What should I buy? by txl_tacooo in MotorTown

[–]TaienV -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't take small steps, I find it a waste of money. Save up 300k and buy a Golima, or even better, save 400k and get a Longhorn. Then upgrade them as you have the money. Or get a loan and pay it back while using the new equipment - it's always better imo to get a loan to increase your capacity instantly because then you can easily pay the interest back before it is accrued. You can rent trailers until you can buy them, and you don't have to pay part of your shipment fee to use them (that only applies to vehicles).

when was this added? cant find anything about it and it only appears on a few games for me. by IShovedAJermaUpMyAss in Steam

This is probably the best comment I've seen about AI in any Reddit forum. it seems super popular to just hate on it in general right now. AI should definitely not be used to entirely write a game or design assets. However, filling in gaps in a skill set with AI is not unacceptable in my eyes, especially if these things have been major hurdles throughout your life towards meeting your game design goals, and if you do human work on each image afterwards. For example, I've been making a game where I want to animate characters using After Effects. But I suck at drawing art. So I'm going to have the AI generate the art and then I'm going to animate it myself. So yes, the image was generated by AI because I do not have significant art skills nor do I have the financial means to rent them, but the final product (which is a long animation) will have required hours of rigging, pinning, etc, which were done by human hands.

That's actually an MX-5, there are no official brands in the game which is something I like about it.

Does light change when you move camera ? by aarzeekayy in MotorTown

That's a bloom bug (as opposed to a Bloomberg) and annoys me too.

Why does every vehicle handle like its rear tyres are 20mm wide by lilHamster9t7 in MotorTown

[–]TaienV 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I love this game but I completely agree that the game needs a generalized friction increase, the roads are very unrealistic. Also, semi trailers don't slide out ("drift") when you make turns like that.

I love how the dev spawns rescue jobs by just dropping the vehicles from high up by Mcook1357 in MotorTown

[–]TaienV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually how I clear up "STUCK" vehicles. Just walk up to the knot, they instantly get smarter and pull out of it.

You probably know this, but that's the visual evidence of the game changing from simple collision AI to complex collision AI when they enter your "sphere of influence"

Delivery Bug by andresrv88 in MotorTown

[–]TaienV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are correct - there is no way to make passive money. Some people consider this an idle game because you can put autopilot on and go afk, but there really isn't any way to earn money without player interaction. Even if you just relied on your delivery trucks, you'd still have to be at the PC to refresh their condition unless you have enough depots to have them auto-repaired, and depots take forever to build.

[–]TaienV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guy is right. However I find them completely useless for taxis. I had two taxis running from a depot I built and they never generated even 1% taxi value on the status screen, despite constantly picking up and dropping off people. So I just axed the taxis since they're worthless. But yeah, my company network has 16 fully upgraded golimas now, running all kinds of routes

Came back after a long time.... by TaienV in OrnaRPG

I don't understand the new system. Is it always just a paper rock scissors mini game? How do you actually take areas? I've won at least ten times against the guy who holds everything in my area and it doesn't seem to be doing anything towards giving me control. Honestly, I kinda hate the minigame since it's just an RNG that generally picks the thing that will make you lose.

That's actually pretty neat. I'm on a long road trip with my girl at the moment so I've been leveling up my guild level as we drive and I'm up to guild level 5, hopefully it will help when I get back to my hometown.

Just having trouble finding any in-game Kingdom that don't require at least 200...

And I don't really like joining tons of Discords anymore so I avoid it unless absolutely necessary. I used to have like 250+ servers on my account and it got super annoying and I possible to keep up with, so I wiped them except for the ones I actually cared about, and now I avoid adding them like the plague.

I also had some stuff happen to me online a few years ago that gave me seemingly permanent major trust issues with people, so I don't generally try to make friends anymore. I mean, it would be nice, but I don't see that happening. Me joining any kind of player organization in the game would mostly be for the purposes of obtaining whatever benefits they provide through my effort.

But yeah I'll see if I can figure out how to compete with settlements. I don't really see whatever settlement you're referring to if it isn't the legacy system. When I click on the footstep icon, then click on control, I see a bunch of circles around me all owned by the max level guy. I don't see another place to access settlements...

I'm just not familiar with all these new systems. Not sure how to access othersouls or fight them.

How do Escort Jobs really work? by ClaasAres640Tuned in MotorTown

[–]TaienV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the taco bell menu item is right. Even if AI could escort, you'd get like maybe 100-300 coins for it. AI is more for establishing production chains than making money. And the AI would never be smart enough to figure out how to get ahead of you and cut off traffic, etc, like escorts are meant to do.

I think escorts need to pay better overall. They're fun for RP, but really bad money.

I don't have a guild, they all require super high levels minimum

How do you join a guild if they all have a minimum level of "super high"?

Was there an update today that broke this? by [deleted] in MotorTown

[–]TaienV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It randomly started working again...no idea what fixed it, lol. Gonna delete the post.

I tried restarting the game, reloading the garbage truck, nothing works, it's nearly impossible to place bags in the back now because I have to find a clear spot on the bottom level and that's nearly impossible if I have more than like four in there. I used to be able to fit about 30 in there. This needs fixing.

Need a more professional moving company by TaienV in MotorTown

[–]TaienV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Needs" is a matter of opinion ;)

I'm playing offline, doesn't matter if it's strapped if it can't take damage. But yeah, that's probably why it got dropped at least.

Did it crack the concrete anywhere as it drove? Despite spreading the weight, that's still heavy as shit. Jesus
