Drove for 30 meters and the steering, brakes and gears stopped working. I hope that's recorded. Got a link? That sounds hilarious.

Is there a beer bottle beneath the pedal?

I did as recommended and went to the store for the first day and bought all the beer, sausages, fluids, fan belt, and bug spray. I threw them in the back of the van and on the way back it hosed UP. I suddenly shot forward and started fishtailing very badly and couldn't figure it out. I ended up losing control and ending up in the ditch next to the road. I look over and see that some yellow van was going WAY fast and slammed into the back of my van causing me to lose control. Also, somehow, he knocked some of the beer crates out so I threw it in park and went to grab them. After picking up the first crate I turned around to my van and saw a car coming down the road quite fast. All I could do was look on in horror as it slammed into the back end of my parked van, popping the door open, throwing a few more crates onto the road, popping open both front doors and emptying all my beer bottles from the van. The next few minutes was spent haphazardly dodging cars on the road while throwing my beer back into the van. Luckily the loving rear end in a top hat in the yellow van was stuck in the ditch and unable to move. I grabbed my empty bottles and threw them at his van which nicely put in some big ol' dents. I just wish I could have actually punched his van or otherwise. Regardless, I got home put poo poo up, went to sleep, and then started putting the body parts on the car. At which point I took one look at "the engine" and quit in fear.

I halfway hope this adds support for TrackIR. Then again, the Surgeon Simulator aspect of unwieldy controls and mouselook is part of why this is great.

How do you pick up a wrench? I keep picking up the case and hitting 'f' while looking at it or holding it doesn't do anything either way.

The wonky physics are definitely in the plus column even if they gently caress you. Just trying to put the doors on and the seats in often resulted in one touching the other and James Bond ejector seat'ing out of the car.

I've been following a YouTube series step-by-step on building the engine and suspension. He only builds one half of the suspension so I had to work off of recent memory on mirroring the other side. Thing is, everything is in place and bolted in (I hope) but no matter what I do I can't get the second loving half rod in. I've tried gripping it on both ends and in the center. I've tried placing it both ways you can (flipping it). I've tried placing it both ways while gripping either end and the center from both the outside and inside where the engine would sit. I cannot get that loving checkmark to show up desite placing the part visually where it looks like it goes and seeing if it goes off detecting where your little dot cursor is. I've even tried desperately grabbing the part and doing tight little circles with the mouse while doing larger circles around the screen in hopes of getting a brief glimpse of a checkmark to flash in the center. WHAT THE gently caress AM I DOING WRONG!?!? Also his engine and suspension videos have no overdub and just abruptly end. There is no interior video. So here's hoping all these parts left lying around are for the dash and I can figure out building that thing on my own...

I can't wait for some time to pass and Steam guides to be written for people like me who literally know nothing but the basics of cars. Last night when putting the suspension together I learned that apparently alignment is adjusted but two little screws where the suspension connects to the wheel. I was able to build most of the suspension and engine following a couple YouTube videos but when I start the thing up and need to diagnose any problems (like fire) I'd like a guide to utilize.

I'm not certain if I've tightened every screw, bolt, and nut that needs to be but I do know that the only parts I have left are four hubcaps and an air filter. I know where the hubcaps go, even as a car-idiot. I do not know where to put this air filter... Also, the car does not yet start but instead makes a high pitched squeaky sound. I have yet to put fluids and gasoline into it so obviously that's the first step. The second step is to throw away the left body panels. Opening the door knocks off the front left panel and closing the door knocks the door itself off. God damnit if I'm not going to be SUPER excited the second this fucker actually turns over and starts.

e: f;b Click the very bottom of the jack, the "platform" if you will. No stand, just build it on the bench and then move it to the hoist. I get the feeling it lets you build it bigger and heavier than you could actually move. I haven't actually tried but I wonder if it'd let you pick up the fully built engine.

Either the patch didn't hit me or it's one of those start-a-new-game patches. I had no ability to sprint (maybe it's unbound by default) and the liquids were next to IMPOSSIBLE to pour. I held the motor oil upside down over the engine and despite the guage showing up and staying on screen it never started filling. The fuel can, on the other hand, couldn't make the meter appear at all for more than a split second no matter how slowly I moved it around. I'd stop the second the meter would appeal and then it'd vanish without filling AT ALL! And, yes, I had removed all the caps before attempting to fill them. Radiator and brake fluid worked just fine. What are the other two things to fill up next to the brake fluid?

Cojawfee posted:You need to tune the carburetor. I do not know how to do this. Google seems to only provide VERY early alpha gameplay with no explanation. I turned a screw and it runs but maybe it's not properly tuned? And also I cannot move. The engine revs but the car doesn't move. I'm assuming I failed to link up the gearing or half rods so we'll see if that's it. e: Scratch that, it does not run. Dark_Swordmaster fucked around with this message at 22:35 on Oct 29, 2016 |

It's a functioning vehicle for you to use when your car doesn't work and has hauling beer cases in its design. But with the dominance of how great the sewage truck is you don't really need it.

So I can't figure out why my car won't drive. The best I got is that I tightened the half rod bolts that go to the engine BEFORE setting the engine. Now, since then I've untightened and retightened them MULTIPLE TIMES but no matter what it still doesn't drive at all. There's also the possibility I didn't hook up the gear shift quite right but I'm not certain where to check that part of it. Maddening and yet this is part of the entertainment.

OP PLEASE So I restarted the game completely. Multiple times before getting frustrated and playing without permadeath. I built everything back up, got the engine in, and this time noticed the aforementioned clutch screws. So I screwed everything in and now it runs and moves. However, I now have the problem MANY people in here have where the brakes don't work. Except I thought I screwed every small nut on every line I could find in, so I'm not certain where to fix this. I double-checked last night but it was 5AM (I started playing at midnight without loving realizing how much time went by) so I may have been too tired to do it right. gently caress the physics. I'm all in favor of physics fuckery but trying to push the car into the garage to put it over the bay bashed the poo poo out of the car, jerked the car randomly and put a set of tires into the bay, and cost me roughly thirty minutes of trying to push and tow it out of the bay without any luck and causing even more damage to the chassis. It's so beat up that all the components are either halfway or completely through the frame.

Tinking noise, fluid spraying up, and a piston shot out. Timing issue?

Cojawfee posted:The ticking noise is because the valves are at the wrong height. Get the screwdriver and scroll down on each screw about 20 times and then up 7 times. Then the valves should be at the correct height. Fluid spraying up is usually from the exhaust not being installed. If a piston shot out, you might have over revved it or something wasn't bolted up right. I did scroll them down but I'll redo it. I think I went 14 instead of 7 so that's it. It is fluid because A) The exhaust IS installed properly and B) It's not the gray smoke sprite, it's some lighter gray/white splash lookin' sprite. Maybe actual Sprite like a product placement thing. Possibly, I'm keyboard driving so it's all or nothing. Any suggestions aside from 'use your controller?'
