[@lacuentita8485]

I would like it if you did that high quota run, as it would serve as an eye-opener to some users who think the cruiser is garbage. I’m practicing the controls and I have to say that, if done correctly, it is extremely good. A thing nobody mentioned is that you can use the cruiser to carry your own equipment, allowing it to have new uses never thought out before: - if you have difficulties finding the exit when inside, bring a radar booster and you will easily find it. - if there is a locked door, bring a key or a lockpicker (making this niche item actually useful) -you can bring up a weed killer to both fix the car and kill weed -that occasional slime annoying you? The boombox solves it all Basically, as long as you know how to drive the car, you just have infinite space, which is busted

[@scribblecloud]

wait how does the radar booster help find the exit?

[@lacuentita8485]

@@scribblecloudthe radar booster is pretty useful if you know what you are doing. There are mainly three methods of helping you out on finding back the exit to the outside of the facility: - If you play with a friend, they can get to see the radar’s perspective, so they can see anything that happens around it, including players. They can also ping them to make it create a sound to guide you back to it - when turned on, the radar constantly makes a small noise, similar to an engine. If you place it somewhat near an entrance, you can guide your way back to the radar, and then the entrance. - it also offers some decent light. Not only that, it also is a unique blue light. So you can place it in somewhere on the facility to, again, guide you back to the entrance. While the radar is powerful, it’s 60 credits. While that may seem cheap, if you want to reuse it, you have to take it back with you, which wastes time The only downside it truly has is the hoarding bug enemy, as they can kidnap your radar and forget its position. However, you can use that to your advantage, by finding its nest and killing it with skill. If you are playing in an industrial interior, I would suggest you placing the radar when getting near a corridor with multiple exits, as you will easily remember your way out once you see it again. On mansion interiors on the other hand, you could place it 3-5 rooms further away from the entrance, and place the radar in a position that will remind you of your way back once you get to see it again

[@lacuentita8485]

Just imagine the radar as if you were placing scrap items in a line to make it a pathway to guide you back to the exit. Also, if you thought I meant finding the fire exit, I’m sorry for the confusion

[@JuppeD]

I have never tried this but wouldnt 3 jetpacks 1 car be pretty insane? Im a pretty new player but when thinking about it one guy would get the car while three others loot as fast as possible. And then you could just bring everything back with one trip. But I feel like the only map this would work on is artifice.

[@lacuentita8485]

@@JuppeD your idea is pretty good, but it doesn’t need a jet pack, as there is a ship upgrade named the inverse teleporter, which instantly transports you to the facility. While some may argue that it isn’t as good since you can’t bring anything with you, you could complement that by someone using the cruiser to bring to the entrance everything they need, or the signal transmitter, which can communicate to everyone around the map. If you need to decide wether using a jetpack or a cruiser, it all depends on skill, the risk you’re taking and the conditions in mind. If you have enough money, you don’t want to learn how to fly with the cruiser and your play style consists of the guy on the ship, then the jet pack is for you. If you rather prefer investigate inside the facility and consider taking a considerable amount of time practicing, then the cruiser is for you (since the trade off is pretty massive). Hope this helps!

3:12 That's not actually how the super jump works. The direction you jump is dependent on your movement keys, WASD. You can jump in any of 9 directions including straight up. You can also influence the unboosted jumps the same way, though it is very slight.

[@sdfggdfg5fgdfg]

If you want ot do the HQ run here are some tips: Turn the engine of so dogs dont destroy it. Close the hatch so hawks don't destroy it or put items on the roof. Always turn the Magnet UP at the start of the day. Drive back early at 3PM if you want 0 risk solo or if you're playing multiplayer. Don't boost unless you need to because the noboost jump is useful for getting unstuck. Park in corners whith few AI-node connections so entities dont accidentally bump into the cruiser (example, park at art Fire instead of art Main) Drive slow-ish and by tapping A D and W instead of holding unless you're trying to turn around the car. Don't use it on eclipsed, DO use it on stormy rain and flooded Destroy trees on your way to the exit so you have more space to kill avoid or outrun enemies on the returntrip Reload the save in orbit to teleport your scrap from the cruiser inside the ship or only load it on the roof so you can unload it into the ship by sticking your arm into the square wall of the square rectangle on the roof to drop items down into the ship through the ceiling

The thing about the cruiser controls is that they don't work like vehicle controls in ANY other game If you press A to turn the wheel left, it will STAY left. If you press W to accelerate to a certain speed, it will STAY at that speed. If you want to drive straight forward you can't just release A/D. You have to manually turn the wheel back until the cruiser is moving straight forward again. Same goes for the gas pedal. That's why holding S while switching gears is effective

[@sirquags]

Something I found out way too recently about the cruiser: the super jumps actually go in whatever direction you're holding. If you don't press a direction, it'll do a neutral jump. The neutral jump speed is dependent on your current speed. However, you can also jump forwards, backwards, left, and right just by holding the direction you want to go. This works best after a single neutral jump since the extra height guarantees you won't bump into a slope and start rolling.

[@oponentgull186others4]

Honestly, I do agree that controlling it is hard, but that is a skill issue part of it. The issue is so many maps punish you for using it. Getting the cruiser back on the ship without it clipping inside the ship on some planets is a hard enough task.

[@qballin1523]

You can still get a small bit of use out of the cruiser on Adamance by driving it up to the gap and parking it there to compress the 2nd half of the way back into one trip, which can lead to less deaths to baboon hawks and giants, or save sometime if you get a lot of 2 handed items, it's still only a slight benefit, but you can squeeze something out of it in a pinch if you want to. And to add on it definitely very useful especially on Artifice where there's a lot of stuff to take back and you can actually see where you're going, plus it allowing safe (driver dependent) transport of two handed item while the jetpack cant is a massive help.

[@viveillyvi]

On Dine the entrance is actually super easy to get to. The cliffside to the left of the fire exit has enough room for you to drive on.

The easiest one is taking the leftmost path to finding the fire exit and then going on that little cliff edge you can take the car on. It leads straight to the entrance.

[@mobiust708]

Its funny to use, but not that good, watching you makes me believe that more. Take a look at vow, you didn't even get to the fire/bridge until 11. Also, says a lot when the jetpack was nerfed, going from 700 to 900 just to try and make the cruiser a more appealing purchase. A single jetpack costs twice as much as a cruiser, 4x as much if you count the "one free replacement" for buying a cruiser. Rend is the only moon I would consider "good" for the cruiser at the moment. Getting to fire is extremely easy to memorize and is extremely flat, even flatter than embrion, if you don't go over the hill to get there. Simply go straight past the front of the ship, hug the hill on your left until you see a crevice, normally you can hop down into it and be fine. Instead, drive with the crevice on your left until you see a light post in front of you. Don't approach it, just park there then jump down into the same crevice. That should put you right at fire. Then you can just bring the stuff out of fire and out of the crevice. Or you can just use jetpack, get to fire/main while the ship is still landing, then once you have a good bit of loot, start transporting the heavy 1handed items and make 4 trips from any combination of fire/main in less time than you can make 1 with the cruiser. Think of it in terms of another game that everyone understands. Pokemon. There is a good reason earthquake is used 99% of the time over a move like fissure. Is it stronger in theory? No, in theory fissure could hit every single time resulting in ohko's every time you use it. But if you don't have no guard or aren't making a last ditch effort, then earthquake is far more consistent over the long haul. What the cruiser needs to be good is simply a moon that needs it and doesn't make using the cruiser a massive threat. Imagine a moon designed like the dried lake beds where people can test experimental cars that have an entire jet engine on them. A moon where the main/fire are so far from the ship, it takes more than half an entire jetpack worth of energy and more than a full dose of TZP to reach. In that case, then the cruiser would be the perfect choice.

[@daviddevsgames]

completely fair only reason it took me so long to get to main entrance/fire exit in a lot of the routes is because I spent a little while trying to find them. I have noticed once you get better at certain routes you can make it to main by like 9-10 depending on the route.

HEAR ME OUT For titan, you can normally use an extension ladder to drop things from the very top to the veery bottom in one go.

My main issue with it right now is that it just doesn’t feel finished.

[@just-linx8271]

The controls aren't my problem, I got used to it and learned them. The random explosions are... Annoying, clipping into an object that wouldn't bother you while walking, is invisible (probably because it's some weird map protrusion) can seem very unfair. And then the traction. Listen, on an icy road, I expect that turning too sharply I would spin out with the back, be about 180 as the force of the tires would be pushing in the wrong direction, before taking another unorthodox turn or shooting forward. Instead, on normal terrain, I turn two degrees to the left, the wheels slip, and without any input *speeds up* into the turn as my front wheels become anchors and the car becomes a merry-go-round. And then without hitting anything, you explode. Or! I am driving forward, medium speed, no obstructions, wheel forward, and I spin out to the right for no reason, and then start *driving backwards* because the controls somehow got reversed. And then I explode. Ramming into enemies works 100% of the time, 20% of the time when the hit detection actually works, and even then you might be stuck in its collision box. And then you explode. Should have made it a buggy, not a truck. 10/10 when it acts 10/10

First time I used the cruiser I didn't realize I had to reattach it with the magnet. Left it at the company... immediately I thought that it was trash xD

[@gudadada]

It being possible to use doesn't mean it's not bad. It's still not getting you more value than jetpacks and TZP, even if it's feasible to play with it. It costing 400 already rules out any usage on free moons. The most it can uniquely and best do for you is prevent item loss and give you a landing platform/storage space on the ship, which in itself is probably not intended. It's fun, sure, but the clunkiness is not going to help you consistently get two-handed items back faster/safer on Dine and Rend. Artifice, maybe, but I've yet to see it proven. All the time you spend spinning around and getting it unstuck is time you could be spending running in a straight line towards the ship. Artifice also has many terrain tools to keep you safe, and if there's any skill issue, it's needing the cruiser to not die. So, is the cruiser overhated? Sure. Is it bad? Absolutely still is. Not everything in the game needs to be part of the core meta. P.S. Comparing it to the jetpack at the end is a joke. The jetpack can only carry 3 items... in about 3 seconds across the map. The jetpack is incredibly safe, the only way you should ever die is to it bugging out. Most items you get on a map will be one-handed (especially on Artifice), so the issue of two-handed items is solved by having them brought back earlier in the day by 1 or 2 people, and having one-handed items flown back risk-free throughout the day. Price is irrelevant if you can competently complete the first few quotas, but it's the only intended edge the cruiser actually has over the jetpack in general usage for optimizing high quotas.

"Too hard to control." Sounds like something a child would say. Also tbh, I like how even when you die, loot in the cruiser STAYS in the cruiser, and the cruiser stays on the ship, even after you die.

[@halftimex]

Lol, you're a problem. Not every non intuitive Control scheme is blameless. The dev made the vehicle shit intentionally. So people complaining is a no dip situation. It's like if the guy that made qwop said you were brainless for not knowing how to instinctively use jank controls. Even at high skill levels it handles like an apartment complex.

my problem is getting the loot from the cruiser back into the ship. after I have already driven it back, theres normally like a giant or dog right outside.

[@mangoschmooves]

You should’ve let us see how much scrap you got after each day. Also, Cruiser would be a lot better if it was introduced in v50 instead of v56, and it’s really only useful on rend/art. Everywhere else it’s pointless, especially in speedruns/high quota, and casuals likely aren’t going to even buy it, opting to go to paid moons instead, which is also why the jetpack price increase also doesn’t make sense. I’m really hoping v60 makes cruiser playable on more maps, and balances the maps so that assurance and art (maybe vow) aren’t the only viable moons. Edit: was wrong about rend, rend IS better than dine pre-v50. And i believe is still better afterwards as well. I had them just mixed up. I had included a sentence that called rend the worst paid moon excluding emb, which is untrue.

[@alfonshedstrom9859]

Rend is still really good wdym? It's more loot dense than Dine and doesnt have that much less loot than Dine, so on average you still find a lot. also a lot of Nutcrackers which you can kill for shotguns

[@sdfggdfg5fgdfg]

The cruser is viable and useful on rend dine and art. while its true you don't want to be an free moons after q1 if you're playing for a high score or whatever the cruiser is viable and useful on all free moons

[@mangoschmooves]

@@alfonshedstrom9859 in terms of high quota, rend is completely outclassed by dine in version 40, and is completely outclassed by artiface in version 50. You go to rend for one quota for shotguns, and then never go again. So I guess you’ve got me there. But, in terms of solo q10, rend is completely useless.

[@mangoschmooves]

@@sdfggdfg5fgdfg the cruiser being viable does not mean it is better, or even useful. For example, the main point of going to rend is for shotguns. You could have one person with a jetpack run trips with the shotguns and two other one handed items while your three teammates run trips on foot with the shotgun shells and two handed items (basically the v50 hq strategy). You could argue this is slower, but I could argue that the company cruiser is too inconsistent to be worth playing v56 for it, between getting caught on a 1cm incline and dropping items through the ship. The only moon cruiser would be worth is artiface, and that’s STILL asking for trouble with old birds and nearly in-traversable terrain for the cruiser. Additionally, can the cruiser even get through the gaps on dine? I thought it couldn’t fit, but I may be wrong on that.

As somebody with hundreds of hours in this game the reveal of the cruiser terrified me. I could go on for hours about how amazing Zeekers game design is but the moment I saw he was adding a car my heart dropped. I've seen the mastery he's able to pull, there's no way he's going to fuck up this badly but... How could a car work? He would have to create moons that are entirely car-centered for to even be considered a valid addition, and it made me doubt the future of this game. I was never fully subscribed to the idea that it would be terrible because of how amazing his previous executions were, even before leave the company been a fan for a long time but how? How on earth is he going to... Then it came out. How did he do it? The company cruiser is actually an amazing addition and I hate it so much less than I thought I would.
