I Built an Earthquake Generating Machine! [Instruments of Destruction]

[@potatolord045]

I recently made an earthquake generator that doesn't need mega impacts and still deletes buildings (with mega impacts it instantly deletes the hole map) i just stacked a bunch of weight blocks and upward facing pistons to pull them into the ground It was so heavy it pulled the ground anchor's quite far off the ground I highly recommend you try making one like this, its lots of fun and plenty of screen shake

[@lilyoftheflame]

Can you please put a link to the steam workshop page? I want to try this out.

[@pastrapatur1034]

Man gonna recreate 2010 earthquake

[@Someone-ho1ls]

Made one after scrapman made his vid on the hammer thing. Litterally used 8 doubled overdrive pistons to repeatidly smash the ground with a 100-200k kilos weight and it shredded buildings.

Upgrades for the earthquake machine, use logic to toggle on the sequence (attach wait destruction) and reverse the actions when the button is hit again.

[@pikator9153]

I wonder what would happen if you do a double or even a triple earth quake generater

[@gastonzamora4985]

I was thinking of this too, but with 2 wrecking balls out of sync to generate more shockwaves, instead of 2+ balls synced to generate bigger shockwaves

Hey

[@naofuminorikiya2527]

1 more month.

[@rigelstarz6032]

good luck

[@loczaczix]

You should have changed minimum distance on the piston to make it retract more and it would be hitting from longer travel

[@jackharveysaunders1125]

you could 10/10 time a bunch of these to go in series filling in the off beat/not shockwave generating hits for each other like a rolling set of shockeaves that would be pretty sick

[@pocarski]

The way it jumped at 17:34 made me think of an absurdly destructive pogo stick. Next video idea perhaps?

[@kalebwebb9328]

Would be cool to see the minimum distance changed to make it so less distance is required for impact (haven't watched the rest yet so might of happened)

[@nati0598]

Exactly, how is he expecting any oompf if there is no wind-up. The reinforced mode was better simply because it lifted the entire thing off the ground, effectively decreasing min distance.

[@michaelchen695]

It also kinda acts like a force field and launcher debris that is too close away.

[@Ninjagofan2300]

Day 247 of asking for more workshop hunters, and day 248 of asking for more brick rigs For all of you that wants any of these you can help too

[@minion112]

I loved workshop hunters

[@microtheguyfromearth]

Pretty sure you the same guy

[@the.other.ian.]

Haven't finished the video yet but I think this would work better if you lowered the minimum piston extension so it has time to build more momentum before hitting the ground.

[@destructive1864]

n o

[@wybewestra7050]

14:53 With the new logic parts, you could make it so the anchors automatically engage just before the earthquake mechanism starts. And then turn them off again some time after the mechanism stops. That way the order of operations is automatically correct :)

[@jianalexander1359]

Just a suggestion, You should add colors to your machines to make it look more complete

0:32 my jaw dropped Edit: 13:45 my jaw dropped for the second time. So satisfying

[@felixormond9792]

I could recommend a machine that could maybe fly directly up and come back down at super sonic speed piecing the ground with a pointy tip. To harness all of the energy into one small point of impact.

[@eyeofcthulhu530]

he already did that tho

[@avidviewer27]

He dit it already

[@vidarsoderman4536]

You could theoretically make the shockwaves come faster if you put two pistons and wrecking balls that go at the same time but one starts before the other one. So they are alternating. :)

[@kaedecygnus657]

The opening is very smooth 13:48 building tired living 15:08 coincidence 17:35 :O

[@tobawoobossam7198]

"alr i think the sma- the regular size piston is going to be the one we want"

[@insanebannanastyle]

Creation idea: A parasite type vehicle that digs into the middle and breaks it from the inside out

[@cooperowens5604]

add the gravity thing and pull the debris to you. I think that would be fun. love you videos, they always bring a smile to my face. keep up the amazing work. :)

[@javiercasas1565]

Why not try to do something like a pogo stick (not the actual shape) that jumps and then hits the ground with pistons when falling, that way you add the force of the pistons and gravity to make bigger shock waves.

[@smarty265]

scrapman sure made a vibrating ball

[@tortl9720]

this might be scrapman's sussiest but coolest episode yet

[@brettmacaulay397]

Was incredibly excited to see what I was suggesting be made. Next question can you smack two items together to make a shock wave like hulks thunder clap ?

[@yuiro1419]

This reminds me of the thumpers in Dune

[@Cooki3reaper]

from the way it reacted, i believe the bigger the item hitting the ground the bigger the shockwave, from the way the shockwave compared from just the wrecking ball hitting it, to ur entire creation hitting the ground

I thought about suggesting this a few hours ago but forgot. Happy to have my un-asked request fulfilled!

[@lycan_droid]

There were several times in the video where the buildings got launched by the shockwave with part of the building still intact, so what if you try to make a building levitate or get launched with just shockwaves?

[@V0IDEX]

We need more storm works gameplay

[@kalebwebb9328]

Furthermore, attaching a gravitational thing so the debris is pulled towards the impact creating an intense implosion/explosion simultaneously

[@masterroshi2158]

This idea needs to be scale to see if bigger and taller vehicle = bigger earthquakes and can you have one add multiple piston steel balls to see if it makes a difference

[@Roperational_YT]

Idea: A literal Crazy Train! It’s a normal train locomotive, (no tender), with 2 coaches! Train- instead of steam it’s cannon balls that come out of the funnel, the driving wheels can drop or throw mines. First Coach- shoots cannons on both sides of the coach. Second Coach- same as the first except it’s lasers. The main idea is to go to one side then drive past the frontside of the buildings while shooting the cannons and lasers to destroy the buildings while moving or not moving! Hope ScrapMan sees this!

[@mystifoxtech]

15:27 that building is just cursed. It can randomly explode, attack other buildings, and launch random pieces in random directions. It's a running theme now.

[@leoagain_]

an interesting concept could be a controlled vortex so nothing outside of the building is damaged and the debris is collected to be dumped in the ocean to show supportfor plastic pollution

[@leoagain_]

i dont know if this is even possible but idk worth a shot i guess

[@wilion8865]

Could you generate the shockwaves by hitting two parts of the same construction? I think that if that is possible, you can make very powerful shockwave generators in small spaces.

[@kfplaysgames]

Make one of those jack hammer escavator things

[@bvs4064]

12:32 sometimes there are double shockwaves, medium and slightly bigger medium. there are also medium and slightly bigger mediums that might happen, it makes two different sized shockwaves

[@Dr.Observation]

The shockwave hammer at 0:33 reminds me of Fencer's Vibro Hammers and Vulcan Hammers in the game Earth Defence Force 4.1, these cc strikers weapons destroy buildings very easily and are very good for giant insects "crowd control" (killing multiple at once)

[@modernmarksmn]

Reminds me of the gravity hammer in halo

[@Dr.Observation]

@@modernmarksmn never played that game. _one Google search later_ oh yeah it's basically the same thing as a Vulcan Hammer but a lot weaker (the Vulcan Hammer ZD does 12k damage in one hit AND 90% damage reduction for the user during the swing animation)

[@madman_jackson8507]

You should make something that could slice through all the building in a row

[@Sabera_Longsword]

This counts as a win for me, said to build a jackhammer quite a bit ago. And now he’s onto this. See nothing but a win on this. Nice video by the way man!

[@Fleshyguy1407]

Try making a hover vehicle using magnets and magnetic plates.

[@MrLarsgren]

wonder how effect would change if you widen the attachment point and add a extra wrecking ball on each side

[@O5-a]

dear scrapman , I made your scrap mechanic survival flyer , ty for your inspiration , I will put it on the workshop for all the fans who want to try it without needing to know how to glitch suspensions , especially new players. thx again for the inspiration you gave me ~Christian

[@wordsforname6054]

So, two ideas, try replacing the ball with a spike and put 4 of them on your vehicle. Another idea, try putting the vibrating mechanism on your earthquake missile, it seems to be way stronger.

[@tjsvlogsanddogs1246]

its more like a building evaporator

[@SoulReaper-yz8dl]

try adding more of the thing that creates the shockwaves to it cause it might make more shockwaves at a time and do more damage. You should also make a flying version where it floats above and drops and just disintegrates the building.

[@cetomedo]

I think you underutilized the settings on the piston quite a bit. The min and starting position levers would also change the average position of the piston while under oscillation, which would fix the problem of high strength settings not reaching the ground. Not sure how exactly it would affect it, but putting the starting and min positions to as close to the ground as possible without touching should at least have some interesting effect on it.

[@FundyTheAstronaut]

MANS GOT THORS HAMMER Edit: yup, like a thermonuclear bomb

[@jaebob]

That was extremely satisfying

[@JohnDVil]

You should next use shockwaves to make a pogostick of death.

[@oblivion098]

I think the obvious thing to do here is put as many of the earthquake machines as you can together so we can see what that can do.

[@7arl5]

0:40 "see those buildings over there?" scrapman: "what buildings"

[@SmokeDrake]

Build a magnet cannon that slams a large metal ball (Or any roundish object(s)) into the ground to create a massive shock wave.

[@Ncswansons]

I think you should make some sort of machine to clean up the mess of debris

[@mattymerr701]

I think the issues were to do with physics engine FPS and the relation between speed and stroke length. It seems like the physics engine doesn't do too many inter-frame... frames. So what happens is the strike is above the ground in one frame, then the next it has gone all the way down and now has come back up so the engine doesn't detect that as a hit. A solution might be to have a way longer stroke so it ends up inside the ground, colliding, for longer? This is all just guess work though.

[@CallMe_Kaioh]

Try making a vehicle that floats on water, and then attach the earthquake generator on it. And get 3 Earthquake generators and use logic to make them go one after the other producing constant shockwaves.

[@JohnStewart73]

It would be interesting to see this machine with more than piston!

[@deathgreaper1684]

You should try using one of those super heavy feet instead of a wrecking ball, more weight might make for more violent earthquakes.

[@Skyblade12]

I wish you would test the destructive power of it without the grippers on the buildings. That one hit seemed way more powerful. How many could it take out?

[@FoxDog1080]

The reinforced shockwaves seem to be more horizontal and less bubble-y

[@weeveferrelaine6973]

Can you use more ground anchors, or stronger ones? What seemed to be making the second impact stronger was that your vehicle was lifting up on the first impact, but on the second, it was falling a little bit. Stronger ground anchors probably means stronger piston collision

[@MaxVerstapenGOAT]

Brilliant video as always Keep up the good content ScrapMan

[@xavierjiang7112]

I think the amount of mass during the impact(s) is what that affects the range. which does make sense. For maximum impact you could build a immensely heavy vehicle and figure out a way to launch it into the air (and have it slam down), not unlike a jumping jack

[@tnapeepeelu]

That first "free roam jackhammer" was like an inch worm of death

[@Chris-ok4zo]

Hey, I suggested this back in the first 2 shockwave videos. Yay.

[@uhohmemebiggestboy212]

The machine falling to the ground and slamming the ground perfectly timed by accident near the end of the video gave me an idea Your rocket that slammed into the ground but put a piston on the tip so just before it hits it slams the ground with added force of the rocket massive shockwave

[@leuman3104]

It not just about speed, its about weight and tempo. If you have 2 or 3 pistons runing like a engine with good weight thats gonna work

[@avidviewer27]

3:20 I see you have constructed the ultimate pogo stick.

[@danimedina4969]

Physics would say yes. But does Instruments of Destruction physics say yes? His old videos on the shockwaves made it seem like the needle point didn't make it worse but made it easier to hit precise locations
