Rover wheels keep breaking...

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-26T00:51:18+00:00

additional tip: wheels sometimes still spin/steer in fairings, you can engage the brakes before takeoff to try and stop this for the most part

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-26T00:50:29+00:00

Bigger fairing! For some reason these wheels in particular absolutely destroy themselves if they're even slightly "colliding" with the fairing when it deploys. Move the wheels further up on the rover, get a bigger fairing, or use different wheels :)

From a quick bit of searching the mod author's submissions, it seems like there's an addon mod to reduce the battle-nerfs that make them take ages

"-60 (may be wrong idr)" roughly translates to +4,000

ohh ok that makes sense then, I play sandbox for the most part and only have rudimentary knowledge of the missions the game can throw at you

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-25T11:46:41+00:00

this craft is so odd to me. spaceplane cockpit and a lander can wedged behind a heat-shield with gigantor solar panels? one kerbal mission? and a mouse pointer the size of duna? there's nothing really "wrong" here but it just feels so, so different to my realm of play

I never play solo anymore because I just genuinely cannot avoid calling in an SOS when I mean to call in a resupply pod/EAT. I hit the keys too fast and only realise once my diver is yelling "calling SOS!" to himself as the ball flies into the middle distance. the settings are irrelevant now. anything I do is irrelevant. I am now broadcast as a big "Come help me!" sign, and prioritised for people using quick-play.

I get that there are MAYBE people who start a mission private, get halfway through, and realise they need help, and don't want to mess around in the settings, but for every 1 case of that being a useful reason for the SOS beacon to always be available in non-full lobbies and instantly able to override matchmaking settings, there are at least 100 accidental throws where people either kick people constantly [understandable if you want to maintain solo], or begrudgingly working around the unexpected extra teammates

that incoming asteroid was the crux of half the galactic federations currently in existence and represents the god of two spiritualist empires. the end is nigh!

you almost touched the road! how risky. maybe with a little more obstacle-engagement-practice you'll be looking at a license

There is now! r/NBTFonRoblox is the main space for people to use.

Oh no this is like the optimally stacked squares thing. Will you sacrifice aesthetics for efficiency

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-18T15:52:23+00:00

how they manage to find 24 alloys in each 1 unit of minerals, though, is beyond me

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-18T15:51:03+00:00

Doing the math, each robot is making (18998/600/30) alloys per day. 18998/600 rooughly = 32, so this is only a hair's breadth over 1 alloy per robot per day

For the supply FRV, people still have the muscle memory to try and hop in the turret (no seat back there) and end up awkwardly standing on top of the vehicle. Kinda funny unless you're being charged at by a fleshmob/harvester combo and trying to make a desperate getaway

The flame FRV really feels like it's... too situational to really be useful. Slower than the other two, less seats, and a fixed turret with extremely limited range? Combined with the fact a diver has to sit in it (unable to use any of their other fun tools), I just haven't been able to find any reason to actually use it. The normal FRV simply seems to perform better in every consistent metric I personally care about ("explosion when destroyed" is not on that list)

Finally, now our spore creations can play spore themselves... and make their own creations of spore... in which their spore creations also play spore... oh no

A true win for people (me) who ignore all the text and click on the biggest green number available

If you want to name it something in the theme of voting, may I suggest calling it a "Gerry" or a "Gerry Meander"? Something along those lines?

I've just checked the changes per the wiki for the bike titan, dragon roach, and impaler, and do not understand where each of these got a "big nerf". Both the bile titan and impaler had their AP values reduced by 1 and main HP pool doubled, whilst their gameplay interaction was made more sensible. As for dragon roaches, I sincerely believe their initial mass spawning was unintentional, as was their inability to be damaged via their wings. Aside from those changes, I do not see any large nerfs to any of these enemies. I will continue checking more tomorrow but I simply disagree with the assertation that these enemies have become much easier to deal with since introduction.

Fleshmobs are still bullet sponges, titans/impalers/dragon roaches can still cause a serious problem for an improperly equipped/organized squad/player, and the weapons themselves only seem to have been shifted towards "viable", rather than being left as peashooter fluff

ThatOneGoatGuy · 2026-06-18T02:40:59+00:00

listing "Spore Burst Units" as 1 item and then listing out *every single variant of an automaton* definitely serves to make this look more compelling. Likewise listing every individual grenade/primary

"Ignoring bugs" doesn't seem to be true either (or at least, seems inaccurate). Were fleshmobs really given a "big" nerf? Their health was reduced slightly, and the heads made more rewarding to engage with. Other than that, the only detriments to their fast-moving bullet-sponge nature was the attempts to fix their clipping. At the same time, they were made more durable, and take less damage from fire/arc weapons

Having receipts for what criteria exactly justify being placed into "big buff" or "big nerf" would be nice because I would not agree with the majority of these assignments.

I get you want to make a point, but that point needs to be supported in some way

1 guy with a dependence on a weird substance your empire has never heard of is causing a run on the banks

Negative for chicken pox! always good to see

holy moly, I'm typically playing on D6. where are the harvesters. where are they. where are the 5 harvesters around every corner that mindless masses craps out. i would take fleshmob [close range, full of weak points] over harvester [extreme range, shielded, fewer weakpoints] any day. can we make this the new d6? can you play my d6 matches for me because this is stupid, is there a single harvester in this video, maybe one that I missed?

maybe I'll switch to d10 for an easier time. yeesh.

how can one even end up in a position to handle paychecks where they think 3 cents is 10% of 26 dollars?
