@@nikkiofthevalley oooooh tapebots, I misread that as the totebot I was talking... To answer your question, I don't think they spawn in raids, at least I haven't saw one in a raid before. But there's still the normal tapebots, so be careful. And in case the red tapebots really spawn in raids, you go to steam and press the uninstall button, problem fixed

I've been using it to make warehouse raids super easy, slow, but easy.

[@johnlynne2291]

I think he should do a bit wars with Kan, John, and Moonbo where they have some sort of money (potato’s, carrots, beats, ect.) where they can use that to buy bots like a tote bot is 1 carrot and have like 5 mins to get some “money” and then they get together and fight then they repeat and see who won more battles

I was thinking about the new bot-swarmer called the cable cutters, the word that got me thinking was cable. Could we use cables to remotely control creations? That would make defending against the red totebot a lot easier.

[@softpaw6234]

Uhh you can already do that with the connection tool and spud/sensor wires (not sure of the official terminology but scrapman used them to de-lag his base) Also the big guy is call Big Red

[@clockwork9366]

@@softpaw6234 one, while I think the spud sensor is cool, it's hard to make a fully operational robot with it, and Im 90% sure that the big red is the strange looking farmbot. What I trying to get with the cable is that it can transfer power and inputs. allowing for the seat to be say in your base, while the machine is outside, connected via the cable.

[@softpaw6234]

@@clockwork9366 you can do that with the connection tool as long as you keep everything connected to your base, and you can make a pipe rope for flexibility

Pipes cannot extend, but cables if they have a spool, can.

[@stateofheshgames500]

dunno if you're old enough to remember them mr.scrap, but back in the day you could get pop guns that'd have a red tape with little bubbles that'd explode when pressurized by the trigger pull; they always came rolled up. i have a feeling that was some inspiration for the red explosive tape, but this is just speculation and my own opinion. keep up the good content.

Scrapman: They have 75% accuracy Mandjtv quotes: "If its not 100% accurate its 50% accurate"

[@Daniel_45]

Do a multiplayer monday where you make an army of bots, position them tactically and battle with each player. You could have a "price" for each bot, and a set amount of "money" per player. For example greenies could "cost" 1$, haybots 3$, tapebots 10$, farmbots 40$, explosive tapebots 40$ and have about 100$ per army. I think it will be a very fun MM. Think about it.

[@gerrard1144]

heres an idea for multiplayer monday: a bot war where each team must make the best strategy to win, to win you have to be the last one standing

[@harishrajnish7207]

You guys should do strategy Multiplayer Monday in creative where you guys get limited amount bots from the starting and fight in a designated battlefield with spud guns already set up (like turrets) in a castle siege or tower defense (it's your pick) but both teams will have an army (bots army) at there disposal, like if you guys want him to do it. Ask if anyone needs a more detailed explanation of how this works.

[@OilyChunk6]

Dev: add bot capsule for people to try to build resistive creation against them Players: make bots battle with elaborated strategies

[@hyperzetton5822]

multiplayer Monday but its bot wars where the bots cost points and you can only use a certain amount of points that go up each round. After each round you can add on more bots with the extra points and change your formation. You can't change you formation mid battle or just before the battle starts, It has to be in the building time which is 7~10 minutes.

[@TheRobeRanger]

Tip:If you use a flat world, then you will get way less lag with way more bots, I know this from experience.

[@xiChann]

I think you should do a multiplayer Bot Battle, like Totally Accurate Bot Battles. Also make sure to build obstacles. Everyone gets 25* The Tote is 1* The Hay is 2* The Tape is 4* The Explosive is 5* The Farm is 10*

[@Scrappy412]

[@eternalsponge8330]

7:24 I think everyone including scrapman thought the greenies had won lol

[@flashlp3001]

Day16 of asking scrapman to do:We searched for *"Suggestions"* on the workshop. When you start the next chapter try to get kan, kosmo or moonbo in multiplayer survival mode in scrap mechanic...

[@titusflanery3718]

I thinking have a gamemode for multiplayer monday. The game mode is that you have a currency (crops, blocks, etc.) And you can buy a bot. For instance, the greenie can be 10 potatoes and the farm bot will be 80 or something like that. You can set it in 1v1 tournaments or 2v2s, whatever you want.

[@echlorianbysheler5901]

This is very entertaining

[@TheRealFlavuh]

I think the reason that the other bots aren't affected by fall damage and the Farmbots are affected by it is because the lighter you are, the slower you fall, and the smaller bot types have less weight meaning they are being pulled down by gravity much slower whereas the Farmbot is huge causing it to be pulled down by gravity much quicker, making much more of an impact on itself.

[@suzooz3723]

you guys should do a multiplayer monday called the bots olympics where you guys each develop a strategy either building vicheals or just formation

[@zachtalongamesyt9981]

Multiplayer Monday idea: Bot Wars! 1v1(or 2v2 if you have 4 players) battles. Each player (or team) spawns an army of bots, in whatever formation they want, and paints them. You must be able to fit them all in an area of a certain dimensions (yall choose those, I dont know the dimensions of the spawners cause I dont play the game myself). These spawn areas are positioned such that there is a battlefield of the exact same dimensions between them. For an extra challenge, play in a map that has uneven terrain. Each player starts with 30 points. Totebots cost 1 point, haybots cost 3 points, tape bots cost 5 points, and farm bots cost 10 points. No explosive tape bots. If you are doing 2v2, you can spawn 1 woc per person to distract the bots, but remember this may distract your own units as well. You do not have to use all your points if you do not want to. Play it tournament-style, mix who goes against who each battle (mix up the teams if 2v2). 1 point for a win, player with the most wins after everyone has fought wins the round. Play 3 or 5 rounds, your choice. Each round, everyone gets 5 more spawn points than the previous round. The winner of a round gets an additional 5 more points for the next round. The player with the most overall wins at the end of the game wins.

[@kontakt4321]

I want to see more of the same ratios being tried multiple times. Like once you've honed in on the ratio where it seems close (5 hay bots) run a few at that ratio. It's fun to watch and interesting data.

[@longhornboi16]

Totally accurate battle simulator: Scrap Mechanic edition

[@itgelmunhboldbat1671]

true

[@PISSIndustries]

What if you did a bot wars, but you have a certain amount of points to buy each bot. Say you have 15 points, a tote bot is worth 2, a haybot is worth 5, a tape bot is worth 8, and the big red one us worth 10.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

Güd suggestion

[@thorvo9287]

MM IDEAS: -Tower defense with aggroall on a certain player and the rest try to defend the aggro player in their own made defenses -Home defense: each player makes a fort and the player stands in it with aggroall and see how fast a certain army of bots will get to you. This can be expanded by using traps to defend yourself. -something like totally accurate battle simulator: each player makes an army and faces the army of different players and see who made the best army. You can play around with different (imaginary) values for each bot. f.e. green bots are 1 point, scrap bots are 3, tape bot is 2, red tape bot is 4 and big guy is 8. and each round there will be a certain value limit for the army. This can be further expanded by not lining them up on 1 line but trying different formations etc... -'Zombie' survival game. players make cars, tanks,... and get aggroall on them and try to stay alive (keep moving, if a player can't move with his vehicule he is 'dead') as long as possible, the other players keep spawning bots until the survivor is dead. -air, water and land in 1 race, as the name suggests: a vehicle that can do all. Can of course be altered and for example only do land and water: an amphibian car.

[@tyleratomic]

You should make a build and destroy type game, Like if Kan made a farm bot army to go against your base filled with farm bots or protecting it and see who wins.

[@WynterLegend]

Dude, Multiplayer Monday: Robot Rampage Race At parts of the race, bots are released ahead of the trigger, so you have to fight your way through if you're in the lead. Final one has a quartet of Red Tapebots on terrain-made towers (so they don't target their towers) and a pair of Farmbots dropped into the road.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

3:58 MOM!!! Scrapmans cow tipping

[@steeljawX]

Scrapman, you went on about battlefield tactics like it only applies to ranged warfare.... 4 totebots can take out a haybot if you have the 4 surround the 1 because a haybot has 2 attacks; a sweep for "normal" damage and a thrust for "higher" damage. If it thrusts through 2 or more totebots, it gets the advantage as it'll probably end up killing them. So when you pit 20 vs 7 and have them mash head on, you're giving the battlefield neutrality advantage to the haybots. Every bot has the disadvantage of having a limited attack range, be it a a single direction or 20 degrees to 160 degrees-ish in front of them or the red tape bots stupid blast radius, so having multiple attacks coming in from all angles ends a bot faster than having all the attacks coming in at its own angle of attack.

[@nikore90]

Floor and the pillars are getting in the way of the bots. You should attach the capsules to ceiling instead and only have one pillar.

[@thenerd4751]

An arena that releases bots in waves and you have time beforehand in the arena to prepare from scratch. There would be trees, rocks, some water, and some other somewhat farmable natural resources, then you have to survive either as long as you can on your own or you have to clear the whole thing together I believe this would need health integration into creative though but I hope you keep this in mind in case they do!

Scrapman SCIENCE WITH BOTS

[@mr_db9851]

25:00 I wanted to explain that... So when they attack and out number at least by 3 they will win that happens because some se other targets and want to destroy then and the see others... I have played this and tested it.. small out number an done *but* if all the enemy team will attack one dude (u can do that by placing one in frontier) then all of the enemy team will target him and the rest of team will be able to attack them without getting attacked so they will win... 27:00 So the ones that spawn first will not be in loading state and u cant know who will win it randomly if u release at the same just the first *RANDOM* (The side where u press button will spawn faster by only around 1 tick after in other side..) (Still nice content and I like ur videos keep going... Hope to see u with 10mil subs in next year or at least 10 years... Bye for now!)

[@MrRiuzakie]

Hey Scrapman, I think the lag spike when breaking the capsules is from the capsule itself flying off before disappearing.

[@GreenAppelPie]

Throwing rolls tape seems so random, well unless you work in your pack/shipping

[@hearforthemusic9814]

this is more for a multiplayer Monday, but a defend the block could be fun. each person makes a car that has a destructible block that a tape bot could hurt, and the try to defend it for as long as possible. anything like this could be fun.

[@tech_r6665]

Multiplayer monday suggestion: have bots placed throughout a course and see who can drive down it the furthest
