I've had buffers do that just in normal operation. If you couple/recouple they'll occasionally reset to a correct distance. Waiting to hear on a buffer fix really, they are really stupid right now.

Yep, kicking the Spintires people out killed the thread. RIP, niche sim games. That said, I do have a question. This seems like the place to ask: anyone know of more cleaning games ala Viscera Cleanup Detail or House Flippers?

Train station reno sim is more of the same as House Flipper and you get to sort the garbage. Some of the scenario's are goofy(in a good way) like cleaning up a bunch of toxic waste barrels.

The thing about Hardspace Shipbreaker, that I think seperates it from the other job simulators out there is a feel that you are working in a very dangerous environment with very dangerous tools and you can safely manage any problem put in front of you by being safe and slow. And you can make your way through the game like that. Then you realize that pinch points can be cut with your scissor beam. Soon after your will learn that fuel lines DON'T LIKE HEAT But damnit those 3 million credit paydays feel so good, and doing a "whole buffalo" (breaking down an entire ship) feels satisfying. So now you're using your tether to pull yourself towards the home base for oxygen (because you let it get to critical because you had a part you wanted to get into the barge) and whoops braked too late, and whoops that's a hole in your helmet and you're asphixiating, now you need to make up for the resurection costs, and let's just forget tethers and just slam this part into the furnace with the push beam, oh crap why am I in a furnace...

I wanted to get shipbreaker but people are saying that you quickly run out of ships to break apart and it becomes boring because you already know what's in each ship.

There's two ships with a couple of variants each. Some that remain the same outer hull get more complex(more systems, items, etc in them) as you go on, but yeah generally the same layout. If you're playing in the career mode versus free play, it can be interesting(to me) to try to do things more efficiently/quickly. like i already wasted a bunch of time exploring how to cut it apart, now that i know where the good bits are, how fast can i chop to get at em? but yeah, they said they intend to add more ships later. i've been through 8 hours on like 95% just the first ship (the other type became available at some portion into that, but i still kept choosing the same one because i wanted to improve my run. and without spoiling it, sometimes the systems changing mean the whole thing reacts differently than you might expect, like some cuts i was sure were going to work, uhh, didn't. e: they just added an "open shift" career mode that doesnt have the 15 minute shifts if that idea is a negative for reference/you to judge me by, i have ~4 hours over all versions of viscera(that i own), 13 hours in house flipper, 100%ing the base game, 10 hours finishing thief sim, 45 hours over three versions of car mechanic sim, and probably near 100 in farming sim 17/19(i just do grass and logging, though) StrixNebulosa posted:I feel dumb, I should've mentioned: I have those two.

Barn Finders sorta has a cleaning aspect in that you're picking up recyclable trash to sell and destroying other trash to find something valuable. It's worth a try imo Car Mechanic Simulator, you probably know this one

Last possible candidate, Gold Rush is shoveling dirt into a bin forever which I guess is like cleaning in the OCD it was there and now it's not way. Farm Sim probably scratches similar itches in a definitely better way thinking about it though. You're painting/sweeping with tractors, and lumberjacking is cleaning up trees.

I kind of liked House Flipper so I get the appeal of these games, but the idea of a solo guy just happening up upon an old train station or stadium and cleaning it up single handedly and suddenly making money like he owns the place is hilarious.

Train station, maybe. There's been some pretty famous train station renovations. But has there ever been such a thing as an abandoned stadium? I'm used to them being bulldozed instantly to be used for something else. Landlords Super put out a preview of the next patch btw and I'm optimistically excited about it turning into an actual game.

I’d second the recommendation for farming sim. I’ve managed to rack up close to 1500 hours between 17 and 19. It doesn’t really seem to get old cause you can always start a new map and the seasons mod helps to add a flow to the game that cant really be replicated in the base game. It does annoy me that the sandy bay map had such a major update that it involved starting a new game even though I was right at the point of having my farm rolling along nicely

I'm pretty sure I've played all the (2) games in this sub-sub-sub genre, but are there other sim-like games with a strong 'physical' world ala My Summer Car and Derail Valley that don't suck? It's hard to describe, but its one of the only games where while the physics is janky and weird, its very touchy feely and objects have a strong physical presence. The only games where you can get a "now where the gently caress did I put that" feeling. Obviously this plays extremely well with My Summer Car since it perfectly complements putting a car together, but it helps in Derail Valley in a silly way with "oops I slapped my book into the train brake." I guess Viscera Cleanup applies here too, but it does do an FPS when you're holding a mop or whatever. Really hoping Deadstick (a flight sim) follows this sort of game feel.

Oops double post, but while thinking of those games I thought of another that I don't remember being mentioned here: Open Sewer https://store.steampowered.com/app/951240/Open_Sewer/ You're basically a plague quarantine slumlord - okay, not the best sell. It's extremely dark and dreary in its own way, but also has its own sort of weird charm when you make a nice tenement of weird mushroom addicts and drunks. It looks like a super old game but it feels like an intentional choice and not a laziness (imo). It's hard to put into words, but I like it a lot. I would recommend it be a "wishlist" for the moment - The devs seem solid, but very small and methodical. They decided over a year ago that they didn't like the first implementation of the map and it caused a bunch of performance issues, so it seems they basically started from scratch. They're definitely consistent in showing progress on their Discord - but I couldn't recommend a "buy" unless the style absolutely grabs you and you have to try it out. Wait for the big map match Coming: Sometime.

I tried Open Sewer because I loving love INFRA, but it wasn't a very good experience. Performance was atrocious for the simplistic graphics it has, movement was very awkward and floaty, UI also not the greatest. Shame because I'm very into its vibe, and again INFRA owns, but I just couldn't get into it.

Hydroneer is an extremely $10 game and make My Summer Car and Derail Valley look they have all the user friendliness as a narrow triple-A game. It's not bad, just be ready for what it's offering. If it looks interesting I'd recommend sitting tight for a week and checking out the response to the content patch dropping this week. Besides any content concerns, if it's anything like release there will be about a week of frustration because the main release starts working like a nightly candidate as they patch one thing and introduce 5 new bugs for the moment.

I really hope it is soon. It’s one of the few things I’m willing to suspend any ill words for the devs because it seemed like the right move and they’ve posted progress and have a clear vision for the game, but it’s a shame it’s been a year. FWIW lunless you’re waiting for a sale, Open Sewer in its current version is at least worth a few hours of playing with, if you expect you’ll buy it anyway.

There's a new DLC and huge update for the original Spintires. The game now supports vehicles that turn like a tank and turn by twisting. They re-made how the mud works and a lot of other stuff, for example you can now change the tire pressure in some vehicles, pretty cool stuff. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1346090/Spintires__SHERP_Ural_Challenge_DLC/

I should've bought a bigger one but OH WELL I wouldn't sweat it too much; you don't have to plow every time, and only have to plow at all if periodic plowing is on. Otherwise you can just till. Later on you can afford to get snap-together combo-tools that are like a subsoiler with a planter on it so you can just make one pass and be good on everything but fert/lime/weeds. The plow's still useful to have around cuz you do need one to expand/define fields.

Another update to Derail Valley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1vPcZfa13o Features: Extended tutorial; Dynamic fees (so you can have more fees outstanding and still take on a new job depending on your bankroll); Caboose that has a loco remote signal booster and fast-charger, an end-of-train map marker, instant jumping between caboose and locos in the same train, a mobile career manager terminal (so you can service on the go), a stronger independent brake, and a bunch of item storage. Like the other hidden garage, you apparently have to buy the key for it and then find it somewhere. Also, you can summon it via the radio but it costs 10,000 to summon, so it seems like mostly an endgame luxury item.
