    I'm gonna try this on tonight's Custom Lobby! Looks great!

    Btw, you should add Active Links on your post to the Map and Gametype, not everyone will want to add you on XBL just to get the customs hehe

    UPDATE: Actually, the Download button should send me to the Map, not your entire library haha

    Couldn't get the lawnmower onto the grass. Invisible barriers keep the mowers off.

    Ah damn that happened to me a couple times before too, but I thought I fixed it. The blocker says its a one way team barrier and lets the lawnmowers through in forge... Alright will fix that when I get home from work today. I think I'll just get rid of them as the moles can't clamber anyways. Sorry about that!

    Ok the barrier issue should be fixed so mow on! Having other issues with forge lately where items arent saving where i put them. Hopefully ill be able to fix that issue too, but in the meantime the game should work. Thanks for letting me know!

    I'm absolutely so depressed that I came across this right now. I had come up with essentially the same idea about a week ago and have been sending out updates the past few days on xbox to followers on the progress for my own version. Unlike yours, mine actually cuts the grass as you move through and uses a push mower appearance instead of the tractor. Not really sure what to do now. Guess I go kill myself. Really don't want to finish mine now. Idk how many pieces and scripts you used, but I'd really like to share my ideas with you now rather than try and push out an identicalish map

    Oh damn dude! Well it sounds like your map is quite different. Mines essentially infection with the zombies driving tractors. No scripts involved. Msg me next time your online and we can check out what you got. Dont give up. Maybe you can still post it!

    Lol no mines literally the same but the mower creates lines of sight as the only real difference i can see from pictures. Ill probably finish it up but yeah just never thought someone would be working on the same concept.

    I played this with a large lobby and we all had a blast! That is, until everybody's game crashed.

    You should make this map more stable. Tried playing it today. Once with 16 players then again with 12. Both times, the game crashed. It's a fun map while it's working but if it crashes the game everytime it's played, I just don't see myself keeping this in my bookmarks

    Ah damn i wonder what crashes it. Prolly the grass... The moving grass animation is brutal. Ill see if i can mitigate it somehow.

    Yeah probably. All the grass mixed with the welded vehicles kills the framerate. The game felt smoother with 12 players but it crashed us anyway. Hope you fix it soon man :)

    CaptainDireWolf updated Lawnmower Spree with a new update entry:

    Lawnmower Spree

    Read the rest of this update entry...
    --- Double Post Merged, Jun 28, 2016 ---
    I got rid of 3 of the welded lawnmowers which seems to have fixed the crashing. Can only play with 12 people (really 13 with one person left as last man standing), but at least it works ;)
    --- Double Post Merged, Jun 28, 2016 ---
    Hopefully fixed it now! Let me know if there are any other issues.

    Thanks, hopefully it works now! And do I have to re-download the map or will it update automatically?

    How do you know it doesn't crash anymore? Were you able to play a full game on it with 12 players?

    In that case, BOOM


    Never stop, my man. In this unexpected shortage of good minigames, I'm glad you're still making them.
