Instruments of Destruction Build Guide Tips

Here we will take you through some basic concepts to help you in getting started, and to give you a head start in creating some innovative and interesting designs that will help you in completing objectives, or give you the skills to easily demolish those pesky buildings!

Preface and Getting Started

序文

It’s important to note that the game is still in active development, and will therefore change and evolve over time as we get closer to v1.0.

I’ll update this guide as necessary, でも今のところ, we’ll start off with something simple.

• If you’re more interested in doing missions instead, this guide will still be helpful but is not directed towards a particular vehicle type. More varied and advanced guides are still being written, but some have already been put up on ウィキ.

はじめる

Load the game and go to Sandbox. This is where you should start if you are wanting to build contraptions to mess around and have fun with.

We’ll start by using the Horizon Cab

Make sure you have Mirroring enabled (shortcut key: M), as this will save a lot of time, and most vehicles that we create are mirrored.

Building a frame using 6-way connectors

Now we’ll choose the 6-Way piece from the Frame Split category, and attach one to the sides of the cab, そうのように:

We can extend the sides further by placing a few more 6-Way splits.

Move onto the next section to continue adding some more advanced options to your vehicles, such as Steering Wheels, サスペンション, and a Plow!

Enhancing our simple vehicle

We’re going to add some suspension. でもまずは, we’ll have to delete the wheels we placed in the previous section of the guide.

You can do this by highlighting the wheels, and pressing [バツ] or Del to remove them.
