I Built a New Trailer for MASSIVE Deliveries! (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep.12)

Hey everyone and welcome to Scrap Mechanic Survival! Today we are using a new trailer that can carry massive quantities of fruit and trying to deliver some higher tier materials to the trader! Hopefully the truck can handle delivering all the extra weight added with this new setup...

[@ARockRaider]

in trucking the bit that hangs down form the trailer is called the "kingpin" and the spot it locks into is called the "fifth wheel" (don't ask where the name came form, i don't have a clue) you may find it helps your steering if you move the fifth wheel farther forward on your truck, you would have to extend it a bit but if the game models weight distribution at all that should put more on the front. I think you have done a fine job with your truck rig and hope to see more!

[@JaneDoe-dg1gv]

ARockRaider the fifth wheel actually comes from the marketing for the first semi truck. It had a fifth wagon wheel on a free spinning axel. The flatbed would be lowered onto the free wheel and lock onto it.

I have a suggestion for you to improve your buggy. If you add an AND module, you can connect this to the Switch of the suspension and the normal headlights and control the upper ones. The top headlights only come on when you are driving off-road and the normal headlights are switched on. I would also only the upper ones rely on full power, makes the effect even better! ;)

I was wondering how that'd work when you wanted to unhitch, but if you made a colored block side back and forth with a switch like the piston engine activator pieces you could raise and lower from inside the cab. completely Cab operated.

[@insertnamehere6960]

Coyote858 or have a sensor next to the hitch that retracts the legs when it’s activated so they extend as soon as you pull the truck away and retract once the truck is far enough underneath

psycho steve, good idea. Set it up to detect the locking pin so the legs automatically raise when it is locked in, and lower when it is released. And, in case it gets yanked loose again, set up some bearings & arms with buttons to upright it automatically.

When murder holes are pushed over the edge of the wall, it's machicolations. And yes you should add them. You also want to add crenellations for the tape bots. As for your truck, the lower wheels let you hitch up easier, so you'll want to increase the trailer legs size. And irl trucks use a 'saddle' that lowers the contact area of truck and trailer.

Hourdes were the wooden corridors built along the tops of castle walls with machicolation holes along the floor too shoot down along the wall; when replaced with permanent stone crenelations, some built them set out off the walls to provide machicolations. Murder Holes are where you have a small room between 2 gates/portcullis, with thin slit windows along the walls, and hatch holes in the roof to drop rocks/tar/oil down.

[@rorymead4579]

The "murder holes" in castles are Crenellations, and they would work really well on that wall for sure

[@countrylife3900]

jack the suspension up on the rear most axle, this will transfer weight to the front axle. also when re-designing the truck if you move the king pin forward (or move the rear axles back) this will put weight on the front axles. A real tractor trailer has several positions that the king pin can lock in to help distribute the weight across all of the axles. this helps with handling and axle load.

[@PlayFull_Cat1]

Kan :We also have no turning with this heavy trailer. Moments later: Makes a huge turn with no problem.

[@IRMentat]

That’s what I like about scrap mechanic. They may use mathematically “perfect” objects (consider a rod of length x, a wheel of radius r, a pivot of size 0 but with no friction) but the interaction of friction, mass, linear/radial force and simple logic control systems allow for some insanely interesting results. This the visually appealing flat surface on flat surface of your trailer upon a pin has a frame rate and mobility issue where a real truck would simply torque itself to breaking point. The consequences are that you get rewarded for good design yet poorly thought out ones don’t self destruct without warning. All that said, id murder for some REAL high capacity fuel storage and high efficiency engines that can handle larger vehicles without needing a pit stop every 5-10 minutes. The jet engines suffer similar issues, massive fuel consumption for a mayfly use time.

[@SirKaldar]

If you want to help with the truck's steering issue when it's heavily loaded. You could extend the truck at the back and move the back axles further back, but leave the fifth wheel in the same place. That way the weight is spread better across all three "axles". As for the lag with the flat front of the trailer resting on the back of the truck. How about making a gooseneck trailer? It would be longer overall or hold less cargo, but there would be much less trailer in contact with the truck. Alternatively you could make the trailer taller and create space between the trailer deck and the back of the truck so that only the fifth wheel and kingpin are in contact.

[@tempelaars24]

Thinking about the trailer, you could use a sensor detecting a colored block to automatically bring up the legs of the trailer so you don't have to get out. You then could use a piston with the colored block to activate it from the cab. If you set it up so the colored block brings the legs up, and without it it puts them down you have a pretty nifty system.

[@ironknight4576]

Suggestion: Add lights on the wall to see farmbots more easily at night

[@Owl1214]

the ramps on top of the warehouse are invincable

[@kyleraymer8222]

You should put a backwards facing sensor on the peg of the trailer that senses when the locking pin on the truck is locked, that way you wouldn't have to get out of the seat to attach and detach the trailer. Also you could add more legs to the trailer on the back, to lift the wheels off the ground so that it stays in place while you try to reconnect it to the truck.

[@picklerick2322]

" I want to be able to be a hermit " -kan 2020

[@KurNorock]

Make a pad on the back of your truck and on the trailer. Make it out of low friction material also. I made a similar design and I used the larger pipes as pads since they only have like 3 friction. IT made a huge difference. The lower friction will also make backing the trailer up a lot easier.

Hey kan just a tip for collecting the farmer guys you can weld them to your vehicle instead of just beating them up with a hammer to get it into your car

[@coyote8585]

I am loving the truck it was looking very boss. Couple of suggestions for a bit more efficiency. Get the fruit at the far station loaded first so you're not having to drive heavy out and back, just back. What about an elevator ramp at the end? like button activated. one for lift and a second for down? also can you make the cab of the truck out of really heavy materials to help engage the steering wheels? or some sort of stiffer suspension to push those wheels against the ground so you don't lose so much steering? maybe the street shocks instead of the off-road ones? (I'm not sure what the operational difference is between the two sets.) Keep up the great work, I am loving the series and the videos.

[@RestartedRio]

[@Kinf00]

Hey kAN, you inspired me to build my own truck and trailer. Like you identified in this video, the flat surface of the back of the truck in contact with the flat surface of the trailer causes the lag. I solved it by removing all the center blocks from the trailer so the back contact area is a hollow box frame instead of a filled box. That pretty much eliminated the issue. I also put a sensor on the trailer behind the attachment peg so that when I lock the pin it triggers the sensor to raise my trailer pistons, and then when I retract the pin it puts the pistons back down to lift the trailer so I never have to get out of the seat to attach and detach the trailer. Works well.

[@Kinf00]

I also built my truck with a bearing engine so it doesn't use fuel and has basically unlimited torque.

[@trapperrayburn8124]

[@r.i.plucky4823]

You could build a boat out of farmers because you can weld them to your vehicle and pick it up

[@ryanchen8403]

Its called a saddle. Also if you decide to add rear wheel steering to your truck, please consider making them turn only a fraction of the front wheels. E.g. if front wheels are turning 90 degrees, the rear wheels should turn maybe 30 degrees. This would help to not make the system too sensitive. Also the turning issue with weight is very common . Moonbo also had that same problem, to a lesser extent than yours.

[@Dude13450]

Fuel consumption is based on three things: weight, grade of engine, gear you drive (aka what notch the engine is set to). The biggest factor is weight. Too little and you bounce around and have an extremely on or off contact patch with the ground, burning all your fuel in mad drifts, spinning tires in air, burning out, etc. Too much and you burn your fuel pulling a heavy load (physics, conservation of momentum and what not). Max fuel efficiency is somewhere in between the two. Only thing that doesn't seem affected are thrusters, they seem to burn a flat rate based on level and the selected thrust notch and just disregard any sort of weight factor. Also, if you have your vacuum pump deploy INTO the "nozzles" at the packing station, it will ONLY fire the crop for that selected packer. This makes it so you don't waste carrots by throwing them into the broccoli slot and also means less wasted time because you can just shove every crop you're transporting into the chest once, instead of having to go back over and over and over to restock your chest with the crop you want to pack next.

[@valderon3692]

Excellent.

[@undefinedones]

You could change your 5th wheel to adjust how the trailer rides but the simpler idea would probably be to lengthen the kingpin to bring the trailer up. Either way you will need to most likely bring the back end of the trailer up to keep it level.

[@canadiankaiser4539]

Kan I have a cheaper suggestion for protecting your base walls! Iballisticsquid figured out that if you use ramps the bots can’t break it, so if you grab ramps from warehouse roofs with a plane or flying vehicle it would be a simple and cheaper way to protect your base than using an automated machine.

[@cspinney13]

I tried adding a bearing on top of the "pin" and the turning radius of the truck is way better. I suggest you try that one simple fix and test it. Keep Surviving!

[@stevepittman3770]

You don't need rear wheel steering, just move the pin resting point forward of the rear wheels so the weight gets applied evenly to the front and rear wheels. Also rear wheel drive only might help with that as well.

[@sheller153]

Those murder holes are, to quote Shad, MACHICOLATIONS!!!

[@diabolicdrake]

You should put the trailer on a free-floating bearing, it will register as 1 entity and it will still have the same feeling of driving. The only difference (hardship) would be that it would be tedious to put the trailer on and off.

[@DoubleDeeYT]

There is so much done. I can forsee quite the future for this game

[@davidchupp2800]

A way you could possibly improve the trailer is putting a sensor right near the hitch mechanism facing down connected to the swinging legs that hold up the trailer so the legs engage automatically when you release the trailer and disengage when you back up into it

[@wolffe6044]

21:42 - There is a check. If you make physical contact (It will turn blue) between the vacuum to the packer you will only shoot out the correct fruit/veggie. You don't even need to worry about what is in the chest either. Just thow them all in the chest and the packer will take the correct item.
