So, as expected, I'm having to come to grips with the fact that I do not know how to build a car from scratch. Guess I'll have to watch some youtubes. Also, I rolled the van over on its side and basically entombed myself because I couldn't get the door facing upward to stay open for long enough to be able to jump out. Good thing I brought the beer case.

One thing I've noticed is when you have things in the spot where they are meant to attach, at least on the car, the dot turns into a checkmark! I really wish there was a button to highlight all bolts (not just when you mouse over them), because I'm making some progress but I also feel like I might be leaving stuff unscrewed in which is probably bad. MY SUMMER CAR ATTEMPT ONE:  Some progress after day 1! I basically got the suspension on the drat thing. The engine will be a whole other matter.  But I need to find food. I ate my only sausages. I read that I can take the boat for a shortcut. I guess I'll head toward that radio tower thing? Turns out there was nothing by the radio tower thing. I hooked a left and followed the shoreline.  A dock! This must be it, I'm saved!  I think that means store!  Delicious bag of groceries.  Now if I can just get home before I starve to death. God help me indeed.  I've grounded the boat. It won't move.  After awhile I managed to ram the boat off the shore by leaping at it, but now I can't get in it. Every attempt just results in me clipping through it.  I've completely screwed this. I'll just have a picnic on the shore, I guess.  gently caress you, horrible boat. MY SUMMER CAR DAY ONE RESULT: UTTER FAILURE I'm having fun, though.

I didn't realize how big the land mass is in this game until I decided to take the van instead of the boat to the store. That ate up a whole day. At least I have enough sausages and beer to last me probably a few in game weeks. It's definitely a smart move to do that first before you spend any serious time putting the car together. I probably should also figure out how the whole woodchopping thing works before I run out of money.

If you look at the map on the wall above the telephone, it'll have a dart in the map where your last call came from. Except for the rear end in a top hat who calls you in the middle of the night to get picked up from the pub, because they expect to you know where that is already. I suspect it's always going to be the same guy for wood, if so, take the road out from your place. When you get to the first T junction, hook a left. It'll be the second house you get to, NOT the first one that has a guy sitting drunk on a tree stump. There will be that idiot I snapped a picture of standing out front and waving his arm like "back it in here." Get out of your tractor, open the tailgate, get back in, put the parking brake on, engage your rear hydraulics and hit the gas pedal. If you're in the right place and you did everything right, you should see the firewood dump into a big mound.

OKAY, engine's all built, let's just get that sucker up on the hoist and drop her in and....wait, what's that on the ground over there ...gently caress. SEVERAL HOURS LATER  After disassembling and reassembling half the engine, it's finally in there. Probably with a bunch of bolts not tightened. I have to stop for now, but next time I play, I can boat to the store, get the necessary fluids, and see if it runs! PROTIP: you can unplug the phone if you're sick of people calling you at all hours of the day and night to deliver wood and pump their septic tanks. I have money, I have sausages, I have beer, I'm good on running errands for now, thanks. Also, holy poo poo are some things super-magic-pixelly and fiddly to get attached. It took forever to get the engine into position with the hoist, and I swear the loving radiator hoses took me longer than any other single part. Shab posted:On the passenger side (US-centric) there's a gas cap you need to screw off with the mousewheel. Unscrew, take the cap off the diesel can, and put it near the cap you just took off. A green bar should appear indicating how much fuel is in the tractor. It can be tricky when they want you to mouse-wheel screw and unscrew things without a wrench equipped. There's a couple of engine parts that do it that and it messed me right up. And I bet there's some linkages I missed because of that. I guess I'll know for sure when the engine starts blowing fluids everywhere when I try to start it.

It ran! I mean, it ran like poo poo, but it ran. For a pretty decent distance, almost halfway down the dirt road from my house. Then this happened. Something also flew out of the engine block and way far away. I think I missed a couple screws somewhere. The brakes also didn't seem to work. Which makes sense considering the whole front left axle apparently wasn't attached anyway. There also was an "incident" with the van.  Oh and I grounded the boat again. It was a hard day. I'm deciding whether to try and fix all this or just start over with my greater knowledge and see if I can screw things up less.

Cojawfee posted:The brake pedal works before the engine turns on. Once I turn the engine on, it stops working until I turn the engine off, exit driving mode and then reenter driving mode. Then once I turn the car on again, the brakes stop working. I don't know, maybe I'll have to just start a new game. Did you ever figure out what was going on with your brakes? My car had the same problem, before I ran into the more pressing issue of half my chassis falling off. I'd like fix that while I have it up to fix the chassis, if I can. Brakes seem like an occasionally-useful thing to have. I do have all the fluids in. (As an aside, he REALLY needs to make it less fiddly to fill the fluid reservoirs.) Also, question for everyone, am I supposed to be able to tighten the air filter on there or does it just snap on? I tried every spanner and also just mousewheeling but either it doesn't need to be screwed on or I'm missing the magic pixel where I need to point.

You don't even have to save and exit. Just unscrew and screw in the bolts somewhere near the engine and it'll snap to. I did it on the fly a couple times when I screwed up my hoist placement while trying to drop it in.

Pham Nuwen posted:Please share, it doesn't seem to get hot. Do you have to wait a really long time? Which way do you turn the thermostat to make it hot? Crank both wheels (thermostat and timer) all the way up, opposite from where they start. Keep the door closed. I'm not 100% sure if you can just turn it on and go do something else or if you need to be in the vicinity since I just sat in it and drank beer. It does take a really long time, especially for it to get going initially -- once it starts to heat up a bit it goes somewhat faster. Take the bucket and fill it up in the sink. Once you are over 100 degrees or so, pick up the dipper and hit "f" to go into use mode with it. Left click on the bucket to get water, right click on the stove to make steam. If your cleanliness is in the red, it make take awhile to get clean. It took me like three buckets of water and I think it was 1 1/2 or so before I even got out of the red. It's a bit of a production, I may just stay dirty and fly-ridden unless I feel the need to in-game relax.

Air filter just goes right on top of the engine, it kinda snaps on, you don't even have to screw it in place (I think). PROTIPS I learned today as I rebuilt my car for the third time:
I just got it totally rebuilt again, and started it up and did a little lap around the barn area, and it actually seems to be running pretty well! Aside from having no brakes again. Tomorrow I'll see if I can actually make it all the way to the mechanic without the drat thing exploding.

I'm still waiting on a new windscreen on my Satsuma and I'm worried I won't like driving it as much as the septic truck. The only problems with the truck is that it eats a lot of gas and is real expensive to fill up. And it has a weird tendency to slide if you park it on any non-road with the slightest incline. I've gone back to using the van when I'm shopping or whatever. Like you I'm waiting on my car to get out of the shop. I also have homeboy's muscle car but that thing really likes to spin out.

Oh geez. If you've been waiting a long time for your car to get out of the shop and haven't gotten a call, just go check to see if it's ready. I've been waiting like a week and a half for my car and finally just drove over there and it was done, but I never got a call. I believe if the list of stuff you can buy is back on the counter than your car is finished. My car definitely has what I took it to the shop for (working brakes, and tire alignment). This may be a function of the last patch that changed repair times -- I sent it in for repair before the patch.  Need to have a little body work fixed still, and I think the tuning is still a little off somewhere, but it actually runs and doesn't overheat and it has brakes! And I installed my ghetto spoiler and back window grill and subwoofers to make it a true dirtbag-mobile. StarkRavingMad fucked around with this message at 08:40 on Oct 29, 2016 |

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! The other two things are clutch and steering, I think. They all just take the same fluid. You'll need one bottle for each of them. Filling liquids is still real fiddly, yeah. CharlesM posted:Yeah, sprint is unbound by default. The fuel fill up doesn't appear instantly and it's really hard to tell if you're getting it right. I haven't gotten to the other fluids yet. I've never run into that.

I parked and went to go check, and sure enough, my missing headlight was off in the woods next to the dirt path headed back to the house. The object permanence in this game is pretty impressive sometimes, I lost that thing like three weeks ago in game time.
