----> IF THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT THREAD TOPIC , FORGIVE ME IT JUST SEEMED LIKE BEST <----
Welcome everyone, I am SupremeGeneration (more widely known as old name generation1000 and known simply as "Gen" to all). This is an UNOFFICIAL guide, tutorial, and fixes to common glitches/bugs/questions to the widely famous game Build Your Own Mech by sharky99. Please note this is not official and will most likely not get official, as I will also keep updating it and more stuff. This is just out of the goodness of my heart and over 1 hour of my day, so please don't hate... and if you like please give feedback and more. NOTE: This is for BYM Fan Club specifically, but will help many new people at BYM.

SECTION ONE: What is BYM?
BYM is a game inspired by Build Your Own Cybersuit, a game by StaySpy. The point of the game is to make a mech to destroy all mechs. You have a variety of blocks and weapons to make an utterly powerful mech to dominate the battlefield. This is not a 'per round' game and it has one simple map (as of now) surrounded by garages. There is as much time as you will need, with enemies to challenge and more! It is fun for builders and one can constantly join tournaments to prove your amazing powers of building.

Section III: BYM Fan Club
The BYM Fan Club is an active community of fans of Build Your Own Mech! They discuss ideas, plan tournaments, make videos, do contests, help players, and more. If you ever need help, need to discuss BYM things, or simply want to relax and find out more about BYM, this is the place. BYM Fan Club is owned and ran by sharky99, the creator. It is co-owned and (along with the game) co-founded by Legionair2Victory. There are currently 6 staff types; Retired Staff, Helpers, Film Makers, Tournament Hosts, Moderators, and Admins. Retired Staff are people who used to be staff. Helpers are people who join servers and help people out with their mechs. Film Makers make videos of the game and often join tournaments to record. Tournament Hosts... host tournaments. Mods make sure everything well is in the game, while Admins have admin and are allowed to kick/ban/crash etc. within reason. Rules of the group are posted on the wall. Please do not go on to the group ranting about the whole BYM/BYC conflict.

Section V: Common Mech Problems + Solutions!
.I: Stabilizer arms not working = Most likely the problem is either it still has the lock, and/or stabilizers are backwards/glitched.
.II: Arms fall off upon mech spawn = If the mech is on moving arms, you may have to rebuild a mech because the mech has no lock for the arms. If no moving arms, you should be good.
.III Mech glitches and/or doesn't work = Try reloading and joining a different server. Contact a Helper for more help if needed.
.IV: Mech doesn't move = As above, try reloading or joining a different server. If the problem consists
.V: Mech doesn't turn = This problem is common and has a good fix. Add more blocks to the legs of the mech and add a stabilizer.
.VI: How to make mech fly = Apply hovers on the mech on different levels and use different colors, as they have height dependancies.
.VII What is acro and how to do it = 'Acro' is used by many mech builders, it literally turns the mech sideways while in the air with a hover or the weapons. I am no expert on acro but I am pretty sure you just
.VIII Hover makes mech go underground = This means the hover is too high on your mech and you should either make a new smaller mech or simply place the hover a bit lower on the mech.
.IX Moving arms (in general, not stabilizer) not working = Try deleting the lock and/or adding stabilizers.

Section VI: Common Tutorials
There are many things that people believe need to be explained.
Seat Glitch: You have a mech and a driver's seat. Get two (pref. 2x2 blocks) next to the seat and use the "+". Upon the "+" tool being open, click K on your keyboard and lift the two blocks to your arm level. Delete the mech baseplate/whatever's holding it and tada!
Arm Glitch: Connect a part (usually the mech arm) to your avatar arm. When your avatar arm moves, the mech arm instantly moves. It makes it so you can slice, very useful for thick or big mechs.

Well that's it for now? What are you waiting for? GO BUILD AND OWN SOME MECHS!
