I like the "one defended harvest, leave no trace" option

[@DYLANTHEDUDE373]

I agree

[@sdrawkcab.tub.xosehtxoN]

Pro tip: Build upside down "Ramps" on the front and back of your car, this is so when you drive into a bot, the ramp will ragdoll them, and then guide them down and under your car so you can crush them more effectively. The top of this ramp needs to be at the Haybot's head height, and there needs to be part of the ramp at the Totebot's head height so you can ragdoll both bots effectively. Edit: Thanks for the likes!

[@sdrawkcab.tub.xosehtxoN]

Note the "Ramp" can just be two long horizontal pipes, one at the Haybot's head height, and the next being at the Totebot's head height.

[@yes-xr5kw]

the best idea ever

[@sdrawkcab.tub.xosehtxoN]

@@yes-xr5kw I did this for my own survival world, on almost every vehicle. I got the idea from kAN's wishbone suspension car, which could effectively crush bots by driving over them, but only if you activate the pistons at the right time. So I exploited this effect and weaponised it.

@@nikasmits2509 Well if he gets to a stage where he can make the RV I am thinking if he should already have a reliable source of fuel and should be able to use thrusters. Or, instead of taking the entire RV up the hill, he can just detach it from the truck it is attached to and just drive the truck up, since the RV is a trailer.

@@evanhollenbach6556 ooooo yes great idea!

[@oldaccount289]

I would love to see you do a train-styled mobile base. It’s going to be big any way you slice it, so why not divide it up into individual (unpowered?) cars. I believe it *could help gas efficiency, as each car would be a separate vehicle, and each car could have its own suspension. You could have a storage car, a Craftbot car, etc etc. Love the videos!

[@camogap7392]

I think similarly he could make a dual trailer semi truck

[@nitrogxn4075]

Yeah that's a good idea but keep in mind that it can quickly get laggy because Scrap Mechanic is not really optimized. I think it's better not having any suspensions and having as less bearings as possible to reduce the lag.

[@sashashadowhive6128]

While this is a cool idea, I'm afraid it won't really work. 1 scrap mechanic physics are weird and this design tends to have cars flip a lot. Especially the ones at the back. Secondly this is likely to cause a ton of lag. So yeah, very fun idea, don't think he should do it though

[@KingNedya]

Yeah, it wouldn't be fun to just see him lose all or almost all of his crops every night. Even in the original series, when his only farm defense was walls, he lost a very large portion of his crops. So if he had NO defenses whatsoever, even managing a tiny harvest seems unlikely.

[@Monkey-fv2km]

Recyclable defences for crops, that’s how I did my nomad run. I started with using the vehicle so I don’t have to build, but in the end it was a lot of work and it was easier to just slap some metal walls around a small plot, pull em up when finished.

[@Dylan-fj1yh]

Another pro tip from an experienced scrap mechanic nomad: I highly recommend creating a rectangular wall structure and attaching wheels to drag it around as a trailer. When you want to plant, detach the trailer and plant inside the portable wall. Another tip: The weight of your vehicle will become a huge issue very fast. Under heavy weight, wheels cannot turn and they sometimes collapse. To fix, you can make a two bearing turning system with two bearings and a piston. It’s hard to explain, but hopefully you can picture it. It works well for me, and I hope this helps lol Another another tip: Collect as much corn as you can to feed wocs. That way you don’t have to spend so many nights planting. Final tip: A level 5 engine is extremely efficient and barely burns fuel

It would make sense to use your vehicle as a "tent", and only use materials harvested near a temporary settlement to build defenses, which you can then leave behind. Nomads usually do that, instead of putting everything they own on a vehicle and carrying it around, while making sure everything they place isn't attached to the ground.

You can build defences, but only after you have planted your crops, so you have a limited amount of time to make them. It would help limit the amount of building you can actually do, by setting a time limit, but still allowing you to properly defend your crops (especially if you don't have a spud gun).

[@SapioiT]

You can use a vehicle voxel, instead of the map voxel, and still have defences. You could go the default route and use lots and lots of weights to hold still, and have a max-level controller spin an arm meant to both fling the bots, and damage them. Though you could use a nearby tree or trees for anchoring the device, so it won't move too much, when hitting the enemies. Doesn't have to be your only vehicle, you can have one for crop defence, one for moving the base, one for moving around the base, and so on. OR, you can make a giant vehicle, like 00Fant's mobile bases with giant wheels, or maybe one with even bigger wheels and an even bigger wheel base. You might want something which can simply scissor-lift a bunch of resource crates all the way from the packing station to the trader, in one go. Or use an engine-powered rebuchet to fling them all the way up, then gather them and carry them. After this challenge world is completed, I think a multiplayer nomad world, where everyone is restricted to 3 vehicles per person, would be very interesting. The only time when the vehicles would be attached to the ground, would be before logging off and while offline, so bots don't wreck your vehicle while someone else plays nearby you. Example for the 3 vehicles: Main base, usually very big; Harvesting vehicle, usually slow and powerful; Fast-travel vehicle, usually lightweight and very fast.

[@Dacraun]

For your farming, I think you should be allowed to build a second vehicle. One without a seat, but that would technically count as mobile. Basically create a Metal 2 / Metal 3 wall with wheels on the inside, that you can hitch onto your main base vehicle to transport over a plot of land and leave there on top of the farmland while you grow things. You're just not allowed to leave it there after the harvest, and must trail it with your main base whenever you go anywhere. :D

[@itsmatthewhere5726]

Yes! I think so too! It would be the best of both worlds. And he could upgrade the trailer, make it unfold for bigger farms, etc.

[@szabolcsbenedek1504]

There was a guy on the subreddit that did build a truck that had an automatic watering system and slots for dirt to plant. After harvest he just took up everything and moved to the next location. So you can build a base and farm at the same time, even nomads had a few day bases

[@jacksonfunke8230]

I say, a farm that can be there for 3 harvests with defences, then you pack it up and leave.

[@Ben_Bingo]

10:18 Btw, the best piston powered cars can destroy standard gas powered cars in speed

[@egg8953]

I just thought of something cool you could do during later in the series, you should make like a huge care or carrier as you main base that you can store all of your vehicles and stuff in. Of coarse you can’t keep that base in one spot so it will be a pain to move since it would be super heavy but I think it would be pretty cool to see.

[@someguy15721]

20:26 you would love fants mod lol it has that exact thing plus a ton of other junk

[@theduck3961]

In terms of farming, I suggest that you make your mobile base be able to carry an expandable wall/defense system that you can deploy around a farm and then pick up. Also you should probably make some engines that don't use fuel for your base just to make moving easy or use something like piston legs.

You should build multiple vehicles that can link together and then detach, so you can move everything at once, but still have separate vehicles for things like resource collecting and storage. This way, you could also have a defense vehicle without risking all your stuff and you only need to bring a small section of your base up the hill to the trader.

[@Calamari_]

I think for your farm, you should only be allowed to stay at that farming location until All your crops are grown. As for defences, They should be deployable, something attached to your car (or carried onboard) that can be detatched and set up around your farm. I feel like this leaves a lot of freedom as far as what kind of defences, such as a bearinged-chain of sawblades that can be draped over the crops, or a foldable wall that can be dropped over the farm.

Trader is always behind first packing station. Basic layout of those things is moreless same. You leave the ship, follow road and you'll get to mechanic.

Only thing that differs is terrain height and some feeatures, but you'll find those things in this order.

[@askl8er]

Make a flatbed type truck so you can put the craft bot on the back and storage and have another smaller vehicle for the scout car with a smaller bed for a chest or two. And you could tow it with a trailer and use it when needed. You can craft fuel on the go as well so that won't be a problem. Keeping your truck and main operation safe while you take the less important vehicle to scout with and return.

I have started quite a few worlds in survival and everyone without fail has had the Trader directly behind the first packing station. I think it is either always like that or I have some strange luck. And in my opinion a good way to go would be to give yourself a set amount of in game days that you can stay in one spot. Whatever you can build, grow, then tear back out in that time frame is fair game. Anything not picked back up at the end will stay behind and be sacrificed. And no going back to the same spot. Though you would have to put some real thought into how many days that would be. And thank you for more great content.

[@slayitwithfire5698]

Chances are that if you wanna get to the trader, you're either going to have to go the long way and climb up a less steeper side of that hill OR you're going to have to make thrusters, which means you will need a lot of component kits and hopefully an oil pond in your world. Alternatively, with those huge trees you can't cut down, you could make an extending arm that hooks onto one and you simply pull yourself up.

how about scrapman make a giant wall on wheels and whenever there are crop, just drive the wall in front of them, maybe even add some crasher on to the wall. I never played scrap mechanic, but scrapman's survival series has teach me a lot.

[@nobpyxl5389]

But scrapmans series hasn’t thought you grammar

[@JustIn-sr1xe]

Basic crop defenses. stuff that can be broken. There's a glitch with bearings. You can use a controller to move a small bar to contact your drive axle. And at a certain degree. You'll get forward rotation on that axle. Or reverse if you go past it. I made a people yeeter with a controller two bearings, some pipe pieces and some small wheels. had it still spinning fast with about 20 wheels on it.

[@ryansanders4067]

I'm really liking the idea of having a piece of your mobile base that functions as a scout vehicle that you can just weld back to your base when you are ready to move everything.

Idea: Build A Ramp For The Big Hill To Go Down

[@lostattheshops1166]

U could use a controller engine. They’re super simple all u do is clean next a bunch of controllers to one huge rear axle with a bunch of bearings and set them to loop 360 degrees. It’s pretty fast and uses 0 fuel

[@theresalwaysaplan9831]

U should be allowed to make a temporary base around/near a farm but u have to move after 2 harvests...plus this will add more content and challenges for u to make a modular base that u can set up and demolish easily where ever u go... basically something attached to you vehicle that expands into a base when needed or something like that

Nomadic tribes generally build semi-permanent structures that are designed to be easily taken down when it becomes time to travel again. For the farm aspect, I believe very basic defenses should be perfectly fine as that would be sort of what nomads do. Also, there are cases of Nomads that do build permanent structures such as animal pens. Many of these are made of stone, belong to no one, and have been around for thousands of years as shelter during various times of the year as the nomads essentially travel in a massive circle year round.

[@jacktroll19]

So idk if your gonna see this scrapman but you've inspired me. I have been watching your videos for about five years now and I turn 18 next month. so I just wanted to thank you for the laughs and just being my favorite KZbinr just keep being you your a amazing person and KZbinr

[@e1lmoose]

you should make the whole front turn with a single bearing in order to save on bearings

[@alkylus1112]

In my opinion, you should be able to put defenses on your farm and pack up...

[@Hawk_Sparrow]

You can build walls for farms as it isn't with a permanent intent, also I warehouses you will be allowed to build small walls to protect yourself

[@fedorapsycho1280]

Hey scrapman the death satchel can be used as a vehicle tracking device. Just carry an absolute piece of trash that you will never use in your inventory. Then when you die DO NOT REMOVE IT FROM THE SATCHEL. Weld the satchel to the vehicle and you will never forget where you parked. Oh and did i mention that the satchel is indestructible. Good luck nomad.

[@jaakkoannala7976]

Those hills! You my friend will need hybrid vehicle. Maybe add one wheel to drop down and using bearing/controller power. Those have some torque. This series made me get back to scrapmechanic and try new world with same idea. Love it so far.

[@UriahSSPLC]

Placing defenses around your crops and picking them up when you leave is definitely the best idea. I don't think it's necessary to move between plantings, but when you are farming you limit yourself as to how far you can go from your crops, and when ur done farming (for the time being) you pack up and can't use the same spot next time.

[@spyrodragonite619]

you could be a nomad and have perma buildings. if i remember right, some nomads who traveled in repeating paths would build psudo way stations or similar things where they could leave some resources. if you find a good oil pond, you could turn it into a fuel processor, and leave it behind. or, you could make a battery station and swap to battery power...

[@masterblastoise]

Suggestions for permanent structures: (1) build little stations to collect chemicals, gas, and water. Nothing fancy, just for collection. That way if you're driving thru the area the pumps will run. (2) packing station dispensers.

[@excancerpoik]

the hard part is getting started once youre settled its kinda nice to be a nomad you dont have to worry about dying far from home because youre gonna take youre home with you

[@Josh-oc7ib]

I really want this to be an update in scrap mechanic where they add a feature where you choose what you want to craft and it shows the materials needed on the corner of your screen and it counts how much you got so far. So you can keep track of what you need to get.

[@itsmatthewhere5726]

It would not be an easy thing, but you could make a DEFENCE TRAILER. It would have defences on the sides, but the center of it would be empty. You park the trailer and in the middle of it (through the hole) you grow crops.

[@itsmatthewhere5726]

It's the best of both worlds. Also you could use controller in the future to unfold it to make it suited for big farms too. Saves time, is extremely cool, only uses extra fuel

[@meenersmess7885]

Hi! An idea for the rules. You can build on the ground if you put down your bed. You can only have one bed. You can build or plant anything in contact with the bed. Once you have made the bed you can only remove it after all planted or build has been taken down. You can only do one full havest in a biodome then you need to move to another.

[@zacrosamond3128]

Remember basic crops planted up to 9 times on a tile don't incur raids, that would suffice for food until you need to grow lvl 2 crops for the spudgun, by which point you'll have enough resources to build a vehicle capable of deploying walls around crops with T3 metal fences at least

[@tiredboi720]

I am Mongolian, a mostly nomadic culture and how we do it is we set up camp with animals and fences and when the time comes we move on to the next camp and just cycle through the camps.

[@tempestrage257]

These camps must have good internet

[@malindukumaradasa3851]

About crops, try putting down lots of no-raid plots around the map, far away from each other at the same time so you can just farm and harvest on the go. About the vehicle, you should probably defend your large chests, y'know, probably. Anyways love the series ❤

[@ZiaSatazaki]

re: the huge packing station hill: you could just have several smaller vehicles that dock onto the main mobile base when it reaches that sort of scale? One for handling ores and lumber, maybe a controller-powered one geared specifically for climbing that big hill, all that sort of thing?

[@stryker1599]

If you dont want to use your main mobile base to protect a farm you can consider making a 2nd vehicle which you attach to the mobile base while moving locations and use the 2nd vehicle for smaller activities. i.e. mining, logging, farm defence Barring that I dont see an issue with temporary defences around temporary farm plots. Nomads are known to settle for short periods of time for specific reasons (so you could say stay at one location for the minimum time possible to farm what you need for the spudgun rather then having to move after every single harvest if you are doing small crop rotations)

[@xxjkl742xx]

you can use a maxed controller as a motor and have 5 stacked bearings for each rear wheel. speed is fine for evading bots and there is lots of torque. just need to stablize the wheels so they dont flop. i used this on my main cargo truck in my survival world.

[@marxxisshalott2443]

Being able to build things and pack up and move at a moments notice is a very nomadic thing. I think being able to build around something to farm or what not would be good as long as it can all be packed onto the mobile base and taken with you after the first harvest

[@Ming1975]

I always play mobile base. I place farm plot of 9s on travel paths and collect them as I pass through. The lake that's usually near the packaging station can place 9 plot on opposite sides with no raid trigger. My mobile base is either on toll or electric engine powered. I normally park it by the packing station or the lake beside it.
