Unfortunately I'll be using the /unlimited command to continue this survival world due to the major loss in progress! But that means I'll be able to add anything we want! Let me know what you want to see in this Survival World! Once complete, we'll move into the new Mobile Survival Base Series!

@@dre4dfulsaiyan265 I think you may be a little stupid no offense but it's not fair to assume someone died if they haven't been online for more than a year or 2

Hey can you make the hopper from scrapman’s ydib series episode 6 it’s the third drawing. Physics work differently in surgical and I wanted to see what you need for one and if it’s Efficient for transport

[@VMBuilds]

Moonbo, first off all: I love your videos, keep up the good work! Now, im a little confused... You say you lost your latest savefile of survival and had to upload an older savefile. How is it then that your base is still at the same progress from your last base building video a few weeks back? 🤔

[@journeyoframa2631]

Moonbo, do you ever consider to start new survival world play it in co op with someone, that will be a great series. love your video.👍👍👍

[@jasonfrederickk1813]

Play with ScrapMan

[@synbiosblade]

Try setting the pistons to be on a cycle instead of being down when triggered this way they dont just stay down when the mobs or pieces are in the way.

[@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi6655]

Turn the sensors down to 4 and get rid of the corners. Also, does glass or armored glass trigger sensors? If not, fill the gaps with it, or put a layer on the bottom of the hammers. But either way the sensors need to have less distance.

[@ADonutMan]

Build a giant crane in the middle of the farm that will lower and drag resourse collector alond the ground around the farm!

[@creatingtoomuch_yt20]

you should add saw blades to the more vulnerable parts of the wall so the haybots dont attack that part

[@Draug0]

There are codes to save and load blueprints in survival. /export and / import , being whatever you want to call the blueprint. You look at the creation you want to export or look at the ground where you want to import it. Unfortunately it doesn't spawn in on the lift, so sometimes it will spawn way off somewhere, depending on how much room you have to spawn in the blueprint. You can find the blueprints in the LocalBlueprints folder in the Survival folder.

[@79_protons]

Nice video. Maybe you could connect the sensors the controlers that would make the pistons extend and contract and extend... in a loop. This way they will (almost) never get stuck.

[@staticsmack]

Put the sensors in the hammers and turn sensitivity low enough to not pick up loot. Then put resource collectors along inside to remove loot. Also with sensors in hammers, you can fill in the gaps making for more hammer coverage. This will solve the problem of the hammers staying down with loot and fix corners as well.

[@justbbricks]

Mobile survival base sounds like a crazy idea, when that comes around I will certainly be watching it. Now that you get unlimited spuds, maybe you could build a practice shooting range?

[@JosephXavierGarza]

Watch scrap man for nomad survival

[@secawesome8543]

put resource collectors underground feeding refineries then it will automatically refine and clear out all the debris from the raid

[@toastycarpet9873]

Imagine instead of just blocks of metal using resource collectors for the actual hammer part

[@wickedfast2166]

This plus a refinery drone car to collect said metal

[@gaalidas4836]

I feel like it would work better if the sensor activated a timer to make the hammers rise and fall rapidly. That way it has a chance to hit the target multiple times.

[@steeljawX]

Talking to past Moonbo from the future: Yes haybots can hit that far in. They have a max range of 3 blocks with their lunging stab. Farmbots have a default range of about 3-4 with every swing of their scythe and they spread that for about 4-10 blocks across. Something you should try is rather than crushing, which is useful for the smaller guys, is fast penetrating shots (dirty and immature minds are welcome to leave now.) If you triple stack a max level piston and put a tier 3 metal block on the end and fire that out as fast as you can, if it hits and actually ends up dealing a hit (because sometimes it ends up pushing the bots instead of hitting them) then it's usually going fast enough to deal a significant amount of damage. Add some tier 3 concrete behind that tier 3 metal spearhead and you've added a bit of weight to it and it should deal some hefty damage. I built something like that in creative and when it would actually hit the Farm Bots, it seemed like it would penetrate thought them and about 60%-70% of the hits would be 1 shots. Considering that the Farm Bots end up exploding on their deaths, I think that's an idea worth exploring. The Hammers might kill them, but they'll leave them at your doorstep. But I'd suggest extending your ramparts out to make room for resource collectors on pistons that can swoop down to just low enough to collect the limbs as they fly about. You could also add in a vacuum pump system to suck in all the component kits and circuit boards that get dumped everywhere since they are now pickupable with vacuum pumps.

[@dasbratkeks3092]

Make a slot in the upper wall from the outside and put a block on the hammer and attach a resource collector on it. So if a hammer goes down, it will collect everything up.

[@oxibound5945]

Use repetitive logic system for the hammer to crush down and not get stuck. You know when the sensor is triggered, it will make an up and down movement. So it won't get stuck.

[@TheAwesomeAlfonso]

Cool Moonbo

[@rupertlongfellow1388]

You can save blueprints in survival (dev mode only) by putting your target reticle on it and typing /export (creation name). Spawn a copy with /import (creation name)

[@ImR4du]

You could use /export and /import

[@malhardeadshot6118]

Put the sensors at the top pointing downwards, so that the scrap metal is not detected by setting their range 3 to 4 blocks above the ground

[@NewtIsMeName]

The pistons should be on a repeating circuit instead, so the bot pieces don't stop them from working. All pistons could come down at the same time or they could go down in a wave pattern.

[@captainsnekk]

I reccomend making the wall thicker

[@captainsnekk]

With tier 3 metal

[@whatchamac4llit464]

13:55 when in doubt, put a saw blade down.

[@gabriellara6060]

u could use a colector like a hammer to solve the problem with the legs

[@joeulrich2327]

You should put a timer on them that way they can fully retract so no bots get stuck

[@BrianJ1962]

You could solve the limb issue by installing some collectors inside near the walls? Not sure how you'd solve the tote bot head, though :-/

[@WoodrosWorld]

I legit just made platforms out of tier 3 metal and chain link with a rail, so they can't climb on top while the platform is down. 2 pistons per platform, controlled by a controller. Stage 1 qt 15, on loop... I never had any issues at all.. at which point, you could nearly flush mount the design, so that you don't have a 3 story section just for these hammer heads.. if part of the issue is that you want it automatic start and stop, you could create a 24min timer and trigger it to start at 2300 and turn off at 400..

[@TheDartFrog]

MOONBO UPLOAD YESSSSSSS

[@bakupcpu]

I sure know that feeling. Well at least you didn't lose everything but still seeing all that progress just vanish is sad. Cheers!!

[@savidherb6589]

I have two ideas that you can try since you have unlimited resourses now. I have two farms. One is a 24 by 25 plot auto farm thats surrounded by about 300 or more warehouse keys for raids 6 or below (I had to get 150 low friction blocks from the warehouse). The second one is on a desert mountain that raid proof, it takes no damage from any of the four bots (that includes tape bots). The water is connected below ground level though, but the four water cannons rotate in a way that cover the whole top like a lawn sprinkler.

[@eddiekolbert]

you should build an ai turret to kill the bots

[@captainsnekk]

For the mobile base, maybe you can make it like a pickup van style? Just an idea

[@Redinator]

Alriiight, hammers to *ham* stuff.

[@TimotyGimes]

Yea, you are back, happy to see you again.

[@BrianJ1962]

Sux you lost progress, but 'silver lining' for the unlimited inventory - lol. Just a thought, if you have the sensors pointing down, then you'll have no worries about the bots destroying them (plus it cures the corner issue) ;-) Also, no idea why YT didn't show me this video until I came to your channel - grrr, YT, fix your algorithms!

[@Zerophil_]

you could make the crushers out of resource collectors

[@hrochos]

Nice

[@slothbot7855]

I would have had the whole ceiling fall on the bots instead of individual hammers

[@nathonjones7793]

You should build a barge

[@l3ws]

Please make a catapault to get to the packing station or Use a auto turret to protect the safebox

[@Moonbo]

I love this idea

[@l3ws]

@@Moonbo thank you for replying

[@bastianm.1959]

[@justinpatterson5291]

It's Stahp Hammer Thyme

[@stephencross1230]

You would have been better adding a logic gate relay so the hammers went up and down went activated rather then just down...

[@OrenBlau]

make the sensors less sensitive so if there is a bot behind the hammer the sensor wont detect it

[@werner1]

Dirty cheater, great idea enabling those dev commands I have a save with the name as "dirty cheater" sometimes it's just fun to be able to make stuff without the pain of collecting the materials with those commands it's great to be able to export / save your vehicles and import them into another save (I was able to export and import creations there is a line / code you have to type in I can find it for you ?.

[@pikniking7949]

I will love the mobile run but please make it with 20-30 min videos

[@greymatter1999]

I’m excited for a mobile Base play through that sounds awesome and I’m curious how your going to handle farming.

Hi moonbo

[@calebadkins2218]

HEY MOONBO did you know that you could copy your save file so if you made a download link with it we could have a version of your world.

[@thecanadiangamingmooseguy.6107]

why no more scrap mecanic

[@TheDartFrog]

omg there are gonna be streams too???? :OO

[@no3903]

Moonbo are u going to upload this series again?

[@godoftruth1399]

You should post the save file. Might be a way to fix it.

[@cthulhu8977]

They need to be solid; then need some form of pulse timer to cycle piston once when triggered. Maybe SR Latch? Fun build tho! With my crusher I had an issue with them hitting it while it was down; also the totebots need like a full second or 2 to decide there is an open path = move forward. I ended up using some timers so it remained up for 2 full seconds; then pulse down for .5 sec. Took 2 timers and like 4 gates... made my brain smoke.

[@janwinkelmann8859]

Hey moonbo you should try a survival World with a awesome survival mod like fantmod ... check it out is unbelievable great 👍

[@justinpatterson5291]

How about a flying base? Or is that too unrealistic?

[@simonlarsen6472]

nono, it's just too fuel eating

[@wyattkendall9907]

Have this world be your mech world so you can test if your mechs could work in survivla

[@wyattkendall9907]

Just have mechs to care wood fruit crates battle underwater flyer

Pls make a new survival world

I’m first lol but hi moonbo

[@coltenwillers146]

No streams pls.

[@coltenwillers146]

More vids instead, if this is possible.

[@ITpanda]

Unlimited inventory to replace what you know you had seems okay but keeping/abusing it means this is no longer survival. Kinda ruins the series.

[@Moonbo]

Agreed, but at the end of the day there's not a single goal in the game at the moment, so there's really nothing to lose.
