[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

I just imagine two players in the distance watching an entire building crawl across the desert seeing splitsies rover come into view. "That's gotta be the best damn pirate I've ever seen." "So it would seem..." Side thought. I don't suppose it would be possible to build or find small or large grid grinders? I'm not exactly sure what blocks you can't build but I know it's most of them. Was thinking you could build a grinder pit for dropping wrecks into once you're done picking specific blocks off them.

[@Zarder10]

Grinders can be built! how ever grinder pits tend to fling grids around alot

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

@Zarder10 would it fling the grid around if you had it attached to a secure system? Say a large gantry arm or something that locks onto it at one or multiple points from the top and holds it secure as you lower the grid into the grinders? It wouldn't need huge amounts of stress points for manipulation like a crane arm. I'm just spit ballin. It's been a long time since I played SE, and I'm definitely not sure what the physics are like these days. Could be it's just too complicated or unsafe.

[@roadtrain_]

@@Kodasa_Sinclair IMO safest way to do it is make a hydraulic press style grinder pit. Pit at the bottom, and at the top a 'lid' that pushes down via piston with mag plates. Adjust the maximum length to be JUST above where grinders can reach and voila you have a 'safe' grinder pit... until a friend trolls you and turns it on whilst you're inside doing something. For bonus points: Build glass right across the grinder pit so blocks don't get stuck inbetween grinders.

[@Kodasa_Sinclair]

@roadtrain_ I guess the real question now is would that be viable and worthwhile on a world like this? It'd certainly make rapid scrapping of the wrecks easier, and it would definitely win the rule of cool and fit thematically. I mean it sounds simple enough and splitsie definitely has the construction and script talent to do it.

[@zzzires5045]

I think most suited would be something like a bobcat with 1 large or 3 small grinders inplace of a bucket. As a manually driven vehicle it's more scrappy

In this episode, Splitsie learns (?) why some "work in progress" cars don't have wheels in the US: If it's on blocks, no one's stealing it, it can't roll away. Clang might still flip it anyway for the lulz.

[@diazinth]

I was worried about him not locking it down. Also, it's easier to store the softer componets of the wheel properly, when there's not a car attached ;)

[@MechaMario64]

One of my first real playthroughs when planets were still new-ish was running a chop-shop asteroid station. I'd go and steal NPC cargo ships then cut them up and using a tug move them around and re-merge them together to make new ships. It was so much fun frankenstining everything together and I think I ever stole a station one time. This has been my play style ever since, I rarely go mining I just loot and merge things together to get what I need and its so much fun.

[@hippyhappyhippo]

I've been playing with this mod for a bit and I always grab everything! Small batteries? Chuck them on my rover. Railings and scaffolding? Grab all the small steel tubes that you could ever want! I've been building spare tyres and strapping them to the side of my rover to make sure I have extra wheels when needed, sticking merge blocks all over and even installed an armoury locker so I can loot any guns and ammo without taking up valuable storage space. My inner loot goblin is very satisfied. Oh, and if you ever need to shove something heavy, pick up a block with grabby hands and walk it into the object and you can even move a parked rover. Just like Skyrim and Fallout physics.

[@Splitsie]

lol I wasn't aware of the jankyness of pushing with a block, not sure I'll use it as it'll feel like a bit more cheese than I enjoy, but it's good to know :D

[@Gthornby]

Small battery charging idea. Large grid rotor facing horizontally with small head attached. Spokes on the small head (example 4) at 12,3,6 and 9 o'clock positions with small merge block on. All positioned so the "spoke" facing straight down is level with the ground. Each small battery being attached has also a merge block. This configuration will then allow you to drag small batteries and attach to charge them and then rotate the rotor round (90 degrees in this example perhaps with a button press) to the next spoke to be able to add a 2nd, 3rd 4th. Easier ways to charge batteries but could look cool as a battery charging station.

[@hippyhappyhippo]

Or you could put a small head rotor face up, build out some kind of 'pallet' with blocks and merge block batteries into stacks on the pallet? They'll charge and also look like it's a pallet of inventory.

[@Gthornby]

@@hippyhappyhippo This is why i love space engineers, so many ideas and concepts from different people about how to achieve a certain goal.

[@tylern666]

I just used a connector. LG connector facing up. A SG connector on top and then made a small platform on it. Used to store extra components. And connect tanks and h2/o2 gens to make hydrogen or consolatdate hydrogen in tanks till I get enough stuff to cobble a ship together for space. Works great for extra battery charging and a survival kit for my base

I found this channel, and ZM as a group through survival (and escape) unlikely, i still adore that series and i remember being genuinely emotional after its end, was a good run xP and after all this time its crazy to me how you still manage to find interesting ways to make space engineers interesting and unique for each series. Normally i'd be burnt out of watching the game by now, but since each series throws this nice curveball at you, it still makes it interesting, and i think thats something you do really well, better than anyone i have personally seen so far, keep it up ♥

[@Splitsie]

Lol thanks 🙂

[@ils_8088]

I dont know if someone wrote it already or if you know but im gonna write it anyway. To perfectly hack a large grid battery you need a tier one grinder (the one with the one thingy upgrade sign). Than you just grind the steelplates away so that you have all twenty construction components in it (you have to fill them back up). you should now grind 5 construction components per tick. The tick for the last 5 construction components will grind all the computers perfectly away without losing a cingle cell. I hope this is understandable as one can see english is not my motherlanguage😅. Anyway love the series and thank you for making it! ps: i just randomely got it right while playing your scenario. Its a lot of fun!

[@adamjenkins7653]

Can't he just fill his inventory? you can lower the hack bar, but not remove anything?

[@ils_8088]

you have to get to the exact percentage otherwise you will still destroy the cells (i think) so the way i described you should get to this percentage@@adamjenkins7653

[@Splitsie]

Ah, interesting. I hadn't thought of trying with a higher tier grinder in order to get the rate of grinding just right :)

[@KaedysKor]

@@adamjenkins7653 IIRC, he tried that, it still burns out components that grind to scrap, even if your inventory is full and higher components are still in it as a result.

the latter half of this video has given me a really cool mobile base idea where you have an unpowered large grid trailer with machines etc and then a crane/truck similar to the butterball

[@magnagazoo4863]

your crane is closer to what is called a "deck crane" which is a crane with a flat deck usually in the forward position. So the crane can set what it picks up on the deck and safely travel with it. A common use of these is to maintain heavy equipment, industrial maintenance, construction.

[@thomaspitts5709]

Loved the vid. Feel like you're going to construct a massive complex of scrap buildings and vehicles turned buildings. Almost like a Junkyard/Scrapyard Town. One thing I think would be fun is if you construct some trailers for people to use for scrap or as power connections to your base. You could even construct a public building with a bulletin board, like those from a fantasy manga/anime adventurer's guild, for components people could ask for or what they have available for trade with others. It would be fun.

[@JUNIsLuke]

That marauder truck is awesome!! Well done to the creator

[@BoredBob]

Just started playing Scrapyard. Love it. The building you put wheels on and took home with the grease pit in it was right near my spawn and became my first base. I cut a hole in the roof and put in a piston and mag plate and now I have a lift that reaches down and picks up my rover to get under it even better inside under cover.

[@Splitsie]

Ah nice :)

[@Triaxx2]

Suggestion: Maybe a power pack of 3 Small grid small batteries, and then a small connector for the fourth block. That way you've got a bunch of juice, an easy way to recharge it and only have to build the small connector on most of the SG vehicles you find. Plus it's small enough you can tuck it into the scrapper rover and have everything you need to power up whatever you locate.

[@Splitsie]

Yeah that's a good idea :)

[@TomPrickVixen]

8:48 I met with the same turret setup, it was dud as well. Turned out (after hacking it) that the azimuth rotor wasn't set at all, so it could not track anything. I made a "hooklift" recovery vehicle out of one of the long 6x6 flatbeds i found, it had some "teething" issues at 1st, but turned out to be surprisingly useful, carrying whole wrecks back to my hangar!

[@Splitsie]

The turrets in the mod are intentionally a bit terrible, with some working better than others. With how much work it is to build up, I didn't want to make nasty surprises that could completely wipe people's progress, just enough to give them a jumpscare a few times :D

[@sennix7148]

My first play thru of Scrapyard, I build a proper junk yard. Guess I hit an SE object limit, because after picking up another wreck and flying back to my base, about half of my wrecks were gone. All the wrecks that did not have a power source (battery or solar panel) disappeared. Now I use a mag plate to lock everything down or I merge block them to something that has a power source. Guess I’m addicted, once I saw you were doing this series, I had to do my fourth play thru, all three planet starts and a second earth like. Thanks Splitsie!

[@hippyhappyhippo]

It sounds like you've got trash clean-up still active.

[@Splitsie]

[@adamjenkins7653]

An idea for your pallets, and a way to charge small batteries. 5x5 grid small blocks, about 2 blocks high. Underside can just be a row at the front and back for your forklift to grab, and you can merge block as needed. for merging or locking to a grid you can just have some floor panels and an associated light for working out what does what, or use the button panel for blocks of 4. For things that want power, you can add small connectors to the back to connect to the base, or if you wanna be real fancy, have a small grid storage system using connectors to lift and store special pallets on the one wall (no need to make it too big, just a row with a lift and place piston array) that way you can store a few H2 engines, and drain/fill H2 tanks whilst charging up a few battery pallets ready for trade.

[@comradesoupbeans4437]

really want to see a grinder pit at some point in this series to demolish the wrecks you've hauled home and picked off all the good bits already. Just pick them up with the crane and toss them in and have the plates etc just get shoved in your big cargos. Maybe start trading bulk components if you get too much

you could also start trading power to people or offering it for free to encourage people trading at your base. it'd be especially neat to see some kind of a AAA type service where you help get people's vehicles unstuck / repowered

When I found one, I made a GPS Mark there and flew back home to bring my Transporter to that Point. As "Landing Gears" I only used normal Steel Blocks, and made Landing forks like on a real helicopter. Sure, you have to connect them with Magnet Plates, if you like to take it with you on a Mobile Base, but mostly you can let it stand around and it won't get in motion on it's own... at least not if you deactivate the Atmo Engines and set the Batterys on Recharge if not needed. ^^

What did we learn ? Always maglock movable grids to the ground ! 😂

[@MrLogic85]

You should add some Hydraulics Crane Support to get some stability. Or maybe some ballast (batteries?) on a piston in order to create a counter weight that you can push out when lifting.

Too bad we did not get to see that flip. Oh and i tried out that idea with a box on the rover to put small stuff in. It worked astonishingly well. So far nothing has even taken damage. Though that is in single player so no clue if it works as well on the server.

Great series. Would love to see more of this. Good job sir

[@Splitsie]

Thanks :)

[@tanaraysmith4137]

An outrigger on your crane may have helped you lift that building without tiping making it easier to build the wheels

[@MarkSeve]

Absolutely loving the series.

[@speshia8494]

It's pretty awesome to see how people's designs have been made. They all look pretty unique, and far more complex than the pickup truck I found in my solo run and fixed up (Doubt they can go 120m/s across the dunes though)

[@Splitsie]

I do find it fun seeing the different ways people approach the same sorts of problems, there's a lot less convergence than you might expect :D

[@LilythathappenstobeinaValley]

yaaaaaaaaay new vid! I found u through dis series and im gonna stick with it till the end!! :333

[@illuminations_of_sorrow2672]

I'd like to see a scrap survival like this on Argus with the water mod. Building boats to raid the coastline, capturing abandoned boats and dragging them ashore to build a better boat or amphibian vehicle . It'd be a lot of work to put it together, even for solo play, but it would give a little of that space feeling before making it into space properly.

[@Splitsie]

If I ever do a series with the water mod, I think there's a high chance I'll have made a scrapyard mod to use for it as I think having to make cranes work in that environment will be a lot of fun :)

[@harbinger4]

1:05:38 the ol’ Gavel maneuver I see 😂 Also don’t forget to put a light on the end of your crane.

Klang "He tempts me, he tempts me" "I shall evenge myself, cause he tempts me"

"as you can see from the footage your honor, the grid was wearing a very short skirt, and wasn't attached to anything" (not to condone any behaviour, rather to point out the absurdity)

[@atakanmercan]

Don't know if anybody said it but compass shows the direction your vehicle is facing when you are in the vehicle, Even if you look at the blink it still shows it as such.

[@GeeWillikaz]

I stumbled on your channel. Never played the game, but I'm loving it. Loving the series.. You sir have a new subscriber!

[@v-alfred]

That's ridiculous towing the whole warehouse, I liked it so much!

[@Splitsie]

lol Thanks :D

[@12jojimbo]

There's a business off the highway near me that advertises by having a truck just sitting on a really tall pole. I think that could be a good signpost for your base.

[@danilolarzonei]

Very good episode. I love all the vehicles and loot level in this episode. Specially that Chinook helicopter. Would be awesome with 6 o 4 wheels (not too big), attached to the side pontoons. Just an idea. I'm excited for the next ep. Great job, Splitsie!

[@Splitsie]

The chinook is an incredibly cool build - can't wait to make it into a funny little toy helicopter/rover thing :D

[@DS-gg1dr]

Is it just me or does anyone else have the intro music remind them of Firefly for some reason lol Also, got say, listening to you basically giggling your way home with the building was hysterical and a great way to start a Sunday. Thank you, I needed that.

[@Splitsie]

That's very much the vibe I was going for with the soundtrack for this series. Western yet sci fi :)

[@tommymartin364]

I forget how many thrusters I had to grind down to build my large storage. But it's a game changer

[@xKiNx]

That area for under-vehicle work is typically called an Inspection Pit.
