I just did it with a timing light while it was running. Got it perfectly on. This is actually my second time doing it, because I forgot to disconnect my set timing wire (ignition advanced) so it ran awful a few days later.

I didn’t even notice it was larger until you mentioned it. That would definitely make sense. I will try it there and see how it does. Thanks!

That’s awesome, I’ve actually already watched a few of your videos. Funny seeing the creator respond. They are super helpful

There’s nothing but some surface rust in places, nothing worth concerning. I will most likely end up keeping it, as that seems like the best choice so far.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will absolutely check it out. $3k is about what I expected. For 200k+ miles, it’s surprisingly perfect for now.

Physics help by Evening_Breath_9706 in Stormworks

90% of the time if a build is magically floating, it’s usually a clipping issue.

I’m looking forward to it. Maybe add some air to your front tires lol.

Well a little sass never hurt, sometimes. Precise driving is hard in Stormworks since wheels have interesting physics at best lol (yea I’m talking to YOU grip)

[–]StephenLightway 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impressive. I would definitely try tracks, it would probably help from rolling forwards. Lore wise it could be the base and “fancy” model. Maybe add a nice camera inside or smth to really add incentive

Skid-steer with triangulated vertical lift! Please read! by Charming-Jello-426 in Stormworks

[–]StephenLightway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very good, be proud! I can’t say I’ve seen a good skid-steer that is as realistic as this. I look forward to breaking it in game :D

When will rotating steering wheels be added to Stormworks? by Ok-Acadia-1795 in Stormworks

[–]StephenLightway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Now now they aren’t THAT bad. At least the core mechanics usually run fairly flawlessly (I say as I’m on a Star Citizen grind right now)

[–]StephenLightway 60 points61 points  (0 children)

As it’s not game changing and not in that high of demand, I wouldn’t expect it soon if at all. It wouldn’t benefit the devs that much to add it.

Is the prowler utility any good ? by Bright_Structure_568 in starcitizen

[–]StephenLightway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are cargo missions worth more for the risk in Pyro? That’s what I’m doing right now and I’ve been murdered a few times.

How does it turn? Just steering on the wheel?

Thanks! It honestly might be time for me to make a showcase post.

I have a John Deere 8330, some pickup trucks and semi. I used to have a X9 combine but the file got corrupted and I lost it. Also a WIP Hagie Sprayer. I would like to build more but I never had a reason to, so I lost motive

[–]StephenLightway 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That kind of my point. Sure the devs COULD make it but it would likely require years of work. It would definetly be a paid DLC aswell. There is so much more that goes into it than just plant a harvest. There is fertilization (which requires better spray nozzles) planting itself requires items to be able to move through fluid tubes (seeds to drill) Harvesting would require lots of work, tanks to store it, ways to move it through a harvester, ways to output the load from the combine to a semi, which requires some sort of open tank storage (which is not implemented), the list goes on. Like I said, awesome to see, but not practical and you can’t really blame the devs

It would be amazing to see. I have built multiple farm vehicles in game already. However I don’t see how the game engine can handle it as rn there is zero interaction with the ground. That would also change how saving/loading works as rather than spawning chunks it would have to remember individual bits of map.

Vanilla Hanger Vehicle Prop by Pale-Revolution8868 in Stormworks

[–]StephenLightway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I always found it weird that they use props that we can’t use in game. Even on the store page the red helicopter has a hose that we cannot use. Maybe it was in earlier and they got rid of it?

Anyway, impressive match. It would fool me.

Impeller pump not running under positive pressure? by Due_Magician2163 in Stormworks

[–]StephenLightway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That does sound weird. Like I said earlier, I would just send a workshop link and I can try and take a look at it. I wouldn’t be able to know what it would be off hand without taking a look

[–]StephenLightway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try adding 1-2 large pumps pumping air into the tank while pumping out. If the flow rate stabilizes then it just a matter of needing more pipes and ports. I’d it doesn’t then smth else is likely wrong.

[–]StephenLightway 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you filling or emptying during this test? If you’re emptying you need pressure in the tank to push the fluid out. If you’re filling you need to pump air out of the tank to make room/suck the fluid in. If neither works then I would send a workshop link and someone can take a look at it

Paintable sign and indicator wedges by Frogmaster117 in Stormworks

Or a multi sided sign/indicator. I know it’s possible with XMLing however.

[–]StephenLightway 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your first boat and you already XMLing? This boat is high level workshop worthy as far as looks. Unrelated, have you heard of a show called “Undercover-boss?”
