I Built an Autopilot Cargo Ship for Torpedo Sub Target Practice! (Scrap Mechanic Gameplay)

Back again with more Scrap Mechanic! Today we are back looking at an epic automated cargo ship! This ship was built for use with the torpedo submarine in order to have a target that is no longer stationary! This cargo ship uses a shore tracking autopilot system to automatically drive around the map to allow us to test other ships against it!

Multiplayer Monday: Self driving battleship with spudgun turrets vs cardboard bomber planes

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

We don't need them to be cardboard and spudguns, there is a mod that adds several explosive ones including an anti-air, though I recommend the fast explosive spudgun, or if you're accurate, a tank spud gun.

[@Mike817]

Your creativity is off the chart! How about making a carnival-style shooting gallery -- ducks on a wheel, doors pop open/close with targets behind them, moving targets, etc. Maybe something that automatically keeps score. Difficulty levels could affect required reaction time to hit targets. Might be interesting competition for multiplayer Mondays.

[@gri150]

Kan, you can use fant mod to remove the water in the submarine

[@robertbalazslorincz8218]

But he would have to redesign the submarine

[@totoryf4422]

@@robertbalazslorincz8218 he can just place them under it

[@ITpanda]

Sensors to sense incoming torpedoes and attempt to dodge would be cool. Maybe steer the the direction of torpedo to limit the area that it can hit. A randomly selected speed (number of thrusters to fire, or a random delay) could add a bit of realism, by simulating a late detection occasionally. Also having timers that switched which bank is being tracked, might add more realism and make it harder to predict it's movements. Finale thought, having the ships release depth charges to counter incoming torpedoes might also make it interesting. A sensor with a timer could fire ignite and fire off explosive charges to hopefully force torpedo to detonate early.

[@ryangeissberger279]

This would make a really good multiplayer Monday, where they all build custom submarines with identical torpedo firing missiles as this and then they use the transport ship and person with the least time with the ship wins

[@johnemanuel6297]

Got a great idea for a challenge. Hunt the transport ship by land, sea, and air. Best time or least amount of shots required. Great concept and execution. Congrats on the successful build.

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

what do you call a short version of kAN? a leporKan

[@CHECKERCE]

Dude you definitely have to make some sonar thing with a rotating sensor to map your surroundings, to be able to see the sub when you are in the cargo ship. Then you can do a multiplayer battle. I know that this idea has probably a lot of issues, like lag, and sensor range limits but it would be awesome if you somehow figured this out

[@Dozav7]

The display would be huge.

[@fallenwallgaming3932]

oh what would be cool is an anti-aircraft ship that auto drives while you use mounted spud guns to defend from bombers.

[@hypermind15]

Maybe for MM

[@omni057]

I think you'd really enjoy From the Depths were you can let your creativity and logic turn into some awesome destruction!

[@Madnessnunky]

Idea: self driving destroyer for the opposite shore. You sit in the turret and try to take down the cargo ship as you pass opposite directions. Bonus points for stationary shoreline targets, like a dock or prop vehicles.

[@kolowski13]

Since a MM with a sub vs boat might be too laggy for multiplayer to handle, maybe have a shooting gallery-ish competition where you build explosive launchers on the shore and have someone in a boat trying to last as long as possible. Also I think something better to do for boats is to group up the floatation blocks with explosives in only a couple locations on the boat, that way you have a lot of the boat left over but the explosives ruin it's boyancy and you get the nice visual of the boat sinking below the waves. Love the videos Kan!

[@maxwellgulyas6444]

You should totally do this as an MM challenge, put depth charges on the cargo ship and have one team on the sub and one on the boat

[@royfitts2494]

To fix the lifting to one side, lower you thrusters to the water line, where the water line is in the middle of your thrusters. That really goes for any boat builds.

[@ReusableRocket]

i can just imagine in the middle of ww2, where one side is in a submarine and they see the enemy ship and they’re like “fire all torpedoes dead ahead!” then the people on the ship just see a massive underwater explosion several miles away

[@SonOfmowgef]

I really wouldn't mind seeing a build like this but with a vertical (or somewhat vertical) lunching weapon, something more like a missile than a torpedo. I just think it would be extremely cool to see it being launched from underwater then breach out and arc back down to hit a target. Although I gotta admit that sounds like a ridiculously difficult shot to make. Maybe Kan could try it on a building of some sort, maybe a dock or harbor, to fit the theme?

[@svenyboyyt2304]

To stop torpedos exploding while in the submarine, put a sensor on the back that has to be more than 10 blocks away for it to explode

[@Dozav7]

Or have a sensor to confirm an open door before launch.

[@mateuszorodzinski500]

Kan if you want to slow down thruster you must place some "and" logic gates and conect them to each others. Conect final "and" gate to the "nor" gate and "nor" gate to the first "and" gate you will make a big loop. Next all the "and" logic gates conect to the "or" gate. If you make it, conect thruster to the "or" gate. Now the thruster won't work all the time, but pulsing. If you want to slow down it you must adding "and" gates, but if you want to make it faster, just delate "and" gates :).

[@ADonutMan]

Water physics is a placeholder for now and one the main issues is how it updates creations on physics ticks, it was made dynamic, so game decides itself wether or not to update physics on every tick, so you don't det all tiles updating water physics every tick and destroy your pc, but it's very inconsistant. I hope devs get rid of that placeholder soon, since we are going to get propper subs working (with leaks, pressure in deep, etc.), dynamic weather (so game itself will generate wave size depending on weather), also in there were references of decompression sickness if character is not in creation but it's most likely to not be included

Here's a tip: NEVER fire torpedoes at right angles. They're way harder to aim and time that way. I think for an MM challenge, equip a copy of the cargo ship blueprint with AI AA guns, spawn in like 3-8 of the AA equipped ships, then use and/or modify a blueprint from the past to sink as many of those ships as possible.

[@thenightfurychannel2582]

YES YES YES, have another person drive the ship and you (kan) try to take some shots at the ship. (But as teams)

[@Anders-ps5wj]

[@royfitts2494]

Should do multiplayer Monday using your torpedoes and launchers. everyone builds a boat and just welds/incorporates your torpedo system to them.

[@Chexmix6]

MM idea: Cardboard Sub vs. Wooden Boat! 1 in a sub (like KAN's, but cardboard, less bombs as in 1 every so often so there aren't chain reactions, and more torpedos) and 2-3 people manning the boat (1 driving and the rest shooting spud turrets) Please:D

MM idea. Hide and seek with big sub shooting at smaller boats around the map

[@eddielowe8189]

ships never blow up totally from one shot, I would remove most of the explosives and leave the rest spaced out round the hull, this would then make the ship sink like a real boat. Very cool idea you made

[@walterkrt8299]

Maybe you can put some deployable mines for the cargo ship that sit below the surface and explode when the submarine gets close. You could play MultyMon, and have one person driving and the other deploying the mines, and the last one has to use the submarine and destroy the cargo ship. Faster one wins!

[@PainlessSiren]

you should make remove some of the explosives in the center of the ship, so a torpedo will only blow up half of the ship, I feel like that would be a lot more satisfying than having the entire ship just detonate completely with 1 torpedo

[@prime-aerospace]

Now you need like underwater mines that are held down by chains and if a torpedo or a ship/sub collided with it itll do the big boom

[@blauelilie2049]

Oh PVP with this sounds awesome

[@EnnesArms]

I think you can fix the listing issue by dividing the bubble block base with a line of concrete

[@andre21198]

I think it would be super cool if you could calibrate the explosives on the transport ship (aka Liberty Ship) such that they only take out the bubble block but leave the hull mostly intact

I wonder if you could simplify the sub and ship a little to get the framerate up... Could then allow a third vehicle for some sort of sub hunting game. Timers on explosives as depth charges perhaps?

[@griffinmartin6356]

you should do torpedo battles with moonbo and scrapman and two of you have to sink a boat. also have all the floatation stuff at the surface of the water and maybe the boat has extra explosives. you could also add vacuum pumps to the torpedo and then make them place concrete.

I have an idea for a sinkable ship now this ship just blows up when an explosion gets triggered What if you made 'sensors' in the hull that triggered spudguns destroying the bubble block? bigger/more holes means more shooting spudguns That way the ship is actually sinking

[@MrLarsgren]

very nice builds. the balance thing can be because its 1 big slab of bubble blocks. scrap calculate it like 1 mass. also why it sometimes can sit in a 45´angle in the water. try making a X in middle with tier 3 wood so it divide it in 4 squares. have you tried a pulse setup with logic to control the thruster speed ?
