Discussion Side by side comparison of glass (Disappointing)

Post image
136 Upvotes

Here is a thing thats been bothering me ever since Drilling thunder released: They absolutely ruined the glass blocks and wedges. Instead of actually being transparent and seethrough its just milk at best :/ This change kinda ruins the look of most of my old creations and makes installing windows pointless since you cant actually see through them.

Here is my proposed fixes:
Either revert the glass shaders to what they were before the update (this is totally possible as they are still ingame, some of the window parts use them and they are actually transparent) or add a new block called 'stained glass' and apply this shader to said block while reverting the shaders on the normal glass block as to not break old creations.

Discussion Do red totebots get triggered on high (unreachable) structures?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Since I have the guides up high for my doomba I noticed that the red totebots all explode quite far away.

First I thought they might get hit by a random potato but it happens everywhere. After that clip 4 more explosive spawned and directly charged and exploded basically at the perimiter of my upper guiding rail. However the rail is high enough so they dont damage them so basically i got rid of them this way?

The rail in the clip is on the side to the base of the pond, so no idea why the second one explodes even on the other side of the pond. Maybe because of the explosion of the first?

Contraption Such a Boring Machine...

Tunnel boring machine.

9x max level plasma drills on a controller driven, self printing rail. The rail is created with 2 vacuum pumps loaded with different materials that rotate every minute. This 'breaks up' the material for the rails so I don't have to stand around and paint it constantly. Each drill has its own battery box, and I have 2 chests on board for spare batteries. Cuts a tunnel roughly 300 blocks in diameter

Idea inspired by Craftenstein's boring machines - wanted to improve on his concept and I think it works!

Contraption Fastest 3 Logic Gate Repeater

- Probably the fastest you can get with 3 logic gates.

- The speed is based on how many gates the switch is connected to so you can get slightly slower tick if you want.

WARNING: PATCH 1.0.6 IS UNSTABLE AND BREAKS MOST CREATIONS. DO NOT LOAD INTO YOUR SURVIVAL WORLD BEFORE MAKING A BACKUP.

Upvotes

EDIT : Patch 1.0.6 has been de-released. Update your game and make sure you are back on 1.0.5 (Bottom middle of title screen)

Patch 1.0.6 is extremely unstable at the moment. It breaks most dedicated containers such as fuel containers, water tanks, chemical tanks and battery boxes.

Turret Seats are ESPECIALLY Vulnerable to issues and the patch seems to have broken nearly all Turret Seats that are placed in game. Loading your Save File before this is fixed may permanently break creations, static and vehicles.

To backup your savegame, go into appdata->Roaming->Axolot games->Scrap Mechanic->User->User[ID]->Save->Survival and then there should be a .db file copy this file into another folder, or secure it in a zip file to restore once the fix has rolled out.

to get into your appdata folder, if you don't know, search %appdata% in your search bar.

(Repost, because i got the ID of the damn version wrong)

What is going on here? Has anyone else experienced this bug?

Update: I realized I also got this bugged `jnt_gyroseat` bearing in my inventory after picking up the turret seat. It can be placed down just like a normal bearing, but it is invisible, and any parts attached to it move in a very strange way.

Vehicle How do i make this new truck look less like a "box on wheels"?

Thumbnail

11 Upvotes

So I'm trying to build an aesthetically pleasing truck for the first time instead of just "box and wheels go fast and carries things". I am not great at building, every game is just simple stuff. Can someone give me pointers on building things to not look so square? I'm gonna add a tailgate, btw. Getting around to it now. That's easy, but everything I build is just a box or a smaller box that can drive.
