Regretting buying the Orange Beast Bugged piece of crap

[Papa D]

Hi this is the tenth time it happen. I'll get a notice about spring is destroyed, I go check and the one on the backside and it changed no problem. Go back to work and I get another notice for the same issue just it the one in front, I go to change it and it gone nothing there. But I can't place the new one. I tried to remove before placing the new but nothing no highlight like normally broken. Then stuck can't use the wash plant. Like I said at the start this is the tenth time so I knew it was coming. I went and checked the one in front when I got the notice with tool we use to see the % of parts, nothing would come up. Is there a way to fix this issue? I'm a 58 year old disabled vet and I play this game a lot to help keep my mind off the pain. I was really looking forward to this new map and equipment I hope this is a bug that can be fixed soon. I'm really getting upset now this crap is still messing up spring issue. I can replace the invisible spring buy the hose we repair, but the other one is just invisible can't even take out the old spring like the other side. And I have a waste of $$ and I was so excited to finally see a new map and wash plant, and can't even gone a single clean out with it. And I tried everything even reinstalled it multiple times. Very disappointed this issue is still going on, about to the point I'm going to uninstall completely I only have all but 3000 hrs on the game. I'm giving the Dev's one more shot to fix this issue.... the holidays is always hard on me, was depending on t Gold Mining to keep me busy and my mind off the pain and lonely..... Merry Christmas

I haven't repaired the Orange Beast yet but have encountered a sometimes invisible spring on the shaker. There was no broken icon and the tester didn't find anything broken there. I could see a place where a spring should be but just the mounts were there. When I crouched near to the spring mounts and slowly moved the crowbar all around the area I finally got a highlight on the tool to detach the spring. The location the crowbar found was misplaced about a foot but when I used the crowbar a spring popped out. I could then replace it.
Maybe that technique would work on your machine until you get a more precise answer.

(I'm a fellow disabled vet) good luck!

From one disabled vet to another......... THANKS for the tech tip that worked. It took a little bit of time and a lot of patients LOL but I'm back mining thanks
Happy New Year may 2025 be better for all

I haven't tried Orange Beast yet (still working at Nighthawk). Once I'm done with Nighthawk, I will jump to Waterfall parcel and try it out.

(Not a veteran. But thank you for your service! )

Wonderful Papa D :) Enjoy playing, I like this one too!

You're welcome JMH714. It was an honor to have served.

I finally found the YouTube video where I learned about this workaround! It's from
@GamingWithJJ where he mad a video about "how to fix everything...", from three years ago. He explains this glitch. I can finally give him the proper credit.

I'm having issues with the remote conveyer belt. When i fully extend the belt and I can't run the belt. I have retract the belt then full remote conveyer belt glitches lifting up in the air then rolls around but i can then run the belt. As well i don't get the full height of the converyer belt either. Has any one else has this issue?

I don't have any issue with that. If I ran into something like that, I probably would try to close the belt and hit reset on conveyor or reboot the game.

I had weird issue with front end where the front wheels are not "connect" to whole body. I rebooted the game and it seems to fix it. So, maybe it would fix same thing with remote conveyor??

[Shadow]

how you reset the conveyor in the game?

[JMH714]

Go to map, highlight the conveyor and click "restore." If it doesn't fix the issue, then the best way is to reboot the game (close Gold Mining Simulator and run it again). Hopefully, it will fix it.

I will try it and let you know. up till now i've saved the game..closed out of the game...I even took a rest till dawn but notta before i put my original post.

So the restore didn't work. This is a good one though which you may like to hear. I brought a brand new one and it worked just fine. However i still have the glitchy ones on in my mining camp that are unusable. So i will transport them to a different mine site that i plan not to use. Is there a way to sell heavy machine in the game?

[JMH714]

That is interesting and good to know.

To sell the vehicles, just park by the trash bin - within rectangle concrete area and then click on cash register.

Thank you for the tip. To bad you can't goto machine store where you bought them then and sell them there instead of doing it the way you mention. I see doing it for parts and smaller equipment but heavy machines will see if i can put a track on it spot and try to sell it,lol. I'm just playing for fun so everything i buy is set to a dollar.
