Name for rocket: the scrapper's inginuity Name for satellite: the scrapper's curiosity When the united factions fell so did the faction known as the scarlet dawn. Didn't fall you say? You must be mistaken. They didn't disappear, no they fell from space. Their plan was to enslave the other factions with the use of sonic satellites. This was called project dark side. However, when they saw the chaos caused by the collapse they realised that the factions would fall to each other. They remained in space and as the project was of no use, they deorbited the satellites. A few months maybe years later a scrapper finds it and drags it home to be repurposed. With a little scrapper inginuity, advanced scarlet dawn technology and a complete disregard for safety that would give any inspector a heart attack the scrapper's inginuity and the scrapper's curiosity was born.

[@giotm4077]

Satellite: "Observer" This satellite was found in Scrapper territory after falling from space (wink wink scarlet dawn wink wink), the crafty scrappers, of course, reverse engineered it, but the minimalistic, yet efficient and powerful propelling system used in the Satellite was too complex for the scrappers, which they, of course, got around with a rocket Rocket: "Skybreaker" This rocket was made to get the "Observer" Satellite into orbit, and with a powerful custom jet design they stole from destroyed Lightning Hood craft, and a single "ion" thruster (as the scrappers decided to call it) that didnt get wreck (and managed to get reverse engineered by the scrappers with some bootleg lightning hood parts) in the crash of the satellite itself were used to make the rocket, and with a (quite gifted) scrapper programmer's help, they managed to developed the self-landing rocket, which they called "Skybreaker" idk I think I did a pretty good job at lore-ing it if you dont know how to get this idea to be seen, just like this comment so that maybe lathrix has a higher chance of seeying it

[@MrAlex2go]

Wanted to write lore myself... Well, never mind then! Excellent job! Can't agree more! :D

[@georgeashbolt3330]

I do believe that the "ion" thrust would be pronounced as "ee-on" also think that the satellite should be called anubis see my own comment on why this is

Lore for the Rocket “Phobos” Once a core part of the Empires nuclear force, this former ICBM served little purpose once it feel into the hands of the scrappers. Having no need for such a large weapon in their small battles, and not wanting to waste the spare materials, the nukes quickly were disassembled to RTGs, while the rockets were adjusted to launch an insult to the word “satellite”, as it was constructed with hightech lightning hoods prototypes, but little to no expertise in spacecraft design, and attached with some scrap metal rods. The missile, now way too powerful for its task, works with significantly reduced throttle, and is able to land on its spare fuel, getting reused, as the engines are too complicated to be reverse engineered. The landing legs attached for that purpose seem sophisticated at first, but are only cut out pieces from the hull, surrounded with cheap rubber on the ends, oftentimes causing unexpected troubles during landings. Even scrappers don’t like multiple tons of explosive fuels jumping around...

[@laddyboy107]

yesssss

[@avi8aviate]

If the rocket should be called Phobos, then the satellite should be called Deimos.

[@eaglesridge7896]

Warning: First lore entry attempt MAY BE BAD Lore Satellite: The X17-A Fast Swing Reconissance detection craft is a fast and mobile satellite variant used by the Lighning hoods. Commonly referred to as the "Thurible" due to the way it spins around neter like the Anglo-christian worship device with the same name. Thus reconassince radar is well know for it's capability to spot ANYTHING nearby and is known to glitch due to small arms fire overcrowding it's sensors. Lore rocket: Scavenged off the Steel Striders, the 2B-34 hauler missile is a great deviation from the spirit of "efficiency" because of lacking fuel storage but a surplus of fuel they created this hulking beast. Greedy as they were the rocket was DESIGNED for inefficiency to use up more of the surplus fuel before camp was moved. The rockets carrying potential was EXTREME and was more than capable of carrying heavy loads and safely returning to earth. Nicknamed "Crucible" due to the enormous amount of heat produced by the engines this little beast did encouragingly well on test flights before a slightly more streamlined variant was developed.

The Funny Side To The Generally Serious Lore: The Idea to put a big camera in the sky, so we can look into other peoples windows is amazing! Unfortunately this endeavor is expensive and wasteful, and not how scrappers build stuff, so instead it was decided by a person with a headache, that we should build a Satellite. No idea what this is, but it is LESS expensive and more powerful, means more window peeking, less spending. One problem, the sky is up there and we are down here. Unfortunately stacking tanks was unsuccessful, so we borrowed something off of the Onyx Watch, hope we don't have to declare war on them for this. This was The Super Seriously Powerful Rocket (The S.S.P. Rocket), but we decided we didn't need that much power, so we stripped it of all its thrusters, its A.I., its failsafe, weapons and anything really. What was left, was the main engine (Couldn't cut through the armor), so after adding some rubber to the bottom and forcing someone with a brain to make it fly, we had something that will put our Privacy Poker (The Satellite) in the sky. After strapping a "willing" pilot to a chair and the chair to the side of this heap, The Falcon Leprechaun Overweight Practical Rocket (The F.L.O.P. Rocket) was almost launching, but first we needed lunch. A few hours later after lunch we pressed a big Blue button and the F.L.O.P. shot through the sky, until it reached The Great Nothing, there the Pilot somehow managed to untie himself and cut the power, but not before he cut off the one line connecting the Privacy Poker and the F.L.O.P., making the rocket fall faster, since the radars look like a parachute and... I dunno... physics. In a minute something came tumbling down, hitting and bouncing off of the stack of tanks and landing on the rubber, making a belching sound. For the next FIVE hours the rocket was violently bouncing up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down until it stopped. By then the pilot was so wasted, as if he found the secret stash of grog in the fuel tanks. No matter his state, we were gonna rain down on him harder than Luis Suárez biting Giorgio Chiellini, but then our Mechanic-In-A-Box screamed out something in Ugandan, which roughly translates to "I can now look into the emperors office window, please let me go". We were overjoyed hearing the former statement and replied negatively to the latter one. Now we had a big Privacy Poker through which we gazed into the emperors bathroom, watching him shower, unfortunately he spotted the Privacy Poker, because he was the emperor and because it was floating outside his window. Soon after it was taken away and our fun ended, well not completely. Apart from the usual LookAtEnemiesImportantStuf, we get to once in a while look through a couple of windows, satisfying our unquenchable curiosity for a bit... until the next session.

[@bluestorm749]

Well, the first try was twice as long, so after scrapping that it only took another 10 minutes.

[@mahazkei7709]

I just realized that mosquitoes and scorpions are native to Egypt, combine that with the sandy colors of your craft, and the Pharaoh tank, you should totally name all future craft on Egyptian plagues, and other Egyptian based naming conventions. And if you're looking for something else, I know you don't like using satellites as weapons, but what if it was weak, and inaccurate? Why not make a long ranged but weak space laser, or try railguns? I know you don't like weaponized satellites, but it's an excuse to launch something into space. Or you could launch a space vessel that isn't a satellite. Maybe a space Plague Guard.

[@flakstoneforge2200]

Or a ship that allows the player,aka lathrix, to ride with safety AND style to watch a fight occur and be out of harms way... if you lose, and only have that ship... it self destructs automatically, so you won’t cheat...

[@hughmann6108]

I don't have a name but lore I do. The rocket is from a time long long forgotten. You remember your grandfather telling you stories on his lap of men traveling the stars, exploring, before the apocalypse . He told you that his dream was to visit the stars Before the apocalypse you where looking for parts to fulfill his dream but he died, and now you have the rocket wishing he was here. The satellite again was another story told to your grandfather from his father of a time when people would talk throughout the world and track where they arguing a giant machine orbiting the world. While you where mining with your laser you stumbled upon a old bunker housing a blueprint of one of these great machines and copied the blueprint down. You then built it launching it with the rocket that was for your grandfather hoping it could help you find scrap in the world ,but now your at war and use it to see where you enemies lie so they can be crushed. I don't care if you say who I am or not. If you like this but need to modify it at all I'm also fine with that.

[@lt_dagg]

How hard would it be to make bigass nuke with the rocket you made? It would be really cool to use it for killing blows to factions or as a final killing blow of the very last faction in the campaign

[@mythicthefox1246]

Taken from a broken down comms tower with a giant rocket strapped to the bottom of it, the SLDR (Self Landing Deployment Rocket) is a tactical satellite deployer which lands itself. This is both cost efficient and convenient, considering the scrappers get very little from their wins. On occasion accidents do happen, but luckily these scrappers are resourceful and use these as orbital missiles when things do go wrong. Little bit of lore for you Lathrix! Hope you enjoy!

[@teddybutter1764]

attack bike lore: In a bit of desperation, the scrappers have scrounged civilian leisure vehicles, and literally strapped as much nitroglycerine explosives onto them as the suspension can handle. They have rigged an improvisational remote control system and now send them full tilt at weaker enemies as a cheap and disposable way to kill the enemy with pretty colors and a big bang.

[@calipsothenymph4980]

@Lathland I know you're always looking for suggested builds, so here's an interesting one for you: Drawing inspiration from the Desert Boa, I'd love to see a similar build, but with a certain gimmick in mind - countering the Onyx Watch. The idea is to make a semi truck cabin that is super well protected with armor, shields, but no smoke because this is for the Onyx Watch. At the beginning of the battle, the truck has four or five extremely cheap trailers that are just super long range vehicle missile silos, ammo, wheels, and a bit of armor. The truck cabin has the expensive laser designator on board, and it drives in a continuous pattern FAR AWAY and around the enemy. As it drives, the truck cabin detaches trailers every 5 seconds or so to make sure the cheap missile silos are spread out. The truck cabin could also have a huge Cram Cannon onboard to rain hell on the slow-ass onyx watch. Lastly, the smallest ever advanced cannon specifically targeting missiles would be nice, but unnecessary So you have an expensive cabin with a laser pointer dropping off immobile and nigh defenseless missile silos. What does this do? It surrounds the enemy with numerous inexpensive, nigh disposable sources of DPS. It lets you use cruise missiles against the only faction it will excel against. It's cool to have "brainless" craft with one "boss." Lastly, it just looks badass. Thanks for reading so far! I really enjoy your videos and love to see you have so much fun you forget there's an audience to entertain! ^_^

[@j_fab3673]

Just saying vehicles don't despawn once ai dead as you can still (if you wish) use the weapons on the craft. This is probably a feature for players that actually want to drive their crafts.

[@gfoog3911]

An old rocket that was being tested by the steel empire, but was abandoned and considered obsolete. One day, the nation of scrappers happened apon this old tech and adopted it as a launching system for its satellites and named it the J-8 Transport Rocket or JTR

[@j-dudegaming4043]

Satellite name: Aristotle 17 |Rocket name: Agate Ultima MKII (Agate is a compound similar to Onyx) After the Onyx Watch had finished developing their new satellite-cruise missile combo, upon launch, all the internal mechanisms went haywire, shooting the satellite every-which-way, mainly in the scrapper base direction. So while the Onyx Watch went to go check what went wrong, the scrappers get a bit of a surprise. With a loud crash, and a significant shockwave, the satellite chrashlands less than 100 meters away from the main HQ. Curious, a few go out to check, and what they find is a battered satellite, looking repairable enough, and a (mostly) intact lower-half of a huge cruise missile. Taking this upon themselves as a challenge, the scrappers get to work day through night until, finally, fully repairing the satellite and retrofitting it with a significantly higher amount of scanners, radars, and other things. The cruise missile bottom, however, was not as easy to repair, and so they settled with keeping it halved and just patching up the holes. Surprisingly enough, it looked... decent, at least. After a few tests, they deemed it worthy of being put out on the field.

[@zackeysahebzada3293]

Umm Lathrix, there appears to be a major skip around 33:00 where you were supposed to fight the Dustwind Gypsies but then it cuts to the Lightning Hoods. Did something happen or go wrong?

[@NEOMNIMON]

I like your offhand comment about a based missile support vehicle. It immediately gave me the idea of a converted ammo hauler, something like a big rig with minimal armor and a separate trailer with no armor. It should carry a dozen or more small missiles to launch vertically. If ithe missiles have any kind of punch to them then it should not have a large capacity for reload, however if the missiles are very weak it might have a large supply of them that way it comes across as moderately balanced because it'll be easy to destroy. I like the idea of it only being able to deliver an initial Alpha strike and then being mostly useless for the rest of the fight as it is a big rig not a war vehicle.

[@rowanmcclantoc5418]

Dylan, here, with lore for the rocket and satellite. They were designs that you hacked from the Lightning Hoods skyscraper you just took. They were looking into ways to spy on their enemies without actually putting any of their forces at risk, and also were interested at the prospect of communicating with other sentient life. The original design for the satellite featured communications equipment for sending messages into space, but since Scrappers want nothing to do with no tentacle-headed aliens, you decided to remove those. You threw the rocket together from the remains of the Lightning Hood battle group that guarded the 'Scraper, because irony. The satellite was renamed the Hood's Jewel (more middle-finger), and the rocket became the Bandit's Envy.

[@PatchBits]

The Haven satellite was the first piece of advanced scientific equipment that the scavengers of the wasteland ever managed to put into orbit. Launched via the hopper rocket system, named after its dramatic landing characteristics, the satellite was nothing more than a thin metal sheet with some old, outdated radar units that were salvaged from other factions destroyed vehicles, and some small ion propulsion devices, left over from the old scarlet dawn wrecks. The rocket itself was a work of pure genius. Created with a combination of a large titanium silo, and the propulsion components from some rusted old flying vehicles, it was a shock to all who heard of its first successful launch, as nobody ever expected such a design to ever function, considering its haphazard construction, and lack of heatproofing. This construction however did mean that it struggled to reach orbital altitude, requiring it's payload to have its own method of propulsion to get the last of the way.

Lore: the space delivery system was a prototype from the early years of white flayers (or any other that makes more sence). this was the last working prototype as the project was canceled in the early years of the great war. the rocket with satellite was found under the desert sand and brought to the supreme ruler of the lathrix empire. i cannot come up with a good name but this lore does provide you with the scrapper culture of this play through.

Trash Can: a prototype rocket build and tested by the Street Saiders. It was abandoned after the death of 12 test pilots. Later found and rebuilded as an automated rocket design to luch the Can Lid-a rebuild satellite-in to space. Some tibe members have talked about arming both units. No word on that lech.

After several near deaths and power outs, the tibe decided to began project Med Bay. A flatbed truck combined with a fule tanker and armed with rebuilded robotic arms found in a old warehouse. This vehicle can carry large amounts of resources into battle allowing for quick repair work but at the cost of weapons, making it a prime target. Some member decided to take a different path and have began project Long Hall. Basely a heavy armor dump truck. While it can not carry as most as the Med Bay its armor allow it to survive almost all damage. Ether Vehicle have been seen in action. We can not canform if they arr real.

Was watching a quiet video and I saw this in the recommended, so I clicked on it. All of a sudden "GREETINGS!" Was not ready for it.

[@backinblyat3638]

I have some names and lore for you! The rocket could be named the Petrol Barrel (since launching it kind of looks like what happens when you shoot the nozzle off of one) and the lore is this; During the Scappers’ crusade across the wasteland, they came across an abandoned Steel Empire oil refinery, seeing the towering tanks of petrol in the far corner and desperate for a means of transportation for their new reconnaissance vehicle, they decided to attach a cobbled together jet engine to the bottom and using the Petrol already in it, it was able to launch the instrument into space. Though they misjudged the amount of fuel, and an early version came crashing back to the ground. Thinking about how they could be efficient and recycle the materials, they created another and added landing gear so it could be recovered. Now with their old reconnaissance balloons out of use in space they needed to create a new, more powerful satellite. Scrapping the old dishes and attaching some thrusters they found in a Steel Empire space research and engineering facility, they put on top of the Petrol Barrel and sent it off. Upon realizing how high it went and how much they could see, some scrappers started worshipping it as if it were a deity. After a while, some scrapper groups dubbed it: Watchdogs’ Vigilance, in comparison to how their mutts kept a watchful eye over their scrapyards and warned of any invaders. Alright, that’s about it! Thanks, and I hope you have fun reading it!

[@friskycorks9416]

Hey Lath, I have an idea for the "super healing craft" that you mentioned earlier in the video, which I think you may like Aeterna Vita This craft was salvaged from the Lightning Hoods craft Aeterna Lux, however was heavily modded. For example, it higher than the Aeterna Lux and has no weapons. Furthermore, it's engine power was repurposed for repairing vehicles and buildings. It has Nine compartments, that drag in vehicles from the bottom, which are approximately the size of one Pharaoh. It has three compartments for aerial vehicles which are about the size of two Eyes of The Scrapyard. For each vehicle to be healed it had to be docked in the right compartment and the doors have to be sealed. The craft is extremely fast, allowing it to carry many vehicles quickly! It also can be used as a way to send multiple satellites into space, by simply flying just before the jet engines have no air left and right before it stalls out, it releases the satellites and heads back home If you want me to explain even deeper please send me a message on hangouts to [e-mail]

[@leviathang465]

ROCKET LORE: The: Orion High Orbit Rocket Propulsion System or OH-OR-PS. was designed with the single thought of "Hey we have missiles sending bombs to big hunks of metal with massive weaponry. Why not have a big one, like a really big one, and send stuff to space or something because....... intel on enemies using a satellite or something?" It took about 22 minutes to draft up plans and a prototype using the missiles as "inspiration" for the OH-OR-PS. The engineer working on the rocket had a good laugh with its bouncing on landing so instead of fixing it decided to keep it due to liking the system being completely "Jet controlled"

[@JabberwockOclock]

CRAM bombs were recently buffed to make them less likely to blow up on the parent craft. They have a higher projectile velocity, and only inherit a 20% of the parent craft's velocity, which means the AI will fire them at a more vertical angle. Another change is that their detection signature is set to 10% of the nominal value, meaning LAMS will only start firing on the largest CRAM bombs at about 150m away. Would be fun to see one from you. Player units don't die due to AI dead. This is because vehicles can be commanded as the player's personal unit, and Nick doesn't want to discourage that. For this reason all faction units are to always be set to attack salvage, which prevents players from going into "stealth mode" by not having an AI. Only one or two units have AIs set to ignore salvage, and they are secondary anti-ICBM systems.

[@dankydearest8292]

Name the rocket the seagull heavy rocket. The seagull heavy rocket was a specialized rocket made for, as the name may suggest, lifting heavy loads into space. It was made by the ex-space corporation back in neater’s more civilized stages. It originally had two extra rocket boosters but was built down for cost efficiency when the scrappers found it. They found it in an old city that is now buried in sand. Now it is used to put a satellite into space to spy on the scrappers enemies. A point was brought up of it launching a assault satellite but not much information is known of that matter. -Lathrixpedia

Name them Zeus and Zeus.Jr. Lore, the Zeus origin's story, designed for kids of the scrapper community ( to be read in a humorous voice ) One stormy evening on the harsh planes of the dusty desert, A simple man of little wealth but many guns, He looked at the stars and shouted out "stop mocking me you scoundrels", And set out on his mission. His mission was simple, he would design a space satellite craft to end the DWGs. This was a man of taste so no nerd pole would do. One of his workers called Elon Musk came along and said, "hey, I'm building a rocket as well, its designed to be re-usable" Lath looked at the man told him "Eric or whatever your name is, you're a bloody idiot, shut up and search for scrap" Of course he actually thought it was a brilliant idea, Lath is no fool. He decided he was going to steal the idea and put it to work for the war cause, to search for the enemy, which would certainly bring the end. Lath worked for weeks in secret... on drawing it, then he told a few of his workers to make it for him, and he'd give them some more food allowance. The rocket was complete... "Zeus" was complete, now all he had to do was salvage a fair sized radar from one of the DustWindGypsies' bases, he had one lying around that he played darts on, and sometimes people would sneak in and draw inappropriate images on it. Never the less he sent it in to space the next day, coincidentally, he thought it would crash and mess up, so when it actually went in to space he was taking a s*** on the toilet reading "The daily scraps"... his own newspaper. I'm a scrapper not a scholar, so don't blame me for grammar mistakes or the fact that it's a cross breed of a poem and a story.

The Satellite can be called the "Seeker" and the lore can be "A Skarlet Dawn satellite went out of orbet and landed right next to the watering hole. It was salvaged and converted."

[@EuelBall]

Well here's my entry into the lore sweepstakes... "Starting with a disadvantage in both territory and resources, the Lathrix scrappers were gifted with startling, almost frightening, levels of ingenuity and design genius. Remembering the truism that 'Forewarned is fore-armed' the Lathrix faction invested in the intelligence gathering that its foes disdained. An example of this was the "Long Spoon" warning and reconnaissance platform. Named after a popular saying among scrappers, "When you sup with the Devil, use a long spoon.", this vehicle hovered high above the planet's atmosphere on ion drives, able to relocate and remain above points of interest, without the need for orbital velocity. To emplace this platform, the Lathrix faction took an abandoned, Lightning Hoods nuclear armed rocket, modified it to reduce thrust, and added rubber-tipped landing legs to enable reuse and/or recycling. They named this vehicle the "Johnny Jump-up", after the epithet coined by the Dust-Wind Gypsies for the Lathrix faction, "Jumped up junk-yard johnnies". Both factions were to later regret their previous treatment of the Lathrix scrappers..." From "The Rise of the Lathrixian Empire" , Great Northern University Data Service, 1205 AC.

My attempt at lore The dragoon fire rocket was found floating in space with a curious logo on the side that said Space X it was brought down from space and then sold into the scrapping industry where lathrix got his hands on it, he then repainted and repurposed the rocks for his own uses

[@Vrozkrokop]

Love it, especially because you were way more offensive and we got to see a lot of battles. More videos like this one please.

[@aerbon]

18:05 and here we see the chestburster copperhead, a rare specimen who bursts out of other vehicles dooming both itself and the vehicle it is unclear why they havent gone extinct yet, a true miracle of nature

[@ok0then]

32:30 Wha5 about your reusable rocket for cargo? Like a cargo supply drop. It launches a sat that has reentry capability so it can move resources to your troops. And it would look cool to see a non combat orbital vehicle be put to use. Rocket resupply is go

[@jeyanthgoringe600]

Lathrix, you are the most underrated KZbinr ever!

[@Travminer123]

Project Rocket: The rocket was once an Nuclear missile that was launched by the scarlet dawn during a previous war with the lightning hoods. The missile however never detenated and was just left abandoned by the scarlet dawn. The scappers happly collected this weapon of mass destruction and transformed it into a way of transporting their beloved satellite's into orbit. Without any care, that one day the missile will do what it was once designed to do... in the scrappers faces!

Lore incoming: rocket name: Scrap Orbiter aka Donkey Kick:In order to sell scrap, the scrapping factions have always kept the most advanced rocket technology known to bots. The faction with the best rocket could sell to off world marketer for a premium unheard of on Neter. Because of this, scrappers have long had the best missile technology, as demonstrated in the first empire wars. The rocket lands itself because the designer got bored, though In retrospect it saves material, allowing the scrappers to sell more goods for a cheaper cost, with more profits. The bouncing is a tactical maneuver to avoid any steel conquest era land mines, causing them to detonate without damaging the rocket. It is called... Tactical Bouncing. Surviving the bounces has become a right of passage among the scrapping tribes, as the G forces accociated can tear apart all but the best built of bots.B.O.S.S.(Big Orbital Spy Satellite) Long range metal Detector: Because of the advanced rockets, scrappers often launched spy says for various other factions. Being scrappers, they copied the tech, and are now using a steel empire stolen chassis with a custom metal detector once used to find scrap in strewn across the world combined with a high tech orbital camera copied from the lighting hoods.

[@theavaliengineer]

btw you could make this way cooler. I made a launch system on a truck and using PIDs and Lua it lands right near the truck every time, then the truck picks up the missile and retracts the launch rails.

[@joaoeduardoortega64]

OMG, that rocket remembers me of a woodpecker episode... the one on wich the crocodile builds a fake rocket with furniture

[@caelodevorago608]

I think the non-op way to make attack satellites is to make a command vehicle that is the one who actually provides coordinates for the satellite to attack (Massive cruise missile?) and once that command vehicle goes down (It's an unarmed command tank, maybe only has defense systems) the satellite self-destructs Lore wise, it's so the satellite control device cannot be hacked and have the satellite fall into enemy hands!

[@typhoon1575]

You should make a rail gun mortar. A giant rail gun lobbing 8 meter shells which have no gun powder, relying on the rail for a propulsion, so that the shell can be absolutely huge and destructive. Being balanced by fire rate of a rail

[@immagonthinkalot7792]

Satellite idea "The nasty Present" is a very cheap satellite. It floats more or less elegant over the Battle untill it finds a very slow and very big enemy vehicle to fall down on from heaven, offering tonns of explosives to the enemy. Originally the parts belonged to the Bomber "Raining Presents" but it was to expensive to keep it in the air and was destroyed too often. The "Presents" are now combined to "The nasty Present" for more boom and less rain (Who likes rain anyway) and as a Solution to the high costs to stay in the air and for the bomber itself the Scrappers simply launched "The nasty Present" into space where just minimal energy is necessary to move it.

[@TheMhalpern]

Lore for the rocket (you can read my name) The ExploreZ Hawk 1: Before the war ExploreZ was the planet's primary Launch Service Provider, with their locally produced reusable Hawk 1 rocket as their workhorse, at the end of a Hawk 1's life they were often sold for scrap, this is how the single Hawk 1 currently in operation came into possession of the scrappers, the majority of the rocket came from the last Hawk 1 to launch before the war, however on its own it would be inoperable, but through grit and luck parts from perhaps a dozen other Hawk 1 boosters were found and a complete booster was created, it is however uncertain how many launches it has in it.

[@Grantm06]

For your carrier vehicle make a chinook, it’d fit the whole scrappers theme and it’d be neat to see two rotor heli crafted from ya.

[@pikaneer2079]

Satellite Lore Entry: The Dirtgazer The Dirtgazer was the culmination of a large conglomeration of like-minded mechanics inclined to agree upon one thing: staring at the ground from a high vantage point is indeed quite relaxing. For many years prior to the fall of the Steel Empire, countless attempts were made by the odd lunatic to build a high-altitude balloon that could see things from up above... And as such, the scrappers of the desert ended up with quite the inventory of radar-equipped balloons, complete with rocking chairs for their eccentric creators to lounge in as they gazed upon the hapless plebeians down below. Yet for many, it simply was not enough- and thus the quest to put rocking chairs ever higher into the sky was conceived. When the Scarlet Dawn arrived for the first time, many mechanics became curious: if these angry, red-clad menaces came screaming down from the sky in great fireballs, there must have been some method to put them up there in the first place! It must have been possible to put rocking chairs even higher into the sky than ever before, concluded the dirt-gazing savants. Then, one day, a malfunctioning two-stage Steel Empire ICBM destined for one of the alien menace's imposing death satellites crashed down into the wasteland. Inspired by the machine, a small team of high-altitude rocking chair enthusiasts quickly seized it and promptly began work on a new project- the highest rocking chair of them all. Suffering numerous trials and tribulations, they tested countless iterations of their new creation; using the reverse-engineered principles of the Steel Empire missile that fell from the heavens so long ago and various rocket motors which were surreptitiously removed from the parts bins of nearby factories, the small team of high-altitude rocking chair enthusiasts finally finished their most glorious creation: the Dirtgazer. With the fall of the Steel Empire, many of the old prototypes and models produced by the small team of rocking chair enthusiasts were seized by officials to serve as makeshift missiles against the separatist factions, but a number of these peculiar relics remain in numerous scrapyards scattered about the realm of the scrap mechanics. These were regarded with few serious opinions aside from those of disbelief and dismissal... Until now.

[@oh-kay6061]

Also,where did the fight (from dustwind hq)to right before the eternal light(lightning hoods) attack?

[@bepethetoad708]

Hey there i love your channel very much you teach me alot about From The Depths and yes i wanna say thanks and good luck.

[@aidanweber1561]

If you go the route of artillery, Make an Artillery train similar to the one in Factorio. It could have multiple cars, and be technically several different vehicles. One car being the engine, another being the tender, and could heal your other troops when out of combat and carry resources, and the next could be a massive cram cannon. But the caveat being that it stays at long distance and have very little heavy armor, maybe mixing wood in with medium armor and some spaced armor. So it would be very vulnerable without escorts. It would serve a largely support role, but if a shell hits a target dealing major damage. It would be a resource carrier, medic, and dps all rolled into one complicated hunk of scrap. Lore wise, it could have been the primary mode of transportation for the Scrapers. Carrying large loads of Scrap from the Carnage of recent and sometimes millennia old battle; to forges that glowed red, sparks flying from dawn till dusk. Melting and Re-purposing the bent and broken steel, then hauling it to open air bazaars where it was resold to its prior owners... But the days of piece are over.... when the Lightning hoods attacked, it was re-purposed. It once aerodynamic and light weight wooden sides had sheets of spare metal bolted on hapazardly. An ancient artillery unit of the Empire strapped shoddily to its roof. It kept its role as a resource carrier, but now... its once glorious speed is gone and replaced with even more glorious destruction. It is ready for War...

[@bligityblarg]

The rocket: The Boomerang After a few tries, the scrapper engineers had to make a form of relandable rocket, to save scrap of course. After a few HORRID tries, they finally managed to make a rocket that could carry a decent payload to space. The engineers had their gears turning, wondering what else to use this newfound technology with

[@aerbon]

i was bored and didnt know what to play, then this came out and divine inspiration struck me. i have now made a weaponized sattelite (i like op stuff) and a recreation of the quarantine enforcement platform from subnautica with a really powerfull burst-continuous laser (normal cont laser but it has alot of storage cavities and the extra damage thingies so it gives a burst of continuous damage) since i felt like that sort of laser would look best

[@darkenergy3742]

Call the rocket Artemis and the satellite All-Eye. Artemis’ history: Artemis is nicknamed the “Steel Missile” by everyone except Steel Empire (I think that is their name), the users of this terrifying nuke delivery system. While they were toying with the Dustwind Gypsies, a ballon All-Eye lifted the plans right out of the Steel Empire’s production facility and into the Scavengers hands. Being scrappers, they modified the Artemis to a larger payload and to be reusable, due to the immense cost of making these. By the time the Steel Empire realized, Scorpions were raining from the sky. All-Eye’s history: One of the only designs originally designed by the scrappers, the All-Eye was their second craft. At that point they were ballon satellites. They are used for scouting, stealth ops, and overall fun (by dropping bombs on helpless craft). When the Artemis came around, the All-Eye was modified into its current form.

[@GridM0nkey]

maybe instead of a satellite weapons platform you build a psudo MIRV/icbm head for that rocket. Just something that gets launched up, has fixed ammo, or has to "choose" between staying in the air and shooting, so it either unloads and crashes to the ground and is lost, or hangs out longer and spies on the battle. either way it was pretty cool.

[@caspiras]

Yup Lath, friendly crafts can't go A.I. dead. If they could, then making manual crafts would be a nightmare!

[@ovencake523]

Yes! Lath uploaded

[@Lordkillerus]

Bomber for sure also is it possible to give the bombs heat seekers and fins (no propulsion) and would they still work?

[@yourlocalboatbuilder3574]

For your healer craft you should make it look like the steel empire`s final boss and fill it with mix-matched storage crates. (and remove the guns (maybe)) |Lunder| Lore: Once upon a time, a lone Steel Empire heavy tank came through Scrapper territory and lost and without weapons. A Mosquito with 2 Scrappers on board saw the heavily damaged tank, the S.E. Tank tried to pay away the Scrappers. Little did they know, you can`t bribe a Scrapper. The Scrappers, with their high storm-trooper abilities, killed all the crew and took the ship. They did not know how much resource they were carrying and realized their little Mosquito could not carry all of the glorious loot. The one with the British accent and speech impediment said "Why don we refit the tank to hold cargo!" The other said "YES!!" Out came the Lunder Cargo-ship.

[@Talon1124]

Satellite: Overwatch The Overwatch observation platform is a prototype design the Steel Empire originally tested before the Fracturing. The original was lost on reentry. Scrappers found the wreck and salvaged the technology, reverse engineering it and making their own version while fixing the instability issue that caused the original crash. Rocket: Skylaunch The Skylaunch reusable rocket platform was originally an Onyx Watch long-range delivery prototype that was lost on its maiden flight above Dustwind Gypsie territory. Scrappers recovered the wreckage of the surprisingly intact rocket and pressed it into service as a multi-use delivery unit for various payloads, far beyond the reach of the raiding Gypsies in the area.

[@Thunderbolt-Racing]

Sentinel and Meridian: Upon declaring war upon the Onyx Watch, the Lathrixian legion recognized an urgent need for an advance warning and recognisance unit. Following their success using a hacked, Steel Empire sattelite array the scrappers decided to deploy their own orbital drones and so the brightest minds in the legion were gathered, the product of their research was the DR-66A codename "Sentinel". Light and efficient, it was designed to work without the presence of an atmosphere however, despite it's success in testing the Sentinel was useless without a way to get it into geostationery orbit. This posed a problem however, only the Lighning Hoods possesed the technical mastery to create an accurate enough guidance system, and so, the Yard Master and his senior command put together a devious mission to procure the most advanced propulsion balancing mainframe in their arsenal. The scrappers lured the Lux Aeterna into their territory, crippled but still functioning, and, with the surgical precision of their ex-mining lasers, carved it intwain. Having perlioned a sufficiently beefy guidance system, they were able to cobble together a steel obelisk, the DR-66B codename "Meridian". The Meridian plays its role well, but with only scavanged springs to hand, the improvised landing gear cause the craft to bounce whenever it lands.

[@GutteralMasticator]

About the magnetic bomber.. As you know how good the AI is, your tanks may get close to said magnetic bombs and I believe the bombs will be drawn to your constructs. I would really love to see a cram bomber and if possible using cram chutes, while giving the shell perhaps a 3m pen depth and what ever you find good to gut insides (frags/ exp).

[@minecrafter31097]

Lore: The scrappers once saw what other factions called an ICBM and seeing it's potential they tried to reverse engineer it. After weeks of work they did it, that was until they realized they didn't have the nuclear material for it to work properly. However because of the tests they did with the engine they knew that the rocket was powerful enough to go to space and carry things with it, it was then on just simply referred to as the "Hauler". One of the scrappers then had a revelation they could use the hauler to get their balloon scanner into space it would then have a bigger scanning range and be able to locate scrap farther out then normal. So that's what they did, they re-engineered the balloon scanner to be able to work in space but because of they limited resources and their lack of knowledge on space it was unstable when it moved. After launching the first one into space and it activating they discovered more scrap then ever before and thus began the scrappers expansion. After the success of the satellite they decided to name it the "Orbiting Eye" since after launch everything within range was watched. Please mention name if this gets chosen as the lore and names.

[@pierre-andrelecomte9384]

lath for the 2 vehicles you talk about: a bomber and an artillery missile carrier i have some suggestions for your artillery missile carrier ... use wheels ... made of spin block and rubber (edit: nope it doesn't work at all) for the missile themselves, how about trying to make them last very long in the air use 1 or 2 regulators which will make them last 4 or 7 minute in the sky for them to fly during all that time, here the formula : in case of 1 regulator (4 minutes) for each fuel cells add 28,75 to the variable thruster this formula make that the number of fuel cells decides the speed for the 2 regulators (7 minutes) its 16,40 by fuel cells (need a lot) you also talked about a cram cannon artillery some times ago a little bug showcase that might be funny build a square made of 4 4m wood beam with a 3x3 hole in the center put it inn the water and it will spin (if the bug still there)(work with 4 3m wood beam 2x2 hole too)

[@nukchorris0]

You could make a large support craft that can create and hold fuel and holds a ridiculous amount of resources that can heal its allies :D

[@ziyplaysgames]

Oh-My God, Missile Artillery Sounds Amazing X3!!!!!

[@8cto289]

Dust spore for the satellite and the dust cap for the rocket. In the sandy deserts of neter, it’s hard to get any sight besides blinding UV rays and Uber-bright sunlight. The dust cap and its spores solve that problem. By being a cheap and effective design, scrappers couldn’t of made it. It was a rocket from a long gone space agency called NASA (Neter Aeronautics and Space Agency). It was named the dust cap since 1) the scrappers played too much oxygen not included. 2) it was found in the desert and 3) its “spores” did look like mushroom caps when attached. With this ancient fungal doohickey in working order and mass production. Scrappers far and wide use it and have it as a symbol of technology.

[@8cto289]

Haven’t made much lore yet so may be bland but plz chose

[@Dumb-J]

Lathland you should make a couple of satellites that have advance cannons on them and make it where they rain cannon balls from the sky

[@madisonrichards9148]

You should build a line of steel curtains and those little drop turrets at the resource points along the lightning hoods' border and as a fallback line and instead of the Stalin line it should be the Lathrixian Line

[@cedargross2539]

The satellite is called the locust. The Locust is an extremely long range satellite used in surveillance, so called because of the way it blocks out all light as it passes across the sun. The Locust directs the swarm across the deserts of Neter, the creatures it leads devouring anything, or anyone, in its path.

[@sir_longshot1755]

Is it possible to set repair bots to only be active if there are no enemies with a certain range?

[@harryrewcastle9444]

The rocket is one ofthose steel striders nukes, the satellite part is a crashed steel striders satnav that was repaired and reverse engineered so it could be reproduced

[@aidandixon6028]

Lath, I'm having some issues with advanced cannons in space, they keep on undershooting because they wont compensate for gravity, gravity compensators seems to just make it worse, any ideas how to fix this?

[@zetarhythm3503]

Yes! Rocket artillery! Now that spin blocks can be placed on turrets, it's easier to fire APN missiles at an angle to get a nice ballstic curve to your shots.

[@zetarhythm3503]

And here's yet another building suggestion for anyone interested: A support aircraft of any kind. It could be a gunship, a bomber, a spotter, or a cargo hauler. The catch is, it cannot use jets, ions, or dediblades. You'll be restricted to helium pumps, spinners, and other more novel forms of propulsion. For instance, it could be a zeppelin or a spinblock-powered helicopter.

[@RyanJames]

Also in terms of lore for the satellite, have it as a scavenged satellite? Found it attached to a rocket inside an enemy base and claimed it, the satellite could be named Starchaser or Stargazer and the rocket could be called the Starhaven

[@kelifonium_5989]

Name: Icarus&Argos Lore: This pair of space craft was composed of The Icarus rocket and Argos satlite. Icarus rocket is just re-useable rocket. But Argos satlite have even it isn't perfact and proto type of Self Orbital Stabilization system. This space crafts are crude and old, but every one acknowledge it's skout ability.

[@TheAwsomejamesopao]

Maybe you could try and make the landing gear on the rocket separate vehicles by using docking ports on spin blocks so that it won't bounce

[@31emanual]

You should build an entirely different emp variant of the tank and/or copter. Maybe try some sort of emp artillery cram craft?

[@darkenergy3742]

For the healer bot use the ground laser without the laser and arcs on each side with the repair tentacles on the arcs as mobile construction bays

lore for rocket : Rocket : "In a world ripped apart by war, 2 country led by 2 powerfull leader started a nuclear war agaisn't each other ; Blondhair and Roketboi. As they are now pretty much non-existant anymore, any scrapper with a proper mind would have payed a high price for those nuclear missile. Reused for more scientific, radiation less stuff, such as lazer satellite or phone communication, those very unstable rocket had the potential to send in orbit pretty much anything and by attaching some oversized barbecue leg to it, it prevent you from having to search for those long time forgotten relic again. Satellite : "Overlord" They was a time once ago when people cared for thing outside of earth, and planted huge dishes on the ground to search for inteligent life outside of earth, but now that war is everywhere, scrapping those dishes can detect in a very large radius any vehicle and plane that contain inteligent life form."
