So cool! You are a genius of automation! My Skeeter drones need a lot of work to catch up with your systems! I may have to rewatch these a few times. I love that your vanilla turning system is spinning a mass of gyros to act as an actual reaction wheel would.

These kind of videos make me want to play this game again. Hope to see more of them! But this scared me! 34:07

Woohoo! So awesome 😍👍

Love the RedKnee/Jellyfish combo. Looks really good out and about doing their business. The little wiggly drills are just perfection.

Just when you think you've seen everything. Builds an aggressive wreck salvaging Mantis mech. Next up: Grinder drones!😋 I'd love to see them latch on to enemy ships and "climb" around inside like bugs feeding off the insides. Especially cool if they only go for power or something.

You are a wizard with your walkers and automation. Great stuff. The quad walkers I especially like. Nicely done!

Just seen the mantis, my gosh. Absolutely stunning

I strive to be more technical with SE like you and Engineered Coffee

Would love to see more bipeds.

You pick the best songs. I swear. Sometimes I put on old videos to listen to the songs

I wish you would add sound blocks to the mechs, that way they have music playing as the walk past you. Much like how we listen to music in our cars

12:54 I love this drone song.

can u try teaching this guy how to use these mods im not great at understanding some of these mods descriptions on how they work my brain just dont brain 😅

you ever tried to make AT-AT or AT-ST walkers from Star Wars?

Great name choice for the dog mechs! Really great episode. I enjoy the idea of the Mantis mech too.

Here's another idea try and make the spider mech from WILD WILD WEST 😆

Hey so here's an idea let's say your base get damaged but you have other things to do i was thinking maybe drones that can repair the damages that has been done to your base

As things are configured currently, if an enemy ship/drone gets shot down and crashes onto a road that is part of a mech patrol path, how do the mechs deal with the obstacle? Is this something where if a patrol mech detects enemy blocks in the path, it can call for a grinder mech (like the Mantis) to come clear the crash site? A thought that just made me chuckle... as the scrap walkers walk around on patrol, they occasionally sing a little patrol shanty song. That would be an unusual sight.. a singing mech.

Maybe it’s about time you made some flying defender drones! Also, a nice challenge that be entertaining to see you tackle in this series is to build one of your armored core mechs for some extreme offense. Maybe even do a new model from scratch!

Absolutely awesome addition to the base! As someone who has never attempted mech/AI controlled related builds, I am absolutely in awe. I always assumed scripts were needed for controlling walkers but I guess not. Not surprised by the number of timers, ECs and AI blocks used but it makes sense. Looking forward to a mech tutorial one day. Would be great if it was an in-depth one even if it takes multiple episodes. Looking forward to the next one!

27:58 That was super epic! The two Scrapikomas moving to attack together alongside the background music looks like something from a movie. I can imagine having an army of Scrapi drones following you into battle would look really awesome 😎

Your videos just keep getting better and better!

Amazing work!

I love the Ghost in the Shell vibra in that rover. Nice job

this is a sick series, watching with great interest! what is the song around 14:30?

Yeah, good job with the drone sounds. It would be nice to have an easy way to load sounds up to SE. I don't like having to fiddle with game files. It's not the 80s anymore. KEEN could easily add a Sound Generator Block or something. Oh and we need games on the Entertainment Centers, too. 😊

3:40:12 The mechs left leg is jittering around a lot. I think that's part of the flipping issue too. Not all on the lift pack. 😅👍

2:10:13 Wouldn't the two small hinges be 45°/45° to make it right in the middle?

I found this channel today. Started watching this Survival Series and I was compelled to Subscribe at Ep 2 because that's when I also found your GitS Tachikoma video (love that anime). Since you asked for input about sounds to play when the collision detection sensor detects something while the walkers are on patrol, how about something like a mechanical voice saying "Obstacle Detected" or even "Excuse me please" ? When the sensor stops it on the docking turntable, it would be a hoot if the Mech said something like "Hi Honey, I'm Home" or "Feed Me, Seymore". When it's time to return due to low power, as the walker comes around the final corner (not in front of the docking bay), could it be configured that at that waypoint it activates a sound block on the docking bay that plays something like "Caution, Mech is approaching" ? Fenrir could be set up with a couple different barking sounds too. One (aggressive barking) for enemy detected, and a softer barking (or a loud panting like he's tired) to give you a heads-up for low power (he needs to go home). Keep up the amazing Mech work, and hopefully you'll make other references to things I recognize as the series progresses.

35:35 WOOHOO!! soooo freakin cool. hey did he kick that road railing just before you cut the episode? lol we need to see some blooper reals for when things go awry and hilarious during the making of these episodes. ;P

30:55 oh! you already took the merge block off! lol

29:45 (on where to keep the robo-dog and where to patrol) since you have to other 2 mechs behind the complex and they patrol those central buildings, having a dog (or 2?) on the opposite side, near the rover/ bay, they can patrol (even without roads, like dogs like to do anyways) around the power towers and such, mirroring the road path but in the dirt (until there are more roads?). as for 'how to have him dock and undock', i was thinking it would be cool to have a little 'doghouse' that had a port on both sides, but with the way you did the other mechs that turn and such, that would be cooler! but having the igloo looking doghouse design with everything pretty much exactly the same as the other mechs, except the bottom port would be where they lock in instead of on the back. you dont want to have to get in the way of the turret (though you could have the connector on it directly like you have on your walking Mobile Base solar drones), so having a small connector down right next to the merge block means you can have them walk onto a platform that spins (like the other mechs), they get aligned, merge attaches them to power on platform and spins them around to exit, and small connector helps charge and refill ammo. then when they are done, the clamps and merge/ connector release, and they walk out. almost exactly like bipedal mechs do, but cooler looking. ;P

Your skill at mech building scares me, good sir.

16:00 so, it just hit me again (and i remembered to ask this time), if everything is running off the lights, and youre in a damage-allowed environment (even in creative, but especially survival), what happens when they get shot.. even minimally where the armor isnt really damaged, but the lights get damaged? do they suddenly not have the ability to control that appendage? no guns if the arm light gets damaged? no leg if that light gets damaged? 🤔 if so, though a really cool looking part, how would you fix that super weak "Achilles heel"?

woohoo! lets gooooo! :D

Your new friend kind of reminds me of Ravage from ‘Transformers 2, ROTF’.

Brilliant work. Long tedious and thought through, great work.

why dont you turn off rotor lock for the rotor under the override gyro? that way it would be able to turn freely with yaw, but the other axes will still be restricted by it. I think you could even give the rotor a tiny bit of breaking torque if you wanted it to still be a little restricted Also, under the dog house, you could have used a hinge instead of an advanced rotor. They line up perfectly with large grid. that would only take up the space of 1 large grid block to do the job you used 4 to do, and with less subgrids (edit: I see you rotate the platform with the hinge and used the piston to give clearance as the platform rotates, but ill leave this tip here anyway in case it helps anyone)

Nice! you are a Space Ingeniours

I love the sounds you added to the patrol mechs. Also love how this is a survival series and you're still just diving deep into crazy mech building. Thank you for continually showing how viable it is to make mechs completely vanilla.

Manz your mechs make me hella jealous as always xD Atm im working on a MAD-5D or the funny Maurader from battletech, the only issue im havin is balance, the thing doesn't want to stay upright when its legs are movin xd
