Me: gets dragged home from the bar. Splitsie: drags the bar home.

[@delphicdescant]

I *knew* there was a joke to be made out of bringing a bar home. Thanks for dragging it out of hiding.

[@riccardocarretta3308]

Splitsie: "now with the flyer i can pick up items and rapidly get back to base! " Said items when back to base: *TACTICAL BOMB IMBOUND*

[@yep_prez]

that would actually be a cool idea to have parachutes on packages to drop at base to speed up the salvaging and scrapping process a little its really unnecessary but its really cool

[@AnonNopleb]

They way you describe not requiring outriggers, "I've gotten along without outriggers for such a long time now", feels like someone in charge of a facility being interviewed after a major disaster: "You know, we've gotten along without proper safety protocols for such a long time now that it didn't feel necessary"

[@trevorhaddox6884]

"We've driven without seatbelts for so long" "Hardhats? What could possibly hit our head?" "A harness? Nah, just climb the roof, it's fine!"

[@greymane_gaming3435]

dozens of OSHA handbooks burst into flames and at least 3 inspectors had heart palpitations as he said that... lol.

[@suborbitalprocess]

He has jinxed himself hard

[@monad_tcp]

I don't even understand what you guys are talking about, what are outriggers ? I never use those in space engineers, is that a new block from one of the DLCs I don't have ?

[@blamudia8474]

​@@monad_tcp In the current context I'd assume the extending legs that large crane operated vehicles use for a bigger on ground surface area, makes them more stable, able to carry heavier loads on larger angles.

[@GrinningCoyote]

You should paint the bar Capac orange and call it "The Decoy".

[@Vessekx]

The Meatshield Bar & Grill

[@Bigrignohio]

Need a "dead engineer" out back to represent a passed-out patron :)

[@Vessekx]

Expired Cosmic Coffee packs a real kick.

[@gum__]

Consumed just one Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster too many 😀

[@Beeblebum]

2 Scrappers walk into a bar... Splitsie: "What Bar?"

[@epickh64]

A crowbar.

[@TheMrShinagami]

Instead of charging money for the Cosmic coffee and Clang cola you could charge in components like 5 motors for a Cosmic coffee and 6 computers for a Clang cola. Just an idea but it feels like fits with the scrap and bartering feeling you have going on.

[@TubeTAG]

You should add a couple of those auto-targeting spot lights to the nugget. Seems like it would be even more useful for spotting scrap while in the air.

[@Splitsie]

Ah, good idea

[@TheRealCatCatCat]

Seeing the 'Scrapsie' sign above the warehouse kind of makes me expect to see a sign saying 'Barsie' above the bar to stay on theme 😄

[@diazinth]

that would be excellent!

[@Alignn]

Or Sipsie

[@cylus13]

You know the beer garden area might be the best place for your solar panels. I'm thinking it would make a canopy to give shade during the day.

[@nagabe]

You really raised the bar this episode

[@zekehunter2473]

After doing the math, you could have carried the Bar with your flyer. You got about 195t of lift.

[@JescoLincke]

This bar needs a jukebox..! Regarding the coloured lights: I'd have a few neutral lights bright enough for area lighting and leave the coloured lights low enough to be for ambience only.

[@jackprice6599]

Fun music!

[@NathanGibbs3]

A jukebox, then change some of the floor tiles to something emissive for a dance floor.

[@voidphilosopher42]

Whoever gave Splitsie this bar location, why did you not add a jukebox with welcoming fun music?? Such a wasted opportunity...

[@anumeon]

You could say that Splitsie got a real Bar-gain this episode...

[@Sasinc-pw8ni]

No

[@NexeL_NKC]

You calling your flyer "The Nugget" just brings back memories of the OG Survival Unlikely series. lol

[@MrAndyroo]

The LCD in the bar still saying Dave's. Don't forget it Sir.

[@evlkenevl2721]

"Dave? Dave's not here!" 😂

[@gum__]

Bar: Sandwich - SOLD OUT. Well, that rules out Capac ever setting foot in there. Good job on the Nugget though, looks cool!

[@Vessekx]

Clearly Capac had already visited. 😁

[@voidphilosopher42]

This bar is not Capac-safe. Shortly after the man walks in, that bar will explode. Just as much as it needs a fire extinguisher, It needs an emergency sandwich. At least it should say: "Sandwich - sold out, blame the bots" Maybe that will prevent a Capac class event happening here.

[@d-zeronut5094]

I expect half price drinks at the bar now 😊

[@Sasinc-pw8ni]

Half price of 3x the price. This is so outback Australia and I love it

[@johanvantpadje3662]

"O no! I bombed my own base" That remark made me laughing way too hard 😂

[@theubie]

I've actually started leaving an exposed merge block on my vehicles so that I can easily attach small batteries when I need to jump start them, and I keep 3-5 small batteries already on merge blocks plugged into the base mains power and recharging for that specific task.

[@ash1073]

Sat in the beer garden chilling out as you hear a loud noise approaching. You look up and see Splitsie flying in with the Nugget. "Hold on to your hats and beers lads. Here he comes!". Chaos as everything gets blown away from the thrusters. "Darn you Splitsie, next time build the beer garden away from the ladding pad!". (Love the build Splitsie. Looks ace!)

[@Splitsie]

Lol 🤣

[@justinlackey4363]

I still thinking you should have called that the vulture. It's a flying scrapping ship with large curved 'wings'. Vulture fits that perfectly, even if the colors are a little off, but that's an easy fix.

[@sennix7148]

For the main rotor on the crane, I found it helpful to put a lock rotor on the hot bar to keep heavy loads from shifting when moving them back to base.

[@Brysett]

I like the bar. Personally I would probably have place a couple of the plushies on top of the arc leading into the beer garden, just to add a little color splash and breaking up the line.

[@BadgerBishop]

If you build outriggers, you could include them in the crane unpack automation. No extra setup time and the extra stability will let you elevate the level of risk when doing janky lifts.

[@bera2955]

Stick the beergarden on the other side of the bar and use the chinook helicopter as the outer wall with some tables in it.

[@tanaraysmith4137]

Bar needs a name like the Rusty scraper or the Splitsies scraping. Love your videos.

[@Vessekx]

Someone else suggested painting it Capac-orange, and calling it it ‘The Decoy’. I prefer ‘The Meatshield Bar & Grill’.

[@crumpler6773]

On today's episode: Splitsie drags home a bar, Splitsie bombs his base, And Splitsie does builds a shrubbery.

[@kelemvour]

The RBLF claims the BAR as the Red Battery Bar & Grill. It’ll be a very interesting place and full of stories of Glorious Red Batteries… Long may they Charge Us… Ohm Ohm Ohm…

[@bearnaff9387]

You have made an annoying day better. Earlier today, I managed to leave my phone on the tool box mounted in the bed of my friend's pickup. When it fell, we both heard it, but I assumed it was a piece of trash and didn't suggest stopping. You accidentally bombing your base feels exactly as dumb as me forgetting, then ignoring, my phone. I no longer feel like the world's biggest idiot now that know there are two of us.

[@devinsmith3019]

If you drop the skids on the nugget down just a bit you might be able to build a little tray between them and add some mag plates to anchor small scrap

[@Mr_toe_]

The Timelapse back to base was so satisfying idk why

[@CodeManMike]

Dude, Splits, between you and they guys and BS, especially with scrapyard.... you just keep inspiring me to carry on with my SE server, even though I keep getting shot at😂

[@jasonfabrick9308]

You should make 1 or 2 of the big thrusters on the flyer a different color or more beat up to add to the scrap built effect. If the Truss Pillar Diagonal was also available in small grid you could use them for bracing from the battery to the horizontal truss you used for the big thrusters. You could set some of the garden lights to blink. You could use different times so they look more random.

[@goldennuke2]

Splitsie's really raising the bar with this video

[@Jollyhoy]

The new truss lights could function nicely as base flashers for night/sandstorms. Your half-blind approach near the scrap pile made me nervous 😥

[@UfoLBeerSeeker]

Trains you say? Just so happens that yesterday i picked up rail section with a train on it... part of it at least. Ready to collect any time. I was wondering what to do with it, and now there is something ;) For your flier, would it be wise to have a kind of transport tray that you can load stuff on and then lift entire thing?

[@TheClaw47]

In this episode, we see the bar of Theseus...er...Splitsie.

[@andycompton7282]

Was planning to play something else today, but @Splitsie drops a new video so I'm back to the Scrapyard! Mobed my 1st building the other day. One of those production halls. That was stressful and frustrating and so awesome when I rolled into my yard with it and my truck (mostly) intact!

[@spyke1890]

A few bar suggestions: sign needs neon! an exhaust fan in the kitchen and rope lighting for the beer garden

[@dova117]

For a second at the end, I thought you were about to say "Next time, I'm going to be taking another building."

[@zanahoria-san8239]

That bar looks like a roadside diner, but I must say that making it all yellow is a bold decision 👀

[@Splitsie]

I mean, it was all yellow to begin with at least :D

[@TheWoofus]

Thanks for uploading so often! I often like to watch these while playing your scrapyard mod on my own pc. I am really enjoying it

[@SiggiGumma]

I love the lights on the nugget, especially the navigation lights. Might I recommend placing more navigation lights on the bottom of the ship so that it is easier to see which way it is facing when it is in the sky (and you are on the ground). Love this series so far :Þ

[@loonitun]

how nice to see you finally got your Plush bar

[@johncassidy2298]

'Head' = Chicken Nugget; extra thrust w/ landing gear & mag plates = Hot wing; land based rover w/ connector = Rotisserie. I still think repurposing the truck/trailer by removing the cab/seat and adding additional batteries to recharge the 'Hot Wing & Nugget' to lift items onto the mag plate bed; or, just add the connector the the back of the truck bed and keep things mostly like they are.

[@kingwolf468]

For you bar, make a bartender that’s connected by a rotor with some rotor arms that use turret controllers idle movement to move. You can also use a timer block to turn on and off player targeting to make it ‘look’ at players every now and again.

[@rogerexcell249]

Projector table holo-tree? Use a motion sensor-player in the garden/bar to save on power and or lag.

[@leXie1337_chan]

I love the running lights, but they need to blink!

[@KaneinEncanto]

Green on the right, red on the left, too.

[@aerohaelis1]

52:01 clang cola and cosmic coffee, might as well call it the pub with no beer

[@mandyspence1599]

Love the bar, still think you need a kids play area, maybe with some plushies... or maybe make a fairground with plushies as prizes! I'm being silly, but I really like the life you're giving the space. Also, it was only a matter of time before you weaponised the flyer, so... Bombs Away!!!

[@robinchwan]

lights can make any dull side of a ship look much better.

[@Hijunk71]

thank you for that I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. That bombing your base thing.

[@tirreal3756]

I've enjoyed your series and game mode, I found a new push to play it :)

[@matyusferenc1632]

The camp mod gives tree's and bushes into the game.

[@thorivaldic]

Yep, I agree. The bar needs a jukebox. But that would then make it a 'Juke Joint'! ")

[@lagunaloire2710]

I'd love the Nugget MKI on the workshop XD and every subsecuent version ofc. :P Love your work dude

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

When i saw the notification i thought "who uploads at 3AM?" Then i had that moment of realization that he lives on the opposite side of the planet and it's probably the late afternoon.

[@upbeatheist157]

Go to sleep

[@GhostOfSnuffles]

@@upbeatheist157 But i'd just woke up.

[@josephsmith7023]

You know what I think would actually be the best upgrade for your crane? A piston on the very end of it. There's so many times when you get your crane positioning so close to correct and if you could just extend the very tip of it out a bit you'd be able to connect to what you want, then retract a little. Or like when you're placing something down sometimes you need to manipulate both of your piston sections simultaneously (and as far as I can tell you don't have that ability) but having a piston on the very end of your crane would make it so you could just move the item in a straight fashion (albeit a short distance). Idk, that's just something that to me seems super useful.

[@josephsmith7023]

Another suggestion (I'm onto the part of the video where you're working on the flyer again. Could you use the Curved sorta L Shaped Truss Pillar to connect the upward thrusters? I'd place the base of the L on top of your center piece (cockpit/directional thruster area) and put the top side outward where the upward thrusters are now. You could raise the upward thrusters a block or two if needed for clearance of the direction thruster burns. Your Upward thrusters are sort of mounted like Dragonfly wings now, and I'm thinking more of like a Vulture wing look.

[@twistedone3190]

lol he found my base "BIG THING" tourist attraction. Its now been upgraded with an obversion helmet.

[@martinvho]

But they're always glad you came (and posted a video)! :)

[@fredpryde8555]

some truss pieces have light stripes in them to light upwards i like the nugget well done maybe some plushies on the gate entrance

[@jackprice6599]

Actually completes a heavy lift flyer and immediately finds a Skycrane 😂

[@lordsherifftakari4127]

if you go into a Bar, it would be nice to not have to make sure your Tetanus Shots are up to date! I wanted to build my Road Kill Cafe but the coding tweaks needed are a deterrant

[@Tdelouis]

Civil engineer: Now where to permit the nee bar... Oh, of course, next to the airport. Pilots need a drink before they go flying.

[@moldy13]

the lights at the beer garden should flicker like old fluorescents.

[@martinrwolfe]

With those multiple coloured lights you need to add a disco ball.

[@YesterGearPCii]

"I don't have a camera", "Why didn't I put a camera on this", "Wish I had a camera". YOU DID... Laughing the whole time lol.

[@Splitsie]

Yup, that was a special moment of doofus :P

[@mlogan2k2]

The Nugget is starting to look more like the front end of a scorpion bot being used to haul kegs.

[@ThatOldGuyYouKnow]

You should add cargo pods to the back of the Nugget, and call them 'eggs'

[@diazinth]

or!: have cargo containers laying around, with enough components to build a new one, and call those eggs :D

[@BarrabazCirilo]

A little friendly safety reminder (is not backseat gaming how dare you!) maybe a repair projector for the chicken, tho for minor damage I guess coz its hard to repair in the scrapyland, and the event controller you mentioned. loving the series!

[@Splitsie]

Projectors are unavailable in the scrapyard, because you could use them very easily to bypass all the other block restrictions :)

[@BarrabazCirilo]

@@Splitsie that's clever.. ehm.. then I got nothing 😅

[@sally5275]

Oh on the "fridge", or if you just want decorations in general, the cargo crate from decorative blocks 3 can work really well as both a smaller dumpster, or if placed vertically as a sort of fridge too. that's how i've personally used it a couple times and i think it looks neat! it does leave a noticeable gap in the wall so i'm not sure how well it'd fit in the space but i guess it could be worth a shot. just wanted to mention it really cause it's probably one of my favourite blocks for decorating interiors haha. great video anyway, having a lot of fun following along with the series.

[@tylerp.4604]

Just an idea, when you remodel the crane/trailer combo, have the "Nugget" be the cab, attached with the merge block, similar to how Shadow is using the bubble in RVls at War. less having to jump in and out of cockpits.

[@superGT3800]

definitely need to get the lights flickering for the bar sign

[@lenorevanalstine1219]

you know one of those bars in theory could have the floor cut out gutted and slapped onto a large grid ship as a makeshift bridge

[@dr.salazar3167]

I have two ideas: First. Add one of the lines of medium cargo containers from the rover to the back of the nugget, Add ledges on the sides for small parts and pieces, add a crane at the front on the top and a space for big things at the back. This should make it a fully capable scrapping vehicle. Second. Construction of the grinder pit. So the idea of importing whole vehicles and cutting parts out of them made more sense and was less cumbersome after cutting out the useful bits.

[@maartenvandenberge7116]

i think something that would work great on the nugget is when you get more thrusters to put them on the trusses that connect the thrusters so it has more control when moving heavy items, as having only 4 small ones seems like a limitation

[@maartenvandenberge7116]

this being without modification, having them just on top and under would improve them enough

[@zanahoria-san8239]

You can probably put more power in the aircraft if you can find more large thruster and put them kinda in the middle of the rear wings supports, so you can move faster.

[@ivanheffner2587]

Might want to rename the bar and change the sign: “Rember: It’s always sunny at Dave’s”

[@generalgreen77]

With the bar lighting, just use RGB red, green and blue… the 4 main colours that you normally see together with the exception of yellows, because the bar is already yellow so probably not needed as a light… just a thought 💭

[@Splitsie]

Yeah, good call :)

[@corvisian4267]

Id give it a cargo abdomen and move the thrusters to the middle of the beams

[@benanderson6218]

Someone needs to make a mod that allows you to fully weld a block and then you can choose what build state you want it to show

[@cagstix]

Use a projector and put the projection of the tree from your other game! Survial impossible!!!! Omg, this is the perfect opportunity to use it haha

[@aerohaelis1]

For the most wanted man in the sector, you sure ain't hard to find 13:50

[@PeterBoddy]

That's a great flyer design, though the mismatched thrusters drive me absolutely bonkers. xD I know you've made it to be modular, but I think I'd make a fully non-modular version. Nice work!

[@martinwyke]

A roof top gallery for spectators to watch your events.

[@haydencarn8737]

I think at this point it would be best to build a large grid rover and have a docking bay for your flyer on it and a large flatbed on which you can carry enormous amounts of scrap.

[@armastat]

you don't want a bar right next to your warehouses. You dont want the drunks peeing all over your equipment as they giggle.

[@franknovak8060]

The beer garden might use some of those overhanging tarps for sunshades....also I have seen bars with cash tacked to the ceiling

[@swag-trap0123]

Nice Cheers reference.

[@anVlad11]

Time to mix drinks and change lives!

[@ververat]

In that desert, with that clear sky at night... that garden bar is going to need outdoor heaters.

[@Geninacra]

The Flyer could be Big Nugget, with both pieces, and Little Nugget, with only de cabine.

[@sina8246]

Put a battery bank added to your base for all the spare batteries to be charged for when you need them

[@tarab9081]

50:30 June in the USA is Pride. I've been putting rainbow lights on EVERYTHING this weekend.

[@Splitsie]

I hadn't even thought about that timing :D

[@starlitstreet]

Maybe you could create a sort of halo that goes over the top of the command module and then you can tie the thrusters to the halo with struts? Might make it look a little more robust without looking too heavy

[@justinlewis7898]

You could more the turning thrusters too the arms of the lifting thrusters. This would open up the top of the cab so the arms arent the only point of connection to those very rare thrusters.

[@cabbageplays6710]

I actually made a tank rover once, and then designed a power pack that had all the flight mechanics in it so i could jump off moon to the planet, Interesting challenge, havnt played SE for a while now so i cant remember what i called it now, but it worked. Had a through conveyor in the flight pack so you could transfer stuff from a base to the rover.

[@orlandolaurentiu731]

You could add a stripper poll on a rotor that rotates with the base so that it would be functional

[@fredmorpheus6890]

The hinge swing like a tail of a happy dog 😃
