What is Ramshackle?

Ramshackle is a vehicular building and combat game where you construct vehicles with point-placed struts and armor plates as the core structure, and populate the volumetric interior with modules and systems like crew, engines, ammunition, etc. Multiplayer testing will be the main focus for the week.

Platforms

Ramshackle runs natively on Windows and Linux, but on linux you may encounter some strange shader bugs we haven't tracked down yet.

If the native Linux client is unreliable try using Proton.

Performance

We're targeting 60 FPS on the Seam Deck and are about halfway there.

Lower-end machines should disable shadows to gain ~15 FPS. Singleplayer battles are more CPU intensive than playing on a server, because your CPU is running the battle AI.

Available Content

Note: we're still working on documentation for the game, some parts may be obtuse. We'll be updating the Ramshackle Wiki with additional articles throughout the week.

Designer

A complex vehicle designer is included with the game, with a spread of starter vehicles to reverse engineer. Most UI elements have a tooltip that explains their function.

Skirmishes

A 5v5 PVP mode, where empty player slots are filled with bots. Deplete the enemy team's tickets to win.

Missions

A simple PVE wave defense style mission is available in the "Missions" section of the Deploy menu. More might be added during the week if we have time.

Servers

A couple of Official™ dedicated servers will be running throughout the week in the US. The playtest includes files to host your own server, which will be useful for playing with friends, or if you want to set one up in your region.
