5 Experiments to TEST the NEW Physics Update! (Scrap Mechanic)

[@concur9248]

This update was so needed. The devs seriously need to work on communication. Even though an update is gonna take a long time they need to keep the community engaged.

[@ReluxStudios]

They most likely got to into revamping the entire physics system that would take 4 years.

[@concur9248]

@@ReluxStudios cool and all but they need to keep us updated on what they're doing so that they'll have a stronger connection with their community.

Great video, I hope your leg gets better soon. A good antiseptic wound cream should help with the itching.

3:45 well, the physics changes that the technical community was complaining about were across the board, not just on the smart physics. But it was just a bug, and they already fixed it, so no problems anymore. And it was actually pretty bad btw, even something simple like a medium weight maxed out electric engine car would be barely drivable, it was impossible to fly any faster than 300 kmph consistently, and anything faster would be pushed toward a 45-degree angle on the world grid. Even a casual player would undoubtedly be bothered by it at some point if they didn't fix it. Edit: Oh, and yeah, now that the bug is fixed, I love it, and most of the technical community love it. I can understand that some people want chapter 2, but this was literally exactly what a lot of us were asking for, and the amount of improvement they were able to make without breaking (almost) any old creations is actually awesome.

[@AggroPhene]

The shades are awesome. Thanks for showing those.

[@LoPhatKao]

ok, the truck full of loose bits is a heck of a demonstration haven't seen anyone go to a survival world and mine a resource node down to loose rods - that always lagged like mad

[@LordSethrik]

Good point, I'm gunna test this when I get home from Florida

[@rationalcommentor]

KosmoCam isn't expected but great to have

[@LordSethrik]

Lol at the Shady dig at Milton... Always happy to see people actually testing the content 😅

[@ShawnF6FHellcat]

I have too much to say, and that's not even the half of it, lol😅 I've been playing Scrap Mechanic since about a year after it became publicly available, and I have just shy of 2000 hours in it; watching everyone's videos gave me chills and made my day! I have noticed that everyone seems to be having weird experiences with the update: My game took far longer to open and it took a couple minutes to load an existing world, but only the first time; ScrapMan's had weird delays for the Smart physics to kick in after switching from Advanced; kAN's (at least from his video POVs) seemed to run perfectly; and now your game seems to have the Smart physics working a little less effectively. It's all very strange... I wonder if any of the weird wobbly physics in Survival mode have changed... I went into a warehouse to see the fps improvements, and let me just say that 32-45fps going up to a solid 60 (limit) was quite reassuring! I find it interesting that the two main KZbin friend groups I watch both had corruption issues this last week... I have a form of arthritis in my lower back as well as a ~1ft vertical scar next to it on the right. When they flare up, the underside of my right leg feels like I'm constantly hyperextending my hamstring... thankfully it doesn't itch like yours does, but it can hurt enough to keep me from walking or standing... I bet it's this weather pattern going through the continent that's causing both of our flareups.

[@toddabbott781]

One thing I hope they fix is doors getting stuck. I like doing a nomad build in the campaign and I would have to have a sacrificial block next to the door because for some reason deleting a block would instantly fix a stuck door.

[@anteshell]

1:12 You had a little freudian slip there, Kosmo. ;Dd

[@0megaming]

I tried it too with my 6x6 crawler truck (online in the workshop, tagged with a for Kosmo note in the name) and a copy of it, so i tried to go with one of them on top of the other and went down to 13-16 frames, then switched to the old physics and it went down to 2-3fps, so it is a huge improvement ^^ Also remember, when you want the new physics in a survival-world, the devs pointed out, that you need a new world to not risk lagging out the map.

[@acgaming007]

multiplayer mondays are gonna be great with this, also hope your leg gets better soon

[@TheMostUt]

Rumors I've heard are that SM engine is hand built by the devs, themselves. They were almost ready to ship CH2 when they realized that the physics engine wasn't up to snuff for what they wanted, soooooo..... they decided to totally rebuilt the engine. Or some such thing.

[@IceSki117]

For Scrapman its the Wedges update. You have the most explosive test I have seen though.

[@greybeard5123]

Chapter 2 doesn't appear to advance the story. The Survival tutorial implies that eventually we have to build a new ship and leave the planet. I like Crashlander and the Raft-like mods that used the Survival mechanics and added goals and a story. I don't see stories like that in Survival and it doesn't appear they will be in Chapter 2 either. In the meantime, this mod addresses the issues the people playing it now are having. This should help with Multiplayer Mondays and other videos you guys make. So this is a major improvement in how people are using the game, in ways that Chapter 2 won't be.

[@alliejasmine]

I haven't played Scrap Mechanic, but I do watch you, Scrapman and Kan's videos on it. What I've taken away from getting this Physics Update before Chapter 2 is that this update is absolutely required. Which means Chapter 2 is going to be crazy

[@jacksonstarky8288]

I think the new physics will make Spleef a lot better. Looking forward to the next Multiplayer Monday.

[@johncage5368]

Nice loose objects tests. I especially like the one with the dump truck full of loose objects running into a wall. I hope the devs put more time into fixing stuff. There's still a lot of physics issues. And if they want to add features the top prio should be: Add Undo! Just (un)do it!

[@maskharat]

So for me it's like this: I wanted to buy SM, but since there weren't any meaningful updates in the last years I decided to not buy into it. Bringing in a full physics overhaul is the sign I needed to get the game. A physics overhaul isn't a 'visible' update, but it's the foundation. That can take an enormous amount of time and you never know when you'll find in front of a major roadblock that needs you to completely rewrite underlying structures. So I also understand the low profile from the devs here. You tell people "4 weeks" and 3 weeks later you find yourself with an issue that will take another 5 months. Depending on your team size, that's a herculean task, so I'm not even mad that they didn't have the best communication. Well, with this the structural parts outta the way, they should be able to vomit out visible content soonish. New parts and maps are fast and easy in comparison.

[@MadMikael]

It's like you said Kosmo, just looking at those new physics work makes me smile :D

[@AgentWest]

Unfortunate that wedges are not in Survival, though looking forward to your shenanigans with the new multiplayer. As a side note, Q to rotate what direction the wedge is scaled, can be changed as you're scaling it. Makes it way easier to get them to the right size.

[@darealkosmo]

@@AgentWest figured that one out the hard way! so handy though!

[@halconnen]

I've never felt so insulted about wedges ;) also sand wedge made me hungry

@@Nevir202 well, simply put, I yawned while watching the video, he made me laugh at something, and my ears went all weird like I was underwater or something and it stayed like that for over an hour haha.

@@DETHdressedInRED Ah, you either pressurized, or perhaps drew a little vacuum in your inner ear. I get that so often that I've developed my ability to re-equalize it, just by lowering my jaw with my mouth closed and breathing through my nose.

The jury has deliberated and delivered a guilty of having fun verdict. The court sentences you to a life of Multiplayer Mondays with the new updates 😂😂😂

[@Dragoneer17]

I love Scrapmechanic, of course I watched every video on every channel about the new update

[@jtocool]

What video format are your recording in? Most require a closer when finished recording, so if the record gets interrupted or the computer lags out, the file can be corrupted. There are other video formats that do not need a closer and can be played as is even if your computer crashes during record. Look at MKV for your recording, the files will be bigger, but you won't lose footage. After you are done recording, you can use a program like Handbreak to transcode into whatever format you want and delete the MKV to save space.

[@mkDaniel]

On smart they struggle with themselves more. A ufo with 100 tom reaction wheel running at 1k RPM clashes with the creation trice as often And even just moves out of the creation sometimes.

[@ScottaHemi440]

I'm loving this new update! you should go revisit your old survival world and see if it's better! mine was.

[@garand70]

Massive improvements. This might make tractor trailer builds feasible. I tried one once in survival mode but the frame drops, even on a computer built to be overkill for Scrap Mechanic, was too great.

[@LordSethrik]

Tractor trailers work great now, just make a trailer hitch out of pipes so scrap mechanic sees it as 2 separate creations

[@garand70]

​@@LordSethrikI had built a tilting fifth wheel that used a piston to push a block to lock in the kingpin. The kingpin was made of a pipe and a stop sign, which was also on a free bearing for extra friction reduction.

[@malcolmmackenzie9202]

I would love to see you and kAN do another survival playthrough on here now it got a update. I think it would be awesome especially with less lag

could be fun to see a test of how it handle a tall building fire from modpack beta now.

[@TheLostWorld-i8j]

You should use your face cam in MM videos. It’s part of the reason I used to watch ScrapMan over Kan before you guys did different videos per channel.

[@foamyesque]

God I wish these wedges were available in survival

[@lillappy7520]

The update makes a interesting issue, oddly enough, they decided to lower the physics strength which brings bugs to creations that aren't meant to have that issue (like as if you lowered the physics quality)

[@Vessekx]

I feel like there’s a Multi-Player Monday challenge built into painting bots to have them change teams…

[@Dreamxbreaker]

Does survival have Simple 8, Advanced, Smart, physics? Or just no updates? I haven’t touched survival since I lost 2 years of progress, but since there is a new physics update do you think there could be a console release alongside chapter 2?

[@Naomi_Boyd]

Survival got the update too. You have to manually set it to smart on existing worlds, but on a new world, that's the default.

[@LoPhatKao]

wedges aren't native to survival yet, but there's mods to add them

Is the nuke less laggy now?

[@delavanty]

You probably already watched scrapmans video but he discovered a weird bug with the physics that he couldn't exactly replicate

[@steeljawX]

To be clear, I'm not digging at the man at all. I understand he's a great guy with a lot of .....character....sure, but this is not me insulting him in anyway, shape, or form. Kosmo, the only thing missing from this reshoot video of you reacting to something you've already recorded once is one of Dapper's Cheese tracks. So when kAN uses his Truck, does he call it Shun? You know, it's kAN's Truck Shun. You can go and place blocks under kAN's Truck Shun.

[@gamerofiguassu]

Day 4 of asking Kosmo to play my new Among Us Hide and Seek map!

[@nekowknight]

They need to stop trying to 1.0 the game in one shot they put the game into early access so small updates would be more appreciated than 1 big one. Otherwise they should have just waited to release the game. Hopefully now that they got most of the physics done we can actually see better communication
