I Built a Trailer With a Crane For Retrieving Caged Farmers! (Scrap Mechanic Survival Ep.18)

Hey everyone back with more Scrap Mechanic Survival! Today we are finally going to build a dedicated trailer with a crane on it for capturing and retrieving our lost farmer friends! This trailer works with our transport truck and comes with a built in crane for lifting and storing farmers!

For anyone who had trouble getting this to work, here are some detailed instructions... First row of gates: "OR" / "AND"/ "NOR" Second row: "OR" / "NOR" Third row: "AND" / "AND" Controller Row: "SWITCH" / "BUTTON" / "BUTTON" In the first row: Connect the "OR" gate to the "AND' gate, then the "AND' gate to the "NOR" gate, and then the "NOR" gate to the "OR" gate. That will give you a pulsing loop. In the second row: Connect the "NOR" gate from the first row to the "OR" gate and the "NOR" gate in the second row. In the third row: Connect the "OR" gate from the second row to the1st "AND" gate in the third row, now connect the "NOR" gate from the second row to the 2nd "AND" gate in the third row. In the controller row: Connect the "SWITCH" and both "BUTTONS" to the driver chair. Now connect the #1 "SWITCH" to the "AND" gate in the first row, then both the "AND" gates in the third row. Now connect the #2 "BUTTON" to the "NOR" gates in the first and second rows. Now connect the #3 button to the "OR" gates in the first and second rows. Now make an array of two pistons with one block in between them. Example: "BLOCK" / "PISTON" / "BLOCK" / "PISTON" / "BLOCK". Now connect the First (one on the left) "AND" gate in the third row to the inner most "PISTON" on the piston array, now connect the 2nd "AND" gate (the one on the right) in the third row to the outer most "PISTON" on the piston array. Remember to set all the pistons to the exact same settings for the best result. Now get in the driver chair, the control should work like this: "SWITCH" #1 should turn off the pulsing loop and retract the pistons. "BUTTON" #2 should retract the pistons, and "BUTTON" #3 should extend the pistons. Hope this helps...

I just saw this as he said it

[@element9224]

If the trailers get pushed back when you try to connect them, you should replace the bottom block of the trailer legs with a higher friction materiel.

[@chernobylman9183]

Yah T Thung

[@Acecool]

@@tthung8668 The mannequin legs have more friction.

[@Acecool]

Also, the weight seems to be related to the number of individual 1x1 blocks that makes up something... so if a block takes up 10x10 then 2 weight means it weights 200 1x1 blocks... So the friction of a mannequin leg may be super high since it is higher than a wheel and it isn't a 5x5x2 ( or 3 ) for the big, and 3x3x2? for the small... the leg is only 1x2 or so... Now, in real life the way friction works on wheels is the piece connecting to the ground uses static friction regardless of if it is moving or not. If you accelerate it too fast and it overcomes static friction then it slides.. otherwise the vehicle moves.

[@samanderson3937]

T thing - the wheels are free floating

I wanted to share some information regarding garment boxes. There are a total of 82 different clothing. You unlocked 26 last time I believe. So you have 56 more. I think you can get them all from common garment boxes (but don’t quote me on that). So you might only need 280, or you might need quite a bit more.

[@rhysdenno5993]

In that case what would even be the point of the rarer boxes?

[@thecrazyinsanity]

No you cant get epic rare or uncommon stuff from common boxes and vice versa.

[@hakermanreal]

"i think you can get all from common garment boxes" "they called me a madman"

[@lukemcgarr6127]

You only get common from common, rare from rare, epic from epic. Once you have unlocked all of a type, for example I had unlocked all rare boxes, I could not open any more rare boxes however I could still unbox any epic or common. Now that I have all clothes I cannot open any other boxes.

[@doeglangolden3660]

The rarer the box the better the clothes but it's possible to get some common clothes then you won't get anymore

[@bobrossismygod767]

[@dubl33_27]

I got a pretty good idea for activating some light on the trailer so you can see your trailer cargo at night. Ao you replace the t piece on thw trailer hitch with a level 5 sensor facing forward and then select a color for it to detect. On the truck head hitching system, replace the "walls" of the inside of it with a pistin that raises a "wall" with the color you selected in the sensor and xonnect the piston to a switch or button. Now connect the sensor to whatever on the trailer and you got trailer lights controlled from the driver seat.

Build a platform on the top of your wall with a ramp that can be lowered for driving in and out. Then you can turn the under side into your house. That way turning around inside your base can be left to the small vehicles while the truck sits up top with easy exiting.

You should really address the understeer on your big rig. you could move your back wheels further back, add a whole bunch of metal to the front, or knowing you, you could do some crazy dynamic braking system that brakes one set of wheels when turning a certain way.

[@commenzator]

Hey Kan - Nice ideas. I built a car which has active vertical sawblades in the front and sides. The back is covered with flat sawblades. The car framework is small with double tires, as the saws are large. Suspension on each wheel has to upgraded 3 times. The SawCar works flawlessly, I can drive around anywhere and mow all the bots to smithereens. It's also great for defending farms. Simply drive around your plot and shred everything. It also destroys whole trees in next to no time. Would be nice to see you make one as they are most awesome.

Hi Kan, if You make your trailer 17 wide you can fit two farmers next to each other and have capacity of 14 farmers also i've got same setup for hooking up a trailer and there is simple solution to solve your sliding trailer issue during hooking up. You just need to make legs 1 block longer and add another block of height clearence on truck hooking part (either raise the part with pipes or dig 1 block lower) then adjust the trailer pin if needed it works perfecty for me.

[@marshallkerper7536]

I have a theory that I can't test rn because of missing school work but I believe that if you put a suspension on the pin it would allow for the trail to be higher up than the front so the front wheels would have my friction allowing for better turning _

You should turn your semi truck into a multi purpose truck by adding a built-in bed with foldable sides that is flush with the fifth wheel (also extend the truck chassis) with the ability of converting into a normal truck by detaching the trailer then unfolding the side panels

[@16nsva16]

You could try to make the truck latching mechanism rotate freely on a bearing that's between the truck and latch or put a free bearing on the trailer hitch to help with turning

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

[@zackaryschwindt1190]

You should build steering on the trailers and when you go to hook up a trailer you have to take out your conection tool to hook the steer up to the seat. Like hooking up lights on a real trailer but your hooking up a steering axel.

[@star-lord4208]

This was very satisfying. I love it when a build comes together. I still don't quite get the point of the shakeweight pistons. I understand that the result is the end block doesn't move, but I don't see why it's necessary. Why not just use a single piston?

Make a sensor under the trailer with colur setting to pull up the legs when the trailer is locked to the truck, and deploy it when you unlock it So you don’t need to get out of the truck to push the button on the trailer every time (The trailer have to rotate around the sensor so when it locked it doesn’t get out of position and deploy the legs when you turn)

Might help to use blocks with a low friction stat on your fifth wheel/kingpin mechanism. Not sure if that would make a difference, but reduced friction seems reasonable
