[@blazethegryphon9990]

I love the idea of armour trading speed for protection, both giving a progression and making vehicles more important later on.

[@zephranarx2172]

@Computer Boy Yes because Minecraft invented the idea of armor in video games /s For real though, *an* armor slot isn't like *4* armor slots, and you can't just say one idea is from another, there's many reasons as to why certain mechanics are the way they are. it's like saying a cube-based building game is ripping off minecraft, when in reality it isn't, it's just easier to do a cube-based sandbox because that's just how coding is. I'm no coder, but even I know it'd be harder if they did like, triangular prisms or something. seriously, you can't just slap a random comparison and say it's 'ripping off' or 'too much like' another game.

[@emrah_8073]

ZephraNarx Minecraft didn’t come up with the idea of armor in video games do you know how many pvp games were out before minecraft with armor

[@green7449]

YES Utility slot for higher jump, more air for underwater, and a freaking light. Shield slot gives you protection but makes you hungry faster or move slower or both for a really strong shield. reduce dmg by 25% and 50% for the different strengths.

[@FlameStrykeShadowDark]

I have a suggestion for you: if you connect your chests together with vacuum tubes, all your storage containers will be accessible by your craft bot. For example, I have my input and output chests connected, so every time I craft something that's a component of something else, I don't have to move it from the output chest to the input chest. Chests are also the only way to but a T connector in vacuum tube networks currently.

[@WizardCraft-ox4pe]

Remember that they don't want to use the same ideas that other people used, for example, Kan made a piston car and people kept begging for ScrapMan and Moonbo to make one.

[@FlameStrykeShadowDark]

@@WizardCraft-ox4pe I haven't watched any other streamer play this, aside from the multiplayer episodes. This is just something that I did, and as Kan has to go manually insert components into the supply chest to make things i thought it would make crafting things easier while maintaining his organization.

The chemical container might be a sort of fuel like container for batteries. Now that they're craft-able. Obviously not fully implemented yet but it could be hooked up to sort of sudo recharge electric engines since batteries are crafted with chemicals.

[@КириллНаумкин-д4н]

You can attach chemcontainer to a vacuum pump set to dispense and shoot chemicals like water cannon shoots water. Also works with large chest though.

[@8-7-styx94]

I'm pretty sure the point of the individual containers is for use with future connective parts. For instance a gated pipe would be able to selectively pass only water or only chemicals. What that could be used for I have no idea, but the premise appears to be the same as the gas container or the water container, stuff will eventually be able to connect to only a chemical container for whatever reason. Can't wait for this update, I build EVERYTHING out of concrete 2, I just really like the texture of it. xD

[@mysterygamer48]

Containers as you probably know are meant to be connected to items to fire it out so probably there will be a item that lets us shoot out chemicals

The specialty containers are not for storage, but for wiring to parts. Like water tanks and the water cannon.

[@kiwifrogg]

I had a resource mod on that made most of the same changes, plus it makes the stack size larger. I tweaked a few of the files to make QOL even better, like making the haybots have a much higher chance of dropping components. I only want to play once in a while I don't have time to grind all day :)

I could stay underwater and grind no problem, aside from the really loud areas, if I could craft a breathing device or something so I could just stay underwater while collecting. The under water environment is nicely detailed.

[@thebigbrzezinski]

You can spray chemicals with a vacuum pump, but I have no idea why you would want to. I don't recall vacuum pump projectiles doing much to bots, be they water, chemicals, or potatoes. More interesting is the prospect of a reliable source of batteries. You can make a pretty decent WASD-controlled turret using three electric motors set to low speed. You control elevation using forward and back like a vehicle. You control azimuth by "steering" a stick over two sensors tied to the other two motors. This also works for controlling WASD skid-steer vehicles. Also, with a supply of chemicals, this update makes it possible to make a giant electric vehicle that is powered by _consuming haybots._

[@justinpatterson5291]

You're thinking of synthetic fertilizers. By adding biomass to soil you inevitably fertilize it. I think they should add a compost bin if it's not already in the game.

[@imTsaky]

Reconnect your output chests to input again so you can just craft the items directly. Also connect all your materials chest(components, circuits, etc.) to your input chest in craft bot.

[@axolotl_princess]

you can use chests to make a loop with the craft bot so it can draw from its output. scrapman did this on his world

[@marcellosuryantara2853]

the starving and the thirst sound is not too different but now when your hungry or thirsty you will get a rumble sound effect

[@teancumwillard8829]

I think they are going to add a connection point to it and either have it connect to the water gun or make another part to shoot chemical's or something less likely a part that requires it and it does something we didn't expect.

[@nekoali2]

All of the other 5-slot containers like the chemical chest can be connected to something to remotely fuel it. Water tanks, gas and battery containers, spud ammo cans. It stand that at some point they'll add something that needs chemicals as fuels. Or like you said, pump it through a water sprayer for some reason. Currently in live it's better to pump water and chemicals into large chests anyway, so the only real purpose of the water container is for feeding water sprayers. I think that the battery recipe is a bit too expensive. For fuel it's 5 oil=5 fuel. For batteries it's 5 chemicals plus 20 scrap metal for 5 batteries. That's a big change. Yes, it's easier to get a massive amount of chemicals but 20 scrap seems a bit excessive. 5 scrap + 5 chemicals seems about right to me. Concrete is a better option than brick currently as it stands. Making it cheaper just makes it all the more effective to use. It's also easy to upscale it to Concrete 2 and reach the 'small bots won't attack it' durability. With brick all you can do is use it plain, making Brick and Wood useful for starting off when you don't have a lot of resources.

[@TheLightLOD]

About the chemical container. I think it's meant as a cheaper alternative for a tube connectable storage, since it doesn't use component kits. For me that means i'd build it, since i use component kits too much for other things (hybrid controller powered vehicles and articulated arms). However, i can very much imagine that late game its use is questionable.

[@slyfoxkgar]

something that would be nice to be added.. resetting warehouses.. maybe craft a reset with 10 keys or something? you go up to the door and use the RESET to get it to respawn. (could make it cost a lot or not.. but would be nice)

[@Funsox]

The dropping tools helps if you uhh... accidently craft extra tools. Now you can just drop them and let them decay instead of leaving them in the box of shame forever.

[@whiterunsteward7477]

If you connect your chests to the one connected to the craftbot, it the craftbot will see it as an extended inventory, and will use the items in all of the chests.

[@linaselyan5128]

I think the only advantage of the chemical container so far, is that it takes less materials than a chest to be crafted. (Only 10 metal, no component kit, less glue...) Anyways, those changes look great! Can't wait for it to come live and hoping for a way to cancel a craft in the next updates

[@bizzle239]

Maybe in another update you'll be able to use the chemical chest with a water gun with fertilizer in the chest so you can fertilize your garden?

[@TheInvertedCow]

I am wondering if they will eventually make it so you can only fill tanks so that you could install a pump directly into a crafting loop and it would always keep the connected tanks full but not fill every slot in every connected inventory. I would like it if they would make a sensor that would read the contents of a inventory and if needed send out a signal depending on the settings. So you could for example make a setting that would send an If/then condition for crafting or send a signal to a pump to turn on or off when an inventory passes a certain state. Make it so you can create some automatic crafting or inventory control systems. Also a way to soft dock a vehicle into an existing inventory loop would be nice if you make something like your tanker idea Cheers Also you can shoot chemicals using the Vacuum pump, same way as you shoot vegies into the packing station, It also shoots seeds and water bottles. Water bottles shot from it will stun bots Chemicals and seeds do no measurable damage, and veggies will punch a hole in cardboard but not much else to anything.
