[@delvideki2918]

you put a lot of work into this one nicely done! thumbs up!

[@steeljawX]

A handy tip that's kind of against your mantra, Moonbo, but one that's actually saved me more than once. Put a full 10 diesel or battery directly into the engine on top of connecting fuel tanks to them. The reason being is that you can physically see the fuel being drained from the tanks (the measure bar on the side) and once that's gone, your creation stops. . . unless you have fuel in the engine directly. Then you have a small amount left over. I've surprised myself and wondered if it was a glitch to run on fumes, but no it was fuel in the engine and it's been a life saver. Another tip that's actually changed recently, the vacuum pump is a very versatile tool. They've patched this and it's saddened me (but it's for the better), but the vacuum used to yeet out anything from it at super speed. Meaning you USED to be able to rig it up as a "poor mechanic's" mounted spud gun early on. You could also yeet water across the map. They've reduced the exiting speed of the vacuum pump, but that has actually made and interesting bit. For those of you who have mass produced the glass tubes, you can use vacuum pumps in the same capacity as water cannons. They perform about the same. Meaning you could theoretically have a pump at the end of 1 tube on a controlled bearing sucking in water and another on the other end of the chest or water tank to fire out that water and have 2 versatile vacuums instead of 1 water cannon. The only con of it is that the water cannon isn't bound to the tank/chest via tubes. So if you have the tubes, go ahead and experiment with some crazy designs. If you don't, the water cannon would be a better choice instead of investing in glass tubes (less resources at the end of it all). Just some small things to consider that were not covered in this great video.

I Just got Scrap Mechanic and I've been watching your survival campaign as well as Lathrix's and wow i'm so glad you just did this. As a mechanical engineer some of the things are kinda second nature but wow some things are just absurd lol.

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

I totally agree, some things just go against all logic, it's really confusing.

Moonbo, thank you so much for taking the time to put this video together! I am new to Scrap Mechanic and had some issues understanding the uses of some of the tools and logic. Your explanations were easy to follow and made sense. Thanks again!

[@seanburke4107]

This is a really well laid out tutorial, thanks for taking the time to put this together. Appreciate your play series as well, but covering the fundamentals really highlights how your bigger projects work cohesively.

[@amydavis4945]

OMG thank you! I just dl'd this game about a week ago and was just trying to figure things out on my own with trial and error. I learned a bit that way, but was scratching my head on other things. 😂 This video is definitely going on my Save playlist! The explanation of the water cannon is so incredibly helpful too - you saved me tons of resources!

[@ninah5324]

Thank you moonbo! I've been playing only since survival came out and I really appreciated your breakdowns of these game mechanics, especially the controllers!

[@ratheonhudson3311]

Thank you. As a learner I enjoy a step by step tutorial.

[@malindukumaradasa3851]

I just started playing in creative mode today and I learned a lot of things that would make building stuff way more fun. Thank you so much!

[@cookiemonster4074]

Thanks for explaining the basics in depth, some of the tools were confusing.. haha

[@StevesMakerspace]

Some extra tips: if you're trying to build under where the lift holds your creation, build a long temporary piece on your creation. This will change the center of your creation so that the lift changes where it holds your creation. Note that controllers have a loop button at bottom left to repeat the sequence. If you want less than 15 degree increments, hold shift while you drag. Great tutorial, Moonbo!

[@unclegsworkshop9270]

More nice work Moonbo. One quick thing that you missed is that along with the ones you already listed, pretty much any block with a durability of one can be destroyed with the hammer. This includes the basic glass, sand and some plants I know of for sure.

[@luckyblockyoshi]

Nice. Love how it’s split into different parts on the bottom too.

I definitely appreciate this video. I've been struggling. I learned about this game by accidently landing on a video of Scrapman and you and Kan playing and I am now addicted to this game. lol

[@b13rmo]

You are an absolute legend! Thank you so much. Pretty new to the game and I've figured out quite alot but you have just filled in the gaps for me.

[@tztz7114]

This is such an amazing tutorial!!!!! Thank you so much. love your content as always! (I think u'll be a great science teacher if u wanted, cuz u r really good at explaining stuff and demonstrating! )

[@third_party]

...and glass - You can also break glass with a hammer &/or gun. I also noticed something by accident one day. It 'could' be useful? ... While wielding a bucket, you can remove water directly from a container.

[@limonlx7182]

So.. this means that I could possibly throw water at bots as a defence and quickly fill up the bucket using water container? Not sure about how effective that is going to be, but still pretty interesting.

[@sammiller2817]

the explanations were so awesome and easy to understand. Thanks for this video dude , i was waiting for you to make this . This helped a lot . I`m looking forward to more . Keep it up .

[@gulch1969]

re: the pistons and bearings arriving at the destination at the same time with different speeds, as someone that's been a cnc machinist for 30 years I call that "Inverse Time".

[@WolfandRaven]

Thanks for the info for new players! Im thinking about getting this since they got the survival mode with it! The game has always reminded me of the BanjoKazooie nuts and bolts game, which my bro and I had a ton of fun making machines. This has that but on steroids haha

[@chrisclevenger7983]

That last tip was new for me. Good one. I came looking for tips on controlers. As in a better way to may a car with it. Free of gas or batteries. But I learned some good stuff. Thx.

I have been waiting and searching and looking for something like this!! I've really been wanting to experiment with the controllers and logic gates but couldn't figure them out for the life of me ): And even if your logic gate explanation was only "simple" it was more than good enough for someone like me who has no idea what the hell they're supposed to be looking at and working with!

You can also break tier one glass with the hammer, as well as cardboard and bubblewrap. Not sure with the spud gun, as I've not tested it yet.

[@Spechtmichi]

THX so much!!!

[@lho10101]

You also need to put a switch on the vacuum pump for the water container. Idk why but it took me forever to figure that out lol. (I’m completely new to scrap mech tho).

[@waynejoyce5133]

thatnk you i needed this vid so bad but can you do more on logic gates please

Great vid! 👍

[@legobuilder3578]

good video spud gun can also plant spuds

[@esteban14aq]

Thanks man

[@ConnorSinclairCavin]

You can also break glass blocks with the hammer as well as a few other types

[@terryrhuebottom]

There is one more Logic function that you should cover. NOT gates. While they are not here you can use the NOR and a single input to create the same effect. This will give you the full range of Logic Gates. Also, A fun little book to help with logic function would be Digital Electronics DeMystified by Myke Predko.

[@zcount683]

It is SO true! I had a haybot knock me off my car then as I was ragdolling down the hill, he destroyed the driver's seat. The car then took off by itself until it drove off a cliff.

tip, to this day, may 9 2021, you can stand ontop of either an unrefined metal or any other unrefined object hit it with a hammer, and it will move but you will ride on it too as if glued to it.

You can also destroy glass with the hammer or spud gun

[@guymanhumanperson]

you forgot that the hammer can break glass

Thanks moonbo, you’re the best, Im gonna enjoy this more than you think, and hope my dumb brain understands at least something

[@angelusmortis3256]

Considering a KZbinr did kill a farmbot with his hammer... it spawned at his beginner mechanic shop so... yes you can kill the big red guy with a hammer it's not recommended tho

[@justkels_gaming7238]

Keep on going can u try the game nfs hot pursuit

[@Having_Good_Times]

Wait do you need a computer to run scrap mechanic or scrap mechanic survival or can you use a laptop

[@jeffs7528]

You forgot about the glass block

[@Nunya_Bidnez]

Spud guns can also plant spuds when fired into the crop soil. A controller can be altered by only one degree by holding shift while dragging

[@pintogaming99]

Moonbo can you make a mansion and put a double layered wall around it and your farm 10 blocks over the water with an elevator going up to it

The hammer can also break glass which makes sense and super annoying at times

[@Roaster523]

Moonbo I already now how to make a car but i never played scrap it is because I watch all your vifs

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

I wish you made this when survival came out. I was one of the many who bought the game then and some of this stuff was not easy to figure out. It's a great tutorial though. One thing i still have a problem with is welding two or more pistons to a base with both pistons connected to the same plank of wood. They wont connect and it is all floppy. Anyone know what i am doing wrong? I thought putting the plank on a lift would work but it don't because only 1 piston gets welded that way. On a vehicle putting it on the lift works but i don't want to lift my base...

[@Moonbo]

I would have made it sooner if I had all of these parts available to me in survival! As for your question, the best thing you can do is remove the least amount as possible to separate your pistons from your build, connect your weld points and fuse them, then weld the whole thing in the removed section.

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

@@Moonbo Ahh I see, so make the piston thing work as a separate entity and then wield that onto the base... Interesting, yes I bet that would work. Thank you soo much! This has been doing my head in...

[@JessicaMarinaRushie]

@@Moonbo Oh also if you see this, I have not seen anyone make a submarine yet. One might be good for collecting oil and clams. Just an idea for a video... maybe... :) Edit: Or maybe a unicycle or something that can drive on the bottom because of all the fuel use...

[@limonlx7182]

@@JessicaMarinaRushie I've built one, useless waste of time, but I didn't regret this :p As a main block I used barrier block. The reason is the buoyancy 7. Barrier block is the only block with buoyancy 7, and minimal buoyancy to stay on surface is 6 so it's an good option. Build everything underwater, that way you can see every change in balance. I've made one mistake during the building process. Thruster has extremely high weight, and I put a bunch of wood 3 blocks (highest buoyancy block) around it. Then I upgraded thruster to lvl 5, and the whole submarine turned upside down because thruster weight turned from 9 to 2, so before trying to balance everything, upgrade the thruster to the lvl you want (maybe seat will also loose weight on higher levels). I put the gas container on the bottom, thruster on the back, seat in the middle, windshield and headlight on the front (not that important of course). But there's no use for submarine. 1. If you need to go gather oil and glue, it's not that efficient to cross such a small distances on submarine. 2. You still can't breathe underwater. I expect Axolot to add some submarine seats, that, lets say can't be connected to engines, but allow you to breathe inside a vehicle. 3. Waste of gas. In the end, useless vehicle, but I *hope* useful experience. Maybe you will need it later, so you can try if you want. If you want something more useful for now, then try to build a boat, it's much easier. I hope I helped you. I would like to maybe make a video, but I don't have anything required to make one. Good luck building whatever you build!

[@kckph4264]

also glass can be destroyed like carboard and bubble plastic

[@attenonmj3708]

Please help me! I can't weld 2 sets of blocks both connected to seperate pistons (I want to make them "work together"). The pistons are placed on a building on the ground (can't place it on a lift).

[@steeljawX]

You're going to have to cut out the floor the pistons are on and put that on the lift. It's really convoluted in a way, but that's how it'll have to be done. I had to cut out part of a wall in a house to get 2 bearings to work together. Make sure when you cut out the floor, you replace the block, but also do yourself a favor ahead of time and paint a line across where you're going to break the floor and make sure it's in a reasonably easy accessible spot. The paint is so you can line up the floor piece to your floor and the access is so you can actually weld it back where you need it to be. (I made the mistake a few times of cutting out the minimum amount of wall out and I couldn't get the piece in right because I couldn't actually see the face of the block I needed to weld onto.)
