The crusher is legit dude the devs display something like this in the trailer. No lift but they crushed the bots

[@AceCrasher24]

there are so many ways they try to teach us this, every ai in the game behaves the same way as players do, any interaction that can kill you or send you flying will do the same to them.

You have just made my farmbot raids soooo much easier to handle when I only have a hammer

Fun fact; Gas engines are either on or off and when off they lock the bearings, electric engines are always on meaning they’ll run down your batteries even when not in use.

I'm pretty sure the trailer was snaking around because they were connected to the motor. Nice train though :)

"Play like you want to play" - Best way to play scrap mechanic in my honest opinion. I played it blindly for the first couple of hours. Now 90 hours in, and saw a bunch of designs online, it kind of sucked the fun out of it. Discovering new stuff is how it was meant to be played.

[@dogchaser520]

I looked up irrigation, and the systems were incredibly complex. I ended up just using a single water cannon, facing it upwards, putting it on a timer, allowing chance to soak crops. Waters everything in about 30 seconds and took maybe 20 minutes to build

[@Renzo-oj6bt]

If the vacuum pump touches the input, it will automatically send out the specific food even if its mixed along with other foods. Also, I think the vacuum pump will stay activated if you use a switch instead of a button. *I found out that it doesn't work and j0hnbane made an automatic system on his veggie transport video. Time stamp for his vid is **8:30*

[@jimb6117]

Nope it doesn't you still have to click it on and of every pump, button is quicker.

[@Renzo-oj6bt]

@@jimb6117 dang. Thats stupid. :/

[@jannis6841]

The vacuum pump automatically takes the right things when it is close enough to the entrances to the packing station. You can see this when the entrances to the packing station open slightly. To the people who say he is cheating: I don't think he cheated but if it is, it's his game. He can decide how he wants to play the game. Just like with the water system and everything else. It is his game, he can decide how he plays it. If you don't like that you shouldn't watch the videos. My opinion. It's annoying when people want to dictate how someone should play the game.

[@topphatt1312]

Yeah but I honestly think it’s very unlikely that it’s cheating and more a case of grinding and an abundance of crude oil

[@topphatt1312]

Steamy I agree cause if cheating in oil (if that’s even what he’s doing) is making the game more enjoyable by allowing him to actually do fun things for these videos instead of just having to grind for oil all the time. So if it’s making the videos more enjoyable for both him and us then I don’t think we have the right to get angry at him for cheating (this is all a big *if,* I’m not accusing him of cheating).

[@austin4622]

For some reason, my vacuum pump won't automatically go inside the station. I get close to it, the green arrow on the station turns blue and the "door" opens, but it won't take anything out. It's a little annoying

[@MaelstromWrath]

I've heard that you can even crush big bad red boss bot with this method. So, yeah it's pretty OP. Pistons would seem better, but I wonder if they would work.

[@benakam101]

anyone tried it with pistons?

[@Chain83]

@@benakam101 Pistons work great. Used pistons on my farm (one on each side) with a controller (and a switch to turn it on off). I used 1-2 pistons per side to just raise/lower platforms on a loop. Crushes them all. Some durable materials for the edges and first wall layer still recommended as they still get a few hits in before they die.

[@TheTchab]

Same here. Pistons are great ! I use button, I tried with sensors but didn’t work

[@rocksfire4390]

@@TheTchab just use a timer, and gate, and 2 xor gates. this causes a loop which can be toggled by a button. just turn it on and go do something else =/

[@__________________________4781]

Yo chocotaco made a giant crusher that went around 3 walls of his farm and powered it with a single piston. Moonbo was watching his stream and helped here and there

[@AceCrasher24]

not trying to backseat as i don’t know what you know, but a switch makes using the vacuum pump so much easier since you don’t have to know the timings, it just waits a second or so for the pumps flow rate. also, getting closer to the packing station ports will open them up (which i assume tells the vacuum what to pull), you are not close enough which means it will shoot the first item in the chest.

[@KurNorock]

Honestly I just laugh at the fact that I can carry hundreds of fruit in a chest, but then I have to "pack" them into these huge crates that only hold 10 each. Seems back-ass-wards to me.

[@KaneyoriHK]

just make a togglable logic loop so you can just press a switch/ hold down a button to keep pushing out harvested goods into the packing station, logic gates are pretty cheap too, this isn't about automation and just a way so you don't have to press a button a thousand times, don't wanna tire out those fingers

[@Sovereign86]

I definitely want to see you try this on a Big Red!

[@Tullerion]

New drinking game! Take a shot whenever Moonbo says "actually " haha great video as always

[@MrMmva]

There is no wasting crops when packing them. Notice that there are 7 'bars' to be filled but you need to put 10 veggies inside the machine to start te packing. So 3 veggies are put inside the machine without resulting in a bar added on the display. It's not a bug, it's a feature

[@devilwhale]

OMG thank you, made this in a car. A single lvl 2 pistol and wood is all you need. (Switch) farming bots is so much easier now!

[@captainbear6188]

I don't think its the bearings draining the battery. I have a similar problem with the gas engines, when they are shut off the gas still drains out slowly. I think the problem comes from a bug in the code. There is quite a bit that the devs need to work on with this mode. its still a lot of fun.

[@Cyberlong]

i have a suggestion for the watering system, instead of putting the water cannons in a bearing connected to an electric motor that consumes batteries, i think is better use a controller in loop connected directly to the driver saddle, and put the conttroller in a setting that you would like

If the Devs did not rush survival they could have put ten lights on the packager instead of just seven. Lol

The defender mechanism is awesome and the water cannons do not neutralize the hay bots.

[@deltacx1059]

18:56 tell that to the tape bots and harvesters that will come if you plant too much pineapple.

[@Renzo-oj6bt]

Why not add steering left and right for the water turret? :D if you plan to make the farm bigger. Also, if you place the walls horizontally, it will take longer time for farmbots to get to the crops because of the distance, its also cheaper than layers upon layers of walls. But I guess that wouldn't work with the crusher defense. When farming broccoli or pinapple, use fertilizer because it takes 2 days or more for them to grow.

This lucky bastich has cotton growing right near his mechanic station. I had to spend 17 real hours in a search across the map to find cotton. I even found a second mechanic shop, some huge factories with canal systems, and two abandoned cities.. All before I found cotton.

[@dan3a]

That's just some bad luck my dude

[@KurNorock]

@@dan3a Yeah. It really was. I had no bed to put on my vehicle. I got killed by a boss bot on the other side of the map while I was lost and trying to find my way back. And when I say other side of the map, I am talking about 6-8 game days traveling in a straight line with a car. These maps are huge. I had to respawn back at my base with no food, no resources, and a backup car with a scrap engine and a single can of gas. When I finally made it back to where my good car and all my gear was, I had to spend an hour kiting 2 bossbots away from my stuff and into some deep water before I could pick it up. The ONLY bit of luck I had was that getting killed and respawning back at my base allowed me to find my way back once I got my stuff.

If you push the vacuum pump against the receiver at the packing station it automatically takes the right crop. You can see the receiver squish a bit.

[@flyingmunk8956]

You should build a tall tower with a pattern of lights on it so you can see it from a distance at night

[@kennethmiddleton1786]

With that you could use sensors on the piston for complete automated defense.

[@bearing_mayday]

The reason why you “wasted” the tomato there it’s because if you’re not close enough to the opening it will only shoot the first crop in the chest, but if you came closer you should see the entrance opening a bit and then you will know it will only shoot in the right crop

[@brianemmettmartin]

Raids always happen at exactly 24:00. Therefore, the optimal planting time is 24:01. This will give you the maximum grow time before the first raid.

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

Oo what would be a neat change/addition would be that rather than batteries being one use then poof be chargeable, and have it so that you can use them to turn things, or you can turn things to charge them back up, thus you could make raid chargers and water wheels and all sorts of stuff

[@poo2137]

The electric engine is glitched right now where matter what it will keep using batteries it's not a tension thing or something else its just glitched and I'm pretty sure they are working on it right now

You actually don't need an engine for that watering system. Just connect a controller to the driving seat and set up an angle for the bearings on the controller. And you can use W and S to rotate them to aim up and down... with no need of any power whatsoever ;).

[@tst1632]

your defence it's so basic but he have so power just amazing

[@EpsilonRosePersonal]

I'm not sure how I feel about crusher defenses, even without a lift involved. They're overwhelmingly powerful and require little effort or resources, which is a problem if the devs want raids to be a major part of the game. On the other hand, there aren't many other great alternatives, in part because of how resources and both pathing work, especially before you get spud guns. I think the devs need to introduce more bot types, that with more divergent functions than the current set, and give them more complex pathing than just shortest line. Maybe also include some minor terrain manipulation, like digging a moat.

[@nugenplayer2219]

Just wait till big bots and the tape bots start comin in your raid. good luck crushing them!

[@Leekodot15]

If you can get your hands on one, try setting up an AND gate, and have one connection to a button or switch and the other to the power system. Hopefully, while the button isn't pressed the power isn't allowed to interact with the bearings, and therefor won't use power? Unless the AND gate takes a constant supply of power, it's worth a try. If not, maybe use a controller, or try hooking a button to the power, then daisy chain it to the bearings? Or hook the bearings to the seat?

[@banannagar]

I love this game

[@PeterPannekoek1850]

I think you could try a piston and bearings to control ur water aim system. Woudnt hurt to give it a try since batterys are not craftable.
