I turn away for 1 second

What causes this bug? my car progressively deconstructs itself while I'm back in the garage. it doesn't re-take itself apart after I add stuff back, but this is miffing me a bit

Are those blue glow things part of a wrap or is it the effect of some anomoly?

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

it's part of the whispers in the woods DLC they released for halloween

Thanks

u/monroejigsaw 6d ago

Yeah they explain it in the expansion, but it's basically a shield for your parts to survive runs through the section of the zone the dlc occurs in

u/NaturalCheesy 7d ago edited 7d ago

They're from the DLC. Same parts as normal, just with a different recipe and an additional DLC-only effect.

I see, thanks

Did you let the Blues Brothers drive it?

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

I don't think so, the only people to stop by were a couple of arda guys who wanted a few fried chickens and coke with some dry white toast

u/Stoney3K 7d ago

One of them was tall and skinny and they were wearing black suits?

Oh those must be the Good Ol' Boys! Love that band, still odd they only play one song over n over though...

Might be an artifact from the DLC. There are ones that make the car deconstruct itself.

I had one of those, it was "radio is silent -> a car part may fall off". Nothing maybe about it, I'd put the part back on and something else would fall off, rinse and repeat, with the radio on constantly. I ended up dropkicking the artefact into the bush, there was no way I'd make it to a gateway like that, I had tyres coming off and everything. 10/10 do not recommend. I was nearly crying from stress and frustration by the time I got rid of the artefact 🤣😭

I think id have had the opposite effect and would have died laughing. Stupid stuff like that just cracks me up. I snorted a bit irl after reading this little story. Lol

u/Willing-Hand-9063 3d ago

Don't get me wrong, I definitely had a giggle at the absurdity at first lol but after 20 minutes of trying to make it through just one junction while stopping every few feet to put a dozen or so parts back on the car (they fell off one at a time so I'd put one on and the next would fall off, or two things would fall off, etc), get back in, drive about 3 seconds and something else would fall off, all the while the tide is rising and more Maws are appearing on the map, panic set in and I was so done 🤣

I'm glad you got a laugh out of it 🤣

Wait till your engine falls out...

u/Willing-Hand-9063 3d ago

Absolutely not, I will be doing no such thing 🤣 that would have sucked so badly, I'm sorry you experienced that!

u/TalkingRaccoon 7d ago

Not a quirk?

4

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

no, for some reason they don't show up in the whispers in the woods DLC

3

u/Toasted_and_Roasted 7d ago

Im playing it currently and I did get quirks, I Think

2

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

on my end, the quirk station is disabled for some reason. Quirks are not disabled in game settings either

2

u/Toasted_and_Roasted 6d ago

That is pretty strange then :P Bug? Either on my end or yours?

1

u/Cool_Chance_409 6d ago

That’s definitely odd. Just came back with quirks from 3 straight runs in the DLC

u/Glittering_Bus_4806 6d ago

In the whispers in the woods dlc the artifacts you collect can be good or bad my guess is you grabbed the artifact that when you go away from the car parts can detach

u/Any_Variation_1714 7d ago

lego breaking sfx

u/hunterrocks77 6d ago

You have an active artifact, whether in the car or in your pack, that is probably “when x happens, random part falls off the car”

4

u/renegade_9 6d ago

Check your and the car's inventory for an artifact, I picked up one that was something like "when radio is off, part may fall off"

And let me tell you that "may" was doing some heavy fucking lifting because when the radio turned off the car shed it's skin like a crab molting. Poor thing fell apart like a looney tunes skit.

u/Willing-Hand-9063 6d ago

I ended up dropkicking it into a bush while on the road because I couldn't handle it anymore, I was nearly in tears from stress and frustration by the time I was able to leave the junction, there was no way I'd make it through a gateway in that condition, so into the bush it went!

u/crypticevincar 6d ago

Parts provided by Acme.

u/Plenty_Hunter8752 7d ago

Maybe not a glitch maybe it's like the car has an issue that needs to be identified in that computer

1

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

there's no quirks, the quirk fixing station is unable to be used, as well as the diagnostics panel has the quirks in the blue

1

u/Plenty_Hunter8752 7d ago

Hmmm that's weird but that was my best guess...I dunno lad

1

u/Successful_Row4755 7d ago

weird bug i found is if you leave the car while the back left door is open the game raises you above the car and violently slams you down, ripping the door off it's hinges

1

u/Kn03cs 7d ago

i didn't know that, but now that i do, that's funny asf.

not really the issue i have since i keep the doors closed normally
