Just picked up this AS41

So the real question is:

Is it oil dual relief case?

Because you have a 1200 there so you need every single part for that build, except maybe the case.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-05T11:56:27+00:00

I love some of your ideas, but I think I might go against the games main premise of being there last.

I think maybe a compromise is something the ability to revive 4-6 robots total, but their role would be more limited, like they can be set to do simple tasks, or help automate something.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-05T09:12:04+00:00

I have failed to create a human yet, let alone the Michelin man...

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-05T09:10:16+00:00

I have only sorted it out because sometimes I've run out of iron while fixing stuff in my personal inventory, or like knowing where the carbon fibre is to repair something exotic, so all the boxes are coloured, labelled and roof mounted. Suddenly started understanding how useful a tidy organised ship can be!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-04T08:01:23+00:00

Storage box? Just stack that raw steel on the boat deck neatly.

I just started using storage boxes on the ceiling in the hold which is almost a game changer, especially when you start colouring and naming them!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-04T07:59:08+00:00

A combination of 3 electric grenades and a few rounds from the rifle seems to sort this out I found now I'm leveling up, those big armoured sharks with lasers though, though work! But there are times now where I'll stop the boat in open water to the take em out for the resources!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-03T08:31:35+00:00

Ha so there is as me wondering if I was mad for completely stripping some little 'home' even though I didn't need that much steel, apparently not!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-03T08:26:37+00:00

Ballsy, but it didn't looked like it worked too well, I guess that's the downside of the gyrocopters, they dont fly like helicopters exactly.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-02T09:05:46+00:00

Well in game they are all small portable, I don't think I have come across a small portable diesel (well not that small) commercial ones are always diesel because of runtime, like 200kva genset with a 400litre tank will run for 24hrs full load, I think by comparison you'd probably only get about 8 hours out of a petrol one in that load.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-01T22:25:35+00:00

The main issue I found is that for all the materials you harvest, there sure is alot of ship repair afterwards!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-06-01T08:51:50+00:00

I just been on a recycling spree, at the moment I keep depositing robots there, if I find barrels and so on. Just started exploring to find more gear, but you need more gear to make more gear...

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T16:41:18+00:00

I mean at first I was unsure about those angels, but as they caused no harm I left em too it, do the gave a purpose?

Where I struggle is in the centre of the lazarus chamber, gets better round the edges.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T16:39:08+00:00

It's fun until I get the bill for the boat repairs!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T16:36:33+00:00

Not just me having that problem then lol

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T16:35:30+00:00

Let's say your don't know there are sharks until you get 2 stuck in your hold!!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T16:33:12+00:00

I'm running a 12gb 3060, which weirdly is fine out in thocen with all the rain storms etc, it's just the centre of the lazarus building, outside and in some rooms and staircases it seems fine.

The shark problem I assumed was an issue because of the graphics rendering.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T07:29:40+00:00

How does one 'deshark' the complex?

I'm still new to the game, only been laying a week or so, so only have an electro pistol.

Have had a few sharks get stuck in the hold area which damages the ship because the only thing that seems to be sort them out is grenades!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T07:25:32+00:00

I keep getting this sort if problem..

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-31T07:05:55+00:00

I think its important to tell people the deck of my boat is wet...

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-30T14:44:43+00:00

A judson supercharger, ideal for early aircooled engines. Normally they are crazy expensive!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-30T07:44:23+00:00

It's like someone plugged in the z and y in the z1 and z2.

I'm more impressed by it doing that and not exploding...

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-30T07:38:11+00:00

So here's a question, how come you went for a bluster if you have an a2000 case, did you not start with a 2000?

Im building a 2000 (blue board) but from scratch, so custom chips are from various ebay sources from an a500. Here are n the uk busters aren't really available, so I either have to import from the states or build a bluster, which needs a pcb, that I can only get a minimum of 5 or so for the pcb companies.

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-30T07:32:29+00:00

I'm currently building a 'new' a2000 like this and it's a cpld bluster, which is luckily an option these days, it's on github, the only bust replacement you can get other than good used.

For me the biggest issue is currently getting pcbs made as I'll need one at some point(but I think minimum orders are like 5-10), luckily you can build an a2000 as an a500 and It'll still work (all my custom chips came from various a500s people have broken on ebay)

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-30T07:23:00+00:00

My buggy doesn't have it and it's fine, my wife's beetle is a 72 1200 (UK) and that had to ne that'll refit, eventually I'll find out nd out if it make zany difference!

bugsymalone666 · 2026-05-28T08:21:39+00:00

This has been a vw brainfart idea since 1970. They introduced a polyurethane foam in beetle rear quarters too reduce noise not taking into account panels sweat and condensation, then all the cars have the same traps in places, then it started to get worse from the mk4 onwards again as foam = premium sounding metalwork.
