Expanding Our Floating Base! (Raft Mechanic Ep. 4)

In today's episode of our Raft Mechanic series, we expand our base raft and drive it across the ocean! We'll also improve our collector design to collect junk even more effectively from the ocean. I'm also working on a custom game mode of the mod, which is gonna be so much better!

you should make a vac pump that pickes up blocks instead of placing them so you can make a colector

[@Terra_Blade]

nice idea!

[@trystanrodriguez8750]

Vacuum pumps can only pick up stuff as the item form while they’re in the bubble. Not while placed together or just sitting around, but that was a good idea!

[@trystanrodriguez8750]

It could’ve worked , maybe they’ll update that?

[@Mijo0x9]

@@trystanrodriguez8750 well my idea was when see block take item code of block break block and place new block with item code in the conected chest its like 5 lines of code and a new model

[@trystanrodriguez8750]

@@Mijo0x9 interesting idea!

[@oOoOoO8OoOoOo]

You and your Team could add a "Debris Magnet", to collect the Debris floating around the ocean. It could maybe use from 1 to 3 batteries per 2 minutes. However, it would only would only react to certain materials when painted these colors: green - plastic orange - metal red - wood other color - other materials.

[@rebel6301]

you could probably repurpose that into a makeshift propulsion mechanism

[@triplus198]

I think she’s an indie developer

[@Terra_Blade]

another idea i have is a vibrator, or a high pitch(so you cant hear it) noise maker, that will scare sharks away. it will have to be VERY EXPENSIVE tho

[@Live-Paradox]

mod update suggestions, better shark AI, smaller water filter thing, bigger propellors, better fishing, even stronger raft blocks, more story to the game, and more wood from the tree farm. thank you.

[@Dr-Pixel]

We are adding most of these things in the next update

[@suicidalbanananana]

"Needed": - Collection net (more "in universe": ocean vacuum pump? can suck up grids below a certain size? maybe only if they touch water?) - Shark Bait (give the shark something to attack other then your raft) - Barrels with stuff (pretty much exactly like in raft, they float between the trash and you get a whole range of items from them) Would be cool to have: - Travelling trader? (he has his own raft, besides all seeds he sells some raft specific farming stuff like maybe those farming plots?) - "Logbook range extender" and "Antennas"? similar to raft you need to build a thing and connect 3 antenna's to be able to find "story islands", keep the logbook functionality you have now for things like mechanic station, crashed ship & any custom beacons, but to find said "story islands" you need to use the range extender thing (either by simply standing near one, or even putting the logbook inside of it by pressing use? and take out again with another press?) The above islands thing could then let you unlock blueprints for the following stuff: - Steering wheel? (a glorified seat that takes less space, press use on it to be able to steer, press again to get control of character again, so really its just a seat without moving or posing the player when they use it) - Better sails? (bit bigger and twice as effective?) that might even be usable as wings?? (should be really weak wings tho only allowing you to make a basic scouting vehicle, no flying rafts) - Steam engines? (similar to the engines in raft, they take wood instead of gas/batteries) - Air generator? (pretty much the thing thats in fants mod, you configure and then power a certain part to create an underwater air pocket, for cool underwater bases) - Some part that lets you control buoyancy of a grid? (submarines!! ^^) - Shark collar? (if you can convince a shark to let you put a collar on it by feeding it or whatever, it will then swap sides, protecting your raft from other sharks) - Glowbug & Woc Pens? (automatically keep the animals inside of them, maybe also auto feed and collect??) - Glowbug engine?!?!?! (base it on the above glowbug pen, but the glowbug is placed on a conveyor belt like floor and it turns cardboard into bearing rotation?)

[@Dr-Pixel]

We are working on all of that

[@maxwhite6913]

Woo it's being worked on ALL OF THAT WOULD MAKE LIFE SO MUCH EASIER

[@Dimscod]

2:36 LETS GOOOOOO ILLEGAL WOOOOOCCCCCCCCCC

[@Terra_Blade]

also a teir 2 farm were you can still only put 2 crops but the farm is smaler and quicker. also conectable to a chest

[@TheTenzen12]

Idea: Shark bait idea2: Shark repelent (if Batman uses it, it have to be good idea)

[@ianyeet772stupidpeopleplay8]

I like yeeting the sharks into the stratosphere

[@MrMattkid]

You know just because you put the shark mount on the side of your raft you should give them the cool mechanic of scaring off sharks when they get close enough to them. Bigger fish eat little fish.

[@darkener3210]

Have those shark mounts that the sharks drop be rarer and have those scare the sharks away

[@Terra_Blade]

you should add a way to use THE UNLIMITED POWER of clam diving, like a block that works like a treadmill. it could generate energy or redirect were the glowbug gose so you can choose were will the glowbug go

[@Alper28-stuff]

Yes

[@Terra_Blade]

i also have an idea about the water purifier. a second tier purifier that will be smaler and be able to connect to a chest

[@TriibuNupsik]

Debuf the sharks!

[@guillermoelnino]

after only one episode you regress into mega raft. I don't blame you. bringing everything with you everywhere is too tempting.

[@vathouisk]

A slightly bigger backpack or at least equipment slots for the flippers and scuba tank would be nice

[@fatcat5323]

I already finished the whole Chapter 1 of the story. Can't wait for the next chapter!

[@chris_0725]

The upgraded Waterpurifier should have piping ports so you can automate it. Although there should be an option so the water you collect doesnt fill up all the chests

[@collinkaufman2316]

And go off batteries just like raft or a sunlight one just like in raft

[@Terra_Blade]

i there any way that you can add new slots in the invetory for fins and the oxygen tank?

[@Dr-Pixel]

Yesn't. We can expand the inventory though, I think

[@the_knight2663]

Sick boat

[@auerroland9464]

hello

[@ratheonhudson3311]

I like how much progress you've made in such a short time. I recently downloaded the mod Raft Mechanic and have yet to get the propellers. I do have a lot of refined metal though

[@mohammadnazriabdsamad8286]

Large chests actually have less weight than small chests.

[@Dr-Pixel]

😮

[@goobertfroobert5572]

Your raft is beginning to quite closely resemble a Radiodonta.

[@rexrcs]

I’m trying a 2 story raft currently, awesome mod, sharks are so annoying

[@Dr-Pixel]

We are working on more ways to keep those pesky sharks at bay

[@ababa8198]

FINNALY ANOTHER EPISODE

[@Dr-Pixel]

Every week, bro

[@StevesMakerspace]

Really cool mod. Nice video.

[@techsbyglebbagrov7470]

In the original Raft there is a item called a shark bait, you throw it in the ocean, shark munches on it instead of your raft

[@Dr-Pixel]

That would require messing with the shark ai, though... I'll figure something out.

[@TheDartFrog]

the sussy raft now collects stuff mmmm

[@ErickXavier]

Suggestion for a basic projectyle weapon: Bow and Arrow (where the model consists in the bow being a stick and cord and the arrow being a carrot on an stick?)

[@moonburn87]

paint your lights white!! the light travels further

[@Dr-Pixel]

That's not how fysiks work, but I'll try I guess.

[@ahrlaz4515]

realtalk wie kann man so talentiert sein

[@michaelbell6694]

Please add shark repellant I was being follow by 13 sharks at once one time.

[@XavierCat]

Add a feature that keeps clam diving alive permanently!

[@ratheonhudson3311]

I read that as "Keep Calm" like the poster

[@goldenheart4404]

ngl i think that clam diving will make it to ep.10 ]:

[@ytwizz11]

Didn’t know scrap mechanic had water bots yet, sad the only safe environment is gone now

[@Mijo0x9]

totebots and bosbots can go in water so XD no safe spots exept for the sky

[@ytwizz11]

@@Mijo0x9 only Dr Pixel can mine enough fuel to build a sky base lol

[@saipranavpalla1467]

Your raft will eventually look like a floating green house

[@spud5921]

I think episode 6 is around how long clam diving will survive

[@yerniaxzaphyrax9828]

Can you make Items float on water ?

[@MechaNexus]

Why not make a way to capture sharks and have em defend your raft from other sharks? color coded factions are technically a thing now anyways. Just make an interactive object that spawns sharks to defend you, maybe make it use a shark capsule of sort.

[@Dr-Pixel]

That sounds really complicated to make...

[@MechaNexus]

@@Dr-Pixel maybe have sharks a chance to drop shark capsules on defeat that you can use to spawn friendly sharks?

[@kromenome3866]

İ built an effective all-purpose mini battleship

[@codyspray2788]

When I played this mod the first time when I got to the trader after talking to him the wind didn't change was it supposed to change? Then on a new save a shark was on land and it just ran away at light speed basically.

[@Dr-Pixel]

You get propeller from trader.

[@augb.b.3522]

For the custom world release of raft mechanic is it going to be the same or extra stuff added?

[@Dr-Pixel]

Extra stuff added

[@MatiS-V2.O]

Can you make the second water filter that is automatic?

[@Dr-Pixel]

I'll add something like that, I guess

[@redneck_cowboy7826]

4 episodes and clam diving is ok or gone

[@nokodev]

Your raft will be later turn like spaggeti code

I didn't. But we'll fix it.

please dont change the propellers! stacking means "jet engines" call it a feature.

why was this like the 3rd result when searching scatman

because scrapman is a big Scrap Mechanic youtuber and I do similar content I guess.

not many threats in the ocean except sharkies i see add megalodon or kraken bot as a farmbot ocean alternative i suppose?
