This Update WILL Change EVERYTHING ! Scrap Mechanic Survival Update | Z1 Gaming

[@jackharold6547]

The red farmbots have a ranged poison attack which sprays a purple gas that is the same shade as chemical lakes/jars

[@pixy6239]

yeah but shooting chems does nothing rn, for now its just a dedicated chest for chems

[@cubeice2811]

i think you missed the point. while i've never tried it, i believe that in the past you couldn't pump chems and now, because of that, you can.

[@GreenfaceONE]

I was thinking the same thing. Maybe a poison/corrosive weapon is in the works?

[@jackharold6547]

@@GreenfaceONE that would be awesome

[@cubeice2811]

@@GreenfaceONE maybe it comes from inside the warehouses or from farmbots. I like the idea

[@theorangecactus2177]

One way to make sure all the seeds are used in some way is to either make multiple ways to make fertilizer (Have multiple crafting recipes with different seed types as input) or have a way of selecting three seed types to craft your fertilizer with.

[@shawns.3376]

That's awesome! Still would like to see a basic map though, doesn't have to be detailed, just enough to bring it up, get a general sense of where I am and where my base is, that's it. Otherwise, I am having a lot fun with survival :D

[@flaredradiators]

Paint was a 1:1 , 10 flowers for 10 paint, but now it's half, so it easier to get without having as much paint.

[@delvideki2918]

it was 5 paint for 10 flowers. or actually it still is until the update :)

[@hzyalpha]

10 to 5 ratio

[@dyllanshaw9014]

Not sure if you know or not already, but when crafting in the craft bot, you can click the little repeat symbol so you don't have to do individual queues

[@GamingMaster007]

You could already auto get chemicals... with a pump and chest lol

[@GameHopping]

Probably going to need the Chem container now for that.

[@a.c.2659]

@@GameHopping makes sense

[@EDreyer]

Will be used in the future to connect to new types of blocks like the fuel container connects to engines.

[@legonerdxl3058]

Yeah but the container is cheaper, I don't have to spend 3 precious component kits

[@lordawid]

@@GameHopping I don't think so. Water can also be pumped to chest, and I think that the same thing will happen with chemicals

[@dapimasta6809]

they should add chemical pumps and cannons that hurt all bots

[@pixy6239]

u can use a pump to shoot chems but it dosent do damage

[@milkman.5862]

Unless the chemicals are acid, launching chemicals at bots should only slow them down imo

[@yankeevader]

Even with the update I still prefer the harvesting boost mod as it combines the drops instead of 3 individual clams they stack 3 in a single drop which I find nicer personally

[@eternalpixie7619]

The chemical container is for collecting the chemical from the lakes of chemical, it was a pain to collect for making concrete, but now should be good with a pump just like water.

[@tgoddard1988]

Maybe they’re saving the potatoes for the wodka update? 😂😂

[@StixFerryMan]

Actually, a alt fuel recipe would be good.

[@NeedaNewAlias]

Can you connect the water cannon to the chemical container?

[@ladyauliya6421]

That was my thought. Flame thrower?

[@pixy6239]

no, you can use a vaccum pump to shoot them though, but shooting chems dosent do anything yet, also you can just shoot chems from chests too with a pump

[@dstroyanddcoy1932]

I think it’s just to make gathering chemicals for concrete easier

[@ujvxyjbxdg]

@@dstroyanddcoy1932 you could just connect it to a chest and it's more storage

[@DrDailbo]

the chemical container can be used to mine chemicals with a vacuum pump. If someone made a 'concrete processing station' near water and a chemical factory it would be very useful. You also may be able to shoot it out of a water cannon.

[@pixy6239]

first of all, you can just use a large chest with a pump, and you cant shoot chems with the cannon, but you can shoot them with a pump set to output but it dosent do damage or anything yet

[@nat8231]

I think at some point they’re going to allow a way to make water drinkable, maybe by sanitising it using chemical or something. This will likely require some kind of purifier, maybe needing pipe runs from chemical and water storage to create a smaller unit of drinkable water?

[@ngthav]

recharge batteries I hope they add to the game

[@Oszilgath]

Good to see they improved that oil grind, but it´s still not worthy for a mechanic to dive through lakes instead of just building an oil pump.

[@GoshkaPolska]

I think the Chemical container might be for geting/colecting the chemicals in the large pools/bays in the chemical plants? not sure though.

[@nousername8162]

Probably

[@whusmanameAtGeeMail]

The interactive chest already works for this function, so does that mean that functionality will be removed in favour of using the chemical container instead?

[@hardcorerunner2354]

you are right you can get chemicals from the pink pools, u can also use a bucket

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

@@whusmanameAtGeeMail probably not since collecting water isn't restricted to the water container

[@gunna2cool]

The containers always seem to be more for dispensing than collection

[@imTsaky]

Chemical container works exactly like water container but it is used on chemical, you can connect a pump and gather chemical directly from a chemical pool without using bucket and crafting.

[@pixy6239]

or use a chest

[@Gamechk]

I believe, since we need more chemical for crafting and stuffs, there must be a possibility that we can pump the chemical from chemical lake similar to the water. In that case chemical container comes handy.

[@_zene]

The chemical container could be used for the water cannon.

[@liveepically]

potato seeds should jsut be potoatos. You can shoot one, or plant it and get 5.

[@dirxgaming952]

Chemical containers!? My guess would be pesticides for insects? Or something to do with a mounted spud gun?

[@tobypass108]

Strange to have a chemical container as you can use a normal chest to collect it with a vacuum pump. May be the devs removed that?

[@pixy6239]

nope

[@karremania]

Its like they been scraping reddit on all the different scripts and mods, then just wrap it up in a update? The chem container was already added in the may update, just in the 'in conderation' scripts, you could already use it at the chem plant with a vaccuum pump. All nice script changes, but i rather see fixes to the game, the 'glitching' of long beams, the cars going bumpy when too fast, the random pistons going mental, proper core game stuff and not just some editing on some script files.

[@CrypticConsole]

Your vehicle is poorly designed it's not a bug

[@slicethebread4117]

You can use suspension... that’s why they have both racing for roads and off-road for... offroad

[@hunterd78]

the chemical container has been in the code for a long time, glad they finally implemented it, but like you said i am not sure what its use is going to be. must be something coming in a future update.

[@ujvxyjbxdg]

You could connect the chem container to the hydro cannon

[@saeklin]

Another change is that reverting an object's paint color now doesn't use paint, which is pretty nice.

[@redvemr]

I think the container will be used for the weapon that the big red boss has when they add that.

[@a.c.2659]

or a engine that runs on chemical :)))))

[@ssumbody6251]

Or maybe being able to use the water cannon to fire chemical to do damage?

[@a.c.2659]

Yep

[@a.c.2659]

Maybe both😅

[@lightdeck8357]

the chemical container is for automating the collection of chems. for concrete and other stuff

[@kghkarim]

If you've seen bass use a chemical weapon, use Mountable Spudgun and chemical Container on a car, Maybe it works.

[@psychomacho8815]

they also should add circuits to the recepy of the battery

[@SchizoidPersonoid]

wouldn't make any sense. batteries can be used in circuits but they don't contain any circuitry themselves.

[@Drippiest_menace]

Because you use seeds to make furdilzer are the plants technically doing cannibalism 🤔

[@newbetacraft8543]

I wonder if you can pump up the chemical lakes now

[@a.c.2659]

it would be amazing

[@harlyquin]

you already can before this update.

[@hunterd78]

yeah, what harlyquin said, just using a chest.

[@pixy6239]

people can be idiots... i cant believe not many people just used a chest

[@baptiste9187]

Thé chemical container is useful when you go to the “pink lake” so you can take some chemicals thanks to a pump (like w/ water and the water container)

[@koolotzmelland3400]

Those are great changes. When will this update be available? And please make the corn bollard breakable by vehicles, and yes i call it "CORN BOLLARD". I get that trees are tough but corn, it doesn't make sense and it's annoying. Even without drops.

[@honestgoat]

YAAAAAY!!!!! Clam & Oil grinding was m least favourite part of the game. And batteries too. Sweet. Also. Im wondering if the chemical container is used like the water cannon, but with chemicals. The stuff IS corrosive. When you touch it it hurts you. Maybe it corrodes bots. Other possible use is for fertilizer maybe? Add fertilizer cannon to your automated farming setup.

[@dexgaming6394]

I think the chemical container has the same use as the water container. You could just attach a pump to a large chest, so I can't think what other use it has

[@KurNorock]

I hope the update allows me to actually play "Scrap Mechanic" instead of "Lag Management 2020" like I have been for the last 3 weeks.

[@googsson8246]

What if you connect the water cannon to the chemical container and then it shots chemicals instead of water, it'd be like the cannon the farmbots (big reds) have and it would damage bots as well. That would be cool

[@Subnatica_fan]

The chemical thing makes power

[@auricvitalitypranichealingasmr]

Maybe a vehicle that sprays chemicals at bots like the red ones do at players, not sure if it affects them differently than water tho

[@pixy6239]

shooting chems atm dosent do anything to bots

[@landsquid9509]

that means you can make boss bot creations

[@ClaymooreEOC]

And he STILL hasnt removed the scrap wood "temporary" bits from the observation tower.

[@CXA26483]

Never comment, but you've been able to take chemicals from the purple pools found in the world and pump them into chests via a vacuum pump for a long time... The chemical chest is likely the only viable method for this in the update.

[@jackharold6547]

I know that chemicals hurt players maybe it will be used for a death supersoaker or maybe the chem comtainer will let you use a gas bomb, Like the ones on the Farmbots

[@TJizzyProd]

you can pump things out of the chemical ponds with the container.

[@manash121]

Try connecting water pump to chemical container to extract chemical from chemical factory.

[@eatmysword2432]

You could use the chemical holder for the chemical buildings

[@calman2871]

The chemical container has the same purpose as a water container you get a vacuum pump and put it in a chemical lake and can get chemical from it

[@jasper9673]

The chemical container can be used as a water container but at the chemical lake

[@hunterd78]

i wish they would make the current inventory amount shown to an actual number rather than an '*' if you have more than 999 of something.

[@harlyquin]

im guessing instead of just using a large chest to pump chemicals into you will now have to use this new chemical box instead, same as how the water is pumped

[@pixy6239]

no, you can still use chests

[@magepunk7711]

And you can use chests for water. Dedicated chests are for things to be delivered from. Spudguns, water cannons, and gascans. It's probably for something we haven't seen yet.

[@harlyquin]

@@magepunk7711 i hope so.

[@longhornboi16]

[@b0bst3r]

I've been getting x4 drops on oil regularly.

[@Steve-sp4rx]

Would be cool if you could put Fertilizer in the chem container to auto fertilize.

[@pixy6239]

in the games files is a fertilizer container

[@Spork15]

Maybe the container is now used for auto getting chemicals so it isn't possible with a chest anymore?

[@MrZwardon]

[@pixy6239]

u can use a chest too

[@archwolf3835]

Fertilizer should be made with chemicals as they are irl. I would rather have more uses for chemicals because they seem useless, besides for explosives and concrete, and those giant chemical ponds would be much more of a point of interest
