We Discovered the BEST Way to Farm GOLD LOOT Chests! (Scrap Mechanic Co-op Survival Ep. 58)

[@indisputablefacts8507]

My suspicion is that gold chests spawn more often in buildings you haven't been to in a long time and are far away from the crash site. In my second playthrough, I slapped together a car as quick as I could and just went looting basically continuously before I built anything. As it happened, I got blueberry, banana and orange seeds from the gold chests I found. Sure got me into the spudgun quickly that playthrough.

[@CivilStig]

31:00 You actually took that off while deleting the ‘parking pole’ lol

[@crazyfrog4275]

You need component kits take a flyer and go to the buildings in the big red forrest's they have so many chests in those buildings. There is at least 10 chests in that one building.

The ocean caves sometimes have gold chests too so you could include those in your ocean chest runs and get a lot more loot

[@nightcrawlerau919]

I’ve found that I get the most chests (green and gold) in structures I’ve never looted before, strongly encouraging exploration

[@fastoutnotforkids7192]

Hey Cosmo. Maybe you can ask kan to put a spot light on the front of the boat or one in the back to look around at the water or on the land. Btw maybe get some little lights and paint them blue and green instead of red and green like in real for boats that run at night. Ps. Boats can have under glow just like a car at least in games.

[@_O1_]

u can weld the bag u drop on death to ur creations, nice trick to find flyers that u accidently hop out of btw, bc they are lighter than a chest, u can't put new stuff into it tho

[@CivilStig]

Indestructible as well :)

[@cptkeys7027]

So in the hay field, they are constantly under attack, hence the bots are always on high alert. But the ones in the sea, they rarely see anyone, so they are usually just drinking and chilling. So It takes time for them to get ready to fight (put their pants on and stuff when you guys arrive) and by the time they get ready, you are already up in the building. So no time to come down and greet you ... yeah that's the reason why.

[@joblessaintsfanftw1056]

You should consider building a boat trailer and attach it to the truck so you can tow it to different places such as the fuel station.

[@captain_loeffel]

You want golden chests? No problem, your boat can help and a lot of scrap wood (when you want to come back). There are also a lot of gold chests in the underwater caves and there are a bunch of those caves in the ocean. At least one in the vicinity of the islands, and additional ones in the vast ocean areas. If you could craft lights, I would say craft a lot of lights, take scrap wood and mark all of those caves. So for the cave you need to search the whole ocean even the empty areas. After a short time you will identify those cave parts fast.

[@captain_loeffel]

@@lechking941 I was hunting for oil so it was in one go. I don't know how long I was doing it. I was swimming, so far slower, but after diving into some of them you find out quickly which is the fastest way down and up you take a route, where you can speed up your surfacing by just going straight up a short way. That way you can use the feture for faster surfacing as it just works straight up.

To the episode: Fliers are the "best" traversal vehicle. But that statement is subjective... off topic: I feel like Kosmo would be the one to be super cool with. Like, SM is cool, but seems a little less down to earth. kAN could teach you a lot. But Kosmo, I feel like, would be the homie. With some music choices made, and some of the personal info shared on the Q&A movie (haha), and obvious personality traits, just seems like kosmo is most relatable. At least to me.. Nothing personal toward the others... love the series, love the content, keep up the great work..

[@omega1575]

I think that flyers are the best for traveling and light amounts of looting, but boats are a close second (depending on the map) and can hold more chests

[@TheDistur]

Woo woo! Lots of co-op!

[@adammioduszewski2279]

Heyo, I got an idea for your boat. What if you pulse the thrusters on and off rapidly to help save fuel? I haven't tested but I think you guys might wanna give it a go.

[@yeettis]

They said the deves fixed that

[@roguewolfproduction3819]

Kosmo and kAN doing a co-op survival with the 00fant mod would be amazing. Event better would be if Scrapman made it a for a trio survival.

[@drunkenboxer5568]

Pretty sure the higher gold chest chance is because it's your first time looting that ruin. It's something i've noticed when starting a new game, found a lot more gold chests than usual. At least in the game code there's no difference between buildings on land and those on water. The only categories are "starting area", "outside" and "in a warehouse".

[@kurtisam]

I noticed this too, but thought it was because I hadn't been to the structure in a really long time. your explanation makes more sense though.

[@hisune_39]

38:44 - If you jump on a slanted surface you won't take damage because game counts it as sliding and it in a way resets your fall and slows you down. For example before kAN said that about holding jump Kosmo jumped into a bed and reset his fall damage and slowed himslef down. At least that's what I found while playing, just jump onto a part of a building or terrain to not get any fall damage. If you already did it in a episode that didn't air yet or you don't want to do it please tell me so I will stop nagging you about it. Anyway, as I said few times already, in warehouses, on the last floor, are vents that are made with square mesh block, that has friction 2. You can put 3-4 on the bottom of the boat to make it slide on the ground. Also I found another use for it, you can use it on monorails! You were saying something about making monorails and the square mesh block is perfect for those, either as stabilisation alongside wheels or as complete replacement. they are really nice since they slide easily and don't bounce like wheels do. You can also make very fast speeders using just one thruster, idk if you had plans like that but that's an option. All you need is go to the last level of a warehouse and detach a hatch using a small explosive, detonate it inside the went with the hatch opened and you will get 25 of those blocks. Also you don't need to get stuff out of a warehouse to pick it up, all you need to do is get it into an elevator, for example going from level 4 to 3 and you will still be able to get the blocks. If you find something interesting to pick up in a warehouse you don't have to worry about getting it all the way out :)

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

You guys should farm thousands of spuds then go demolishing red farmbots for component kits Also imagine if there were electric jets/turbines similar to thrusters but producing more power and less acceleration powered by batteries

[@2kkl4wz]

Do you think propellers would work in that sense? They could be powered by either engine, but could generate power. My guess would be they would actually be inverse with acceleration if they were electrically powered, similar to the wheels. Most likely they would be not as powerful but more efficient.

When I put it on a lift, the fps are good, when it hits the ground, its lag-g-g-gyyy... it helped a few fps to demolish my road train, but still its lag-g-g-gy. And the point with this build was to have the ability to pull huge cargo trailers too with the crane vehicle. That means more bearings 😶 of course they have to be standard suspension when only the crane lags down the game. And its before I slap on portable drill system on front of the crane with 8 more bearings.

[@jacobobinator]

I think the gold chests spawn in ruins you haven’t been to for a long time. I saw on the wiki it said taller ruins might have higher chance of gold chests. Maybe the ruins around the edge of the map are generally taller so have more gold chests. Idk just a bunch of ideas.

[@jacobobinator]

Maybe over time green chests turn into gold chests or have a chance to
