Tell me about it

Luckily I found the push function just as I was about to embark on a walk home.

Back home, I accidentally opened the shopping bag inside the van.
Spent 10 minutes hauling my stuff into the house. Throwing it PayDay2-Bag-Style:

God bless, lad, bringing FPARMA's ways home with you into civilian life.

Right-click > open in new tab on the image also gets you the direct URL. Also, imgur seems to be randomly failing/getting DDOSed for the past week or so and shit breaks sometimes.

[Motorsheep]

Maybe I gotta have an account for those options to work? Cause they don't show for me. Even "open image in new tab" only works if I right-click on the preview version. If I go to the full-size view first, I get a URL without a file extension and starting with blob:http://

[QUOTE=FunnyStarRunner;51259652]I must be doing something wrong with starting the van because I turned on the ignition, but attempting to enter driving mode didn't do anything.[/QUOTE]

1) turn ignition on
2) wait until the glow plug light goes off (10 seconds maybe)
3) hold-click ignition to start the engine

Pressing enter to enter driving mode just means that your fps controls are switched off, you're glued in place and vehicle controls are active.

That UI I screenshotted is definitely an account thing, yeah. And, yeah, that base64-encoded-image blob shit is something that started happening when the site redesign hit. It's weird.

Accounts are pretty handy, though. They removed the 250-visible-images limitation a while back (in exchange for forcing everyone to see ads, unless you block ads :v:), their embeds are clean and no-bullshit (excluding this blob stuff), and if you click through to an imgur page it's not an ungodly mess like tinypic.

That [I]is[/I] how engine works, right?!

[editline]25th October 2016[/editline]

I pissed on it for good luck too :v:

[EagleEye]

alright I'm sick of it. Spent 3 hours yesterday and got the car built, spent 5 hours today trouble shooting the fucking brakes. Removed the entire brake system and re tightened every single bolt, 2 on the brake resivor and 8 around the brake line system plus 4 on the wheels. Still won't take or hold brake fluid

[alphatwo]

How do you do the sewer jobs? I drive to truck to (what I think is) the right house and put the hose in as deep as I can, but after I empty it I have no idea where to go to get paid. Also, I can't figure out how to put the hose back onto the side of the truck when I'm done

[CodeMonkey3]

Oh.. so that's what happens if you don't sleep.

I was pulling double shifts pumping out shitters and had a heart attack behind the wheel.

[Runar]

Oh perkele :v:

[FunnyStarRunner]

Found out that my van never moved because I failed to actually start the ignition. All I did was turn on the dashboard lights.

Got in, fumbled around with the handbrake and stick, then eventually drove down the road before swerving into my farm and driving across a field. The storm outside distracted me from the lake I drove in to.

[Runar]

Right after this he slipped onto my lap so I couldn't see the road and I crashed into a tree and died. Oh well.

Fuck sake... was on my way home. Car loaded with goods.

[Thomo_UK]

Hey I rolled my van off the road and am unable to flip it over, it's the dead of night and the pub is too far to walk whilst I got thirsty from trying to flip it.

Time to become bear food.

I think next time I will take the truck everywhere instead.

Sounds pretty true to life for a garage built car tbh

[Grim_2o0o]

PERKELE.
Just got done building my car, had it on a test run to make sure it wouldn't stall and yadda yadda, all fuelled up and just sitting nicely on my driveway, and then I go to sleep, didn't notice the rain outside and answered the phone, was greeted by death through electrocution.

Guess the steam store description is fairly accurate.

[Brominum]

Are the save files encrypted / editable? I crashed my van forever ago and it had the only fucking fan belt in the entire map and I urgently need it :( The walk would literally take like an hour

[QUOTE=Runar;51259493]Guess I'll be walking from here then :v:

Making it to the store and back alive in the van has to be some kind of right of passage.

[Brominum]

You know there's a boat, right? It halves the journey time for me, just gets boring.

Try it in the muscle car. I tried to go pick up my friend in the muscle car at 3 am. I didn't even make it out of the woods.

[ROFLBURGER]

putting the motor in the car is the most infuriating thing ever

[Lexi]

building the engine

found a random set of bolts that weren't screwed in deep inside

[QUOTE=NeverGoWest;51260058]I have no idea how to assemble the engine, managed to get obvious stuff like headlights, seats, etc. in place on the car but the dashboard falls off when I try to put on the dashboard instrumentation.

This game's mechanics are frustrating as fuck.[/QUOTE]

Have you tightened screws and bolts yet on things yet?

[EagleEye]

So I started new, and my brakes work! but now the car won't move when in gear. I checked the gear linkage and shifter, both are attached. Could the clutch or flywheel be fucked?

Check the clutch fluid?

[EagleEye]

[QUOTE=venom;51261151]Check the clutch fluid?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, pro-tip only open one fluid at a time otherwise you'll never know which one is empty/low.

I forgot to tighten down bolts on the passenger half-shaft, finally its done... now I just need some gas :v:
