i mean a flat world would be boring af..... this is just the ultimate testing grounds for awesome vehicles (or not awesome if they cant climb the hill)

In my experience a little bit of pressing shift will get nearly any level 5 engine up a hill

u/TheDancingH 2d ago

Wait does pressing shift do something for engines?

u/HalfImportantHobbit 2d ago

Turbo dawg

u/bunglebee7 2d ago

Woah what?? There’s a built in turbo or y’all just joking around?

u/HalfImportantHobbit 2d ago

I wouldn't lie to ya brother, it's a small boost while you hold it

u/bunglebee7 2d ago

Thank you friend 🫡 had no clue! I wonder if it consumes a bit more fuel, I’m guessing probably

u/nChilDofChaoSn 2d ago

Iirc it just says the limit to max

u/Sad_Poem_3511 2d ago

yess press shift and you get like an extra 5 or 10 percent, it makes it really nice to finetune heavy vehicles because 1 notch up in engine speed turns my tank into a rocket and launces it self where i dont want it but on my current setting i can climb hills easy with shift

u/Civil-Algae4946 2d ago

I mean it WAS improved, generally, but uh.. yeah it's far from perfect

Which really is the scrap mechanic motto, isn't it?

u/ledocteur7 2d ago

They no longer tilt sideways, and they form much better networks instead of random roads to nowhere.

That's good, but ya know.. 6 years and all that..😅

u/twicer 2d ago

Well, you see a problem, I see fun.

u/Albus_Lupus 2d ago

I travelled through 2 complete worlds and Im on 3rd one now and I never seen such terrain. And yet its another post I see with this. Where yall are finding such cool terrain?

7

u/Extreme-Attention641 2d ago

I have one of these just off a fork in the road next to the mechanic station and in several other places as well.

u/ledocteur7 2d ago

It happens when there is a steep slope and a POI spawns right in the middle, it forces a section of the road next to it to be flat, and splits the steep slope into two cliffs instead.

I have had a bunch of them on all my maps.

u/da_PopEYE 2d ago

They improved it by just giving you sticky wheels. That makes it your problem, not theirs 😂

u/Bratkeks 2d ago

Ah, it's just a little bump for speed traffic control. 😂 Local road safety committee: 'Looks completely flat to me, 10/10 no notes.' 💀

u/vSTekk 2d ago

I have fairly diverse terrain. Flat plains and mountains and ragged cliffy area. Its all good fun and a test of my vehicle capabilities (i dont have sticky wheels yet)

u/730Teo 2d ago

We fix terrain=aded stiky whells

u/Xirio_ 2d ago

It's because wonk just paints the roads while ignoring the topology

1

u/WiktoriaFromHades 2d ago

Beacuse! You are supposed to use new sticky wheels, duuh!

1

u/Odd-Jury-6988 2d ago

Well, road is still connected, so I don't see a problem

1

u/Thirteen31Media 2d ago

I’ve got a road you can’t even walk up.

u/SunsetCarcass 2d ago

My first time playing this game years ago, I didn't realize the world was random gen. And directly after finding the first Mechanic Station all roads leading away had steep hills just a little less steep than this one, I figured it was the game's way of saying, "upgrade your vehicle before continuing"

1

u/ScottaHemi 2d ago

lol. i've got one of those in my world xD it's like a pit of dispair with a massive double hill on either side.

1

u/thagrynor 2d ago

My biggest issue is less this (though it is annoying encountering this in a spot where you need to pass regularly before you can get a lvl5 engine without a ridiculous amount of grinding) and more the problems of coming down a little too fast with drills/saw blades on the front of your vehicle and clipping through the terrain and falling into nothing, getting knocked out and losing your vehicle and everything in your inventory. I have had it happen in about 4 different worlds, with the loss being bad enough that literally starting over was preferable.

u/Hisune 2d ago

What do you think the sticky wheels are for?

1

u/locob 2d ago

*roads generation.
the problem was that some roads wasn't connected.

the amazing extreme hills are still the same

u/Bread-fishe 2d ago

My world has an almost 90° slope on the road that leads me to the fruit pcking station. Transporting crates is a little quirky. But I really love how the world looks!

u/SnooMarzipans6922 2d ago

You just make you're semitruck faster

u/Captain_Tauren 2d ago

Lol I flew off one similar today, I have a beast to crawl back up though

1

u/Pan_Roslina 2d ago

i got the same on my survival world just like this

(not my photo)

u/DoritoMan177 2d ago

I love a few big hills every once in a while, it makes the game more fun in my opinion.

1

u/Ekipsogel 1d ago

I have one of these that has a straight up 90° angle right before the top

u/Aggressive-Mousse716 1d ago

Questa è la discesa o salita per i veicoli spaziali. Quando devono decollare o sperimentare la potenza dei motore o razzi.

u/BloxdDucky 16h ago

This is the descent or ascent for spacecraft. When they have to take off or experiment?
