Process for reparing 'faulty' engines?

[hobophobe]

Sorry if this has been posted before, but I did do some searching and nothing appeared.

Just wondering what is the exact process for repairing faulty engines? I am having a lot of problems with this, first of all, you can’t seem to do anything from the regular ‘view vehicle’ page, do you have to remove the engine itself or something?

Press “M”, or mend.

And have the proper parts to mend the vehicle.

Ah, crap. Totally missed that, thanks. Mended the engine using a makeshift fuel filter, good as new now!

e; whatever happened to the newb tips and tricks thread? It appears locked?

New policy seems to be lock threads if they get too big, then use the “share a link to this post” feature to continue the conversation.

No idea how that is supposed to work, I guess just make new threads for quick questions??

There is a huge amount of valuable information locked up in this topic that is essentially inaccessible. This kind of discussion needs to happen in different topics so people can find the information. If you disagree, do feel free to post in Site Feedback with your thoughts, this isn’t permanent or irreversible.

One of the neat features of discourse is linking topics together. The general idea is that too-long topics are a pain to read, but it’s important to maintain the context that came before. If you want to make a related-but-not-really-on-topic comment in a thread, please click the link button (resembles a chain) and then “+ new topic” button. The old conversation will be referenced, but it won’t pull all the history along with it. This allows the new topic to move in its own direction instead …

Because I locked all the threads that have been idle for over a year. Something about the new system seems to encourage people to necropost like crazy, so I’m just locking down ancient history. If you want to reopen the conversation, open a new topic that links to the old one as outlined here: Site Feature Showcase

And yes, just make new threads, no matter how small you think the question is.

Cool, seems pretty efficient once you figure out how everything actually works.

I necropost because the list of messages at the bottom is apparently a random list of unread messages. I click on them, get interested in the topic, and post. If I’m doing it on my phone, then it’s hard for me to see the dates.
