There is a spot for subs, now of they add in audio tuning this game will be next level. I spent way to much time in my youth doing that, and yes I had a stereo that cost 2x the car it was in.

I can't figure out how to do half the stuff in this game but it owns, also the scissor jack is a hateful poo poo just like irl ones. Also is there a way of rotating parts on more than one axis?

Is there a map of where stuff is because after spending 9000 hours figuring out how to start and drive the van I drove around and got lost after 5 seconds.

JUST FUCKING TAKE OFF ALREADY, SHIT
Ugh, I was taking Old Blue down the road to where I left the Septic Sucker (from when I drove it down the road because as I was about to turn off the highway, a speeder rear-ends me and kills me, and the van was left at the side of the road) and it went off the road and I died. Now it's going to be a long rear end walk back to it. I wish that they plan on putting in a bike that you can ride and stash it on the vehicles because even with the run ability, it's still a slog of a trip.

You have to bind the key but yes, you can.

I'm not sure if you could run all the way to town and drive back without dying of exhaustion, though... We really need more places to sleep, what sort of Finn can't fall asleep in the back of a van?

I just did the rally thing. I need to change my final drive. I set it to the tallest one to Go Fast™ on the highway but I don't need to wrap the dial all the way around on the dirt roads. Seems like it is pretty doable. I got last place because I had a few spins and got a 2 minute penalty for false start. I didn't know how to start because it just said "get ready" on screen but never changed. Once I got the false start, it started counting down.

I can't tell if the tractor parking brake bugged out or it just modeled me burning it out. I have the septic truck bottomed out and wedged into a tree at the start of a ravine and I tried using the tractor and it might have worked if the tractor stayed still after getting out of it. Saved and reloaded and the parking brake seems to be working again but I don't know if I want to gamble for how long because of the time commitment to getting the tractor out to the crash site even though its right around the corner.

This is the strangest prequel to F1 2016.

1. No, you have to pick them up and put them down in a different way to spin it on the one axis.

2. You didn't even look one page back, did you? Someone posted a map they made with all the locations on it. Maybe you should look back less than a page.

Feb 6, 2014
After I figured out some basics I decided to demo this game for my cousin. Here is how that went:

I got in the van and drove to the shop. This was a harrowing experience as both the ingame me as well as irl me were drunk (it's halloween, what are you gonna do). When I arrived at the shop I bought everything I wanted, or I tried to. Just as I was done shopping the shopman decided he didn't want to be a shopman anymore, and leaves to stand in the adjacent bar. At this point I am somehow starving and my saussages are at home. I can't buy food cause the shop is closed now. So I go to the bar and drink until I eventually pass out (which is a neat trick) to get to the saussages and wake up in a sauna which it turns out is right there iin my house? Nice! Except not so nice because now I am at home and my van is at the store. Also I now remember I put the saussages in the van before I left. Said van is not here. It is somewhere very other. My bar for hunger is a deep read now. On the top right of my screen it says mortal tuesday. I heard something about a boat though. I look for a boat near the water and find it easy enough. Starting it is almost intutitive. The trip across the lake is so boring I almost crash into a lovely little island. I find the town, run to the shop, buy a single pack of saussages to eat instantly, pay the man, he gives me a bag. The bag does nothing. I cannot use the bag. A bug? I have glossed over the thread, save and reload seems to be the fix for bugs. How do I save? I can only quit without saving. I stumble around the area and find a shitter. Saver and quit. Good! Continue! Good! Go back to where I was. Everything has exploded into a mess of saussages and frozen pizzas. Not so good. Apparently the game remembered my purchases from the day before? Looking at my cash this theory seems plausible. I eat a saussage and am no longer at death's door. Everything has gone rather well so far, relatively speaking. Everything in the shop has also refreshed, so I buy more food and crucially, beer. The shopman tells me I can't afford it. I can't find a way to put anything back. So I save and reload. I buy what I need, get agin a shopping bag (crates of beer seperate), accidentally drop it and am aghast that it has again become completely inert. I save and reload knowing what will happen. At this point there are saussages EVERYWHERE. I spend a god long while throwing everything into the van. I jump in, get confused about where the main road is and roll the van over in a ditch shortly thereafter. I haven't even left the built up area. Saussages are again everwhere. I start loading everything into the toppled over van, soon realizing that this is probably foolish. The push command does nothing. The van is not going anywhere. I need the tractor. It has a forklift thing. I have seen it before, but I have never managed to get it to go. I race to the boat, because my tiredness bar is now bright red. I tear across the lake in the boat and go straight to bed. I wake up with my thirst meter in the red. I drink from the sink while pissing on the floor, then I run to find the tractor. I'm not sure exactly where it is, and my hunger is building up. I have food for weeks, but it's all scattered around the road in the town where the shop is. So find the tactor, get it to go somehow, drive to the shop (very slowly), narrowly avoiding disaster because at this time I am kinda sleepy and annoyed but I want my poo poo, so I find myself swerving off the road. I finally make it to the shop and my van is not there. My cousin points out I turned it over somewhere else. I search and find the van and try some hydraulicery to flip it. To no avail, not in so much as it does nothing as in the van shoots into the air like a loving bottle rocket spewing its last remaining contents all over the asphalt in what I can only describe as a physics event. Frustrated, I reverse and pretty much charge at the van as a jouster would. I don't know exactly what happened, because I was looking at the hydraulics lever by necessity but the van was upright, just it was stuck under the fork of the tractor, and the tractor was completely immobile and unresponsive. My cousin suggested I might try driving the van out from under the tractor, which I attempted. Not a lot happened for a good while, but I eventually wresteld the van loose. I apparently left the tractor in gear or something. Just as soon as it was seperated from the van it drove straight into the lake on its own self. At this point I considered my position. The boat was grounded and was not responding to pushing (I had gunned it on to the shore), the tractor conversely was in the lake. The van was upright but surrounded by so much meat detritus it would have taken me ages to load it all in, and if I flipped it again I would be completely hosed. I declared the run was over.

My cousin bought the game then and there and neither of us knows thing one about cars. We have made a pact that neither of us will look up any my summer car specific information on car assembly. As such I will be leaving the thread now. This has been my review of car game summer or whatever. I hope to attempt building the car soon.

How much fuel does satsuma use btw? I previously filled it up at the pump, and once I was back home, I had half a tank left. That seems excessive. I got the air/fuel gauge, and adjusted the stock carb to give me ~15 when warm, so it shouldn't be a rich mixture issue. (And I doubt that the tuner carb helps, if anything it should increase fuel usage as it gives more hp.)


Did you make sure that the fuel line is tightened on the gas tank end? I think it appears underneath the car at some point after you put the fuel lines in and causes fuel to leak out if it's not tight. I think it was leaking at roughly the rate you described for me, otherwise the car doesn't use gas very quickly.

My car is 95% finished.

However, I did a store trip after I died of hunger a few times and finally needed car fluids.

I accidentally bumped into the store glass window and now my tab there is so high I can't buy any sustenance. So I filled up my van and cans with fuel and left without paying.

Accidentally drove into the ditch with my van and died. No idea which ditch. Now I'm at home with no Van. Boy oh boy I get to go search for my van and try towing with the other big thing.

God help me.

I got Finnish Tedium Simulator a few days ago and have been having a blast with it. Finally got the engine all put together (and then realized I never bolted the pistons to the crankshaft and took it apart and put it back together again) and now it's in the car.

This is a good idea that will have no repercussions at all.

Jack up both ends of the car. Drive the forks under the car and lift it off the jacks.

It doesn't really take this long. I've restarted a couple times and it only takes an hour or two to build everything up. Not including the time it takes to go to the store for some of the materials you need.

As a pro-tip for everyone else: You can lean into the car to bolt anything up. You don't have to take everything apart. I blew my engine while doing a clutch dump to get off the highway and it threw 3 pistons. I reloaded but suffered from the bug where anything that blows of your car gets saved automatically and those pistons were unbolted when I got back to the car. I simply got the correct wrench and leaned into the car until I saw the bolts and tightened them all up. I did the same when adjusting the valves to get rid of the ticking. Adjusting the valves also got me a poo poo ton more power. Maybe it's cheating but it saves time. Especially considering that everything is so janky in the first place.

Do not stop for the police on the highway. A truck full of logs will obliterate your van when you step out to take the breathalyzer. All of your groceries will be strewn over the asphalt, a cop will be killed, and they will fine you more than you can pay and crash their police cruiser.

Finally got my car running and took it too the shop. Make sure you bring your tools with you incase you need to adjust anything. I would have overheat without it! Somehow I did lose a side panel on the trip though.

Mechanic had a half off sale so that was pretty nice, though I have no idea what a few things are. (final gear change?)

His car is a pos though. Like driving on an ice rank. Hopefully that gets tweaked a bit.

Drive that thing in "2" instead of "D", then it's actually controllable.

Final drive is the gear ratio of your differential. The standard (or vokia I guess) is 4.268 or whatever it says in handwriting on the page. Lower number is higher top speed. Higher number is faster acceleration.

Protip: Save fuel and make your truck easier to drive by routinely emptying the septic tank (wherever you please). Truck becomes nigh uncontrollable at speed with the rear axle lifted, and it chews through fuel at some rate.

I've also managed to dent the gently caress out of the roof of my datsun. No loving idea how, but hey. Guess I ought to save for the body repair.

I wanted to present the official song of this game:

It's a song about a kid driving a car, ending up in a ditch because of taking a turn too fast, losing the car, then borrowing the neighbors car and then accidentally getting head on'd by a truck and probably dying I dunno it kinda leaves it open but the last line is pretty much "When I crashed into the truck I guess I crashed for the last time"

Good song about finnish life imho.
