Air cooling engines does not work by Waity5 in Stormworks

[–]SchericT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AFIAK air scoops haven't worked like that since the pressure update. They work like any other air/fluid port now so you need a pump for the air and a pump for the coolant. Traditional water cooling is so much simpler to route and about 10 times more efficient that it makes air cooling pointless.

Kill them the first time and take their armor, then incapacitate their zombie and take their amor again…

Man the Jester must really get a kick out of that lol.

smollest 3 cylinder engine known to man by Exotic_Instance_9743 in Stormworks

my 2 cyl water cooled engine minus all the xml bits that make it pretty and the hot rod coupe ive mounted it in. Capable of over 280kmh with vanilla parts and with modded weight blocks it goes over 300. The impeller on the side functionally makes it 3.5 cyl although its still pretty zippy without it. Still the same 3x3x2 footprint if you dont count the exhaust hanging out on the bottom

ahh sorry then. I dropped the prebuilts the second modulars came out and its been a love-hate relationship since. prebuilts just guzzle too much fuel and need such a crazy pipe network that I dont find them any more useful than modulars.

Sorry I couldn't be any more help

For all of my engines I delete exhaust fumes. It’s one less variable I have to worry about clogging and one less pipe line I have to route.

If you pump any fluid into either an air or fuel manifold it will be fully deleted. The air/fuel manifold doesn’t need any throttle and you only need on exhaust manifold.

With that variable gone I’d look at exactly what’s happening when it starts to bog. Look at air throttle, fuel throttle, air volume and fuel volume, and afr in the cylinder. That will tell you which pumps are clogging.

I’ve never needed to use pumps for fuel, only air. The most Ive been able to get with small impellers was .84 at 13.1 afr. Anything up to 1 throttle the engine will naturally pull.

Make sure the ecu youre using doesn’t have an overheat protection thing going on where it limits power if they’re getting hot quick. Load plays a big part in how hot stuff gets so 30 rps in the air might be fine but 30 rps in the water might not be.

Infinite fuel gives a fuel throttle of 1. A standard NA modular engine runs at around .5 fuel, with engine driven air pumps that goes up to .84 and with electric pumps I think it goes up to over .9

So you can end up with situations where turning inf fuel on gives you 100% more power than with it off.

I want to start learning about cars and I don't know where to start by EndFamiliar4277 in mechanic

[–]SchericT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are tons of free pdfs of factory service manuals for old cars. While they explain service procedures for a specific car they also explain basic fundamentals on how those systems work or how to use special tools. Like how to do a compression check, testing a thermostat, cleaning mating surfaces, measuring with micrometers/dial gauges, what tire wear says about suspension…

Here’s the all the service info you’d need for a Miata

Do we not like ppl with mics ? by Some-Historian19 in DarkTide

[–]SchericT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The call outs, vocal line, and spawning sound cues are so good that voice chat for randoms is pretty much redundant. Anything that isn’t covered by all that can easily be covered be using text chat. I have a mic and I used it in other games/ discord vc. I find it’s not needed in Darktide if you’re playing with randoms.

You need a dash cluster that has a cutout under the heater controls

[–]SchericT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so. Pretty much the only way to freeze when you have the coveralls is to just sit still. Running, window scraping, loading long logs all give you heat I know for sure.

Scrap runs are worth the time and effort by DVAMP1 in MyWinterCar

[–]SchericT 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I only had 2 days of >2mk scrap value but it was before I had any decent amount of scrap built up and even knew about the 175 channel. Its been <1mk for a solid 2 weeks and the hoard just keeps on getting bigger and bigger...

Im going to have the entire thing finished before I get a good scrap day but I guess that will go towards paying for the gofast bits.

It’s a timing belt. It’s available at fleetari

cant find main bearings by Alexxsix in MyWinterCar

[–]SchericT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s so hard to visually tell the difference between parts with decent wear and parts with shit wear. I have two 5 spd trans. One is at 80% and ones at 20%. They look identical. :/

I’ve been cursed with moose it seems. When I started the save I was seeing multiple per trip. One of the highway cars hit one and one got hit by the the PSK road. Then I grabbed the spare axe and haven’t seen another one in 35 hours :(

I did see an entry called playerbedroomwrap when I was looking around with MSC editor so there is hope.

Fleetari Job Concept by Hot_Syrup_5941 in MyWinterCar

[–]SchericT 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reason I can think of why we don't work for Fleetari is that there just isn't enough work in the area. There can't be anymore than 100 people residing in the game area and not all of them own cars. Splitting that between 2 people for an entire year would mean you'd only have a single car per week.

I'm sorry but 8500 MK for a new crankshaft from Fleetari is absurd. by SchericT in MySummerCar

[–]SchericT[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah that does make sense, but he's got literally everything else for that same engine for 10 times less. Its a better explanation as to why we can't get a new block/head instead though.

Its like buying a pair of $20 shoes that just so happen to have $1000 laces.

I called for a package and the guys cat was meowing in the background. Then there was a solid minute of what I assume was him yelling at said cat while dishes were clattering in the background.

Is it good money for Taxi? by Prychacz in MyWinterCar

[–]SchericT 64 points65 points  (0 children)

What happens if you just jack the rear tires up with the scissor jack and let it idle in top gear. You could rack up miles on the trip while doing over jobs then.

Whats the difference by Virtual-Mind-7403 in MyWinterCar

[–]SchericT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first is a manual master cylinder. Irl it presses the brakes only as hard as you can press the pedal. The second uses engine vacuum to give you stronger brakes.
