New Castle Tower With Folding Draw Bridge! - Scrap Mechanic Survival Mode [SMS 42]

Welcome to another episode of Scrap Mechanic Survival Mode! Today is another Base Building episode! After another few hours of mining, I have plenty more concrete to expand the castle with a guard tower over the draw bridge! I also modify the draw bridge so it folds now!

If you don’t like how the support looks for the folding bridge, you could have a piston raise the support from the water when the switch is pressed, so that it’s hidden when the draw bridge is raised :)

[@tacklesmackle4690]

Nice idea but pistons are quite weak, maybe 2 to 3 of them would be able to handle the weight but piston is still one of the most glitchiest parts in the game, one wrong more and your pistons is across from the sky flying and twitching violently.

The support of the drawbridge that prevents the fold to collapse under the weight of a vehicle can be attached to the tower itself underwater and put it on a piston so that it sinks under water when the bridge is up and so that it gets pushed up when the drawbridge is lowered.

[@ItsLumcraft]

Instead of having a fixed bridge support in the water, you could build 2 support legs on the bridge itself that fold out when the bridge goes down and touch the sea floor when the bridge is folded out completely. This eliminates the danger of totebots destroying the support of the bridge.

[@terra_6978]

The easier thing to do would be make the support out of bubble wrap or glass and paint it blue.

if you dont want the support thing sticking out of the water you could maybe have some support legs that fold down from the bridge itself as the bridge folds down, or an easyer solution might be to join the current support to the base and have that fold up and down as needed, hope this helps, also the castle is looking great, good job.

[@terra_6978]

Or you could just make the support out of concrete and paint it blue so it blends in with the water, or even glass painted blue so it blends in more which would take less time and be much easier.

For the support underneath the folding drawbridge, maybe put it on a piston that retracts underneath the tower when the bridge goes up?

[@jaunusender6166]

I would take the wall off the lower level by the farm, use the recovered concrete to connect the front wall across to the tower, put the mesh metal from the edge down into the water, and put a brick wall two high to keep yourself from falling in the water from the farm on accident. A lot of classic castles were brick/stone and mortar on the outside, metal where water needed to flow, and wood everywhere else. Many castles "burned down" multiple times, but since the frame didn't burn, they just put new floors and inner walls in when they rebuilt.

[@sypri2478]

To get rid of the support of the bridge, you should add more bearings connected to the controller Or for a challenge, make a sensor for when a vehicle passes, that there is bearings forcing the bridge to the other way, but not to much force (then the vehicle will fly away, goodbye)

The water space between the tower and main base... I think it looks nice, kind of like a moat. Perhaps add arch(es) underneath, maybe with a support pillar in the middle of the "bridge" between the tower and base. It also looks like a nice spot to park a small boat, if you figure out something different for your drawbridge support.... perhaps that could be a thing in future updates of SM. Also a neat spot for secret entrances (I've played too much minecraft lol). Still, you might want some form of wall for protection.. going with my idea, it'd have to be further back than the front wall. As for the drawbridge itself, personally I'd prefer some sort of bracing mechanism built into the drawbridge, but it would require decent modifications. Perhaps it's something to try on the other side first. All in all, very beautifully built. Keep up the good work.

[@alexuschan1]

2 possible solutions 1: have the bridge fold the other way and have support on the bridge. (might push the lower lower part out a little) 2: have bridge supports swings out to lock it flat, these would be on the underside of the bridge, basically add a step or two after the bridge is lowered to extend a locking arm.

[@Way2Death]

Castle is coming along pretty well. I think it would look a bit better if the side walls of the tower would be a bit thicker. They look pretty weak in the lower part. And as other mentioned a nice arch connecting the tower across the water

[@timf7354]

My suggestion for the gap between tower and main base is to make an archway there and build the floor about 4 spaces above the water. Add arrow slits in the walls for what would be used to shoot arrows from. Also you can add portcullis to the towers. Portcullis are the metal gates that raise and lower inside the drawbridge towers.

[@VMPLAYSonYT]

You can add some flag at the top of the towers and at the top of the pointy walkway thing using painted carpets and bearings controlled by a controller to add some flag waving effect.. and banners for the walls. one more thing, fill the wall underneath the bridge from the farm to the tower, it looks weird.

[@dominthematrix7357]

You could put a small beam on a bearing that fold across the seam of the bridge to stop it from folding in on its self

[@Tommy_Collada]

Add a one block prong on the edge of the small side of the bridge that branches over the fold to the larger half, these lips will be a prettier way of fixing the issue. You can add the prongs to a piston as well so it can collapse out of the way when it folds up against the wall. Also add an arch way between the wall and the tower

[@Vat46]

For the bridge, you could have it fold the other direction (towards the guard tower) if it's strong enough, then build a support into the bridge that will brace the bearing. Or you could have a brace built into it anyway that fits between the two halves that would swing out to support it.

[@ericfujino10]

The strongest option would be to have a bearing rotating 45º with a pillar to support the bridge, considering the weakness of the pistons

It's looking great. I think that you should move the towers in closer to the main Base, it will reduce the gap between them and make the design flow better. It will mean moving the bridges and the sides of the horseshoe in as well, but you could just and reweld the sections.

[@gerrard1144]

You should actually add some depth to the building, like adding an extra layer of brick on the doorway and windows, and some support beams for the bouncy floor roof, just some suggestions but i hope this helps! Also at 24:40 you should add like some sort of wooden support *or* continue the wall like you've just said

[@spam2314]

ScrapMan, what you could do in the little castle is take out the doorway in the back wall, then put ammo chests along that wall, so you don’t have to run all the way back to get more, in case you run out. That would be cool if you tried that out.

[@that-1-guywith-a-name411]

Underneath the bridge put a bearing with a few blocks attached to it horizontally Connect them to a controller so that when the bridge goes down the blocks will rotate to help support the bridge and you won’t need the underwater support any more

[@that-1-guywith-a-name411]

Or you could just make the underwater support collapse down on the bridge goes up

[@Sportkid-wi7zw]

13:13 lets just call it a squirrel

[@mattmiller1389]

To fix your bridge add a bearing on the bottom side with a one block wide arm that rotates into place and locks the bridge in the extended position. Think of the locking mechanism used with the “flipper” glitch. Plus the one block height will let you hide it in between the two sections of bridge so u won’t see it at all when it’s retracted.

I have binge watched every episode from ep1 to here since I discovered this series. Sad that I caught up with the present, so I subbed and bell so I can watch these vids the moment they came out. Keep up the awesome content.

[@dawaffle2226]

For support you should make a slot that a large section of block extends from when the drawbridge extends so that there is support but it doesn't look ugly

[@sodoesseem7199]

make the little gap a kind of garage for the water based vehicles and add a double door gate arch, that would look really good.

[@loeffel4144]

Nice Tower. I would make the base of the gaps one block higher so you can't accidentally step over it and fall down. ;) Perhaps you can support you draw bridge another way. If you would put a one block rail at the edge of the draw bridge that extends over the other part perhaps this will work too. Then you would have two poles standing up, when she is folded, but if you paint the whole edge gray they would vanish in front of the tower when the draw bridge is up.

[@DerAngeloMerte]

1. Tower 20x21 i guess 2. Arch over water 3. Paint drawbridge support blue 4. Maybe you dont need the support because you changed the bearingdirection

[@Scare-_-Crow]

You can drag blocks between 2 bearings on the same piece allowing you to use 4 bearings on the drawbridge and maybe use railings on top of the bridge for support.

[@scipsgaming20]

The support you used for the center of the draw bridge could be attached to the draw bridge that folds out as well. Then you would not have a wood structure in the water.

[@Random-gibberish]

You could use glass for the support and it would probably blend in more.

[@specter_8885]

Make the area between the tower and the main wall a port for boats, if you ever build one. I think it would look awesome, and it would add a more medieval look to the castle.

[@narwhalking2788]

Connect the front to the ten blocks behind the tower front so it creates dls a slight angle l and convince the bots to go inward. Also make trusses or arches on the bottom supports in the castle and the top tunnels to make it look more structurally sound and decorate it. Make them large so you still have more room to see the crops.

[@mr.kowala334]

For the support, I think it would be really cool if it was your logo, so when the drawbridge is up it looks like an addition not a necessity

[@budge8197]

so today for learning contact juggling for scrap man i didnt do much because my family was hanging out the whole day, but im so close to completely mastering the wave thing with my right hand!

[@thedude4039]

Next to your base, build a concrete box called the "Armageddon box", fill it with all sorts of crazy last resort weapons like explosive launchers and spuddling guns.

[@asynt04]

13:13 I believe the word you're looking for is a helix (at least, that's what the completed stairs looked like)

[@rayguy4726]

Behind your entrance Tower, make a stairway to have a more logical was of getting into your base, except from seats and toilets. Generally you should think about making walkways through your base, so you can walk everywhere in your base without needing to jump or use seats. An Elevator would Not fit into the mideavel Castle theme, but I am Sure, you can either hide it, or Just call it Magic!

[@TommyCrosby]

13:13 : "what's the square version of a spiral" It's an helical shape. Doesn't matter if it's square or round.
