My Summer Car - Car building and 90's Finnish summer simulator - Games

[QUOTE=Orkel;51274608]time to go suck more shit-holes[/QUOTE] I loaded a save (not like I was going to tinker randomly with my engine without backups), but still, some expensive services there

I just realized the car's sort-of name reference. The real world version is a Datsun Cherry, a Satsuma is a type of orange. :v:

Oh no.. I built the whole engine only to realize I forgot to put the pistons in. WHY

[QUOTE=Vilusia;51274695]Oh no.. I built the whole engine only to realize I forgot to put the pistons in. WHY[/QUOTE] remove the oiltray and see if the checkmark shows when shoving a piston up.

[QUOTE=kimr120;51274769]remove the oiltray and see if the checkmark shows when shoving a piston up.[/QUOTE] I did that then the crankshaft fell off. I will make a video showing how I react.

"EARLY ACCESS TO CYLINDER HEAD LEAVES PISTONS OUT"

I think my battery died, any way to fix it or get a new one?

[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51273714]Another dumb question - does it take more than one bottle of hydraulic fluid to fill both the brakes and clutch? Or did I just empty mine onto the floor somehow?[/QUOTE] it takes about a trillion bottles

Just when I thought I finally mastered this game, a piston randomly punches a giant hole in the side of the engine block. I don't think I'm ever gonna get this pile of scrap metal licensed :( [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/429358847318026492/AE650DAD23E615FBB9F0C589E7276AC892573205/[/t]

Is it a bug that hitting "enter" doesn't do anything when I get the "enter drive mode" prompt, or do I have to have a certain number of parts installed? All I have is: Complete front suspension & steering assembly Complete rear suspension (both including wheels) Steering column & wheel driver's seat

My artism flared up and made me do a thing...

I was just driving along and died? Maybe a car crashed into me from behind or something, but I respawned at the main town with no car or anything. What exactly are you supposed to do at this point? I just spent 3k on sausages ffs [editline]28th October 2016[/editline] I guess restart is the correct answer here, I'm getting pissed off with how far the store is tho this van only does 80kph when do I get to swap a turbo into it

Unless it's like midday in which case you're gonna be walking home.

Managed to get the car running, took it for a spin down the road and back. Works great, apart from the brakes not working at all, minor issue. Just as i pull into the garage I hear "CLUNK" and now it just cranks :v:

[QUOTE=damnatus;51273886][img]http://i.imgur.com/D8WTOrI.png[/img] yo what's this[/QUOTE] Carburettor mixture screw. Scroll 'down' 20-30 clicks, choke a bitch, test and rev engine at a steady 2000-3000 RPM until the temp reaches around 80 and then release the choke. Scroll 'up' on the idle screw about 25 times and see how that goes. Still can't find a decent setting myself cause I keep dying in low gear, and have to turn the ignition again.

I thought you could only spray paint body panels.

[QUOTE=laserpanda;51275452]Wait how do you do this? I thought you could only spray paint body panels.[/QUOTE] There's a car template you can edit in the game files. You can also paint it there too. I want to do something for myself too but I am too gosh darn lazy.

Should I even bother towing and repairing a car that got pretty much obliterated in a crash or just start a new game. I'm not even sure I'd be able to find all the parts at the crash site

1 more noob question, how do I deal with dirtiness meter? Can't figure out how to work the sauna

[QUOTE=zerosix;51275476]1 more noob question, how do I deal with dirtiness meter? Can't figure out how to work the sauna[/QUOTE] Turn both knobs until you hear it humming, fill the bucket with water, wait for temperature to reach 70-80c, then just keep pouring water over the stones (using ladle as a tool). Takes 2-3 minutes for the dirtiness bar to start decreasing

Well now that running is back, it should relieve some of you people.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;51271891]There's bolts to align them, I think they're size 14, just look for a nut that's inexplicably in a joint near the wheel.[/QUOTE] It's not a not in the joint - it's a hex built into the joint. In real life you'd disconnect the ball joint and turn the whole joint. Or the nut would just be a fastener and you'd loosen it and turn the steering rod. The game is realistic in one respect though: you've got to turn the left side in the opposite direction than the right side in order to achieve toe in / out respectively. By the way, I 've counted the clicks: I think it's 120 clicks from max toe-out to max toe-in. The car starts out at a very large degree of toe-out, which no sane person would have on their car, as it's incredibly twitchy and unstable. I'd advise starting out with almost max toe-in (maybe 100 clicks) and working yourself outwards from there.

Is there a way to order/buy stock parts? My engine apparently ejected a main bearing sometime between the assembly and dropping it into the vehicle and I have no idea where it is :c

so how do you fix a piston shooting out of the engine making a big ass hole also, why does my engine get very hot? I have coolant
