About Scrap Mechanic:
Scrap Mechanic is an all-new creative multiplayer sandbox game which drops you right into a world where you quite literally engineer your own adventures! Choose from the 100+ building parts you have at your disposal and create anything from crazy transforming vehicles to a house that moves. You’re even able to team up with your friends to create amazing things together: in Scrap Mechanic, you’re the master creator of anything you can imagine!
Here’s the deal: you’re a robot maintenance mechanic en route to your posting on a fully-automated agriculture planet. Your job is to take care of the worker robots as they work the land, sending the food they produce to the metropolitan planets. Thing is, close to touchdown your spacecraft loses control and crashes, but since you’ve got luck on your side (erm…), you survive! You’re stranded though, and at first glance you find that not everything’s quite as it should be. The Farmbots working the fields have gone crazy, and now there’s only one way to stay alive: using your quick thinking, your creativity and your wily knack of turning your surroundings to your advantage.

It's the same problem like the boat in Co-op you just need another driver seat.

[@Psycorde]

Or put the existing one in the middle and distribute remaining components symmetrically

[@chasetoyama8184]

@@Psycorde Driver seats are even width. The car is odd width. It’d work with a saddle seat, but not with a regular seat, which he has.

[@mrbeeznz5196]

So, the reason this is so unstable and spins (my theory at least), is that it's top heavy compare to where the thrust is pushing, like balancing a broom on the tip of your finger. So you try and correct a tilt but by then it's already tilted more, so you correct, and so on. It may not be a fix, but if you move the thrusters up a little (even tho it looks cool how it is), or move the center of mass down, it might be easier to control. Another potential fix is if you put 2 opposing rotating disks on the flyer it might stable out, they don't have to be very big I don't think, but just to add some gyro stabilizing like Kans helicopter to help you out. Another factor to think about while making flyers (and hovercrafts) is that weight is a big player. Obviously it helps to be light. But you need inertia so the craft isn't twitchy, but too much inertia (from weight) makes it too tifficult to react, and therefore recover from spinouts. It's a fine balancing game when it comes to weight. Yet again, these aren't guaranteed to work, they are just my ideas.

[@Layow.]

Yeah, it's all about center of thrust and center of mass. Your analogy with the broom was spot on! Hats of to you, for giving such detailed feedback!

[@mikejefferys2528]

How to fix the flying truck Step 1 invite kAN to have a good laugh at what he'd think is a simple mistake Step 2 have kAN do his fix Step 3 realise he's made it worse and revert to current version Step 4 learn to deal with how it flies as it looks brilliant as it is

[@flashlp3001]

You forgot the preparation... Introduce yourself, like this...0:01

[@Pikachuthepika010]

Yep

[@estonianperson1112]

you nailed it! lol

[@JustIn-sr1xe]

Fliers are usually quite expensive to run. My first one is like a halfway between yours and kAN's. Flies and lands like a copter. But, also includes some ineffective angled, ground sensing hover jets. 20 blocks isn't enough for a sensor. Nor fish eye vision. You've done well on the design front though. Managed to keep that rugged jeep look with a fairly stable flight core.

[@Bill2bearockstar]

18:05 The thrusters are beneath your center of mass. That makes it unstable. Your vehicle's balanced state is upside down.

[@AgentWest]

After that intro you have to start a second channel, "Astronaut", where all videos from this channel are dubbed in Russian/Ukranian :)

[@darealkosmo]

haha! man, I can barely keep up with one channel! :P

[@P901337]

I love intro, never be ashamed of who you are 👍🏼

[@error_ventus0078]

Yes

[@luckyswordsmen991]

Agreed.

[@luckyswordsmen991]

@Achi 77 was it tho?

[@rocketeer8719]

So from my own experience with scrap mechanic flyers, the left to right yaw, aka the list your experiencing is unavoidable without some yaw stabilization using smth like a suspension stabilizer. It shouldn’t hamper your flying experience too much assuming the thrust vector is facing straight up I.e. it’s balanced. Also I think you shouldn’t have the thrusters facing diagonally like that, since it doesn’t actually increase stability, That’s the rocket fallacy (it’s on Google) I mean it looks great honestly but a lot of the fuel is being wasted to the side ways thrust, that’s in the end just being canceled out, I think a 30 degrees max relative to the vertical is optimal.

[@rocketeer8719]

Keep up the spectacular work! Here’s a tip: it’s worth it to get frictionless block from warehouses and combine it with a thruster sled, yes I know it’s a lot of explosives buttttttt, you won’t regret it

[@anthonyaraujo2826]

I agree... you're losing a lot of thrust due to the diagonal thrusters... it looks cool, but is chewing through your fuel... thrusters at a lower angle to vertical will give you more "actual" thrust (since you won't be spitting it out to the side as much). This will allow you to lower the thruster settings, saving fuel, and still give you some angle control to go up and down as you please. Just find the sweet spot on your initial angle to give you something close to neutral buoyancy. Probably something like 30 degrees as mentioned by @Rocketeer above I like to set my flyers so that they sink gradually, and I can then just give it a little boost whenever I'm below my desired altitude. But for that, you have to use "pulsed" thrusters. By having them set up to sink gradually, I save myself the hassle when I accidentally jump out of a seat while in the air. A deadman switch is nice, but doing it with sensors is "sketchy". If you decide to go with a Fant-modded world, there is a "character detector" block that reliably tells you whether someone is in the seat or not. Problem with sensors is that as your character "jiggles" in the seat, in reaction to movement, it drops in and out of the sensor's field of vision. You can solve that by using multiple sensors (if positioned right, 2 or 3 seem to do the trick), but that's kind of expensive and hard to place in a way that looks good. Hopefully, at some point in the future, Axolot can revamp sensors so we can adjust the width and height of the field, similar to how we currently adjust depth. That would be sweet! But yeah... love your videos!

[@DB-he6ng]

You should totally go for a Fant mod survival series! It really opens up a whole new world!!

[@jaunusender6166]

The style is great, I was happy to see the weight balance was fixed when the weld was fixed. And yes, stayed true to it's predecessor. Maybe you can fix the collision with stubby wide pipes. Just balancing where in the angles you put them you may be able to just use one per wheel well.

[@estonianperson1112]

Hah I saw you had 1 unavailible video in your survival playlist and knew it's gonna be for today lol

[@EricLinstone]

I've found that using a gas engine for the pitch glitch works really great. It's incredibly responsive and you can hook it right to the seat. So you press W to tilt down and S to tilt back. No need to rebind keys to controllers. Props to Fant00 for showing me that trick. As for the rest of it, people seem to have good suggestions. Pull rather than push when it comes to thrust and balance, balance, balance.

[@deuterium_oxide7382]

cool idea, well executed, also great intro, like the russian, also you could have deconstructed the truck around the spinny wheel so the wheel could stay there, but just removing it works i guess

[@nightcrawlerau919]

Kosmo! You need a really terrible/weak stabilizer glitch Of the flyers I’ve made in the past, one was super touchy and unflyable, I added a weak stabilizer so it cancels out the twitchiness, making it feel more planted :)

[@darkwarrior1588]

you could slip a 1x1x3 stabilizer glitch inbetween the fuel tanks in he back. its a bit tricky to make but al magma has a tutorial

[@icetech4533]

I am actually amaze that cosmo wants to learn 14:28

[@Cybot_2419]

Likely the variation in thrust of the individual thrusters is causing the spinning behavior. This is amplified by having the thrusters on a high level and far away form the center, causing variations in thrust to result in high torque. If the thrusters ware at or close to the center of mass, then this effect would be drastically reduced. Having the Thrusters far outwards does not make it more stable like you said, as the thrusters are rigidly attached and are not individually controlled.

[@crayder1100]

Love vanilla... but I would recommend fant mod for survival. Much better progression, stuff for flyers, etc.

[@aelsi2]

Damn, Kosmo speaking in russian sounds so cursed.

[@Petq011]

The fix for it is the same as with Lada... put a sack of potatoes (in this case more concrete) under the passenger seat until it's stable. :D It just needs more weight since the driver seat is a lot heavier than the passenger seat and the controllers, so you just need to change the base of the passenger side with something heavier, and the base on the driver seat with something lighter... if there are lighter blocks than what you currently have.

[@mr.person5209]

The reason it is unstable is because when it tilts, because the thrusters are angled, the opposite side’s thrusters are at ~90 degrees, which causes it to continue tipping.

[@sinistertwister8661]

Nop

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

I think this just might be top heavy relative to where the thrust is. Kan's good at the logic and hook up But if you want stability, I suggest Scrapman. He's gotten a much better understanding of how to offset weird weights and thrusts.

[@DiogeneDeSin0pe]

Nice build, keep it up! For a rear thruster, maybe mount it to a bearing on the centerline, then rotate it so it is centered could work.

[@rocketrider6918]

Honestly I believe what Kosmo should try and do, is maybe instead for the forward thrust, make the thrusters in the back slowly point backwards more, the the front ones point down with a slight angle backwards that can fix the speed issue, but the stable issue is just the fact that one seat is heavier than the other.

[@austinclark1238]

You may want a quicker take off just in case of danger coming

[@Quantum_Physical]

You should make the thrusters as buttons as Scrapman made a switch, hopped off and lost his flyer.

[@nightcrawlerau919]

On this, I don’t think he’s using W/S on this build, so should hook the thrusters to the seat using W

[@DamianSiIvers]

Maybe add a second driver seat, like your boat in your coop world

[@WoodrosWorld]

I really do hope you run fantmod.. could also do filler content with his challenge builds.. love this flyer. Just need to get used to its handling. Or, Instead of adjusting thrust and weight, you could adjust the pitch angles on the thrusters themselves to dial in that balance.. I also had issues where I had to have it on a lift for sus glitch to weld properly.

[@WoodrosWorld]

If you put an engine on your pitch suspension bearings, you can use W S for pitch, put roll on A D sus bearings, yaw on controllers. If you do these, you can use a more vertical angle on the thrusters to counter the corkscrew effect you keep getting

[@white-lion8843]

Comrade kosmonaut why aren’t you serving mother russia instead of playing that game Just kiddin btw

[@bobdylanbeaumont2828]

suspension glitch basic set up first place a bearing, 90 degree pipe, small suspension, single straight pipe, then another 90 degree pipe on bearing, and weld the second 90 to the straight pipe.

[@c_death]

love that intro!

[@gaalidas4836]

I love Russian. Can't understand a word, but I sang in it once. Beautiful stuff.

[@tropicalvikingcreations]

Hey Kosmo, not a solution but would love to see a switch to toggle the thruster arms, straight back down for when you want to go fast as well as another switch with an and gate to sensors or your always on button so you can hover above the surface of the ground. I think it's wired, switch and sensor to And gate , then the And gate and the separate always on switch to an Or gate, then to the thrusters to do this, just in case fyi.

[@0megaming]

The flyer is inconsistent, bc of scrap mechanic flying physics. If you don´t gyrostabilise like with the heli. The game tries to get the vehicle with the center of mass to the back and since the thrusters are below the vehicle, it like balances on them. that even makes that effect from the game a bit more intense. I´d suggest giving the controllers max speed for more accurate steering and maybe the thrusters one to two blocks further out for more stability

[@elTT91]

This intro was amazing ! Nice vid Kosmo !

[@Joshisbored1]

You can connect the controllers to your seat for W and S and jus connect the bearings for either roll or turning for a and d

[@chamindarambukwella6194]

Have you tried putting suspension on your thrusters and put a second driver seat to balance the vehicle

[@L0G1C4LLY]

great video, Kosmo, but plaese start working oon your boat! I really want to see it move(faster than now)!

[@coffee_gaming]

Oofant really with his mod, loving the fant mod he also added hover pads so you can shoot over the water. No reply required.

[@daryldeediongson769]

You have to put it to a lift to connect the bearing and the suspension to merge to each other or add 2 bering connected to 1 block by just welding it

[@daryldeediongson769]

Thats how you create a suspension that never retracks by connectiong it to a bearing

[@mikej4714]

Listing i am going to bet you is part of the suspension glitch. When you use controllers to turn the block gets stuck sometimes and pending how far the block is past resting point determines how bad and how fast the listing/spin is.

[@carcrusherlegoscars3757]

Kosmo,he has the beats

[@Ming1975]

Without the suspension glitch flying would be BS due to how much fuel and thrusters needed. It's like devs go all out to make sure you can't fly. Luckily Fantmod gave me ideas to make a 2 thruster flying bike to carry 2 players without using controllers.

[@rysiii811]

the devs should encourage the building of a real garage, not just building platform, just by a random flying drone spotting the base and calling a raid or something if the lights are visible from the sky maybe. I mean I did the basic building platform in my own world myself but I feel that it lacks the immersion a bit this way while it easily could be slightly more sneak enforcing EDIT: also a weight scale would be mighty useful, just for checking how heavy particular segments of the vehicle are (for example your driver seat and your passenger seat with controllers), but I guess you can manually arrange that with a finger pointers and suspension to equal weights of certain segments without knowing how heavy exactly they are, not that it matters, its just a piece of code anyway

[@hakermanreal]

the reason why you are shaking is because the angle is a bit to steep while physics and the controllers are fighting each other and glitching out

[@byggmesterpro1092]

Amazing video! I would like to inform you about leaving haybot arms, trees etc that you said in another episode caused lag. That's not it, in creative; scrap mechanic renders all the objects on the map but not in survival, meaning if you leave 1 or even 9 or 20 haybot arms in a location far away your player won't render it and it's not a problem with lag before you enter that area with the arms. It looks like a lot of text I know but please read it kosmo.

[@sonorangaming4450]

Wheel is caused by a slight collision with the ground. Its a glitch you can exploit for free power.

[@Bill2bearockstar]

In regard to your boat Kosmo. Have you considered Glowbug propulsion?

[@xiphido]

Something that I'm not sure about, but makes sense in theory to me. The list may be because of the placement of the bearings on the pitch glitch. Since they only sit on one side of the creation, maybe they add some extra weight to that side? I wouldn't know for sure, but something to check I guess.

[@darealkosmo]

will do!!

Hi Kosmo, I highly recommend downloading the fant mod. It opens up some many more possibilities, it has so many more interactive parts and parts in general it's awesome for survival. I initially didn't want to play modded too since i kinda saw it as cheating but eventually I tried and now can't imagine playing without it. It doesn't really simplify builds just gives you the opportunity to expend and try really cool stuff you could never do in vanila.
