HOW TO MAKE A BASIC IRRIGATION SYSTEM! | Scrap Mechanic Survival Machines

I've had a lot of people asking for a video on how to make the basic irrigation system I use. So here it is! I haven't made a video like this in a long time, but I hope its helpful.

This is a series on the machines I make in my gameplay playlist. Whenever I get a large amount of comments asking for more info on it, I'll probably make a video in this series about it!

This is a separate series from the gameplay. People asked for more info on the irrigation system I did, so here's a tutorial. I'll be adding other videos in the future on other things from that series.

[@andrewspencer4734]

Great tutorial man, I love watching your videos and they really help me in the game. Keep up the great work!

[@catnip2055]

how about u do that to auto plant and auto harvest too :D

[@juliodearaujo690]

Please, more videos like this one. You are awesome!

[@mrreinark3388]

@@catnip2055 It would be the same mechanic that is shown in the video

[@lukewei]

I'm actually glad you took time to make a video like this, some of your experimentation has yielded good results, and as a scientist, i think it is better that we can share what we learned about the game.

[@kingme9841]

This guy has one of the fastest upload schedule

[@unixity2]

Yeah like 1000 mbps a second to freakim upload

[@piethon2903]

What about dinkster daily

[@kangdakong3398]

I found your channel couple days ago immediately subbed and started binge watching your entire sms series. Finally caught up tonight and then boom new video pops up. Your upload schedule must be draconian. You deserve every single ounce of support you’ve received and more. Quality commentary and humour along with exemplary skills make for an extremely enjoyable watching experience. I’ll be watching you’re older videos now( gonna be starting with subnautica) and I’m sure I’ll love them too. Thanks for the hours of entertainment you’ve provided us all with during these somewhat boring times stuck at home. Really appreciate your dedication to your videos.

[@GradivusAres]

Thank you J0hn. I really appreciate you taking the time to go more in-depth with some of your builds. Great job. Can't wait to set one of these up

[@henriqueferreira279]

Way simpler than other designs i have seen! That was amazing and clean! Thank you

[@ailehunter]

You have the simplest water system compared to other people. xD Some have intense logic gate/controller /switch action. With an added bonus of also collecting the plants. Some just use a giant ballista of water cannons to fire onto the field.... But yours is the best for simplicity sake, and you can even extend it to a large field as well. Assuming you're near a water source.

Its the cleanest design i've seen so far.

[@angelusmortis3256]

That is probably the most simplistic irrigation system I've seen yet... and it works perfect... safe for lift crushers too... nice... totally setting this up tonight after work...

[@RemoraDFC343]

Your clarifications were great. This is a very good starter irrigation video. Players can learn and grow their knowledge from this. Good job. Thank-you

[@jarrettupton57]

Best watering system I've seen. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@catsmr]

Thanks so much for this! You did a great job explaining the setup.

[@SamU6338]

thank you so much for making this videos it helps a lot. i keep on refer back to your other videos before but couldnt understand the logic gate and now i know a bit more better. thank you again.

[@kaitchi7196]

this is amazing dude, good job

[@m4ck3r2010]

Awesome video, thanks I have been waiting for you to go through this build 👍

[@legobuilder3578]

Thank you very much been watch since the start of survival these building vids give me a understanding of hoe controllers work and the building having to be attached i never knew for wiring water

[@bradjohn9710]

Loving the scrap mechanics! Hoping the next hydroneer episode is coming soon! Keep it up!

[@WabacControl]

Awesome, thank you, this system works like a charm. Great video tutorial, too. Looking forward to more!

[@pugman1543]

perfect vid not in the dark like sometimes when people do theses vids .awsome what i need

[@RaqRedOX]

Thank you Very much, I'm quite new to scrap mechanic because I bought it a few months ago thinking survival was a thing and forgot it wasn't and just got into it Because of survival and had no clue of what I was doing so this helped a lot!

[@DenHaag070yamal]

thank you so much for uploading this video because im very new in Scrap Mechanic and dont understand how controllers and logic gates really work but this helped me really out!!

[@ddssrr1614]

Great tutorial man. Well explained & easy to follow.

[@yahazek]

I’ve had a different water system for a while but I wanted something that doesn’t require logic or timers and stuff for my new world so this sensor idea is actually perfect. Ty

[@russthebastard]

I love these , Kan's stuff is impressive...but also daunting..im new to the game and still learning what to do..with your builds i can actually see myself building them (love the bearings car!) whilst i cant imagine how i'd create piston mechs etc

[@LegendEternal]

Great vid. Clear and concise. Awesome tutorial!

[@korybrager3628]

[@Reoh0z]

Plenty clear mate thanks for doing a video like this.

[@Zach014G]

thank you so much!!!! i was having a food issue with using buckets and this tutorial was really smooth and to the point :) thanks so much!!

[@RedDead-rl9nf]

Your outstanding you listen to your comments you upload fast and you make sure that you clarify everything you possibly can

[@brettanderson6490]

The pistons need to be at max level to reach 15 range

[@dugly5346]

Thank you for saying that! I was really lost as to why I couldn't get to that 15 range!! Was getting so frustrated lolol

[@handsomejack4947]

They added that in an update. You used to be able to do whatever you want w/ a piston as long as it was hooked to a controller

[@starlight.productions]

@@handsomejack4947 you are still able to do that in creative , not in survival tho.

[@leebannister3759]

This was great. Do more videos like these. This video + pumping water video were so helpful today

[@jimb6117]

Excellent Thank's for this I can't understand why people disliked it as you clearly stated what the video was about, a great dummy proof water system for us newbie's.

[@dantedoomsday]

Amazing irrigation system you built.

[@gamingandlifeonwheels2104]

i am from germany and really was looking for so much of this tutorials . and yours was really easy to follow. ty for that :-) and btw its the cheapest. so i like that , too ^^

[@chasedanzenbaker2430]

Yay 2 episodes!

[@lorgrenbenirus]

Thanks, good tutorial, tried it and it worked right away :)

[@n3cc0_]

Awesomeness has occurred in this video.

[@aadharsh1997]

The scorpion miner is a pretty simple design but super effective

[@sn5653]

did this and modified it a little, now i have a farm that auto harvest and plant crops in a push of a button. Its easy to understand, no other difficulties or whatever in logic gates, very simple, like it

[@nickc1204]

Good system. Cheap, easy and efficient compared to the others I've seen. I will like and subscribe.

[@steveheffner]

Thanks for the video. I used this in survival for a 3x3 farm so I could use just rank 1 pistons and also keep from having to deal with bots atm. Currently in survival piston rank 1 only goes to a max of 7 (I have mine set to 6) also the speed is effected by the rank but it is watering so I don't care and it is a small farm. Don't forget to hook the controller to the 2 pistons. :)

[@rudolfhalabi8069]

Very helpful video... keep the good stuff...😃😃👍🏻👍🏻

[@shaharshapira2209]

thanks man its help alot ild use this so much times

[@eugeniocolon3172]

Beautifully made irrigation systems. I love them! Is there any way, that you can add another chip, so that the water pump won't repeat its steps back to its base, so it'll just retract directly back to base?

[@DB4KK]

released 5 mins ago. people in comments: great video!

[@candybarmars2294]

They didn't lie.

[@the_onlynope7438]

Well this is a great video

[@DB4KK]

I'm just saying the video was released 5 minutes ago and is 10 minutes long.

[@psychkick666]

Thanks, got it working after like 2 hours

[@jeremykothe2847]

tip: for your second one, you don't need the physical timing structure or the sensors, just upgrade your controller and attach the pistons for the new plot and it'll fire in sync with the first plot.

[@s1r0lf64]

I did that, works good!!

[@Mersoh]

put the piston that pushes 15-15-0-0 on a rail system and put a second water cannon system on the opposite side and you can expand this to 100 plots per water cannon. I'm currently watering 160 farm plots with only 2 logic gates, 1 controller, 5 pistons and 2 water cannons. It's incredible how scaleable this is.

[@MrFi9]

Great video. Very helpfull thanks 👍

[@davidnyou87]

You are amazing John I want to learn all the cool stuff you made from the previous episode Please can you make a tutorial on your tree grabber eater and your scorpion miner

[@holygamer2821]

Im totally setting this up when i get home.

[@strati5phere]

I think we skipped a step, connecting the pistons to the controller

[@seanrobertson1049]

Thanks! My first time using a controller, so I didn't know why my work didn't match the video!

[@astick4933]

Hu didn't even notice

[@cosmicjoker1617]

Thank you very much for this.

[@Storam3]

Perfect Thanks!

[@RynkaDarkness1212]

Forgot to add the part where you link the controller to the pistons and now you have to upgrade the pistons to level 5 so that you can increase the range to 15 which you need to complete this lol. Sat here like a spaz for awhile looking for what I had done wrong till I figured it out lol. Thank you though this is an amazing walkthrough!!

[@creepergamerkid8031]

Thank you so much! This was really helpful. However my pistons are glitching and spazzing out so my attemp missed the first two plots.

[@majmiko5440]

I tried so hard it didnt work (maybe cuz not upgraded pistons to max or smth) and failed to do a 5x6 plot but i did 4x6 and THANK YOU even tho it didnt work as planned im still thankful cuz it worked at all.

[@contained_3309]

Good content keep it up

[@120joejoe]

Hey you can attach a chest to a vacuum pump in the chemical ponds and it'll suck up chemical, i just found this out today, was gettkng frustrated having to use buckets, so i decided to probablem solve, im going to try oil nodes next

[@scottish785]

OK I think I know whats missing. You set up the two logic gates and connect the controller but I don't see where you connected the 2 pistons to as you only discuss the LG's and Controller and switch and censors before you open the controller setting which in my case is empty of settings as the 2 pistons have yet to be hooked up. Where do I hook up piston 1 (Edge of the garden) and piston 2 (Snakes the garden)???? Thanks

[@Robert-pm2df]

thx man

[@Schmeedle]

THANK YOU

[@glenncampbell4919]

How well are you with logic gates? could you do a tutorial for just logic gates because i'm thinking of doing my saw wall with less saws, instead of say 12 saws use only 4 and those 4 move back and forth in a loop once you press the button once.

[@atlas4733]

The controller glitch no longer works. You need a piston lvl 4 and 5 now. Still works great and is still one of the cleanest and simplest :)

[@delvideki2918]

question: so f i make the same build with 2 lvl 5 pistons it will work? nothing else needs to be changed? Im new to the game and learning.

[@j0hnbane]

Correct

[@delvideki2918]

Thank you

[@juanis6442]

Does someone know how to get the water up the mountain? Or u just have to manually take it? Thank you

[@grannyswatchingu7060]

Where would I find your twitch schedule for streaming

[@user-yd8xy6yf9m]

офигенно мужик, спасибо тебе!

[@richparry12]

i set it up just like yours i think . it runs the track but only waters every other glass block. the and lights up for every block ?

[@Krebzonide]

If you planted that whole hill at once would you basically be guaranteed a boss? I think scrap man got one on the second night with around 100 and you have like 180 plots there.

[@MartinVaupell]

was building a base similar to yours, and found a issue. On my way back when the raid was starting, and on the appreach the mobs spawned INSIDE my farms, even though like you i tested they should spawn outside. I am guessing they are spawning a distance from the player, not the actual farm they are raiding, as a result when i was approaching the base they spawned ahead of me as the map loaded. :(

[@habaz7838]

Could this be done using less controllers and logic gates if each separate "sprinkler" is wired into the original sensors, logic, and controller? I guess at that point it becomes a "cost" comparison of building lower level items vs upgrading controllers and such to higher levels.

[@owenjohnson9174]

december 2023, works, you just need to up your physics settings to advanced to mitigate the piston drop, it will launch on its own once the piston lengths are set up in the control, but just wait, leave the switch OFF, then once it goes back to its normal position, hit the switch and should work!

[@larsz1290]

Love ya vids

[@scottish785]

Somehow I am missing something. I set it up exactly as you have it just switched the direction the pistons flow meaning instead of piston 1 being on the right with piston 2 moving off piston one but to the left I flipped that so piston 1 is going left with piston 2 going off piston 1 to the right but when I get to the controller set up it just says not in use like either you missed a step in the video OR I have something not set right but I am pretty sure it's identical to yours.

[@Dumber0]

tnx for this

[@jjzigen0120]

tihs is really very helpful thank you for this. I hope you don't mind if I copy this setup :D

[@nealpapworth5151]

I followed the instructions with everything up to switching on with both sensors connected and once it reaches the end it stutters back and forth at the end between the sensor and the last glass block. Any solution or is this just a bug, because as soon as I switch it off, the water pump returns to the start. (Fixed!)

[@dorkstorm2448]

Did some testing and if you turn the xor to xnor it wont do the startup buggy thing.

[@singefrost4442]

ok, finally found the part you left out, which is where both pistons get connected. However very briefly at 9:41 your camera shows Pistion 1 and piston 2 connected directly to the controller. I tried connecting the pistons one each to a logic gate and my water cannon went all wacko and water like 3 random plots.

[@eternity449]

your farm is so pretty

[@Slushieee__]

how do i make this work for an 8x8 farm?

[@tinacoladasiv]

YESSS, Thank you! Crying of happiness atm... brb (':

[@Jay-fy4zy]

So how do I get me system to return if my "gantry" goes out, moves over a couple crops and then back again. If it basically returns to the same spot, how do i get it to restart? Because with the ending sensor in place it basically thinks it at the end and the beginning so that's not working.

[@undue684]

I'm having the same problem

[@simonecottura3346]

I just adopted your system and i love it. The only problem is that, using exactly all your settings (i made copy and paste for everything) and at the end of the job the system get stuck and keep shooting the last place under the second sensor. Could you help me to fix it pls? Something wrong is happening. Thank you and excellent job!

[@LobosWolfen]

Same thing happened to me. Be sure the second sensor is set to the "switch" mode.

[@Misty.mystify]

That dude is awesome

[@emmanuellopez9304]

I don't know why but to me the piston keeps coming back again and again to its initial position, I built 2 and one worked but the second one does that to me and I don't understand why if I did it the same

[@benpenney2123]

I was having this issue because I connected the AND logic gate to the Controller and not the XOR logic gate... took me waaaay too long to work that out.

[@plazmabeam638]

Is this a mod or survival mode only?
