We Built a 'High Speed' Boat to Explore the Ocean! (Scrap Mechanic Co-op Ep. 54)

Hey everyone back with more Scrap Mechanic Survival! Today Kosmo and I are going to build a boat to finally start travelling on the water and explore the ocean! After the overwhelming success of the ferry we figured we are expert boat builders now and should have a proper ocean exploration vehicle! @darealkosmo

Dont forget kANs experiment where he tested if pulsing the thrusters with a logic loop saves fuel, which it did, for no real performance loss. Set the thrusters on a loop to conserve fuel. Try it with the Helicopter too! Or maybe it was Scrapman that tested it.

[@endersquid1132]

@@diamondapocalypse5019 also the fact sm doesn't have dedicated servers so someone always has to host meaning everything always has to be done in group sessions which means there's less reason to work on separate bases and everyone's episodes are always recorded at the same time so you've seen one you've seen them all, cause it's kinda weird to join someone's world just to go off and do your own thing...

Axolot really should have way more coomunication with the community, and it would benefit everyone if content creators like you did actually ahve some form of contact with them even if it was just telling you guys about updates afew days early so you guys could actually make videos about the updates to release in a timely manner

[@suikerstaafje7]

That would make kAN a community manager, and those got paid. Dont think Axolot has the resources to do that. The communication is good for an Early acces game, I have seen much worse. I rather wait for a bugfree release instead having a messy update.

[@DuckcuD]

@@suikerstaafje7 no, it would make him an ambassador or community representative And he (or any of the creators in this situation) would in effect get paid by having views and traffic driven to him from the devs

[@ig-rd5923]

if you build a boat, and below the bubble plastic, you just put a thin layer of mesh block or another low friction block, literally the best vehicle for both sea and land travel. Nothing compared to a flyer though, as usual.

[@mikesheahan6906]

They need a parachute backpack, and a scuba tank backpack.

[@thatoneanimator-ishdude5869]

how would they craft it tho? And if it’s through the dress bot then that would turn it luck based.

[@seaofidoits]

hey kan you and cosmo should take apart that boat and make to mini boats with small chest and a fuel can with one or two fruster each and itll use less fuel and resores.

[@fujiwarakenji]

Try putting 2/5 thrusters on a different switch for added speed if you need it. But put them on the front of the boat to even out the weight. Also, thrusters seem to work better at pushing boat when they are out of the water. Might wanna look into that.

[@korysturgess6623]

You guys should build logic into your boat to alternate the thrusters. The pulsing engines will save some gas. Or make a paddle boat.

[@DanielMether]

I would definitely say to keep the boat. I would imagine that trying to land the heli on all of those small islands would be a major pain in the rear...

[@Loaderdani]

I built a helicopter in my creative world and it’s surprisingly easy to fly. I’d definitely recommend it.

[@johnathanpaiz6600]

Make an airboat try putting in the thrusters on a bearing and non-friction blocks on the bottom or keep the design that you guys have and try it like that

[@kittenkommentries5796]

Probably best in using Lvl 3 wood and bubble blocks combine. I’m unfamiliar with how suspension glitches work, especially in survival so the methods I have tried on making boats aren’t precise. But yeah I say lvl 3 wood is probably best, despite the high cost of constructing it.

[@rosstupper1780]

I've personally found that if you point the thrusters down and at all four corners it gives the boat more lift with less drag.

[@TheAlison1456]

11:22 I'm conflicted on those descriptions of the devblog. The Factorio devs, for example, do it really well, they tend to talk about the status of old things they mentioned, and they don't announce new things until they've been a while into development. This "announcing ahead of time" stuff ain't bueno.

[@littlevinster2224]

In my world, I made a catamaran and that worked well. Only had two thrusters (One in each hull) so fuel didn't disappear. Made it out of bubble with wood 3 as exterior to fend off friends bullets!

[@technofreakPR]

Wings would be so cool in survival.. They should just add it into the basegame tbh.

[@greymatter1999]

Something I would really like to see the scrap,devs add is a inventory terminal it would/could look something like an ATM/Cash,Machine and connect to your crafting/chest chain and it would show everything in storage and you could search for what your looking for. It would essentially be like the creative inventory.

[@dexterthebull709]

@@botzmyth the heli that they have rn is decent with fuel, with the bigger chopper, the can have more fuel tanks and some backup tanks connected to them to incase they are almost to somewhere and they don't just fall out of the sky

[@dexterthebull709]

Kan could also put floats on the bottom or side so he can land in the water

[@TheNotOfficialDub]

This isn't very practical because it would take more fuel to bring the vehicles there than to actually just drive them there. And where would the helicopter go once you brought it and the vehicle where you want it to be. It just doesn't seem very useful that's all

[@dexterthebull709]

@@TheNotOfficialDub they have infinite fuel and they can connect multiple tanks to one truster, they could move many vehicles at once and it would be easier(infinite supply of fuel)

I think they should make it so you can change your hammer to different things, and each variant does different things. Such as: Pickaxe: More damage to Rocks, Less damage to Trees. Axe: More damage to Trees, Less damage to Rocks. Heavy Hammer: More overall damage, Lower attack speed. Light Hammer: Less overall damage, Higher attack speed. Battle Axe or something: More damage to Robots, Less damage to resources I just think it would be cool c:

[@trevoryoung2447]

Something that I'd like to you guys doing in your co-op survival world are some challenges somewhat similar to stuff done in Multiplayer Monday or Noob v Pro. The challenges don't have to be complicated. It could be as simple as finding a field near where a caged farmer spawns, then building goal posts at two ends of the field and playing a game of soccer. Or you race to reach the top of one of the giant trees with a limited number of items to work with (some blocks, maybe some pistons and bearings, etc, though no seats, since that makes climbing too easy). Or you pick out a section of road for a race, set up a starting point and a finish line. Then you each build cars to race (most likely working with a limited set of parts; keeping limits in place will make it more manageable in survival. Hmm. Maybe you start out with nothing, then you are given one in game day to gather what you can, then you have to build with what you gathered). Really these are only a couple of suggestions, but the options are whatever you can think up.

[@Synyster024]

put wheels and a motor on the boat for driving across land. could use an electric motor so it doesn't consume the fuel for the thrusters.

[@goose-the-gamer]

Hey Kan you should bulid a 2 seater fighter jet. The front should be a gunner and back seat pilot.

You should replace most of the wood on the boat with either tier 3 wood or just tons of bubble block. Maybe combination of both. Tier 3 wood on the top half and the entire bottom half just bubble block

[@suikerstaafje7]

Try with the thrusters above the waterline instead underwater. And maybe 2 of em in the middle.

I actually just wrote a reimplementation for thrusters, which allows you to edit thrusters jn any way, it is called Low Cost Thrusters on the workshop and it reduces fuel Consumption and upgrade cost by default

[@jickhertz4124]

I think you should make a bubble block slab (no wood) with seat, fuel storage, and thrusters (Bare minimum) to compare the speed to the 'boat'!

[@carterthiessen3144]

You could make a light helicopter out of bubble blocks and other light blocks that uses the flickering thrusters that can just be one seat and island hop

[@bl4ckhunter351]

Maybe use a couple thrusters to push the boat up so it just barely sits on the water?

[@fireninja9173]

you should try making the boat amphibious so you can go on land and water but have a switch or a bottom to switch it from boat to land so you can use the wheels and drive like a normal vehicle and turn the thruster off so it's not using gas in that mode then when you need to go from land to boat you can move the wheels and make them stop moving and then be able to use the thrusters again while still saving on gas
