do you know if they can harm you outside the car?

#

just confirming i didn't brick the big cat or anything

#

ah, i might see why my targetable thing doesn't work

#

i'll try address this in 1.1.0

humble geyser do you know if they can harm you outside the car?

They were only able to hit me once

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:18 AM

#

unborn helm They were only able to hit me once

so the van is breaking the pumas?

#

yeah, okay, i'll defo look into this

#

thank you for informing me :)

unborn helm Apr 13, 2026, 1:18 AM

Np

unborn helm Apr 13, 2026, 1:19 AM

unborn helm They were only able to hit me once

I should mention, they were swiping at me if a bit before the clip and only one swipe landed

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:19 AM

#

i see

#

i think i know why

#

should be easy to fix

#

if i can make them not target you in the truck if all the doors and windows are shut i think that'd be ideal

#

because otherwise they just kinda get stuck on the van

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:42 AM

#

kay, i might've narrowed down the problem when dcing

#

hope n' pray, maybe

#

nah, it's just throwing the exact same shit

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:08 AM

#

kay, i fixed the error, but the player who left is still like, well, stuck to the seat

#

iirc this is kind of a vanilla issue

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:14 AM

Idk if it was a bug or what but this shit was frying me

#

My mic was broken in this clip but I was laughing my fucking ass off dude how did this even happen 😭

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:15 AM

#

let me see

#

i think thats the geometry of the map

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

LOL

#

Yeah that makes sense

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:16 AM

#

the car uses unities wheels which can just freak out if the geometry isnt smooth

#

there's nothing inherently wrong with the cars physics, it's sadly not something i could rectify without making an entirely custom wheel collider which is a whole can of worms in its self :(

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:16 AM

I wish my mic didn't do that I was laughing my ass off it was so funny

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:16 AM

i see you finally got up to third

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:18 AM

#

I've been trying them out. It's a little confusing, but the more I drive this thing, the more sense it'll make. It's reminding me of changing gears on my bicycle. I've never driven before IRL, so that's the closest thing I can compare it to.

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

humble geyser i think thats the geometry of the map

i'd be surprised if it isn't, and if it isn't then i can look into it

#

but i am 99% certain

#

this vehicle is probably the most stable vehicle physics wise in lc :p

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

No I bet it's the geometry of the map. It did look a little funky, and the Scanvan hadn't done nothing like that previously. I've been using it like all day

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:19 AM

#

not to brag or anything

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

No I believe you because you seem to really know what you're talking about and seem intune with IRL car mechanics and how they correlate into a video game.

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:20 AM

#

it's kind of at the mercy of unities wheels right now

#

and unities wheels are quite sensitive to weird geometry

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

That was genuinely so funny oh my god

#

That was like the last thing I ever expected it to do

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

that was pretty funny, at least it didn't kill you lol

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:21 AM

#

It did a whole fucking flip ☠️

#

Yeah

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:23 AM

#

i do hope demonmae flattens the geometry out a bit

#

with a vehicle like this it becomes really noticeable and it can throw the truck around quite a bit

#

all the sharp angles in the road and stuff

#

and if you aren't using the auto recenter config it can be a bit of a doozy to control lol

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:25 AM

#

That would be nice. I really appreciate these vehicle moons they made, they're really nice. And they have quite a few other moons that are good for the vehicles in their other moon packs too I play on a bit.

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:25 AM

#

we played on demonmaes moons today in our play session

#

i'm really shocked the scanvan could do any of those super steep inclines

#

sure we had to do them in first gear but

#

it had the torque

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:25 AM

#

Yeah LOL

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:25 AM

#

plus the assist i guess also helps

#

we never tried hillstarting on them though

#

wonder how that'd go..

#

some of the slopes had a sharp angle at the bottom so this van kinda hits against them

#

since it's made more for the cruiser which is shorter and stubbier

#

but style takes precedent in my books 😎

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:28 AM

#

Yeah

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 2:30 AM

#

but yeah they do be fun anyways

#

i kinda hope to see more vehicle moons in the future

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 2:31 AM

#

Me too. There's not a ton. I mean I know of quite a few by Demonmae but other than them I don't see many people make vehicle moons.
Poweredmoons does a few good vehicle oriented moons but idk when they'll be updating their mod to v81

because this was only going to fly with me for so long lol

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 4:06 AM

Really? The stick is different and the radio looks decently different. There isn't an AC unit either - at least not the dials

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 4:16 AM

and then it had a speed that was interpolated based on if the car was on or off

#

which is why it gradually speeds up and down

#

i mean i still have the model for it and everything

#

it's just not in the current model

#

the fan was never originally for this anyways

it was for the prop in beaniebes vehicle hangar that i put together

it added blizzard, heatwave etc

all the doors and stuff had to be shut ofc

Oh I did get a chance to check out the v55 cruiser yesterday too (was off work since my allergies where playing up), took it to embion and um err. I made it to main pretty easily, was "lucky" enough to find appy straight off the bat and decided to try my luck.

rough garnet whats wrong with old birds and the cruiser?

they can't see seated players

#

only when they're flying but they will just land on you and not aggro

it's because they look for your transform which gets buried inbetween the vehicles colliders

arctic iris Hey Scandal, does lightning damage the Cruiser in vanilla or the v55 recreation?

lightning never damaged it

in v55 it struck through it because it never checked for vehicle layer

#

but it never damaged it ever

arctic iris Apr 13, 2026, 6:08 AM

in v56 that was fixed

arctic iris Apr 13, 2026, 6:11 AM

It bothers me that lightning does not at least deal minor damage to the cruiser.

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 6:12 AM

#

i think that would be a bit too mean since if you just put a ton of metal in the back your cruiser would go up in flames extremely quickly

#

i think the poor durability of the old cruiser and unwieldy nature is the best method of balance

#

especially for something that could trivialize scrap collecting

I mean there must be a reason why he decided to buff it

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 11:26 AM

#

fervent timber It was actually a praised decision more than disliked, the main thing I miss is ...

it's a bit of a mixed bag :p there are people that do not like the buffs as it goes against the whole idea of the car, with that being that it's meant to be fragile and awkward to use

#

I obviously dislike it, if you couldn't already tell, because having a nearly indestructible tank on four wheels that transports an infinite amount of scrap at a time, and can also fly, completely strips any lick of skill out of the car and does not fit into lethal company.

The cruiser was never meant to be this all powerful game changing piece of equipment you could buy for a pretty cheap price, making it fragile, clunky and hard to control is such a good counter balance when it has the potential to trivialize gameplay.

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 11:32 AM

I love that song. I always use ButteryStancakes' mod that readds it to the Cruiser

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 11:38 AM

#

fervent timber I mean there must be a reason why he decided to buff it

He doesn't know what direction he wants to go with the cruiser by the looks of it

#

Because he nerfed it slightly on v80

#

But it's still a mostly indestructible tank

#

The people that praise changes like the v70 buffs just do not "get" the company cruiser :p

#

Those people also just.. I don't know.. I don't know how to put it. I guess for one they just don't understand the cruiser is fundamentally meant to be terrible for starts, but also, I guess they'd rather just have things easier, maybe because the cruiser completely trivializes scrap collection and it means they can just hoard shit tons of loot in one go

#

I guess those people just don't appreciate the art of learning how to use something properly to get good use out of that something :p

#

Sorry if this is a bit poorly worded I'm typing on my.phone and I'm tired

#

The cruiser just feels so overly numb and boring to use right now, there's no sense of vulnerability and you know you can just overpower 99 percent of things in your path without consequence

#

The skill factor has also kinda been tossed out the window

What is the difference between the v55 Cruiser and now the v81 Cruiser? I didn't know there were a ton of changes.
This sounds like it sucks, though, from what you're describing. I completely agree with everything you're saying.
I enjoy the fact that the vehicles in Lethal Company are really unintuitive and are a literal learning process.

You can't just hop in and drive. You have to sit with it, familiarize yourself with it. Spend time and care actually learning it's nuiances. It's why the Scanvan is growing on me. It's fucking complex, difficult, but that learning process is very much enjoyable to me. I yearn for that in a vehicle mod and you delivered on that front perfectly for me.

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:49 PM

#

glacial geode Alright, thank you <3

i'll just give a brief timeline that should explain stuff:

v55 release: car was extremely fragile, fast collisions were insta death for seated players, items didnt count as collected
v56: added weedkiller boost ability and ability to heal car using weedkiller, items in the car count as safe in orbit, the insta death was turned down to damage the player, the car was made slightly more durable and traction was reduced to make it a bit more stable
v70: most sources of damage removed making it nearly indestructible, car has a self uprighting feature, self regen buffed a fuck ton, car has a short boost after hitting the gas after changing gears, enemies such as dogs dont damage it anymore
v80/v81: minor nerf by adding small bump collision damage (you have to be going slow anyways) and self regen nerfed slightly

#

in v70 i guess there was also the "nerf" that the car wont instakill large enemies at fast velocities anymore

#

and it was turned down to do 12 max damage

rough garnet Apr 13, 2026, 12:51 PM

you can’t run over the fox in v80 as well right?

old birds don't target the car specifically in my mod, the method i went with is a bit hacky but it works

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 12:53 PM

#

I'm genuinely surprised dogs don't damage the Cruiser??? Like, you're ramming into a massive creature. When people hit shit like moose and stuff IRL your vehicle is totaled, and moose are a lot less beefy than an Eyeless Dog

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:53 PM

#

i made it so that if the player collider it detects is in a vehicle animation, then it sees through the vehicle layer

#

this doesn't sacrifice los blocking for non seated players

#

but it do allow them to see you at all times when seated in a car as if the car was invisible

#

which i'm okay with

#

works well for my v55 mod (feels more authentic) and makes them more of a threat

#

otherwise you could just face the back of the car to them and be fine

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:54 PM

glacial geode I'm genuinely surprised dogs don't damage the Cruiser??? Like, you're ramming in...

yes

#

just don't use any mods like cruiserimproved with the v55 cruiser

#

because, well, i'm sure you can figure out why that wouldn't work

#

it's an entire model replacement with its own controller

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 12:57 PM

Alright I'm gonna download that right now cause I want the old Cruiser, it sounds more fitting for Lethal Company.
The only Cruiser content mod I have installed is this:
https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/ButteryStancakes/RadioBabyFace/

Thunderstore

RadioBabyFace v1.0.1

Adds the unused "Baby Face" song to the Cruiser radio.

#

I assume this mod is compatible

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:57 PM

#

radiobabyface doesn't work on my v55 cruiser but i have my own implementation

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 12:57 PM

#

Oh

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:57 PM

#

it won't cause errors but the reason it won't work is because

#

it adds the song to the radio

#

and then my mod replaces the prefab with the updated model

#

which doesn't have the song that butterys mod adds

#

so you don't need radio baby face if you're using v55 cruiser but it won't break anything

#

you just need to enable it through the config

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 12:58 PM

#

Thank you for letting me know, I'm glad I asked. I didn't think something like that would cause issues

#

So just enable Babyface via your mod in the config?

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 12:58 PM

#

it doesn't really cause issues its just that my model overrides the original cruiser prefab after butterys mod adds babyface to the radio

#

yes

these are the only 3 configs i added

right hand drive is my own gimmick and it only works if true-v55 is off

just adds a random chance for the car to be right hand drive

It can't be that bad

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:05 PM

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:06 PM

#

glacial geode It can't be *that* bad

the broken suspension just causes jitter at all times and it's really bad at speeds and when turning lol

#

the broken steering is just the usual desynced wheel

#

the "non true v55" steering matches the front wheels to the steering wheel directly which makes it feel "heavier to steer" but i guess that fits thematically with the truck

glacial geode Apr 13, 2026, 1:07 PM

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:15 PM

with the v55 car it is a requirement so you don't lose everything but that's fair lol

item collection is a thing that "makes sense" but it changes so much about cruiser gameplay

#

YEAH that's true

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:17 PM

#

putting items on the roof of the car was also heavily abused as it used to break baboon ai

and it prevented baboons from grabbing loot

i don't think it breaks them anymore but i have not confirmed this

#

oh yeah another thing i forgot about in my "timeline"

as of v70

trees dont damage the car

Or running into trees all the time doesn't ever really do anything

#

Yeah

humble geyser Apr 13, 2026, 1:21 PM

#

because any enemies under or equal to a certain size as of v70 are just not allowed to deal damage to the car

You can disable Baby Face via the config

don;t think you can with the other one currently

No I want Baby Face, but not the other two.

i never mentioned it but one of my other ideas for the v55 cruiser was that it would have elements of "pre-release" cruiser as well, as a config maybe

I found it on the website I use for getting LC audio files without needing to open unity

its a very different experience from modern day cruiser as well imo

like i also fixed giants not being able to grab you out the cab and shit

i did add enemy protection but only for the back specifically

glacial geode Apr 14, 2026, 1:09 AM

#

That's good

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 1:10 AM

#

so it's not "fully authentic", i guess it's more "v55 if it worked properly"

with only some intentional jank left as a config as it does make the truck more unwieldy

Uhhhh. Yeah idk if there is a fix for this. Buuuut. What I do when driving the Scanvan during stormy weather, is I put everything metallic in the back. Actually I just put everything back there during a storm. Keys, flashlight, scrap, utilities.

I've driven twice during stormy weather, having multiple lightning strikes hit the Scanvan, and not once did I die.

It's most likely cause the key was directly in your inventory so it struck your player directly instead of the Scanvan.
Just put everything in the back if it's stormy, and you should be safe <3

I hope this helps!!

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 9:59 AM

it can happen in vanilla with the rear compartment too it's just rare due to the height of the rear box area

I think sometimes the explosion check would leak into the cab and that's why it did damage

So now it's coded that if you're in the truck it cannot do damage to you

the steering has smoothened inputs so it doesn't stop instantly turning

the first few turns have the most effect

i added a hint for this in 1.0.9 when you stall it for the first time ^^

glacial geode Apr 14, 2026, 6:05 PM

#

But it seemed like it was due to the lightning striking the player and not the cab. The player was holding an item that could become conductive. I've never been struck - but the people who report being struck were holding a conductive item.

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 6:06 PM

#

rugged copper you may be right

when you're not in neutral and you just slam on the brakes, the brakes overpower the engine, the wheels lock up and the gearbox, which is still actively connected to the engine with the clutch not pressed, cant turn the wheels so it just locks up and dies

if i did this in my irl car it would do the same greed

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 6:08 PM

i'm just saying that when you slam on the brakes it locks up the wheels because there's no ABS

which can very quickly result in a stall because of how a manual works

if you feather the brakes to just slow down a bit it'll be fine

if you lock them up for too long it can stall

Installing the v55 Cruiser mod Scandal made makes the Scanvan feel incredibly balanced.
Not being able to jump or heal the Cruiser makes taking the Scanvan more viable if the terrain is a little more tricky. But the Cruiser costs slightly less, and is much easier to drive than the Scanvan is (despite the Scanvan only being slightly more expensive than the Cruiser).
They kind of compliment each other because both have strengths and weaknesses. Where as if I ordered the v81 Cruiser it just would feel better than the Scanvan in every way. Especially since it can literally count items into the ship when put on the magnet, and tons of other shit.

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 6:10 PM

ah, yeah

mine has a simulated drivetrain system with gears and gear ratios

the top speed is dependant on the gear ratios and final drive

#

the vanilla cruiser just applies torque consistently in drive up until a certain number at a fixed rate

rugged copper kinda doubtful considering how most of the maps aren't cruiser-friendly

idk there's a couple unused variables that hint, to me, towards zeekerss wanting to have a more realistic car

#

even just variables like MinEngineRPM and MaxEngineRPM speak to me that he wanted to make it more realistic

#

since the cruiser never simulates any form of drivetrain or engine rn

glacial geode Apr 14, 2026, 6:17 PM

Would you ever consider bringing these ideas to life in the future in another Cruiser mod?

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 6:17 PM

#

humble geyser Apr 14, 2026, 6:20 PM

#

rugged copper I don't understand nerd language, so in big tldr; I just say

max engine rpm is the max speed of the engine

#

for example on my scanvan if you look at the gauge cluster

#

the middle needle is the engine speed

#

if you use the gas in neutral you'll see it "rev up"

#

alongside hearing the engine rev up

#

when you let go of the gas it goes down but not to 0

#

to the minenginerpm (idle rpm)

#

the numbers on the dials for the tachometer are multiplied by 1000

#

which is what the "x1000r/min" is

#

rpm is just revolutions per minute

#

pretty fast shit

A. rewrite a part of the manual to include stuff about the clutch (probably the best, maybe on the last blank page)
B. add a config to turn the hints off forever

the gear-stick does explain some stuff about the clutch but it doesn't explain like, setting off and shit

If this is the case, try different light fixture shapes, maybe? Or have the light going along the Scanvan interior lengthwise. This might change how the shadows are cast to appear more desirable.

rain dragon Apr 16, 2026, 8:15 PM

#

Ok I'll keep very brief. Just also add that I REALLY like this mod. It kinda reminds me when I first learned driving stick. And it just fun and interactive as well.

#

Add a noise for when the car stalls, I know the noise cuts out for when it's stall and the dash goes dead. But a better audio for when it stalls would add a lot of characteristics to it and tell people who aren't aware that the car has stalled
My own complaint is that the car feels like it drives on ice and it slides a lot at high speed. I like the way the regular cruiser feels with the "Bettervehiclecontrols" mod. I guess it's what I'm saying it needs a bit more traction? Cause I often find myself over correcting the turns I make.
This point is more so of a personal want. But I wanted to know if you planned on adding a config option for a free scanvan daily that comes attached to your ship much like the mod "cruisercourier".

4.I'm unsure if it works from the mod itself but add a magnet hotkey that functions exactly like the "bettervehiclecontrols" that magnetize the vehicle to the magnet.

#

If you need me to clear up what I'm saying in any of these and let me know and I'll try to elaborate better when I'm home.

rain dragon 1. Add a noise for when the car stalls, I know the noise cuts out for when it's ...

This is something I'd like to do!
The car does not have bad traction (infact, the opposite, it actually has really good traction) However, the steering has "smoothened inputs" so the steering wheel keeps moving a little after releasing the input keys, if it helps you can enable the auto-centering config I added, just like BVC has for the vanilla CC.
- Another thing with BVC is that it completely nukes 2/3s of the steering wheels animation (to "fix" the desync in vanilla) which means you "don't need to turn as much" to turn where you want (the front wheels reach full lock at this angle in vanilla). I don't do this as that's lame, my steering wheel has a full 900 degrees of rotation like a real car, but I also added a "curve" to the front wheels which means the first few turns of the steering wheel have greater effect on how much the front tyres turn, and it tapers off towards the end (also like a real car to an extent with rack-n-pinion steering. This is one of those things that you'll need to just get used to
I'll.. I never thought about this, I'll have to think about it, maybe a seperate submod or something
I got asked about this, but I'm not sure if I'm personally interested in this, ages ago I did have an idea for one of those remote gate openers (like we had at our old flat) that hangs from the rear view mirror, but for the magnet instead, but nothing ever came of it

rain dragon Are you thinking about making it dead in the sense that you need to buy a new on...

nah

#

limp mode and rodknock

#

and maybe can't be healed beyond a certain hp (unless taken into orbit?)

#

we'll see

#

that might be too mean

#

i want it to still be useable but i don't want people to just get off scott free for doing something like this

#

but i don't want it to feel too unfair

#

maybe the exhaust will just start gushing out big blue plumes of smoke as well lol

#

i could just damage the car in the same sense driving in park does in vanilla

I getcha. Maybe you could add two different types of modes of difficulty for that situation in general? An "expert mode" for people who know how it works and it could be tighter timing, along with is own consequences.
and "base mode" in which it is RN?

I don't know the reality of coding these things so I'm just spewing things ideals it

ehh i'm not too sure, right now you can just shift to first while going like 70 mph and the car will shrug it off

#

which rubs me the wrong

rain dragon Apr 17, 2026, 12:01 PM

#

Yeah! I did. When I get home tonight I'll miss with the settings and feel the differences

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:02 PM

#

the only setting pertaining to steering is the auto centering config i added

#

otherwise, steering this car is just something you get used to

#

since "it's like vanilla" but it's also not

#

if it helps you can also look at how much the tyres are rotated based on where you position the steering wheel

#

so you can see how much of an effect your steering input has

#

my tyres are indeed not broken like vanilla ^^

Flat tyres 💔

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:07 PM

#

lol i don't mean that

#

i mean the wheels and tyres don't match each other

glacial geode Apr 17, 2026, 12:08 PM

Tyre puncturing mechanic would be insane

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:08 PM

#

in vanilla you can have tyres pointing visually right but the car goes straight

humble geyser in vanilla you can have tyres pointing visually right but the car goes straight

OMG

#

I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

#

THAT BUGS ME SO BAD

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:08 PM

#

same for my v55 cruiser but.. we don't speak about that

#

if you disable true-v55 mode on my v55 car it fixes this

#

and also fixes the suspension so it's not a jittery mess

#

the car is still an unwieldy pile of garbage

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:08 PM

glacial geode THAT BUGS ME SO BAD

Stop you're so mean

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:10 PM

#

my v55 cruiser is terrible and i love it

glacial geode Apr 17, 2026, 12:10 PM

#

Yeah I love it too

humble geyser Apr 17, 2026, 12:10 PM

humble geyser if you disable true-v55 mode on my v55 car it fixes this

also disabling true-v55 mode allows you to enable the random right hand drive chance, if you really want that
