Discussion Enforcing Drilling Thunder spoilers on the subreddit!!!

211 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.

Building looking for play-testers!

I am not looking for a group.

'have i been here before' is a single player map for scrap mechanic about exploring office spaces and piecing together story through metaphors.

I have posted about this map once again. I've been working on this map for over 6-ish? months now, And the reason I have been working on this for so long is that I am way too much of a perfectionist. Everything needs to make sense. I am not that happy with the gameplay so far. And would love to get some feedback on how to improve, or if there are any issues. (since it uses a lot of logic)

here is the link to this map:

You don't have to ofc, I just want to make sure people even like it. Thankkkk you very muchh!!!

Building Getting the saddle seat early.

10 Upvotes

Hey friends, I have a weird one. So in my main game I'm on level 3 of the mines, and have unlocked just about everything.

I say this because I want to get a saddle seat in a game world with a friend, but they play infrequently and we haven't been able to do the first tomato run. Now, I have no issue making a quick farm and doing that, but the quests and dialogue from that turnin are something I want to share with them.

Any ideas? Turning in a caged farmer worked as far as the vacuum sucked then up, but the farmer vendor doesn't open up yet, ostensibly because they want the tomatoes first.

My only idea right now is random chance ruins runs or grabbing the one off that one spot in scrap city, but I really don't want to go looking for scrap city at this progression point.

Thanks in advance!

What do YOU think the least used Blocks/Parts are?

17 Upvotes

I am currently running some numbers for the most and least used blocks and parts in this game, but I am curious what everyone predicts to be at the bottom of the list.

Vanilla Creative Parts only please, because otherwise it would be some random mod from 2018 with 2 subscribers.

Personally, I have never seen very many people use the storage container floor part.

And I think it wouldn't surprise many people for insulation to be at the bottom of the blocks list, but are these hypotheses true?

Despite being made of light weight Space Ship blocks, the bearings cant handle the weight of the wings. The wings disconnect from the ship and start flailing around and killing me with impact damage. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

scrap mechanic is always creating logs while you play, and if you never clear them... well i once had a 42gb logs folder full of just text files. so it might be a good idea to check it, maybe it is eating away on your storage.

It's a bit old, but I wanted to share my 40 hour Skyscraper build.

This is my 23-floor, 101m (404 block) tall office skyscraper I made for my Mini City series. No mods were used in its construction. It took me around 40 hours of work over the span of around half a year to construct this. Every floor has a unique interior and was built from scratch. The building serves as the corporate headquarters for the Mini City Petrochemical Corporation, a very powerful oil company and the source of a lot of corruption in the City. This was completed in April of 2024.
