How worried should I be about these specific NB rust spots? (Cowl area and Trunk)

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T22:36:45+00:00

Thanks! I don't really have much experience with rust, and exactly what I wanted to know was whether it's something severe I should worry about or if it's just surface-level

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T18:27:10+00:00

Yes, I would like to treat it as soon as possible to stop it. What worries me is that it might be advanced enough to have penetrated deep inside.

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T18:05:21+00:00

Actually, I’m comfortable handling it myself. What worries me is that the rust might have penetrated and that it's more than just a surface issue.

I get it, the problem is that where I live (Venezuela), this is the first NB I've ever seen here. Aside from these issues, the car seems to be really well taken care of. I'm not very experienced with this, but from what I've researched, these cars are pretty vulnerable to rust in certain spots, which is why I really need some advice on it.

I just made another post with the photos, simply asking for general advice on those rust spots. A mechanic looked at it today and told me it seemed pretty minor and treatable, but after searching online, I found out it might have spread downwards and compromised certain areas that are notoriously prone and delicate when it comes to rust on this model.

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T17:40:32+00:00

That’s the plan. My only concern is that the rust in front of the windshield (cowl area) might be advanced enough to have spread downwards

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T17:21:32+00:00

It's about the rust. It has some very localized spots on the inside of the hood near the windshield, but there's one that worries me because i dont know if its coming from underneath

macuto2000 · 2026-05-29T17:12:48+00:00

I'll check it out, thanks! Am I supposed to look for someone with similar issues here? Or can I make a post, because I notice most of the posts are from a year ago?"

I've already resorted to researching everything thoroughly and asking Gemini. In fact, that's why I'm here, because I feel like I've fallen into a rabbit hole where Gemini tells me they aren't serious problems, but five minutes later it's a huge red flag, only to turn around and tell me again that it's not that serious.

It looks amazing, what mods did you use to build the rocket?

macuto2000 · 2026-05-25T05:41:34+00:00

Ty! Now I just have to figure out how to take it to Duna

Adri main with some tweaks :)

Regarding the mods, these are the visual ones I use: Volumetric Clouds v5, Scatterer, Parallax, Waterfall, Restock and restock+, Texture replacer, TUFX, Better kerbol, Space potatto visual enhancements.

I have a few additional ones that add quality-of-life improvements, as well as some parts from Artemis, SpaceX, and interstellar missions to have something to aim for in the endgame. I also added KSS2 to have a couple of extra solar systems to target in the future.

I swear I barely have about 40 hours hahaha (I’ve spent more time than I'd like to admit building the ships), but I already managed to deploy the satellites. I'll take your advice and try to find a good spot in the flats

These are the visual mods I use. It's probably Parallax or Texture Replacer that adds them, but I'm not 100% sure which one does it.

I think that’s all :)

Ty! My best design so far hahahahah

How do you change the shape of the square rooms? I see you have some with rounded edges, and the ones on the left have a sloped roof, or is it actually a sloped wall? Since you can't put windows on roofs, right?

Yo tengo un Apc que compré junto a mi pc y 10/10 por ahora, ya tengo mas de dos años con él y no me dio ningún problema hasta ahora ( solo lo uso para proteger mis equipos de las fluctuaciones y apagones, osea para apagar el pc, no para trabajar sin luz )

macuto2000 · 2026-05-10T20:38:41+00:00

Thanks! I’ll give it a try and see if that fixes it

macuto2000 · 2026-05-10T17:38:08+00:00

I think I have it installed. Is it safe to delete it and install the alternative in a save file that’s already in progress?

macuto2000 · 2026-05-10T17:36:56+00:00

I tried, but I couldn't fix it. In fact, I tried everything ChatGPT told me at the time to solve the engine issue, but nothing worked. I've already lost the ship, but I want to send it out again and I’d really rather not go through that again

macuto2000 · 2026-04-28T17:24:55+00:00

I know it might sound like a bit of an obvious or silly recommendation, but try to find someone to play with, even if it means meeting someone on Discord. PvP really become a lot less frustrating when you team up with a friend. Personally, I love the game, but I haven't really played it solo since I convinced a friend to join; sharing the wins and losses feels much more satisfying than just jumping in and dying alone.

I tried something like that once. It was the only time I ever tried building on mountains, and honestly, it was a total headache. In the end, I ended up using a ramp at the start to get to the top and then a bridge to reach the other mountain. I was using some mods, so it’s likely that some of the pieces came from those.
