Why, just why? (10.000km achievement)

[MeMenno]

Im getting so close to getting all of the achievements for MSC (75% as of writing this).
If it wasn't for this 10.000km achievement...
I know it was added after a claim someone got X amount of KM on the satsuma as a meme, but with all the wear and tear on the satsuma, there's no (realistic) way one could get this one without signing you're entire life away, right?
(tips welcome)

just use satsuma when going to literally everywhere, also dont use racing parts that might ♥♥♥♥ your engine, so just use the ones that is inspection-passable

If you don't care cheating, you can tweak odometer by using MSCeditor :P
I don't recommend this way though... but choice is yours.

The Satsuma doesn't break down regularly, as long as you drive it like a sane person. The engine may very well last upwards of 1,000km until you need to rebuild it, if you take good care of it.

@1rz2rz3rz Frik the editor, such a stain on this game
@wieski I'd LOVE to see you get 1000 km out of one build, not replacing even a gasket, nor fuel/water pump. Honestly, would LOVE to see you pull that off

i managed to squeeze out 500km and like, 3 winning rally runs off one engine one time.
i'm sure you can get farther without all the redlining :D

[MeMenno]

Who said anything about redlining? xD

Must be written correctly.
The user who unlocks achievements using MSCEditor is "stain", but MSCEditor itself is not "stain".
MSC Editor is not a cheat tool for unlocking achievements.
And it's very useful for mod development, for example.

aaaand this is where our opinions go different directions. :)

[MeMenno]

still a lack of actual tips on how to make the satsuma last 10.000km without 20 overhauls of the engine..
(just saying)

Yeah, that's why I said "not recommend".

Well, here's actual tip:
You can't made 10000km without overhauls.
Even if all parts are full condition at start, you'll need replace critical parts at some point.
Tires may need replace too, especially front wheels (since Satsuma is front drive car).

[DaFusèee]

You know, it's called an achievement, cus it's an achievement to reach 10k with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I'm at 2k

[JimBarracus]

I think it is more challenging to make 10.000km without dying.
The engine can handle 1000km without rebuilding and I think you can squeeze out a lot more if you're really gentle, like cruising on the paved road at speed limit with a low end ratio.

[MacFeely]

The mileage is cumulative. So for instance, I just started yet another play through last night because I died in a head-on collision. I've gotten the 1,000 km achievement, and eventually will get the 10k. It doesn't have to be done in one play through/save game.

1000 KM, after a fresh rebuild, with proper maintenance on a non stock oil filter, with highway cruising without anything major should be doable. Headgasket or fuelpump or something very simple may need to be replaced, I am not certain though. But major things like pistons should be fine.

The stock oil filter is dirty from the start, and parts are already worn from the start as well.

The significance of why he mentioned the redlining is because there will be increased wear from the rallying where he is revving high.

Anyways as to actually getting 10,000 km, just do high speed laps on the highway. Lowest (numerically) gearing would be best. You can use msce to get some retarded gearing and get to top speeds of like 300kmh.

At a speed of 200kmh, it would take 50 hours to get to 10,000 kmh. Since you're at 1100 hours it may not feel like too much compared to everything else. I recommend just watching some youtube or something as you drive. Perhaps do it little by little.
