Scrap Mechanic - Raid Farm testing - Wedges and new Smart Physics.
Testing my new Christmas present. A new microphone! Yay!

I got my friend to sub to you! congrats on 500! I needed to see it!

My initial farm setup used stompers. So an array of 'grills' on pistons along my fence that stomped downwards. It too suffered if it wasn't cleaned out. I was in the process of swapping the system to an egg beater concept but I never quite got it finished before I needed a break from SM. If you've watched battlebots you might get the idea of how the eggbeater drums work. Its basically a frame that spins on the horizontal and anything that gets close is punted up and away.

Like Witch doctor, Mintor has a drum. I found it. CopperHead has the wide single bar. A small ramp and then down sharply made of wedges. Could slide them in the Sweet Spot. For maximum Yeet.

[@darklingnz8017]

@@GuardianOz yeah and not being a complete drum it allows a moving object to pass into range a little more so it can get a better bite of the target. I made mine as a flat piece of metal 3 and put some 'teeth' at the bottom facing the enemy. The testing I did sent bots flying pretty damn well. I was in survival so I never got around to testing with a farm bot but I had hoped that there would be enough force that if it destroyed one it would roll back and explode out of range. I've not played modded so didn't have wedges available.

can tell its fant mod, also very cool and creative farm

[@B4evrtru-26]

ohhh also i just realized your doing a 4 section farm between the corners of 4 tiles, so is it just like a metal and circuit board and component kit farming farm?

[@GuardianOz]

Yeah its a farm to farm Bots. It is using Fant mod as he added wedges to survival.

[@suuuuuuuuuz]

New mic sounds great, and really creative design! Could you use metal 3 wedges instead to make it work with farmbots too?

[@GuardianOz]

Thanks for the mic feedback. The challenge of farmbots is a their raid level the are escorted by tape bots. Both have OP ranged attacks. The ranged attack means they won't jump in the pit. Metal 3 is durable but it can be destroyed. The farmbot legs damage tick is also very fast. Once there is a breach of a few wedges the tapebots will start shooting through the gaps.

[@suuuuuuuuuz]

@@GuardianOz Ohh, thanks for the explanation, I didn't think about tapebots 😂

[@glowytheglowbug]

thats awesome! good work :D

[@WynterLegend]

Kinda surprised you didn't use the Suck-o-matic to draw all the scrap "logs" to the assembly. Or, does that make the joints/bearings freak out?

[@GuardianOz]

Thanks for the Idea's. The pit is mainly a proof of concept of the wedges. This is just a testing world. The creation you see, uses drop down collectors. To expand your idea, use a unit facer, to retract when bots are detected and the drop down when they are gone. Sucking up the resources that way.

I feel like your voice might just be compressed in real life) But hey, at least it's not rasping anymore

[@GuardianOz]

Excitement is what changed my voice. Yay I can record again.

😁😁😁👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@emilspribitoks729]

at the chemical plant, in the middle, there is a big hole and you can place soil there. Can you try building this but there, like a raid farm.

[@GuardianOz]

That pit is great for a raid farm as it is deep enough to hide the saws. I have used it in the past. It how ever is across only 2 tiles. The location is way off to the edge of the map too. The pyramid can be built on any "flat" tile junction.

[@emilspribitoks729]

@@GuardianOz how do i find the grid for farms in a non modded survival world then? Also can you make a survival friendly version, an automatic component kit farm would be cool

[@GuardianOz]

@emilspribitoks729 The road sections are the easiest edges to find. The chevrons are the joins. Where the paint line on the road edge goes thin is the tile edge. T sections and corners will give you a tile edge corner if you build a line of blocks. If you ever find the "Small roundabout" the middle of road that's the centre. It is viable to build the pit walls as a open grid from scrap metal. The ramp can be made of just open blocks. No wedges required. Even scrap wood on the side work. Like this.

it wont let me craft the wedges in survival idk why

[@GuardianOz]

Fant mod added the wedges to survival. It can be found in the steam workshop search for gamemode
