12:00 Bacteria tag might be possible if these blocks are placeble with a vacuümpump

[@FuelDropforthewin]

Was literally just about to suggest that.

[@rulun0013]

If this works it would be soo cool

[@AgaliX]

It is possible to spawn these blocks with modpack part spawner

[@baconranger4363]

Could have each person has a different type of block so you know who tagged who

[@omahabrowneyes]

The electric bacteria reminds me of an EMP of sorts. A multiplayer Monday with an EMP concept would be amazing.

[@Who-Are-I]

I just thought of that too

[@Metalbeast46934]

Especially when he o er loads his flying machine with them

[@jaunusender6166]

They also can convert logic blocks into more bacteria.

[@-user_redacted-]

If they're able to launch the emp that could make for a fun race

[@OilyChunk6]

making a bomb with bacteria in it and launching it onto a vehicule could be nice, especialy with emp concept

[@archidonwarrior]

multiplayer monday idea: create a car that can drive over a patch of the bacteria (or have someone place a block of it on you) and see how far you can get! Add obstacles to steer around, add jumps for that last second effort, this could be really cool. there could be different strategies for making redundant wheels, redundant connections, is having one block connecting your seat to the rest of the creation a good idea or a bad one? choosing which path to take is a whole nother deal also. I think this could really be an interesting and complex challenge! :D

[@ctsquad501st3]

There needs to be one that spreadsheet slower

[@error_ventus0078]

Hey scrapman I was wondering if these blocks can be placed in chests because if you can, you can just reverse vacuum block it from the chest and have a sensor to then detect another creation to place it on another creation (an idea for the infection multiplayer monday)

[@funkynibblet]

There are so many multiplayer Monday ideas that come to mind with these blocks. Can't wait to see what you do with them.

[@drive_6665]

Since there are objects immune to the bacteria effects, I think you could have a game of tag Something like you have an amount of blocks isolated from the rest of the creation and your objective is to infect the other players creations before those blocks are gone. You would need a small arena or a lot of blocks to carry the bacteria if you wanna have rounds longer than a couple seconds tho

Scrapman! This might not be possible but I was wondering if the bacteria can be placed on/inside glass blocks, I think it would look really cool seeing the bacteria spread from the inside out!

[@randomman8949]

Please do multiplayer Monday with this in some way, pretty please😂

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

Imagine a hide and seek map with this slowly destroying all the hiding spots and revealing your location

[@austinclark3495]

I had a similar idea

[@ckinggaming5bucketmadness766]

That is a good one

[@Metalbeast46934]

Imagine these as projectile weapons! The green is an acid, the fire is incendiary, and the electric is an EMP!! THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL WITH THESE BLOCKS!!!!

[@ramonopia]

17:30 I love that a fast-forward explosion look like a little *pop*

[@Pystro]

Here's an idea for a multiplayer challenge: If it's hard to carry bacteria somewhere, then why not make that the challenge? Whoever carries their bacteria the furthest (before it fizzles out or the creation becomes undriveable) wins. Obviously you'd have a number of parts limit on the craft (and you can't use any parts that are too large to be infected except for 4 wheels, 1 seat, 1 engine). Distance would be measured by the players having to infect certain target objects after each lap (a brick, a wedge, pineapple on pizza, broccoli, ...) - which adds an additional building constraint, because you'll want the bacteria in the front of your creation. (To lower the risk of bacteria spreading between those target objects, you can spawn them in from your lift right before you try to infect them.)

[@mus_xr4653]

Multiplayer idea. One person is infected with the fungi and tries to infect the others before he dissolves completely.

[@mrpickle4976]

a really fun multiplayer monday idea would be to make some sort of bacteria launcher out of blocks that aren’t broken by the bacteria, and tot try and take down your opponents. the catch would be that you aren’t out until your vehicle can’t drive anymore, so you could win even if your vehicle is on the brink of breaking

[@yjoth3977]

directional bacteria spawner might be useful for multiplayer mondays

[@CodeWeaver]

You realize the next stage of this is to make a projectile weapon with this stuff. A cannon, a trebuchet/catapult, whatever... Whether it fires once before it eats itself, or whether the ordnance has a tiny pellet placed at its core or on top or whatever and very QUICKLY launched.... castle wars? Two big castles, and the only weaponry you're allowed to use is _launched_ bacteria from the other castles? The stakes are SERIOUSLY high if you do not handle your own ordnance very VERY carefully. The loser is the one who gets reduced to less than 10% of their castle first. Possible rule: You're allowed to 'put out' enemy bacteria by destroying it yourself, if you're fast enough but that does come at the cost of damaging your _own_ castle.

[@notonlyhuman6073]

Remember the Multiplayer Monday challenge where vacuum pumps were used to weigh down boats with vacuum pump cannons filled with concrete? Could do something similar with the bacteria blocks. But on another note, this mod has huge potential for challenge mode! Imagine having to navigate levels without getting infected! Or quickly escape areas that are actively disintegrating and exploding! There could be challenges (like the CyberPunk themed one that was featured a while back) where you’re escaping from some corrupt authority, armed with EMP cannons that will disable your vehicle if your not careful or skilled enough. Instead of just using mobs and spuds as baddies in challenges, there’s a whole new variety of danger to add into levels! I wanna buy scrap mechanic so bad now lol!

[@-FARKI]

was thinking the same thing with the vacuum pumps. Its a shame you cant use mods in challange mode..

[@notonlyhuman6073]

No mods in challenge mode? Man! That sucks.. I didn’t know that

[@braydenshanower4894]

New multiplayer Monday Idea: You attach portals to the front of your own cars and do a demolition derby

[@graylinbeaudry4651]

you've showcased quite a few mods and I still think it'd be pretty cool for each of you to build a challenge for each other based on a you'd each like to share. different mods? all the same mod? you're the expert.

[@cheazzila2906]

I’d love to see a multiplayer Monday with this mod adapted to zombie cars. You gotta infect people by touching them and transferring the bacteria before it destroys your car.

[@VroomNDoom2602]

I love all the destroyed parts lying around at the end.

[@haydenhouston2650]

This would be really cool to use for Multiplayer episodes! Battles, endurance, sabotage, etc.

[@the-anonymouse]

I wish the electric bacteria just stayed around, you could make some really cool effects with it, flickering lights, broken doors, the random activation could make things like that seem so natural since they’d lack a pattern.

[@blackopsmajorr5]

Multiplayer Monday challenge with a vehicular fight/race using bacteria sabo? Or an mm challenge to build a vehicle to survive infections for the longest period. Hover air craft battle with infections. Rounds based on which infection active and longst in air wins, players choose infection start point for your own craft or maybe opponents.

[@DemonKing19951]

I think a multiplayer monday where you all build machines that have to try to race while being eaten would be interesting. The challenge being to build something fool proof enough to finish that lap of the course before too many vital systems get destroyed. For consistency sake each creation would probably be required to be required to have a 'flag pole' a certain height, allowing dispensers to plant bacteria at the beginning of each lap. The other fun one I can think of, though it might be kind of laggy, is playing the floor is lava. Just plant a couple of red and green bacterial blocks onto several sections of terrain and try knock each other off of it using drift vehicles. I'm thinking of that old crash party game where you're all on the ice burg and have to knock each other off without falling off yourselves for this one. Main difference the arena is naturally shrinking (and exploding) as the round goes on.

[@jadenmccall818]

If the blue one could spread faster, or have some activating catalyst, you could use it to create EMPs!!! Make a missile with both the bacteria and the catalyst and have them connect on impact or on a timer. I don’t even have the game yet but I’ve been watching your videos for a while and I like to think of creations lol. You make great content and honestly brighten my day. I know it’s a bit late, but happy new year!

[@vlogswagon2342]

My idea would be to create a racetrack out of blocks and before the race starts add a bacteria block that decays the racetrack behind you

[@0NightRage]

12:00 Could be possible if you're doing a Castle Siege, with catapults/trebuchets. One single block placed on a boulder would allow the boulder to fly long enough to land. Only problem is you'd have to fix your treb/catapult every time. Buuut if you use parts bigger than a 1x1, since bacteria cant infect larger blocks, you shouldnt lose any. Would be a neat idea.

[@mcqueen10.]

2 ideas. Bacteria escape rooms where you use the bacteria to escape, and bacteria racing where all players have a bacteria attached to the front of their vehicle and you have to get the farthest to win rather than crossing a finish line.

[@justsomeperson5110]

It's a shame that there's no counter-agent to these infections. If you can shoot the infections out of vacuum cannons, that might have some Multiplayer Monday challenge fun. It'd be REALLY neat if survival mode could have bots that shoot these at you. (As if tape bots aren't deadly enough.) But ... again ... without some kind of foil to stop the infection, it'd just be a base destroyer unless you were REALLY on top of deconstructing infected parts of a base. Basically, it'd suck without something like a anti-bac gun. (Or fire extinguisher.) Though ... water ... while making no sense, would be an easy enough game mechanic to implement? Maybe? It's an interesting mod at least. Hopefully we see more from it.

[@nathanreder6191]

Thought of this almost instantly: Cheese Touch One person drives around in a vehicle avoiding two or three others with a bacteria block place on their vehicle on a spot of their choosing. All chasing parties get to create an individual vehicle they believe will work best at surviving while trying to "infect" the runner(s). The runner will win if they are not infected or survive infection, and the infected will win if the runner's vehicle perishes. To make it more interesting, the two infected could use alternate bacteria so that they have incentive to work together to infect the runner. Further idea: The runner could be allowed to create a vehicle that "let's go of" or amputates certain infected parts.

[@dragonamberina]

Idea for a race: Giant platform, bacteria will slowly eat it while you and the other guys have to escape to the other end of the platform in vehicles build earlier in the video. The twist is that you have to make a vehicle that uses no wheels or thrusters to out run the bacteria.

[@ApotheosisStone]

The red and green bacteria could work for a slow race like rock/wall crawler on block made course or a huge arena. Emp would be good in a battle royal. Fire maybe could be a fire fighter challenge or escape room. If the mod could be changed to let you change rate of infection and how long after a block gets infected it disappears you could do some cooler stuff, if say red doesn't disappear you could have a course turning green and vehicles turning red then if any part of a vehicle not wheels, engine, or thruster touches the course yo get explosion. I might also suggest two other ideas for the mod creator. bacteria that float or at least change the weight of blocks sporadically and bacteria that act like magnets and either pull metal to them or once they touch metal or other magnets they fuse them so you can get stuck on things and have to amputate. If you could automate the spawn of fire you might be able to create something that fires them randomly and everybody uses wood creations or has wood castles to protect.

[@CptMaistro]

That the bacteria eats until it's gone is how it should work. Bacteria needs a host, so if the host dies/disappears the bacteria would have the same fate

[@gruntonium1669]

this really reminds me of the very ineffective debris remover mod in teardown, it actively corrodes things, exept it does that to everything damaged and dynamic, but not as a block that can be applied

[@netzachtheunholy]

one person running around with the electric bacteria trying to put it on other peoples cars as a multiplayer monday. that would be fun to watch

[@Elliasal]

This would be a fun mod to play with in some of the old community worlds like the tree house, such a legendary series scrap!

[@wedge612]

Idea for multiplayer Monday: build a electric bacteria taser for stoping cars in a police chase

[@megamindluigi1138]

omg a glass cube would be so cool with this, you could see it grow on the inside

[@MissingMan2000]

A bac cannon. Place bacteria on sensor and it will be fired off in whatever direction you desire. Posting this demonstration over this coming spring break

[@djplays2157]

this would make great multiplayer monday idea

[@garymerfdudegui9452]

Racing with dissolving cars, if/when your car isn’t drivable you have to go back to a checkpoint or something, and you can bump into your friends cars to gift them a faster demise. Or something like this

[@savior.p.9651]

For your multiplayer idea, you could try using a cardboard dispenser to keep the bacteria fed. And by the looks of it you could isolate it with some of the pieces that it doesn't spread to.

[@Peekofwar]

There should be a containment block added so that you can experiment inside of a lab without the lab getting eaten to bits.

[@williamhess180]

you know that you have to troll kan and moonbo with this. it's a moral imperative

[@MikuJess]

In terms of uses, they seem like good randomizers. For example, put a red and green at opposite ends of a long beam so that when they meet, the explosion destroys a soundmaker of some sort, and then use it to play musical ~~chairs~~ toilets.

[@melodycrihfield3721]

This mod absolutely NEEDS to get in multiplayer monday

[@johncage5368]

I assume keeping those bacteria alive in a scenario might work by putting an infected piece or a few pieces in a stable container (they/some seem not to eat metal) and auto feed it a block of whatever it likes best, just as in a farming feeder setup. ... might get a bit large to shove into a friendly pvp bio w ea pon though. ;) ... so a bacteria spawner would be an interesting addition to that game mod.

[@jeffthemagicalpufferfishco9006]

Infection multiplayer would actually be awesome with this mod, imagine running away after getting tagged and having to amputate a leg and get back on before you get tagged again. Each creation could have multiple sets of wheels Incase one needs to be sacrificed, and you'd constantly be choosing between running and trying to poke someone with your blocks. You could also have parts that purposefully detach to create a minefield that'll hit people if they chase after you. Too bad they don't have plague spawners or blocks that are immune to hold them

[@Morphster2018]

It would be interesting to have a elevated platform and infect that with bacteria and have to try to stay on the platform and try not to have your creation get infected as well, and also this would be so cool if there were bacteria spudguns you could shoot at people to infect them. Good job on the video also.

[@foreverfafnir6177]

Definitely should do this on multiplayer Monday

[@rextalk3840]

This would be so cool for a Multiplayer Monday game!

[@short0811]

I just had an idea to mod this mod for multiplayer Mondays. Make these blocks shootable with mounted spudguns and make a two-person race with them. One on the turrent and one driving and trying to avoid the other car's turrent! That would be an amazing/hilarious race! Maybe make cars with logic-controlled controls and have the spud gun shoot the EMP blocks? That would be wonderful.

[@Robonoob_per]

Good idea only I don’t think scrapping will read ur comment since it’s 4 days late

[@short0811]

@Steve Haan I'm sure you're correct but an idea should be shared if you find value in it.

[@-zsh]

i want to see this used in a multiplayer monday episode. like maybe use the electric one on the course or on a pole on the creation to disrupt eachother

[@aidanmanning1878]

Please do some multiplayer stuff with this! Love your vids!!!

[@newclearNRG]

tower defense would be cool. you could launch cubes of the stuff at players vehicles

[@Dylan-fj1yh]

Someone should make this a survival mod where your creations slowly rot/rust over time (But maybe make some blocks rot/rust proof)

[@swampcooler8332]

It would be cool if there was a bacteria that doesn't do large scale destruction, but instead lingers and covertly hides from you, weakens blocks, messes with but doesn't completely break logic blocks, solidifies bearings and pistons, locks up thrusters, sometimes kills crops, ect. Contaminated blocks stack with their uncontaminated counterparts, and can spread through the inventory screen and look almost identical to normal blocks. You know what, maybe this doesn't fit scrap mechanic the greatest, this should be it's own game, and managing infection could be one of the core gameplay loops

[@TheFrozenKoroNeko]

Two things I think the red bacteria that explodes with the green one is supposed to be placed first so they can meet more at a midway point and that there used to be mod in minecraft like this that had an item called a bacteria jammer that deactivated the bacteria and there was a replacer block that replaces the blocks below with what was above it like diamond blocks but was old maybe 10yrs ago at least before the elytra and shields even

[@Taladar2003]

These have some potential for some of your multiplayer races or other games.

[@lemurl7657]

Multiplayer Monday idea: Have two teams, one or two people on a flying creation, and have one of the crew members try and place electric bacteria on another's ship to try and make them fall from the sky! The teams whose creation touches the ground first or goes below an altitude limit loses!

[@PortalPlaya]

this would be funny to put one of them on your opponents creations in a build battle, or make a challenge where you have to build something that can more effectively defend against them.

[@Marty_playzz]

9:19 you could use this concept to make portals appear out of nowhere and it would be cool

[@samcooke7924]

A platform that you have to use cars to stay on but there is bacteria eating at it and last one standing wins.

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

Oh scrappers, you completely missed 1 implication... So red and green meet and explode... They then send infected blocks flying in all directions... what happens if htose infected blocks... LAND... on other creations? Even being seperated isn't "safe" because the red/green could throw infections around to other creations.. causing more and more... fun.

[@jeffrey4359]

Imagine a series like this Post apocalyptic The bacteria is unsafe to touch And will eat anything it can touch Different variants Imagining a scene where a vehicle is this disintegrating and scrap man jumps out trying to make it to some end possibly A cure?

[@jaxoncouch1949]

12:20 your answer to keep the block is to put it in containment (after you put it on the pedestal) your pedestal is a thruster. Put your one block of bacteria on the corner of a thruster block and put a pipe connected to the wall that way it don't fall over. if you do a video on this I'll tell you if you did it right.

[@qmerk2661]

id assume your not planning on playing survival until chapter 2 comes out, but that be really cool(nostalgic in a way) to watch you do one last survival series in chapter 1.

[@WD-1477]

*this warrants an infection Multiplayer Monday maybe a race where the person going for their timed run has a block attached to the car and you have to complete the lap/laps fastest as you are losing your vehicle? There is definitely something here with these blocks!*

[@iduno3592]

Hm, the main game I could think of playing with something like this is a Spleef sort of thing if you have ever played that, where the floor is constantly falling out from under you and you need to stay on the move to avoid elimination. Something like that where bacteria is placed at various points across a large area and you make vehicles designed to outrun or survive the bacteria as long as possible. EDIT: Not only that but it would be cool to see it spread to the players' vehicles if you get too close.

[@itayvolk]

12:20 you could use two pumps and constantly switch which one shoots so that there's always a block for it to infect

[@willrobson7265]

If there was an inert version of the electric bacteria, it would make a really cool logic randomiser

[@RealPanzer999]

You could do a 1v1 with the red & green bacteria with the MM-crew where each player places their bacteria somewhere in their area & tries to beat out the other player by having their bacteria survive. Also it seemed like the electric bacteria is capable of remotely infecting logic-gates, thus the strange behaviour of the flyer even though the first bacteria was on top.

[@shadowscooby5376]

Y'all should totally have a logic powered race with the electric bacteria

[@vitalikbaird3248]

This would be great for a multiplayer monday

[@MrGantron414]

Idea. Infect a blueprint. SAVE the blueprint. Have your friends race em and watch their reactions when the cars start falling apart

[@Game0ver4309]

What if you made catapults/launchers out of the parts that don't get affected and shoot them at eachother. You could do something like dodgeball, just general chasing or maybe a gauntlet of sorts that you have to get through. And if you are worried about them dissapearing before you launch them, maybe try using a vaccuum pump and a chest. This mod would make an amazing Multiplayer Monday video.

[@thundrr1929]

Reminds me of an old minecraft mod that did the same. Nostalgic.

[@nickcbr650r]

I see soo many multiplayer monday challenges possible with this mod but the mod will need some stuff like bacteria gun for dogfights with this and like scrapman said the possibility to tell it to stop or control its spread

[@ChaosOnyx]

I can't wait for players to be able to make mods that add custom creatures / bots

[@onimanakuri333]

Multiplayer Monday. Tag, where 1 person is infected. Or have vacuum pump shoot the infected blocks. You can allow people to get out and try to cut off blocks around the infection to save themselves, but you could do a last man standing that way. Everyone gets 2 guns. Pick your 2 colors of Infection in the pumps. Or make them rotate shots. A lot of potentia

[@Bill2bearockstar]

Best idea I have for you for MPM is to do a race where all of your vehicles have an infection and it's just to see who gets farthest while disintegrating.

[@xcr8ivex708]

You can do a sort of Anti-Air with the EMP. You could Incase it with an explosive behind it (like a bullet or shot gun shell) and have it act like a shotgun, taking down anything in the air. (You ofcourse have to keep the EMP/electric bacteria away from any logic)

[@zz-ch7qs]

The last sped up “scene“ looked exactly like firework 🔥 🧨

[@bjrnfrederiksson2505]

I definitely agree that it would be cool to play Tac with a block of bacteria let them rust or get eaten up.

[@Yesenn]

Failing to spread the fire bacteria is like trying to light up a campfire or something when it's cold and windy.

[@AgemoMath]

The electrical bacteria can probably make mountable spudguns shoot randomly so imagine playing 4 spudguns and 4 electrical bacteria you can just have a spudling turret

[@bluebeagle2641]

What about a winding coil on top of an ai missile, and it tracks the nearest player ,you could go to the zero g dome and challenge kan and kasmo and respawn missiles,or maby have despencers on the front to despence bacteria at a certain distance? So basically zero g, bacteria missile avoiding, spaceship tag

[@leosspace1630]

i think it will be fun to test is there way to protect creation from effect of the electric bacteria. Like detector that senses if the signal is defected by bacteria

[@benmcbride3721]

Add the blocks to a spinning centrifuge and have target of different values surrounding so when it eats through the infection flys off and infects the target giving you a score

[@goop9086]

This needs to be a multiplayer monday

[@lukefirelord627]

They should make like an anti bacterial block that bacteria can’t spread through. This way you can transport bacteria or play bacteria tag

[@mrbbgum9599]

Scrapman says there is no way to have an inginite source of bacteria, that makes me wonder if he could use vacuum pumps to place the blocks?

[@-user_redacted-]

Someone could probably make a pretty good adventure map using this mod if it's possible for certain surfaces to only be affected by certain effects.

[@TheTenzen12]

multiplier: create big flat arena and you can put bacteria blocks. Last man not falling through arena is winner.
