As we know, public demo will be released in one hour after writing this post. So I decided to make a thread where those who preordered (and everyone else two weeks after) will be able to upload their engine designs, both small and large, both foodblenders and furious beasts, both cheap and expensive, both eco-boring and nomnomnoming all the fuel…
Edit. A bit more than hour. You know, quick beta check.
Edit.2 Public demo is released
Edit 3.: I believe I’m not the only one who wants to see engines running, hear them, rotate them around or modify them. And well… uploading just pictures isn’t what makes that possible. I suggest posting xml files of the engines along with the pics.
the xml files of the engines are in documents/Automation/Engines. You can not only upload engines from there, but also put engines made by others in that directory in order to see them in game.
You have directory in documents, called Automation, and you have directory called engines there. Just choose your engine, and upload it via external file hosting, or via internal attachment uploading.
[quote=“nortala”]Scenario Description
You’ve been engaging in a bit of industrial espionage for a few hears now and have ended up as head designer of Super Evil Motors inc. Your mission, to construct the worst engine possible and bring them down. But the engine must not fail when it’s tested, or your cover will be blown.
Although I don’t know enough to know what specs to use for that one - all my engines fail…[/quote]
I’ve managed a .4 MRev engine As per killrob’s suggested requirements. it runs on kittens (ron 80 when kittens are unavailable)
Background:
In alternate 1978 world, Bosmal engineers were asked to make a more powerful engine for Fiat 126p. So they welded two original I2 0.65 engines, twisted camshaft and crankshaft, so it’s not Parallel I4, debored it a bit due to Automation limitations, and… it worked. Actually, it worked quite nice…
Background: The year is 1946. The place is Vitre, France. A young mechanic had a dream. He wanted every French guy to drive car. He founded Cossack Autos, which had two slogans: “Cars that make other cars seem good” and “It may be horrible, but it’s cheap”. Inspiring himself by these slogans, the young company owner made a body, made a wooden frame and wooden suspension. And he also was buying prewar engines from local car manufacturer. The engine displacement was 999 cc, and it’s power was exactly 35 hp at 4300 rpm. And it was cheap to buy. Now, you can see this engine in Cossack Museum or here:
The quickest I have got so far is a 2.7 ( HP unit since I understand that better of 396 at 9,000RPM downside the thing would cost over 2,000$ to maintain) I called it the Amy after my partner.
As per killrob’s suggested requirements. it runs on kittens (ron 80 when kittens are unavailable)
Latest is ok.
