Yellow Forklift Clang
Hello.

First off, thanks for reviving EFM, it's really awesome!


Ok so, I've been playing EFM for a while, recently got to the Weapons Research Facility that has the little decorative-like yellow forklift.

When attempting to grind down the forklift there is some serious/extreme Clang happening.

-I've reloaded the save multiple times to try and find a way to avoid Clang, but it appears the forklift by default or whatever is converted to be a station rather than a ship.
-The moment you try and grind say, the wheels or convert it into a ship, it does a front flip (it mostly rotates around the back wheel axis for some reason) forward and digs itself into the ground, destroying parts of itself and making a little voxel pit/crater below it.
-Attempting any other means or grinding down different parts may cause different types of Clang but with the same front flip result.

The way I ended up having to fix it was by enabling admin tools for a short moment, copy-paste in a fresh one a bit above the block platform (or anywhere else), this one is turned into a ship properly.
Then deleting the original, and moving (copy-paste-delete) the cloned forklift to the location of the original forklift.


Just thought I'd report it for a bit, as it's a bit of an extreme Clang thing from the mod itself.

The grid is marked as a station to reduce performance hit to the physics engine.

Keen has since removed placing small grids into voxels; probably because it has these kinds of issues.

Hm, interesting.. will try this the next time I'm back on EFM.
Gonna start over because of the whole economy update anyway, just to avoid derpy problems from playing on an old save.

Cheers for the tip btw. :steamhappy:

I got the idea for Klang bombs from that yellow thing :-)

Clang on the yellow one comes from the rotor on the bulldozer arm. Haven't located the source of clang for the drill rover yet, but I think it's one of the pistons.
