this is like people on r/DeepRockGalactic complaining about the smallest things
Uh, learned
These numbers don’t align though. 4271 is not a Bxxx or Dxxx and also isn’t on that diagram on the left. I’m so confused rn.
B and D are weight classes. B 125 is tested to 125 kN, D 400 is tested to 400 kN.
DIN 4271 tells you how manholes of class B are to be build.
I see the number in the diagram now after looking more closely. Also seems the number is upside down in the game.
But why’s it say DIN 4271 tho?
DIN 4271 is the number of the standard that describes how to build manhole covers of type B125.
The correct manhole cover should probably state something like DIN 19584, which I think is the standard covering the B400 class manhole covers.
Obviously in the dystopia of Night City, lighter weight manhole covers were approved for road use purely to cut costs, and any deformed or destroyed covers have the cost offloaded to the poor rube who last ran them over.
So it is technically canon that cars start flipping or crashing for no apparent reason - the goddamn manhole covers broke.
Doesn’t explain the driver still sitting in the smoldering ruin and laughing while on fire.
Nah that’s just the implants frying
Most of the complaints about bugs in this game seemed overblown, but this is unforgivable.

You should’ve tried it on PS4 at release. It was glorious. I did have a ton of fun because of the bugs (couldn’t progress in the game much) but if I had paid for it I would’ve been pissed
I have never thought about the fact that manhole covers need to hold up to weight. Of course they do and it’s perfectly normal and sensible. It’s just not a thought I’ve ever had.
Technically it’s the manhole covers that need to support the weight.
Manholes themselves are expected to do the opposite of holding weight
Technically, the walls of the manholes, in turn, support the weight of the cover and whatever load is on top of it. The entire manhole is a weight-bearing structure.

They hold light?
It’s dark inside so of course the light is held □
Structures underground experience buoyant forces that act to push them up. Manholes (and any structure bottom, like storm inlets, pump station wet wells, etc) need special consideration since they can be partially or mostly hollow, so they have to be heavy enough to remain in place.
You know, I knew that but couldn’t figure out what the opposite of weight was for some reason. Thanks for the extra learning!
Fun fact: Coffins experience this force too, and during flooding can rise up out of the ground
Ah, that explains why my grandpa was buried in a lead coffin.
He lost a lot of weight right before he died, so he was too light!
For formula one races they weld them down to stop the cars incredible downforce from sucking them up into the air. Even then they sometimes get torn up and thrown around.
Very important to take them seriously.
Manhole covers are also a common exercise for engineering students. Like designing one that can hold x amount of weight with a specific set of limitations and/or requirements.
literally unplayable
This is part of the test you need to ace if you want to get German citizenship. We have some standards
We, in fact, have many DIN standards.
It’s not a bug, it’s a feature, in this dystopian world nobody cares about manhole cover standards anymore.
You underestimate the Germans
german humor, wonderful
I unironically love germans
And then they fixed it, right? Right?!?
Wintermute would complain about such mundanity.
Rivet counters have come to video games, I see.
You should look at the War Thunder forums…
