Mod to make scrap crew work?

[Tidgem]

Concerned about 100%ing without them and they seem very helpful. Any mod that makes them work based on computer time instead of server time?

[Meetch]

I've looked into this and the short answer is "No."

Long answer: Making a mod like this would be tricky. You'd have to simulate a ping to the WB servers with time-last-logged-in vs time-now so the game could calculate how much scrap you got. Not impossible if you could find a way to make it work off your local clock, but there are no WB servers up for this game anymore, so you can't see whether or not they check for ping authentication. If that's required, we're boned. I've poked about a couple modding forums and the Nexus but with no luck. You still need to build the crews for a couple achievements, but they're just scrap sinks with no benefit at this point, until someone fixes it.

Frankly I wish WB would quit putting online-only features in single-player games. It's a short-term cash grab that tends to annoy people (see Shadow of War), and leaves games a bit gutted once the servers are discontinued.

However, if you can find a way to spoof a WB server to make this upgrade work again? I'll be your first taker. Godspeed and good luck.

Being a game completionist myself, games like these make me want to slap someone in their HQ. You just destroy people's completion rate because of features that require multiplayer/connection and you can't do it because of dead multiplayer/servers. It also defeats the purpose of doing everything else because you will be screwed at the end either way.

Yes, and just like the issue caused here, I couldn't get my nemesis into Shadow of War from Shadow of Mordor (also WB published games) before they shutdown the servers.

Shadow of Mordor could have used an offline Nemesis mode and Shadow of War would be made to only read a save file from Shadow of Mordor to transfer over the nemesis content that way, or rat least allow the player to use their warchiefs from Shadow of Mordor in their Shadow of War campaign. At that point, nemesis mode in SoM would be useless to me. Well, it's already useless because it was shutdown and removed from the game.

For the scrap screw situation in Mad Max, it's a shame though. It was nice to use the feature while it lasted and it only needed a patch to make it usable offline. There are still ways to automatically collect scrap, but it doesn't help anyone with their interest in 100%.

Wait... you *have* to collect from the scrap crew to get 100% achievement completion? There are no achievements that mention them, am I missing something?

It's the achievement for non-repeating challenges. You gotta do all of them for achievement to pop

Awww man... I am having a lot of fun with the game and was planning on getting all the achievements... bummer :(

Guess I'll get the ones that are possible and see if there is a savegame available for that one .__.

I am going for as many achievements as possible too. Game is incredibly repetitive and becomes boring eventually

Okay, I might have found a solution:

I saw that too, I dont think it gives all the achievements just the one they've left uncollected.

It might work for getting the "Up to the Task" one (considering that one is unobtainable without the 'scrap crew')

Yes I imagine it does, but I've given up on it. Since I had my fun with it and it was just grinding then on, no point if I can't 100% it so back to uninstalled it goes.

Fair enough, still, might end up helping a future player :)

Unless someone can figure out how to remove Scrap Crew from the challenges list, then No, there isn't a way to get it to work.

I've been watching this thread.. If you want a save file, either early on or at end game, ion order to get the achievement then send me a request and I will supply the link in chat...
