Auto Welder | Scrap Mechanic Mod

[@ADonutMan]

Bro actually just went and recreated most of the welding logic in lua all by himself! Absolute madlad! This is the top of sm modding right here!

[@neogamer03]

The auto welders being able to be set to coupler mode can really be useful in making creations that need to carry load, great work in developing this mod!

[@leonsak7772]

this is gonna make trucks so much less laggy while being able to disconnect and connect eachother (also this is crazy impressive because of how much work this must have taken)

[@neogamer03]

The auto welders being able to keep the current state of the creation (I.e. extended or such) opens many possibilities, great work for developing this mod!

[@Rigidbody.AddForce]

This is probably the limit for a mob. Well done. The actual developers could implement this much more easily and perfectly, but they never do.

[@alexgarcia4656]

This is awesome. Makes me thing of space engineers merge blocks

[@anteshell]

Every game of this genre should take some notes from Space Engineers.

[@pjamestx]

I've wanted something like this for so long! In my survival world I always park my vehicles by welding off the ground for performance, this is exactly the block I need to do that as I pull up to park instead of having to manually grab my vehicle and weld it. Thank you so much!!!

[@MACHINEBUILDER]

I'd imagine using the auto welder to weld the vehicles to a decently large base would be pretty bad for performance, as the entire creation is respawned. Or I guess you could just have some platforms connected to the ground and weld vehicles to the individual platforms

[@pjamestx]

@MACHINEBUILDER yeah I could probably have an isolated post separate from the rest of my parking platform/garage, good call

[@JoachimVampire]

​@@MACHINEBUILDER the latest update to rhe game isn't trying to solve that?

[@hrishikeshaggrawal]

Bro is going to become a tesla user😂

[@Lord_LindaThePhilosopher]

Finally been waiting for something like this that way you can essentially make robots.

[@placek7125]

This is absolutly incredible. Now what we are missing to build a full on automated factory, is something that places parts and another thing to make connections

[@grantcurtis5200]

well, at least the vacuum pump places blocks, but yes, we very much need a auto connect tool next!

[@murdo8261]

Omg this is so great, I need this in vanilla so bad!

[@hrishikeshaggrawal]

Ive been wanting this for so long! A lot of modders told me it'd be impossible. Docking ports are real now finally!

[@merlinmelon]

That's so useful! And so well done! I'm surprised this only became a thing now

[@grantcurtis5200]

i think... THERE NEED TO BE A SURVIVAL RECIPE AND THIS IS AMAZING, THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR FOR A LONG TIME

[@hrishikeshaggrawal]

This is the best and most thoughtful sm mod demo I've seen.

[@danzenplays]

Thanks, I try. And yet there are so many that ask questions I had already addressed in the video.

[@Breadyboi18]

This is actually the best mod I’ve seen for this game. Will definitely be using it when chapter 2 releases.

[@hrishikeshaggrawal]

15:31, there is a workaround for flickering xor memory as well, one way would be to just use selfwired xor gates or just add an and gate to every bit and activate it with a circuit that detects if the three xors aren't equal, or just activate it everytime a creation respawns with a spawn detection circuit, its just three gates connected to each other in a line(not a loop), and the second and third gates are any not gate. This reliably produces a single tick output upon spawning but if you want a pulse, just put a timer between the not gates. The xor memory is 3 bits long so the formatting And that takes input from xor and outputs to the xor right behind it, needs a three tick pulse input from this spawn detector. Your data is lost but your memory is fixed. With just n+4 more gates where n is number of bits.

[@danzenplays]

Those are very interesting ideas, have you tested them out? The issue isn't really only indeterminate logic states on spawn. When a logic block spawns in, the actual logic gate may reset to an AND gate, and may take a few ticks before becoming the correct gate. This means that any and all logic circuits are susceptible to being "corrupted". It seems to be just Scrap Mechanic jank unfortunately, and I haven't been able to isolate if and when it happens. Spawning from a lift also seems to be a little different than re-spawning a creation the way I did, but that's just my observation. But if your technique works reliably regardless of creation complexity/size, do share it with the community, perhaps as a workshop item, I'll even link to it.

[@Jotrain]

Exactly the kind of mod part I have thought about for to couple train wagons! Thanks so much for your hard work on this-cheers!

[@gbishel]

amazing! if you find problems of bugs, add limitations to it. like weight limit, or use of fuel, or not allow weld if certain blocks are present.

[@racerbest3419]

Amazing. Mods like this drive the game further.

[@ГотаБГ]

This thing need to be added officially! Great job man!

[@youraveragemonster]

This is gonna be great for creations like large hauling trucks and cars with drones

[@ch1kn_tenders]

I'm more impressed with those complex uses for it than the mod itself lol, mind was blown when you fully assembled a cube! Anyways this mod seems super useful, hope its available in survival... Gonna play when chapter 2 or whatever next big update is with friends. Though might be a few years from now who knows

[@I_Krypton_I]

13:30 Btw this can be replaced by flipflop logic block in Fant Mod. It works fine

[@genrystikman9340]

Bro did great job.

[@h2oo00oo]

absolute magic

[@Pricklyscug]

Heck yeah! Merge blocks in Scrap Mechanic!

[@FileTypeJpeg]

this is crazy work dude, been a while since I was really excited for a mod

[@Tuna_the_shark]

i can see so many uses of this mod! like a car factory

[@Amdryl]

Incredible work dude 👍🏼

[@veltarden2419]

Pretty well done and great mod! Besides the limitations is really useful and neat, specially how close you got with that vanilla feel of the block. I like to think that, besides the whole explanation on why the Auto Welder has problems with other components, in game the auto welder sparks and electricity produces short circuits that reset or glitch out any logic gates.

[@danzenplays]

I love your reasoning for logic gates glitching!

[@trainstroyshik1751]

Thank you very much for creating such tech in Scrap Mechanic!

[@wisnoskij]

10:50 So to be clear is a "superficial weld" is it a weld that is simple enough that you dont need to reload the creation to do it, it is NOT just the animation playing but nothing happening? OMG, this is amazing! A huge success! I am surprised that you can so seamlessly delete a creation and reload a new one, transferring users to new seats. This would work in multiplayer with multiple seat users?

[@danzenplays]

A "superficial weld" is just animation at 10:50 because those glass blocks are already part of the same creation body as the auto welder, so a creation respawn is not required. But lets say if you delete the glass block diagonal to the auto welder after the superficial weld, the glass block directly above the auto welder will not become disconnected, unless you turn of the auto welder. I hope this answers your question.

[@I_Krypton_I]

Very cool stuff, thank you. Now you can wish for convenient pylons for missiles and bombs.

[@stralegaming2597]

This will be extremely useful, thanks for uploading this

[@redjacoalk2100]

greatest part in SM ever🎉

[@mr-tiki]

that is epic, and tested properly, that is a well done mod

[@morrisputman8592]

this can be huge! i hope to see more :)

[@DonSeldum]

That's super useful! Amazing!

[@Miz0scales0]

that's actually dope af

[@Art_bor]

I havnet even played sm in a damn long time, but this thing is insane !!, WOW

[@ScottaHemi440]

That's really cool!

[@heiroho4428]

That's genius!

[@techgamerelite4497]

Bro thats AMAZING! Thanks for that, will help so much my creations. And congrats too thats genius work!😉

[@suicidalbanananana]

Cool mod! Please consider if you can add another use case where it can weld two things to eachother without those things needing the auto welder part (so for example weld 2 wood blocks together)

[@danzenplays]

Use multiple auto welders. How did you think the cube assembler works? There are no auto welders on the panels themselves.

[@erikarnold4737]

scrap mechanic meets space engineers

[@CAPITANBERD]

Im glad you made this,but it saddens me that axolot is actively just doing nothing for the past years while we wait (un)patiently for season 2 to drop...before 2100

[@Rocketenginetoaster]

This is what he gets for advertising on the r/scrap mechanic sub Reddit. Pure pessimism

[@Hlebuw3k]

This is so cool

[@iremarian]

Ie buna la remorci zici că-i magnet

[@jcataclisma]

🤩🤩🤩👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@rose_no]

Does it work with the new update?

[@danzenplays]

I've updated it to work with the latest update. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

[@SlimeIsHere]

Can't switches be used as reliable persistent memory? I mean we've seen earlier that their state persists and doesn't bug out, and although a bit clunky you can toggle one with a spud gun. Can somebody test this?

[@smarty265]

holy peak

[@Goldfish_Vender]

You should just be a SM dev.

[@samkerchner6251]

Neat.

[@fizzmechanic]

Super Mod! I have a question, can you update the duplicator mod please, with the new wedges, they don't work with the mirror function and I would need it, the mirror function does anything with the new parts.

[@danzenplays]

Yes I will update it eventually, maybe in a week or so.

[@fizzmechanic]

@@danzenplaysnice, thanks

[@placek7125]

Is it craftable in survival?

[@danzenplays]

The auto welder is in the ModDatabase, hence any custom game modes (such as Modded Craftbot Recipes) that use it should have the recipe.

[@najlitarvan921]

Does this work with survival?

[@danzenplays]

The part is available in custom game modes that use the ModDatabase.

[@shoresy6927]

bro

[@lucasvisser3864]

Neat.
