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

머리말

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, 하지만 지금은, 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 wiki.

시작하기

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: 중), 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, like so:

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, 보류, and a Plow!

Enhancing our simple vehicle

We’re going to add some suspension. 하지만 먼저, 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 [엑스] or Del to remove them.

Adding suspension

To add suspension to our vehicle, 을 클릭하세요 Side suspension piece, 그리고 attach them to the sides of the cab where the previous wheels were, like so:

Adding wheels that steer

Go to the Wheels category, and choose the same Powered Large Wheel as the start of the guide, but this time add them only to the rear of the vehicle.

For adding a wheel that steers, we now have 2 different options as of Version 0.109, Steering Large Wheel, 또는 Combo Large Wheel.

For this tutorial, we’ll stick to using the ‘classic’ Steering Large Wheel

Place these wheels at the front suspension pieces of the vehicle, like so:

Adding a Plow

To add the Plow, 에 가다 Utility category, and choose the Plow 물체. Attach this to the front 6-way piece we added in the step above.
