Quick update on the live tracker app I posted about recently. I added a live in-game proximity radar HUD so you don't even have to alt-tab anymore to see what's around you while playing.

• Live Enemy Tracking: It scans nearby enemies (Farmbots, Tapebots, Haybots, Totebots) in 360° and shows red threat icons with altitude arrows so you know if they are above you (▲), below you (▼), or on your level (●).
• In-Game Full Map Overlay: You can press M anytime in-game to summon the full interactive map over your screen, and press Esc or M to go right back to playing without messing up your mouse cursor.
• Floating Radar HUD: The radar floats over your game and can be moved/resized anytime with F9.
• POI Direction Arrows: It also shows nearby POIs (Mechanic Station, Trader, Packing Stations, Growlabs) with live distance indicators.
• Co-op Squad Radar: Still has the squad rooms so you and your friends can see each other in real-time. Here is the repo and download:
  https://github.com/Srlimao/ScrapMechanicCoopMap You can just download the standalone .exe from releases and run it (no install needed). Make sure the game is in Borderless Windowed or Windowed mode for the overlays. Let me know what you think and send me any feedback or bugs!

I built this vehicle for fluids extraction (oil, water, chemicals). It is equipped with a turret and a massive rear cargo area to store chests; it is designed for two players but can be operated solo. Everything was built in Survival mode.

Answers to likely questions:

• This vehicle is based on the one from Helldivers 2.
• It didn't install suspension because this causes massive lag.
• I intentionally didn't "overclocked" the vacuum pump to maintain a certain dramatic flair and the atmosphere of fluid extraction.
• It’s not 100% accurate, but I tried to capture the car's essence rather than its decorative details.
• This machine has enormous mass, that is why it has "drunk" bearings.

P.S. I apologize for re-uploading, reddit crashed and published an unfinished post

i went to do a level 5 raid like i would any other time and then the game decides that it needs to spawn the raid inside my farm destroying numerous hours of work and destroying my vehicle. I've heard of this happening to others and am very confused how a game breaking bug like this hasn't been patch out yet. not sure what to do now

I may or may not have a dying grafics card

The mountable spud gun behaves differently in Creative and Survival modes​. Because of this, I couldn't assemble my build in Creative mode after saving it in Survival mode​

When I first saw this chest i was like what am I gonna do with 10 vacuum ports? I guess this. There are some stuff that I could've just done with a T piece, but I wanted to use all of them.

as mentioned I found the middle ingot in one of the underground buildings but is a different colour from the similar ones (disconite, left and crimsonite, right) that appear in the mining hub vacuum thing, and it also doesn't appear on the wiki or in the creative inventory.

I know you can plant and harvest from soil so I put grow beds for 5x pigment flowers and now it's not working

I'm sick of this, Axolot needs to fix this bs. It's been 10 whole years and I still have to be online to play this game. I don't even play with people most times. Got kicked out of the game because steam is doing maintenance.

after finishing growlab 7 bro was there when i hit him i get hit from the back
