Stuck in the bed of the truck.

After using the bed of the small truck for garbage disposal, The level in the back raised up enough to trap me in place. I was in the bed, dropping unused items and the level raised up and now I can't move. I can't jet pack out of it and "R" won't work on foot. Anyone know how to fix this? I put a lot of days building a really nice base and I don't want to have to start over due to a stupid bug.

I do think the Grinder is worth a shot in that situation. You have a save from the stuck position, you know you can return to that point at least. If it explodes and kills you well that's that, but maybe it'll either release you or throw you clear with non-fatal injuries. Vehicles can be repaired.

Save/load? Lots of jumping? Grinder?

If I grind the truck, it'll blow up. Save/load doesn't work. I can't jump, i'm stuck solid. Jet pack won't work either. I'm looking for a non-destructive way to fix this.

Only thing that I can think of is to revert to a previous Save .... that's why on EA games it's good to save often.

With respect, I don't need "lessons" on how to play EA games. I figured save/load would work, adjusting my height accordingly when it loaded back in. That kind of screwed me because now my last save is the one where I'm stuck in the dirt in the back of the truck.

OK... sorry for trying to help you out, your game your problem mate, and just a LESSON for free, when you save your game DON'T save over your last save.... at least you have a fall back save to load.... but you know best. Good LUCK

Hindsight is 20/20. I'm looking for a little creative thinking. It's real easy to say "See, I told you so." As you said, you're out of ideas so maybe someone with a good idea might have something actually productive to add. Thanks for your input.

Worth a shot.

Worth a shot.

Funnily enough, I got out of it with zero injuries and only minor damage to the airlocks next to the truck. Thanks.
