You'll have about as much luck doing that in game as trying it in real life though.

Cup Runneth Over posted:You can adjust the alignment with a nut on each side of the steering rod iirc Yeah, they'll show up as "align" if you mouse over them in non-tool mode. I've never actually tried to do it since I had to have my brakes done back when they were bugged and so I just had him fix the alignment at the same time. I'm pretty sure I accidentally turned those bolts and royally hosed up the alignment in the first place. StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Nov 4, 2016 |

At least I did.

you could square the back wheels up to the front by laying the sub and subless panels end to end in front of the rear wheel and hope both of them are long enough to give you a reference on the front I have literally done this with a long peice of board after doing front suspension work... it worked well enough to not wreck my tires on the way to an alignment shop

Every time I "fixed" my alignment it got worse. Even once I found the steering wheel angle to hold it it was still all sorts of hosed with how it would slingshot me off the road bed if I so much as stepped out of center. Had to drive to the repair shop at 40kph. Shop aligned it and now I fly around the back roads as fast as I can handle till my butthole clenches and makes me regret slacking off on the kegels. Makes sense because its basically how you steer and get power to the road, so if it's not perfectly dead on your car is going to be the worst.

first day power start: turn on the sauna and walk to the shed back the flatbed into the woodpile, fill it up tractor the flatbed up to the house and start building the block until the phone rings answer the call for wood, refill the flatbed and bring it back to the house just as you run out of daylight continue building the block until the alternator snaps in piss, sauna, eat, sleep, save ~ still working on optimal day 2. I can't remember what job you get next, it could be a pub pickup or poo poo pump. either way your next trip out should include a trip to the shop

Once you get that first call for wood (maybe even before) you can do that infinitely regardless of calls.

I feel like I burn through fuel way too quick. I can't even reach the highway from the house on a half tank. Could I have a leak? Is there a fuel cap?

I'd expect carb tuning or forgetting about the choke on to have an effect but half a tank to the highway is almost assuredly a leak. The last benchmark I have is that I think taking the long route through the backroads back from filling up at town took a little under 1/4 tank.

It was indeed the nut between the fuel line and fuel tank. Thanks, saved me a lot of time searching about.

Hamshot posted:Once you get that first call for wood (maybe even before) you can do that infinitely regardless of calls. Not always true. Once I tried to take a load of wood to the guy the day after I just did one and the payment guy just wasn't there. I don't know if it was too soon or if he takes certain days off or what. But needs do seem to stay between session and/or he'll need firewood before he actually bothers to call you, so he'll usually take wood.

Hmm body and driver seat failed inspection. I missed the rear bolts on the seats, tightened them up. I wonder if the passenger seat counts as the body infraction or if there is something else I missed.

First game, I crashed the van on the way to the shop and died. This time, I got the suspension all put together (half-shafts are optional/extra, right?) and made it to the shop before starving, bought a bunch of poo poo, and then got rear-ended hard enough on my way back home to kill me. Game owns.

Got my car all together and pimped out. Tought I had run out of things to do. Went a to see how fast I could get it up to on the highway. Got to 160+, blew through a police checkpoint didnt make the turn, hit a tree and died. Got the sewer truck and towed it to the convenience store. Car flips while being towed, but I didnt stop just kept going. By the time I got to the store the car was upright, so I started it up. Car runs, has no exhaust but I had ordered the new exhaust which was at the store when I got there, missing a door as well. Saved the game and went to IRL job. GOTY 11/10 -IGN

I'm reading this thread as I sit outside waiting for the store to open. I swapped the van for the American car, I just dropped that drunk dude off again and figured I'd stop by and pick up some more brake fluid because I have no brakes in my car despite going over the system twice now. Can I drive my brakeless beater to the shop to have him go over my brakes or is that something I have to do myself? gently caress this game is super good fun for me.

Did you bleed the brake lines? Unscrew the nuts at each tire well a tick or two, hop in the car and pump the brakes a couple times, then go back and tighten the nuts. Got my car passed inspection, but on the way home the fan belt exploded for some reason. No idea why.

Trip report: Towed the Satsuma back home with sewage truck (that trucks rules). Got the van and went back to the main highway and retrieved 2 fenders, drivers door, hood, both bumpers and the stock muffler. Left the windshield as it was smashed (is it even necessary aside from inspection?) Does hitting trees hurt anything in the engine because it seems to work fine? This game makes the mundane enjoyable 12/10!

He's supposed to call you when it's ready but sometimes it bugs out and he doesn't call. If you go in the shop and his little "buy stuff" page is back on the desk, then I believe your car is ready and you can just drive off with it.

I'm probably alone in this, but has anyone else poked at the files with an hex-editor? The two videos shown on the TV are in sharedassets1.assets in ogg/ogv format. That file also has the textures in it. [edit] I originally wanted the music, but I'm finding other stuff by dumb luck. Never done this type of poo poo before

My favourite radio feature is Marko Kahjo, a parody of real life tv and radio humor columnist Markus Kajo. I like Kajo's stupid pseudo-philosophic ramblings and Kahjo captures all of that in a perfect manner, so well that it's more than just a parody, it's a genuine salutation to Mr. Kajo's programmes.

drat, three in game weeks and I got my car built, but for the last few days in there I've been trying to get it to run. It'll start up, and run for like a second then cut out, and the oil light comes on. Checking the levels in the oil tank I think there might be a leak, but it never loses very much so it must be a slow one. I've been going over everything looking for loose nuts and bolts but I cant find anything. Any thoughts?

Try pulling out the clutch when you let go of the ignition, and holding down the gas after it starts/when you switch gears.

That might have been it, was I just stalling then? The other vehicles seem to take care of the clutch themselves. My oil light is still on though, there's a mechanic I can take it to right? Edit: Hmm, I can get it going but it won't go very fast and doesn't sound very healthy. Maybe I messed up something in the gearbox, everything runs great until I put it in gear.

Probably your carburetor, turn the screw at the bottom of it down if it is smoking black, up if it is overheating after warming up and driving.

if you built it according to the guide and everything is tight it should at least idle. you can loosen the rocker screws 30 ish times then tighten therm each 7 to get a stable tuning. same goes for the stock carb but if you ever bounced the Rev limiter cold you probably "damaged" the block. if you can get it to the shop you can have an inspection. it will tell you what's wrong, or to the mechanic where an engine repair should totally set you to thrash, given that you adjusted the screws per above. also worth mentioning that engine temp matters. cold start with the choke all the way out until the temp needle is in the middle of the Guage. this will take a while like the sauna, if not a few min of 2k rpm forced idle. push that choke in and see what kind of top speed you can get on the highway. 160 is normal for warm stock. let me ask for sanity sake, if your poo poo runs without throwing the fan belt - did you rock the alternator back a few clicks or did you swing it out to the extreme? I usually take it back 2-3 clicks and have never had belt problems like that HATECUBE fucked around with this message at 02:53 on Nov 6, 2016 |

Well, the only thing I've used the screwdriver for is the alternator, and I just pulled it out as far as it'd go. Guess I got some tunin' to do. I didn't use any guides, my dad and my brother are mechanics so for family honour I was determined to figure it out myself. Edit: Maybe now that I know how stuff works I'll just start over in permadeath, working backwards is frustrating! Well, guess I didn't fit the boot lid properly... Normally I enjoy a good physics bug but I'm not so hot on this one. Fuuuuuck and I forgot to save too, gotta start completely over. Davoren fucked around with this message at 05:36 on Nov 6, 2016 |
