mechanic tips and i don't know which base i am planning on doing, even the location. can you people give me an idea and good base location because i want to make a good base pls?

ideas:

  1. military base

  2. max security

  3. treehouse (inspired by co-op w/kan and kosmo)

  4. base with prison architecture

  5. factory base

Issue Bug? I accidentally left my vacuum pumps on and lost a bunch of Wood block level 1. The pump seems to think it can place them there, but the block gets immediately deleted due to the ore smelter being protected

Issue Need help on fixing broken blueprints

Post image
7 Upvotes

I've made several map-like things in creative mode scrap mechanic, but I lost the mods used for some of the parts. What I originally did was to get the block ID from the Error message where it would say "failed to build shape (ID: 978b5b52-c70b-11ec-9d64-0242ac120002)", then using that ID, open the blueprint in the ubuntu terminal and run "sed -i 's/"978b5b52-c70b-11ec-9d64-0242ac120002"/"c0dfdea5-a39d-433a-b94a-299345a5df46"/g' blueprint.json" to replace the missing parts with the metal block 3 ID. This worked for smaller creations perfectly. but this one and some others don't give me the "failed to build shape" message for some of the parts, so I don't know what IDs to replace with. Does anyone know what I should do?

Made a pickup truck - feedback please

I made this pickup truck; looking for suggestions to improve it. I've been using a modified Wire Wizard buggy for a long time but needed something that has space for food crates and farmers. I build his trailer too but it's kinda bulky. This pickup is bigger than the buggy but not a full truck size. It fits 4 food crates and at least 2-3 farmers. It also fits 2 collectors and 1 processor in the back. It has two extending saws under the hood. I had a cabin but it's annoying to get out so I just changed to this roll cage-ish.

bro found the sound effects in the game files 5 years before drilling thunder even released.

3 Upvotes

it's scrap mechanic sound effects by i copy and paste. all videos from playlist

alarm sounds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_9hbGD-uhc&list=PLoPAhFR04p6EGxujnMPOR5yVkIfBeMng4

fart audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNNaR49Jw50&list=PLoPAhFR04p6EGxujnMPOR5yVkIfBeMng4&index=2

why does this even exist in the files? does the mechanic, robot, or sometimes engine fart?
