Large Crusher update?

Hi, hope you have a great day.
In 2023, after the 0.30.4 patch release, there was a teaser that emerged on Twitter I think, showing a new "development test structure" posted by Diamondback. But after some days it was removed for some reason. I managed to find it in the Development Media thread.

Diamondback posted this « without an explanation », so I wanted to know what are your opinions about this. It reminds me of the Large Crusher, but it could also be another kind of machinery.
Also, I did not posted this in the Update Speculation thread because it is no longer relevant, so I think a new separate thread is better.

 

Yes, I would like to see a 'Wreckers Yard Car Crusher' with all the right audio etc.

At the moment I just drop a 'Container' on the cars in 'World Editor'....lol....works great



Loaded onto the 'Flatbed Truck' then off to 'Hot Rolled Steel Manufacturing' to be melted down for some more awesome BeamNG vehicles

 

What're you doing to secure the cars to the truck? Surely there's a better way than the node grabber and coupling them. I find that doing it that way tends to move the load around anyways and messes it all up

 

That is the right Question, ....In my screenshots after loading the wrecked cars onto the Truck deck I basically drove to Hot Rolled Steel very carefully...lol...watching the wrecked cars all the way. Have done some research but have not found a solution for the 'Tieing Down' of extra vehicle loads.

Hopefully BeamNG Devs or Modders come up with something as I see this is a necessary item moving forward....much like a Working Winch option for all haulage Trailers and Car transport Trucks

 

You could "strap" them down with the node-grabber tool.

 

Yes, agree 'bussin'...I was replying to 'MikeSnopants' above my post as there was mention if there was a better way than the 'Node Grabber' tool to couple them together.
