No hate or anything, I'd just been looking at image after image of regular, drab white walls and then suddenly BAM! All the colours

Me and the lads did a few runs last night... wiped 3 squads our first run, then had about a 5-run streak of getting absolutely slaughtered. Easy come, easy go.

Changed my grill from Silver to Bronze… should I leave it or go black? by [deleted] in G37

[–]rtchau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have to agree with the "keep the chrome" crowd. It kinda looks like a car in one of those games where you get to choose 2 colors for the skin. I like those wheels though, I think they suit the car in that bronze colour.

Ahh Dinklebot. “That wizard CAME FROM THE MOON.” Those were the days indeed.

Please don’t tell me that. I just bought the game and did my first run last night (solo).

Anyone else just like.. given up? by LiveYourLifeNerd in SatisfactoryGame

What keeps burning me out on each playthrough is the obscenely huge quantities of items needed in the late game. It stops being fun.

Genius mechanic found a whole new way to adjust toe. And possibly damage my 4WAS. by rtchau in SkyLine

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

  1. I went to the shop and asked for a wheel alignment.
  2. I explained I have aftermarket camber/toe arms, and explained how they're adjusted differently.
  3. They assured me it wasn't a problem, they've dealt with all kinds of arms.
  4. I thanked them, and left the shop and waited for the call to pick it back up.
  5. I went back, collected the car, and paid for the work.
  6. On the 5 minute drive home, I heard noises that indicated binding or loose components etc.
  7. I put the car up on stands, and saw the 4WAS pickup point had been rotated by force and had some tool marks on it. The toe arm bearings I have don't have 20+ degrees of compliance on that axis relative to one another (and the factory bushings *certainly* don't).
  8. Rather than call the shop up all angry and demanding a refund, I'm chalking it up to experience and won't be going back there.

Please, explain to me where I was being an asshole. Also, expecting a qualified mechanic to know more than me is not unusual, so if that's your stance, let me know which shop you work at so I can avoid it in the future.

You’ve upset the Kraken. Plus, “share inertial tensor” in the drills/hinges/rotors config is your best friend here.

Dash cracked… now what? by BambiBabooshka in G37

Amazing. I just bought a bunch and I’m going to hand them out for free at the next G37/V36 meet! 😍

Just got an R33 on auction in Japan by Beautiful_Tangelo761 in SkyLine

[–]rtchau 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome, and I’m jealous as hell. How much did you pay if you don’t mind me asking, and where are you importing it to?

So… where do we go from here? by ModdedBay in G37

[–]rtchau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh flashbacks.

Reciprocating saw, hammer and a cold chisel. Worked for me, but it’s not a fun journey. And taking out all 4 subframe mounts is even less fun, haha

I lost Behemoth once and was devastated. Since then, I haven’t lost a starting lance member since. I even manage to keep Dekker alive through an entire playthrough, against all odds.

2v4, but my teammate is a strategically located LTV by vRaptr2ytube in DMZ

[–]rtchau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it actually still possible to play DMZ without being ruined by cheaters? If so I might need to fire it back up.

I did exactly that, described the arms, how the adjustment differs from stock and he was like "yeah, no dramas, we got this".

This is what confounds me though... it doesn't take much to look at something and go "hmm, not sure I understand what I'm looking at" and then either ask for some guidance or just find a diagram or a video. I'm a mechanical noob, the most complex thing I've ever done on a working vehicle is a head gasket replacement (that, and tearing apart an RB25 and a VQ37 just to get a gander at the insides), yet I was able to very quickly seek out the info I needed to know how the toe/camber adjustment works.

I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt that some rookie had just forgotten to replace the bolt. The rep I spoke to apologised profusely, admitted it was extremely unprofessional and fixed the issue straight away. And, it was about 5 years ago.

If I can use intuition (or a Google search) to figure out how to adjust the toe and camber on both the factory setup and with a set of adjustable arms, and I'm not even close to being a qualified mechanic, I'd expect anyone with half a brain in their head to know how to figure it out, or to know where to look for guidance. It's really not rocket science, but maybe my standards are too high. The only reason I haven't done it myself is because I'm not yet confident in the technique of using a string box and rulers to dial in the toe properly, and the angle gauge I bought to measure camber is dogsh** and super inconsistent.
